Tzatziki and Ayran recipes - functional version, with extra caveats for the culinarily under-experienced

TZATZIKI recipe - functional/nutritional explanation

More details and idiot-proofing the further down you read, so if you know what you're doing in the kitchen feel free to skim as you get further down.

So what most people know as tzatziki sauce is actually supposed to be a... salad I guess you could call it. It's yogurt and cucmbers mixed together and spiced that you eat straight/with bread as a meal or as a significant portion of a meal (yes, yogurt is a meal, it has plenty of protein. Ditto cheese. I've had people mock my meals like this, but this is a common thing with Near-Eastern style food).

The dish spans continents and has plenty of similar names. In my parents' Farsi it's jajeek, in Armenian it may be known as yalanchi, in Arabic it's jalajeek, to Greeks it's tzatziki. Even India has it but known as Raita but a bit more different than the other recipes.

I don't provide measurements because I don't think it's necessary here or for most of practical cooking. I trust the reader won't spastically add a solid handful of salt or 2 cups of oil to one tub of yogurt. Outside of that, everything is to taste. Only thing I'd say is 2 to 4 cloves of garlic for your typical 32 ounce tub of yogurt is already pretty garlicky... I believe, I haven't made this in a while. The garlic flavor will be stronger the next day as the yogurt absorbs the flavor of the garlic.

So the tl;dr version for people who are very versed in cooking is that it's any kind of unflavored yogurt seasoned with garlic and dried mint or dried oregano and a bit of extra salt. Use only the dried herb. Crush/mince the garlic with the salt and let it sit for a bit to draw out and mellow the flavor; I've read some people soak the garlic in lemon juice to do this, but I can't vouch for that method. I feel like using mainly oregano as the herb could go well with a small pinch of mint, but if you're using mainly mint I wouldn't use oregano, I don't think those flavors mix well in large amounts. Other commonly included ingredients are olive oil, lemon juice, and white pepper. It will last a lot longer if you keep it as a yogurt mix and scoop out some and mix with cucumbers separately when you want to have the salad. Adding a little olive oil if you want it won't make the yogurt break/separate. Nor should lemon juice, even with 2% yogurt, as long as you don't add too much. Lemon might make it more grainy if you use 1.5% non-greek but it's not the end of the world (there's a note below if you don't know what I'm talking about).

-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|

To add a little more analysis for people who need it:

Feel free to use whatever kind of yogurt you like for nutritional purposes, but the most traditional and best flavor and texture for this use is just plain whole milk yogurt, non-greek style. Greek yogurt is fine if you want that extra protein, but it doesn't mix as well and doesn't carry the flavor as well and isn't as savory as regular yogurt (I think the comparatively extra water of regular yogurt helps carry the umami/salt flavor better). 2% yogurt is also OK to cut back calories, but obviously it won't taste as good. Using olive oil (NOT extra virgin, see below) if you're using 2% yogurt may be a good idea to replace some of the fat that would otherwise be there and bring in more flavor. Nutritionally this would be healthier according to some people's opinions because you'd be taking some of the butterfat you'd be having with whole milk and replacing it with olive oil fat, which is heart healthier. But remember, fat is fat and OVEDRdoing it has the same fattening and heart-health effects regardless of the kind of fat.

You shouldn't be using extra virgin olive oil for this because it's too strong and bitter. In general I find extra virgin olive oil isn't really suitable for most cooking for this same reason, only for bread dipping and maybe some salad dressings.

You shouldn't be using fat-free yogurt for this because there isn't sufficient flavor. In fact, you shouldn't be using fat-free yogurt for anything you're going to eat because the tastiness/healthiness ratio is just way too low to justify it. 1.5% yogurt saves on enough calories while still tasting decent.

