Wow those are a couple of really interesting techniques! I've never made dough in a food processor with boiling water, and the rolling up method sounds like it would make for an interesting texture. And you could probably put other seasonings or types of finely diced veggies in there too.
well, vegetarian hamburger. instead of meat, just use heart of bananas. the banana heart has to be "cleaned" in vinegar though however, i dont know if you have those.
i am however, not the time to measure ingredients :P (i'm like the cook for the old show urban peasant)
but if anyone is interested in this. i'll get the actual proportions
I looked up heart of banana, and sadly I've never seen that for sale here, even in specialty produce marts. But that gives me a good alternative to hamburgers. I hadn't thought of making a vegetarian burger. Maybe I could use something else starchy for a base, like potatos, or maybe some dried beans? And mushrooms for a meaty flavor? There are lots of possibilities I think. Thanks!
the banana heart replaces the meat. and most people cannot tell the difference, really! but i guess, i am in a tropical country so i have easy access to banana heart cost here for 1 kilo alternative for meat burgers would be under $2.
for spring rolls usually done with meat, you could try fish (if that's cheaper)
We often use turkey here as a substitute because it's cheaper (and healthier).
Huh, I hadn't thought of roasting a whole turkey either. One large bird could feed us all week, and they're really inexpensive! I'm getting some good ideas here. ^___^
Google translates it, though a couple of the words don't quite come through. That would make it an adventure in cooking. XD Thank you! It looks really tasty.
Hmm. I'm not sure how cheap mushrooms are over there, but you can have my filled mushroom recipe for all it's worth. I normally eat them on their own, but I imagine you can have them instead of meat with potatoes or rice
( ... )
I like pate, but it's really expensive here. Regular cow liver you just don't see at grocery stores here anymore, so it's quite expensive too since it's special order. You can occasionally find chicken livers, but only at gourmet-type stores. And you know, I've never even seen foie gras for sale except in a restaurant. Not that *that's* on my menu lol.
The mushrooms sound tasty. It sounds like you use something like our portobellos (large crimini mushrooms)? Those are often used in vegetarian dishes to replace beef.
Yeah, beef and pork liver was gone from our stores for a while as well, but now it's back at some of them and it's about $2 a kilo which is really cheap. And chicken liver is also fairly cheap and found in any supermarket, mostly because it's sought by some of the older people still doing old Romanian recipes. I was not sure you had it though, which is why I asked.
Champignons and portobello mushrooms are the same thing. I also get pleurotus, which run through flour and egg and the result is a vegetarian version of schnitzel. But Pleurotus is more expensive than champignons, which can be use in... well, almost any recipe. At any rate, chopped mushrooms fried with leek or onion can go as side dish with rice or potatoes. (I normally use leek because my liver tolerates it better than onion.)
Oh! And if you buy a chicken, you can boil it and then use the meat separately, keep some of the stock for anything requiring it, and turn the rest into noodle soup. (Home-made noodles require two eggs, about a cup of flour, a pinch of salt, and a LOT of patience to make them.)
There's this: http://bucatarialianei.albaportal.net/appetizers/boeuf-salad.htm In my family, we don't use peas at all, though we might throw in some corn on occasion. The good thing is, you can use the meat from parts of the chicken that people don't always like to eat (neck, wings). Also, due to the mayonnaise, it's really satiating (if not 100% healthy). We normally use home-made mayo for this.
I have another bean recipe for Ham and Bean Soup for the Crock Pot or slow cooker that is super easy. I am sure you could adjust it for the stove top if necessary.
1 bag Great Northern dry beans (sorted) I am sure you could use other varieties 1 onion coarsely chopped Smoked Ham Hocks (I have also used very lean bacon) 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of dry mustard (to taste)
Put it all in the Crock Pot and add water to the very top. Add more water as necessary to maintain water level if cooking for longer times. Cook for 8-24 hours, remove bones. Stir occasionally while cooking and serve with corn bread of your choice. If there are leftovers they only get better tasting however the beans do tend to dissolve a bit.

For Chinese Green Onion pancakes. Their recipe calls for all sorts of oils but really, you can use whatever kind you have and it works the same. <3
