While eating chickens, I save the bones, which I boil down to get a nice chicken broth (~4 hours of 'slow boil'--i.e. heat up and simmer/boil).

Then, filter it out the bones and what not, add some flour, stir quickly, and you got a nice roux.

Add chopped vegetables as you please. If you want something more cajun, add paprika, garlic, onion, black, and cayenne powders with some salt.

If you want something more asian, add curry mixes (corriander, tumeric, what not), cumin seeds, etc.

Bulgarian? Oregano and cumin powder with some pepper.


Depending on how crunchy or mushy you want the veggies, boil and simmer as you please. To get the cajun 'stew'/gumbo/whatever hotter, let it cool for longer, then serve. To add more richness to the curry 'stew', let it sit overnight in the fridge.




Another good way to marinate meats--e.g. ground beef, is to mix the desired powders and seasonings in them, and then put the patties back in the fridge overnight. Another way is to (duh) let them 'soak' in some kind of sauce for 30 min before cooking.

I'm not really big on liquid marinades though. If you cook it right, it'll be juicy (e.g. don't press down on the burger patties while cooking. You'll release all the juice).

(Yelling loudly across the house from the computer to the wife) "what's for dinner? i am starving!"

45-60 minutes later...an amazing home cooked meal is on the table.

Love my wife!

3 Cheese Ranch Chicken on a Stick

Take thawed boneless skinless chicken breasts and cut them into strips.
Marinate them for half an hour or more in Kraft 3 Cheese Ranch Dressing. We use regular (not low fat) version.
Put chicken on skewers. If you use bamboo skewers, soak in water while chicken marinates.
Place on cookie sheet (line sheet with tinfoil for easier clean up)
Sprinkle Kraft Parmesan cheese on one side of the chicken. Place in oven with oven on broil.
Watch closely. In approximately 8 minutes or so chicken will be golden, remove from oven, flip skewers, sprinkle with Parmesan again and cook other side for same time.

We usually have this with Basmatti rice, usually cumin rice.

Very easy and very delicious and cooks quickly. Use 1 breast per person.

Search for "beijing kids gongbao jiding". The first result that comes up is a good recipe for Kungpao Chicken. Love that stuff.

Stir-fry eggs with chopped tomatoes and serve over rice. You probably want to stir a bit of sugar and pepper into the eggs and tomatoes while cooking. Totally effortless meal.

My "Keep it Simple Stupid!" Recipe for boneless skinless chicken breasts:

Put them on one of those square skillets with the little lines in them like a grill.
Have the heat on 8 or a bit under High, depending on your stove. Also works on a broiler and a grill.
Take a pinch/lightly sprinkle each of the following and spread it over each piece of chicken fairly evenly:
Meat tenderizer
Chicken Rub
Garlic Powder
Minced Onions
Mrs Dash (regular) (alternative to salt)
Lemon Pepper

When the chicken and the pan begin to get hot, flip the chicken over and repeat the spices (whichever order you want both times). Keep cooking until the meat is white the whole way through (use a fork and knife to cut open to check), while cooking, turn the meat over regularly so as to keep the cooking balanced.

When done, eat up! Also goes well with some sweet and sour sauce or ketchup (personal prefrence). Enjoy!

im interested in your seafood recipes,
could you post please?

[AslanTheKing]

it seems nobody likes seafood here

[Razorvich]

sorry.. will get them for you in the next few days.

I generally learn to cook the seafood I catch myself.

That can be anything from Gummy Shark, Dhufish, Pink Snapper, Balchin grouper (blue bone), King George whiting, Breaksea Cod and blue swimmer crabs.
We also get onto a lot of Sampson fish.. the one I landed on the weekend was around 30Kg ... (we let the big mature ones go) ... they are great for curry.

The type of fish really does influence the meal, from a deep fry for a 3-4 star fish with triple cooked chips, to baked and pan fried for the really good stuff.

I have been experimenting with chilli crab recently, and baked whole fish.

Haven't forgot, recipes to follow when I get some free time.... gota go cook dinner

Yorkshire puddings tonight WOO HOO

[AslanTheKing]