The stuff below gets into idiot-proofing. Each paragraph is one topic, so if you know about the caveat within the first sentence, you can skip the paragraph:

The mention above about the yogurt becoming grainy if you add lemon juice, if you do not understand, is that lemon juice curdles dairy products. Fats, starches, and proteins prevent this process from occuring, so a higher-fat yogurt will be less likely to curdle. If the yogurt does curdle a bit which may happen with 1.5%

When I say crush/mince the garlic with salt, I mean that the resultant paste/particles should be mixed with salt. I usually just add a pinch into the garlic-crusher I use so the garlic comes out already mixed with salt. The salt will draw out the moisture from the garlic, which carries a lot of flavor, but will also help mellow it out by exposing it to the air (again, let it sit for a bit, however long is practical. Even 5 minutes will do. If you don't want to wait don't, just do this step first and let it sit for as long as it takes you to do everything else). If you don't have a garlic-crusher, I recommend investing in a good one, since adding garlic and lots of it is essential to good cooking and something you'll be doing often.

And while I'm still adding stuff to make this recipe idiot-proof, let me mention that your cucumbers should be peeled and chopped medium to small. No exact size, just how you like it.

Yogurt by itself lasts a damn long time in the fridge, like six weeks, and the added salt here may make it last longer.

If you don't understand what I'm referring to when I keep mentioning 2% or 1.5% yogurt, it's referring to the fat content. They make low-fat yogurts by removing some of the fat, which cuts backs on calories and makes the yogurt healthier generally speaking. The yogurt that is not in any way low fat may be marked as "whole milk" yogurt. 2%, 1.5%, and 1% yogurts have less and less fat respectively. 0% yogurt may be marked as "fat-free" yogurt or "skim-milk" yogurt.

White pepper is like black pepper, but without that outer black coating. It's the sharp bite of pepper, but none of the aroma, a much simpler, lighter flavor but still a lot of bite. You should buy it pre-ground in the spice aisle (which is usually in the baking aisle). One good thing about it is it never relly gets old, since it's all bite and no aroma, there's no aroma to slowly volatilize off and it will always have that bite.

And of course, you can use it as a sauce for gyros. Obviously cut the cucumbers very small in that case.

And one last ancillary note:

There are people who add soaked raisins and walnuts in there, but I really don't like it that way. This dish should be all savory no sweet, though the texture of the nuts some people may like (just soak raw dried walnuts in lightly salted water overnight. This is also a traditional Persian way of eating walnuts in general).

DOOGH / TAHN / AYRAN recipe - YOGURT DRINK recipe - functional explanation

This is a yogurt-based drink that goes by a lot of different names in a lot of different countries, again all in the Near-East. You can even buy it pre-made and bottled at middle eastern shops, though it's not nearly as good as home made and it's an easy recipe. And yes, they bottle yogurt-based sodas, weird, I know. The white yogurt part eventually settles to the bottom and you have to mix it up a lot of the time right before you consume it.

Basically you mix regular, unflavored, whole-milk yogurt into water with some salt, and stir it up to mix it. Usually you add some dried mint. It should be noticeably salty, but not crazy salty like let's say a V8. Enough to bring out a strong salty savory flavor. It should be fully liquid and pourable, obviously thicker than water, but still full-on beverage-level pourability. Can put ice in the glass to keep cold, is fine.

You might be able to get away with 2% yogurt, but I wouldn't go any lower than that in fat content, you need them fat for flavor and already this is a drink that's thinned out with water. And don't use Greek yogurt as it's like stepping backward to step forward - Greek yogurt is just yogurt with a lot of the water removed, when in this recipe you're adding water anyway. Maybe in theory you could make more of the drink with one tub of Greek yogurt since it's more concentrated and you could just add more water? But I wouldn't try it, Greek yogurt tastes a bit different.

Lost Jerk Pepper Topping

Hey guys!

I have been searching for months online for this recipe I made in July of 2019. I was looking up stuff for meal prep and I came across a Jerk Chicken recipe with a Roasted Pepper topping. For all that is holy I CANNOT find the recipe again and didn't print it off again to recreate. I am hoping you all might be able to assist.

The recipe contains the following (from memory): Red peppers (fire roasted), jalapenos, habaneros, bay leaves, sugar, brown sugar, chili flakes.

I know it is incredible vague. The sauce looks thick and deep red. Looks nowhere close to that of a red pepper jelly you would put on a log of brie during Thanksgiving that you can buy on the shelf at your local Sprouts.

