What do you eat?

Living as a single guy in Copenhagen, i try the best i can
to eat well. Varied, healthy and home cooked. But often i
buy a pizza. I try to buy something with meat on it, just to
get some proteine.

My question to you all is, if you cook your own food, what
kind of stuff is it? Give me some recipes!

Something easy to do, healthy, tasty and spicy.

I just made some pasta with garlic, spinach, piri piri
(dried chilli mixture). Something i invented myself.

heres a killer

you need tomatoes, garlic, chilli, linguine, spinach, and
prawns.

anytime before making dinner, quarter the tomatoes, hit them
with salt, oil, and any dried herbs, and dry them out in the
oven at 130C

also before dinner, pre cook the linguine until it is almost
aldente.

now for dinner, chop up a good amount of garlic (4 cloves?)
and as much chilli as you like.

sautee off the garlic and chilli in the pan until the garlic
gets a bit of colour on it. the oil in the pan will be
infused with a kickass flavour

turn the heat right up and turn the linguine, prawns,
spinach, and dried tomatoes in this pan until the prawns are
cooked (which wont take long). also add in a bit of salt and
pepper and serve it up!

Sometimes I just fry various meat and vegetables together,
and then add some liquid (sauce, crushed tomatoes, dairy
products etc.). It usually turns out decent.

I love curries and often buy these curry spice mixes where
you add meat, vegatables and the appropriate liquid. It
would've been fun making indian dishes from scratch, but
they usually require about a million different ingredients.

In the working days I usually eat at the school's cafeteria,
which has a really cheap "course of the day" for 25 kr

Really easy chili con carne:
Fry up a packet of minced meat.
Add a tin of crushed tomatoes in chili sauce, a tin of beans
in chili sauce, additional spices and other optional
ingredients (onions, corn etc.)
Let it simmer for a few minutes.

Here's a good healthy recipe, although it isn't amazing... I
still like it, though...

You need two pans, one big enough to boil pasta in, the
other one slightly bigger.

First of all, get some garlic (a few cloves, whatever, to
taste), chop it up fine.

In the small pan, put a load of water in, a few drops of
olive oil, and some salt. When it boils, stick a load of
wholewheat pasta in, enough for whoever you're cooking for
(this serves 3-5 people)...

When that's boiling, put some olive oil into the bottom of
the big pan (one tablespoon or so), set it to a low heat and
chuck the garlic in (gotta be low or it'll burn and fuck
everything up). Make sure to move em about so they don't
burn. Open two cans of chicken broth (okay, high in salt but
this meal is good for ya), pour them in, put in a pinch or
two of some oregano and parsley, then add frozen spinach
(this should be in blocks, put three in), broccoli (couple
of handfuls) and frozen pepper strips (another two handfuls,
if you can't get these cut a pepper up, it'll taste much
nicer too). Add some salt... then cook on a low heat because
you don't want it to boil too much, but keep bashing the
spinach with a wooden spoon because it takes a while to warm
up...

And that's it! Drain the pasta, tumble into a bowl, then
spoon some of the rest on. Bon appetit!

I know a couple of stir fry recipes that are phenomenal too,
but not from memory... will post if I can be arsed. And the
stir fries are spicy, so I guess you'll love them...

Have you ever considered how popeye is really about american
ideals + american battle for oil in the middle east?

Popeye is a sailor, in a way thats archtypical american.
Sailing was the only way to get to America in the beginning.
He uses his willpower, determination and a healthy life
style to aspire to the american dream. He overcomes his
obstacles in an admirable way.

His nemesis is Bluto. Bluto is a big middle eastern type
looking guy (he even has a full grown beard. Many people who
practise islam thinks its proper to grow a full beard, out
of respect for mohammed)

And why are they battling each other? A female character
named Olive. as in olive OIL

This is a nice stir fry that I found in a copy of Men's
Fitness... they fucked it up though (ingredients not used,
stuff in the recipe that wasn't in the ingredients.. twats),
but I've done this a few times and it works well (you can
mess around with some ingredients anyway) - it tastes
fantastic, too:

Ingredients:
250g rump steak, cut into strips (you can add more, may as
well go for a pound)
1 tsp cornflour
2 tbsp light soy sauce (make it dark if you want)
2 tbsp peanut oil (fuck that, just get any old oil)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped (put some more in)
1 red chili, deseeded and finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1 red pepper, cut into chunks
same with a yellow pepper
a jar of black bean sauce (the recipe says 120ml, but if you
get what I can get it's only slightly more than that, so
chuck it all in)
1 tbsp sherry (leave this out if you want)
pinch of ground black pepper
Enough noodles (medium or fine) as you want

Recipe:
Heat a saucepan full of water and add a few drops of oil.
Mix the beef with the cornflour and soy sauce in a jug. Heat
an empty wok until it smokes, then add half the oil and all
the jug contents and fry for five mins (medium heat, or
until the beef's sealed, whatever). Drain and stash it on a
plate (the soy sauce will have stuck to the beef now, mmm).
Put the rest of the oil in the wok and add the garlic, chili
and onion... stir for one minute before adding the peppers
and stirring for a minute again. At this point (or maybe a
minute before) stick the noodles in the pan full of boiling
water, keep breaking them up and stirring. Add the black
bean sauce and sherry. Season with salt and pepper, then
cook for one minute. Add the beef and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Sieve the noodles and add the rest.

