    Can we pleeeasssee get more long struggle meals like this??

  • @Astavyastataa
    @Astavyastataa 4 ปีที่แล้ว +80

    Brotip: y’all can make paneer (Indian fresh cheese/cottage cheese) in basically the same way as the ricotta. You just squeeze out as much of the water as possible and try to shape the remaining paneer into a block, sort of like of tofu. The paneer can be pan-fried, deep-fried (for structure), or even scrambled. Also, the remaining whey can be used to replace water in the dough for rotis/chapatis to make them extra soft. We traditionally use lemon or lime juice as the coagulant, but vinegar works too.

    • @rajatkaushik6406
      @rajatkaushik6406 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The difference between this and Paneer is that you coagulate the milk after boiling it for Paneer, whereas this is done a little prior to it. Also, y'all can make cream cheese with paneer as well if you live in a place where cream cheese is expensive/not-available.

    I'm sure someone has probably mentioned it already, but you can revive limp celery by standing fresh cut stalks in cold water; the colder the better. After about 15-20 minutes, it'll be crisp as new.

    One thing I can’t wrap my head around is we don’t have a hand mixer to make whipped cream, but we have an immersion blender? IMO a hand mixer is more of a staple item. Love everything you do Frankie, going to be making my own meals soon can’t wait to try out your tips!!

    I've been cooking the potato/vegetable combo like that for decades, just loving all the flavors together, as well as it having been one of my late son's favorite meals (we used whatever vegetables were in the house, but also went to the numerous farm markets available to us in the 1980s and 90s).
    One of my favorite root vegetables to put in, along with the potatoes and sweet potatoes, is parsnip. Man, oh man, there simply is no vegetable like it for flavor, and to me, THAT makes the entire already-delicious dish into real "comfort" food!

    I tried making this recipe and it took forever. I had to substitute with butternut squash and it might have to stay in the oven longer than the internet says. I used half of a third of a cup of flour and it was too much. The milk doesn’t need to be on the stovetop for too long to curdle and it takes forever to cool down in the fridge

    Easy way to get lasagna noodles pliable: lay in a sheet pan, cover with boiling water, cover with foil, wait 15 min. I hate using my drinking water to fill a big stock pot and using propane to boil a big pot of water so this is a great cheat and it works! Good for lasagna or if you want lasagna noodles for rollatini!

    I wonder if evaporated milk diluted by 50% with water would work in place of expensive milk in a jug for an even less expensive but equally tasty result. (also saves the cost of refrigeration an inventory loss via spoilage of the milk in a jug). I use evaporated milk all my cooking where milk is called for (except I use powdered skim in bread).
