Cool. It will be done in half an hour. Hope I wasn't supposed to add any sort of spices or seasoning, cause I didn't.

If your stuffing has spices in it, that's all you need. What did you use for stuffing?

Lynsie

Stovetop.

Ohhhh man. That was so good. I feel fat now. I'll always remember it too, because I was eating it while watching the Michael Jackson verdict.

Anyway, my sister loved it. Thanks FG!

You forgot to provide the vital info. Did the chicken fully crossed the road?

:D

You're very welcome! Glad you liked it. And it was easy to make, too, right?

Lynsie

Very easy, next time i'll make it for my girlfriend and impress her with it because she's convinced I can't cook.

As for the chicken....


...I wouldn't have eaten it if it wasn't cooked! Doy :P

Jo, Kimchi is a tough nut to crack. Many Koreans like kimchi very spicy and fermented, which might be too ethnic or exotic for palates that are not accustomed to kimchi. Having said that, here are two recipes for cabbage-based kimchi that I found on the internet and liked. One is non-fermented version, while the other is fermented version. The first one(non-fermented version) is meant to be made in smaller quality and eaten right away, while the second one (the fermented one) can be kept for week in the refrigerator.

Kimchi Recipe 1:

Ingredients

1 Chinese cabbage
1 teaspoon vinegar
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon hot pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Sesame seed oil

Directions

1. Chop the cabbage into pieces about 1 1/2 inches long by 1 1/2 inches ride. Three cups of chopped cabbage are needed.
2. Crush the garlic and blend with the hot pepper, soy sauce and vinegar. Add the cabbage and mix well. Add the salt and sugar, mix, and cover until ready to serve.
3. Add sesame oil (the roasted kind you get from Asian grocery)to taste.

MAKES 4 SERVINGS.



Kimchi Recipe 2:



Go to this website. It's actually very nice and the recipe came from an actual Korean and you can see pictures of a Korean actually preparing the dish. This is actually how my mother would make kimchi and her kimchi is very, very good. They make a big deal out of what they call the "kimchi sauce". They say it's better you not knowing how it's made. It's really nothing bad. It comes from salted and fermented sea food such as shrimps or anchovies. You can leave it out and still get good kimchi. Because of me (I'm a vegetarian), my mother makes kimchi without using it and her kimchi tastes fine.

Cool! That was one of the websites I had a recipe from. I do like the fermented kind, and had tried one recipe that turned out not so bad. Instead of chili powder, I use my own home grown chilies so the final dish is not as red.
Thanks for the reference.

One of the hardest bits in Still Life is when you have to figure out the recipe to make cookies, i´d like to try and make some.
They prolly taste yummie! :9~

Resurrection...

Even though I don't do it often enough, I love to cook (especially things I've never tried before!).

I've been enamoured of Middle Eastern and North African cuisine lately and I got a tagine for Christmas.

http://www.tagines.com/prod_images_large/PC722.jpg

I've tried it twice. Once in the oven, but I put too much liquid in and the recipe was blah. The second time I used it on the stove top (I have an electric so no need for a diffuser) and it worked beautifully on medium heat.

I made Chicken Tagine with Olives and Preserved Lemons:

2-3 T. olive oil
1 red onion, chopped finely
3 garlic cloves
salt and pepper
3/4 tsp. ground ginger
1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
large pinch of saffron threads toasted and crushed(I think this is optional as it is expensive)
1 chicken about 3-1/2 lbs. (I used some chicken breasts)
2 cups chicken broth or water (the recipe said 3 but I cut it down d/t the tagine)
1/2 cup greeny-brown Moroccan olives (or Greek kalamata olives)
1 large bunch cilantro finely chopped
1 large bunch parsley finely chopped
1 preserved lemon in salt - rinsed then chopped (+/- the skin)

Heat the oil. Fry the onion until golden. Crush the garlic with a pinch of salt then work in the ginger, cinnamon, saffron and a little pepper. Stir into the onions, cook until fragrent then put over the chicken (at this point in the tagine)

Add the broth (or water) and bring to simmering point. Cover and simmer for 1-1/4 hours turning the chicken 2 or 3 times.

Add the olives, preserved lemon and herbs, cover and cook for another 15 minutes. The resulting sauce may need to be concentrated further depending on flavor.

There are also vegetarian tagine recipes as well. :) :)

Oooh yeah, that sounds awesome. Might have to cook that myself. I like Morrocan food... they do things with Cous Cous that could make a grown man cry.

Heh, I'd post my own Italian recipes, but they aren't that suprising.

Holy shit. That's the biggest butt plug I've ever seen.

*cough*

uh........ummmmm...... :crazy:








really, it's used for cooking :)

Sweet and Sour Chicken (student in a hurry version)

You need:
Chicken
Egg (beaten)
Oil
Cornflour
Tomato paste / sauce
1 Lemon (squeeze it for juice)
Honey
Capsicum - cut into small pieces
Some sweet pineapple - cut into small pieces (if you
like)
Onions
Garlic

Chop the chicken into small bite-size pieces (I like them boneless). Heat some oil. Soak the chicken pieces with the beaten egg and coat them with flour. Fry the chicken pieces and set them aside.

Fry onions and garlic. Add chopped capsicum and pineapple. Add tomato sauce and lemon juice. Add honey. Add some water if it is too thick. Stir. It should have that sweet and sour taste and the texture should be, well... saucy. Add salt to taste. Finally, add the fried chicken into the sauce and stir them all together. Serve.

Bacon 'n Eggs a la Mares('s mom)

*Cut bacon into little pieces and place on frying pan. Fry until crisp. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT remove the bacon from the pan.

*Cut chamignons and place into the pan, have them cook on the bacon fat for a couple of minutes.

*Add eggs & salt. Preferably, do not mix eggs, so that the yolk would stay intact. Sunny side up, I believe it's called.

*Serve with tomatoes, cheese and bread.

Tabacco, I'm still waiting for those pie recipes...I'm addicted to pie, and already convinced some people at another forum that we should use real pie instead of the pie shaped figures when playing Trivial Pursuit.

A little more, and I will need pie be served intravenous...