The chili and black bean sauce give it a nice oomph. Reminds
me of a couple more good recipes I have, although they
aren't necessarily quick or spicy... might post em anyway.

Okay, here goes... take a while to prepare it, but it's
worth it... it's also a fairly expensive dish due to the
steak, but if you really like this girl I'm sure that's not
an issue. I'm copying the recipe down but I'll explain
everything because you say you're an amateur at this. It may
sound patronising but I want you to get this right for your
chick. This is called Griddled Steak with Pepper Medley by
the way. Oh yeah, you'll need to prepare the steak the night
before. This may look difficult but as long as you get
everything prepared first, it's easy, trust me.

Ingredients.

For the steak and marinade:

- 4 pieces of rump steak (150g/5oz each - of course can be
different - this is supposed to serve four though so you can
get away with two, or three if you're hungry. Anything left
over you can heat up and have later anyway) - cut all the
fat off with a decent knife
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed (first cut the bottom
off and peel the skin off, then use a garlic crusher, if you
haven't got one, crush one with the blade of a knife
horizontally (push your left hand palm over the garlic) and
slice away. The best way to cut veg is to get a knife
vertically, put your left hand over the end of the blade so
it nestles in your palm in a way the knuckles can curl down
it, and keep pushing up and down with your right hand, push
down with your left hand to stabilise it, keep whacking at
it, push it all together, and repeat again and again...)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
200ml/7 fl oz red wine (any cheap shit)
2 tablespoons clear honey

For the relish:

2 red onions, peeled (chop the top off, peel off the top
layer or two off the onion with your fingers, then slice the
rooty end off)
1 small cooking apple, peeled and cored (use a potato peeler
to take the skin off, then slice it four ways just by the
core, turning 90 degrees each time so the core isn't there
anymore)
1 tablespoon soft brown sugar (AKA demerara sugar)

For the medley:

2 tablespoons olive oil


 

offline Dinky Pimp from United Kingdom on 2006-09-17 14:48 [#01972763]
Points: 218 Status: Regular



3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped )you can get away
with crushing these, but just follow the instructions
above)
1 red onion, peeled and cut into wedges (do as above, but
then slice in half, take both halves and slice again, then
slice horizontally if you want, 90 degrees to how you did it
before)
1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into wedges (hold a pepper
vertically, and slice around the inside four times round the
core at a ninety degree angle, like the apple - then scoop
the seeds out. Eat the rest of the pepper, it's nice! Slice
the four parts lengthways and horizontally)
1 yellow pepper (same)
1 orange pepper (same)
salt and ground black pepper (kitchen staples)

To serve:

New potatoes, just boil those in salted water (NO oil) for
as long as it says on the packet.

Method.

Heat up the oven on a very low heat, starter heat will do,
if your oven doesn't have that then the lowest heat, gas
mark 1/4 or whatever. This is to keep things warm later.

Steaks and marinade:
1) Place the rump steaks between two sheets of greaseproof
paper (you can use any paper really, though) and bash them
to fuck with a spiky meat mallet - this is so the garlic
sticks but if you ain't got a meat mallet you could prod
repeatedly with a fork. Rub the crushed garlic over the
steaks and place them in a dish that can hold em. Blend the
vinegar, 150ml/quarter pint or the red wine, and all the
honey. Pour this over the steaks. Cover with cling film
(best) and leave to marinade. You can leave this for 30 mins
if you want but marinading's always best overnight so the
steak absorbs the flavour properly.

Relish:
2) Put the cooking apple and the red onions in a blender or
food processor. If you have a blender you can pick it up and
jiggle it up and down at angles, if you have a food
processor then stick a wooden cooking spoon in the vent to
knock the stuff that ain't processed back into the mix to
get sliced up nice, but DON'T push the wooden spoon in too
far or the blades will slice it to pieces. And wood in r

Points: 218 Status: Regular



And wood in relish ain't good...
3) Take the mixture and place in a saucepan with the brown
sugar and the rest of the red wine, bring it to the boil
(when it starts to bubble), drop the heat down when it
starts to do this, when it's at a low heat but still bubbles
that's means it's simmering, do this for 10-15 mins or until
it reaches a chutney like consistency. Stash it in the
oven.

Medley:
4) Heat the oil in a non stick frying pan/saucepan, on a low
heat, when it starts to get hot (say, just as it starts to
give off smoke), add the onions and peppers. Stir it until
it's soft (about 15 mins - you can eat some to test it,
though - the oil should cover it all). Stick this in the
oven, too.

When that's going on, start heating a saucepan for the
potatoes, water and salt in it.

And finally, the steak:
5) Heat a griddle pan (I use a non stick saucepan, but if
you have a griddle pan that'd work better) until it's almost
smoking. Take the steaks from the marinade and drain em
(hold em over the dish they were in, basically). Cook on
each side for 2-4 mins, personally I like them well done
(burnt) so it's more for me, but 4 mins each side suits the
tastes of most people.

6) Put the steaks on the plates for a few minutes for the
juices to come out, add the relish to the steaks, and put
the new potatoes (which should be ready and drained - check
the times on the pack though because I can't remember how
long to boil em for), add the pepper medley... and once your
ladyfriend has had her fill, maybe you can fill her up in a
different way... for God's sake, man! Make your move!!

Peace

That looks very long and difficult, but it's only cos of my
annotations... it's fantastic meal and your lady will be
very impressed.