The website/blog I found it on had a recipe for Jerk chicken as well as a solid coconut rice recipe and there was a link for the Hot Red pepper topping. If you can help me I will 100% buy you whatever drink you want at Starbucks!!

TIA!

I need to make a dinner and don't know what

My bf and I are coming close to our 2 year "anniversary". Due to the quarantine, we are not going to be seeing each other that day. To be able to celebrate this day together, I wanted to cook a meal and drop it of at his house and drive back to mine. That way we can eat my homemade dinner together while video chatting with some candle light and all romantic. I was thinking about what to cook which we're able to reheat, I really want to make an appetizer and diner. I have dessert already covered. Does any body have an idea? I am able to use all my time for this and am a pretty good cook. I'm starting to panic a little. Because its coming up in 2 weeks.

Does anyone have a good Krispy Kreme Cruller recipe?

When I was younger I lived very close to a Krispy Kreme and LOVED their Crullers, now I live out in the woods and the nearest is ~60 miles away, I’d like a good copycat of them, I recently tried a recipe I found claiming they were crullers, they came out just lemon flavored donuts. I guess crullers are a pretty wide or hard to narrow down taste! If anyone has a similar tasting one to Krispy Kreme Id love to hear the recipe!

Homemade Chocolate Turtles (Vegan, GF, DF)

Homemade Chocolate Turtles (Vegan, GF, DF)

Homemade Chocolate Turtles are super easy to make, Delicious and above everything, it is a healthy snack everyone can enjoy.

Link to post where recipe is-> https://presentoflife.com/homemade-chocolate-turtles-vegan-gf-df/

Not my photo since I am not the greatest in plating so my Turtles did not look as good.

Ingredients

Date Caramel:

  • 1 cup of Medjool dates, pitted
  • 2 tablespoons of coconut milk (or any nut milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Chocolate Coating:

  • ½ cup coconut oil, melted
  • ½ cup of cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Garnishes:

  • About 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1 teaspoon of sea salt

Directions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. To prepare the date caramel, add the pitted dates, coconut milk, and vanilla to a blender. Blend until fully smooth. Drop 14 round spoonfuls of the date caramel onto your prepared baking sheet. Press 4 pecan halves onto each spoonful of caramel. Place in the freezer until fully frozen.
  3. To prepare the chocolate coating, mix the melted coconut oil with the cocoa powder and maple syrup until fully combined and smooth. Pour spoonfuls of the chocolate coating over the caramels. You can leave some of the pecans exposed. Place in the freezer until frozen, at least 10 minutes.
  4. Remove the caramels from the freezer. Flip each caramel over and pour spoonfuls of the chocolate coating over the bottom of the caramel to ensure each caramel is coated in chocolate. Place in the freezer until fully frozen, at least 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the chocolate covered caramels from the freezer. Flip the caramels back over. Drizzle the tops of the caramels with the remaining chocolate, and sprinkle with sea salt. Do not skip the sea salt step! Place the caramels back in the freezer until frozen.
  6. Store the chocolate turtles in the freezer and remove just before serving.

What do I make for my vegetarian picky family?

So as the title said, everyone in my family (except my dad) is vegetarian, my little siblings are pretty picky and the only way to define what they like to eat is "non controversial" - pasta, pizza, potatoes etc.

My mom doesn't want me to make anything with too much butter or sugar (which I have no problem with)

The problem is that whenever I want to cook something, I have to cook for everyone (especially now in quarantine, because everybody has to eat at home 3 times a day).

My mom wants me to make the same stuff all the time, and it's boring and not fun.

Do you have any recommendations for vegetarian, non controversial (if that is a food term), not too unhealthy recipes?

Thanks in advance :)

Cheesy Tomato White Bean Pasta Bake - Recipe

Cheesy Tomato White Bean Pasta Bake - Recipe

https://preview.redd.it/8hzjns14dlp41.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f65b5cdbb07bb338786ff849fc5ad790fead5fd5

Recipe:

1 medium onion, diced4 cloves of garlic, minced2 Tbs. olive oilSaltBlack pepper1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, plus more for the top1 28 oz. can tomato puree, whole peeled tomatoes, or diced tomatoes8 oz. any small pasta shape2 15 oz. can of butter beans7 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, grated4 oz. Parmesan,grated Dried herbs, like oregano, optional

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees with a rack set to the middle. Set a large pot of water over high heat to boil.

