The food thread

I'm making mac and cheese again this evening, except the macaroni has magically turned into tagliatelle.
Most my pasta magically turns into rotini : )

I like to use different pastas like many of you but I have to say, Mac and cheese tastes best with elbow macaroni. And don't give me any kerfuffle about pasta dough being the same, elbow 'eats' better. 🙂

My mum in Australia always made it that way!

Here's mine

"Prisiljeno zelje" (lit. 'forced cabbage' 😀 ) another regional evergreen. Sauteed onions, garlic, sugar and shredded cabbage in a bit diluted tomato passata, salt, black pepper, caraway seeds. Usually served with mashed potatoes.

No butter added but I read that frying it in butter add more taste. I cleave garlic cloves and stuff the pieces under the skin. Use slat and black pepper, though I guess Хмели-Сунели would be OK, but I prefer not to use it.
I also don’t use Khmeli suneli Khmeli suneli - Wikipedia , and I think that this is not necessary, this seasoning for my taste smells too much for chicken. Previously, I also applied garlic under the skin, but then it did not fry at all, although it did not burn. The best result if you rub the chicken with a mixture of garlic and salt. I also add ground black pepper. If you use adult chicken, frying with oil will give an oily effect. Therefore, Georgians use young chickens with a low fat content (as emphasized in the Georgian name of the dish) and fry in cow oil to get the best taste. Unfortunately, these chickens are not sold in stores; they can only be bought from farmers. To improve the taste of food, the French also like to fry many dishes in cow butter, rather than olive or sunflower. And yet, obviously, you all began to live in a new milestone in history, when there is not enough toilet paper, just as it was under socialism. Money is distributed from a helicopter, and for dinner there is chicken tapak, which is already good news!🙄

Another good cauliflower dish is some variant of "aloo gobi", cooked with onions, some warm, aromatic spices (fenugreek, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili), some chopped tomato or chicken stock, potato, coriander leaf.

(A great version of this was in an "extra feature" on the DVD of "Bend It Like Beckham", in which the writer-director went to the kitchen of a London restaurant with her mother and aunt, and proceeded to cook aloo gobi under their supervision. In the movie the protagonist says to her mother "Anybody can make aloo gobi, but nobody can bend it like Beckham!"))