In a 10 to 12 inch oven-proof skillet (like a cast iron) heat the olive oil over medium. Add in the diced onion. Stir the pieces around and then let them sit mostly undisturbed (save for stirring just a few times) until they have started to take on some brown color around the edges, about 10 minutes. Add in the garlic, a pinch of salt, a few grinds of black pepper, and the crushed red pepper. Stir those together and then let it go for a couple of minutes more, being careful not to let the garlic brown.

Add in the can of tomatoes. (If you're using whole peeled, make sure to crush the tomatoes up as you go, otherwise they'll take a very long time to break down to a sauce-like consistency.) Let this mixture go, again stirring every so often, until it has reduced by about 1/3 to 1/2 in amount as moisture evaporates, about 25-30 minutes. When you're done, the sauce should be noticeably darker in color and more concentrated in flavor.

While the sauce is cooking, drain the two cans of butter beans in a colander and rinse with cold water to get rid of the goopy can liquid. Grate all the cheese.

By now, the water should be boiling. Add in a couple of big pinches of salt (you want very salty pasta water!) and then add in the pasta. Cook 4-5 minutes shy of the directions on the box or bag for al dente. Right before the pasta is done cooking, pull out about 2 cups of that salty, now-starchy pasta water in a liquid measuring cup and set aside. Drain the pasta.

When the tomato sauce is thickened and darkened in color, it's time to build the pasta bake. Turn the heat off of the skillet and add in the pasta, butter beans, all but about 1/3 of the cheese, and then mix everything together, pouring the saved pasta water in bit by bit as you go to loosen up the sauce (remember, the pasta will absorb the sauce and finish cooking through in the oven). Taste and add more salt if needed.

Once everything is fully mixed together, spread into an even layer and sprinkle with the remaining cheese, more chili flake if desired, and dried herbs if desired. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Broil for a few minutes at the end so that the top gets golden brown and bubbling.

Take the cast iron out of the oven and serve.

  • 1/2 tbsp coriander powder
  • 1/2 tbsp adobo seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Lime juice
  • Salt and pepper

Optional if you can find (don't use if dairy free):

  • Sour cream
  • Shredded cheese

If you can't find meat at the store, use beans, diced tomatoes and canned corn or other canned veggies. Drain well first. Also consider canned meats, you'll just need more seasonings (and less salt).

If making your own sauce (again highly recommend, it's dead easy):

  • 5 tablespoons neutral oil
  • 2 tablespoons flour (for gluten free, use cornstarch)
  • 1/4-1/2 cup chili powder (use more for more heat, be careful!)
  • 3.5 cups broth of choice
  • 10 ounces tomato sauce
  • 5 ounces tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Sprinkle of garlic powder
  • Sprinkle of onion powder
  • Sprinkle of white pepper
  • 1/2 tsp coriander powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

*** You can also cut the chili powder in half and skip a lot of the seasonings, and simply pulse down a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and add it with the broth. Remove half the tomato sauce if you do this.

Heat oil in a small pot. Stir in flour or cornstarch and whisk until smooth. Once bubbles form, add chili powder, whisking constantly. Keep a close eye on this or it will burn. Cook for 1-2 minutes until chili powder just starts to darken. Add broth and tomato sauce/paste. Bring to low simmer and add all seasonings. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes to reduce and thicken. Watch for splattering, the oil gets hot!

While that simmers, preheat your oven to 400F. Toss meat, onions, chilies if using and all spices and lime juice in a bowl. Pour the meat onto a foil-lined tray and bake until just cooked - 20 minutes for chicken. Remove from the oven and shred using two forks or a blender.

While the meat cooks, mix beans in a bowl with seasonings of choice - cumin, garlic, salt, pepper, whatever Mexican style seasonings you have to hand. This is optional. Set the bowl aside.

Get your desired lasagna dish ready - I used a 11 x 7 glass dish and this recipe filled it just to the top. Put some sauce down, then the tortilla strips, beans, filling, cheese if using, more tortilla strips, then more sauce. Repeat. I got three layers out of this so keep that in mind when dividing your portions. The top should end with sauce.

Place in the oven uncovered for 20-25 minutes until edges are bubbling. Top with cheese if using. Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes before serving - seriously, don't skip this step. Serve with sour cream if using.

This made 8 very large portions (I can eat a half portion and be full, my husband eats a full serving), total cost for me was about $8 but I had all of the seasonings on hand, and I make my own broth.

Let me know if you have any questions, or need ideas for substitutions.

Request for soup recipes!

I’m in NYC and planning one last grocery haul on Monday before we are hardest hit here. I’m planning to make a few large pots of soup to freeze and hopefully last for a while.

I would love it if you would share your favorite soup recipes that are hopefully somewhat healthy and easy to make a large pot of. Thanks and stay healthy!

Authentic gnocchi recipe

I am keeping myself distracted ( and happy) by cooking something new in every meal :D

Have never been able to make gnocchi successfully. It's either falling apart or too hard. Can anyone share a personal recipe, tips and tricks to get it right ?

Also looking for an authentic recipe - sauce and ingredients. For sauce I have at home - seafood, tilapia, chicken and some ground beef, parmesan cheese, milk, no tomato just have some tomato paste and a variety of dry herbs.

Hoping for a tomato chunk-less lasagna recipe

I realize it may seem like a bizarre request. I've just always had some texture issues with some specific foods, mushy/non-uniform tomatoes being one of them.

Lately I find myself craving some lasagna, but I don't want it to go to waste because I didn't feel like digging out tomato lumps I find.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to substitutes, or an actual recipe? (It's not the taste of the tomatoes, I'll drink tomato juice, and I love avocados, for example, despite their mushiness.) Would using an immersion blender with recipes that call for crushed tomatoes "ruin" it too much?

Thanks for any pointers!

I am looking for a recipe for something I used to get at an Asian bakery. I would settle for just the name of it if someone knows.

I am sorry, I can only describe what it was and it was over 10 years ago I don’t know the name. I used to visit this Asian bakery near Elicot City MD where they served these stuffed buns that had potato’s and various other ingredients in them for breakfast. They were kind of greasy and unhealthy so I assume they were fried (and Americanized). The dough was kind of like a bread. It reminded me of a mix between a sandwich and a hot pocket.

Italian Green nettles Ravioli! (Vegetarian)

Have you ever homemade Italian green Ravioli? I just tried. It's not easy but the result is astonishing! Ravioli was a lot of work ( or I'm slow). Also, the temptation to make the Italian colours in such a moment of suffering for my country was too big. I added some homemade tomato sauce and Mozzarella!

So,

WHAT'S IN THERE?

4h

FOR THE PASTA:

100g of Nettles

400g of Flour

2 eggs.

FOR THE FILLING:

1 BIG Onion

2 Big eggplants

Olive oil

Salt.

FOR THE TOMATO SAUCE:

4 Tomatoes

100 g of tomato sauce

A bit of salt

A bit of sugar.

FOR THE THE RAVIOLI IN THE PAN:

30 Sage leaves

100g of butter

LITTLE FUNNY FOOD FACT:

Did you know that Ravioli is a typical Italian dish? There is an infinite variety, they change in every region of Italy for the shape, the fill and the name! You could spend half of your life eating different kinds of them.

Well Done, by reading until here you just enhanced your Culture!

Today I made carrot cake. It was a bit challenging due to lack of liquid in the batter but I solved it with adding more milk! The outcome was perfect!

Hi,

So my reciepe:

1) 1 egg 2) 1 spoon of oil 3) 3/4 cup of sugar 4) 1 spoon of cinnamon 5) 1 spoon of baking powder 6) 1.5 flour 7) 1 cup of milk

Mix all together. Then put it in the oven leave it on medium heat for 15 minutes then decrease the heat into low for another 15 minutes or so.

Also dont forget to grease your pan with oil and flour so your cake wont stick or burn. And remember, cooking is a chemistry.
