I doubt I'll get this made before the challenge ends, but I wanted to enter it anyway. We've made this multiple times, but not in a very long time. It could be a starter, part of a light lunch or a side. Makes a 9-inch tart, can be doubled for 2 easily. You will need a 9 inch tart pan with a...

Eggplant rolls with pistachios Serves 4-5 | Preparation & cooking time 1,5 hours These eggplant rolls are inspired by Georgian eggplant rolls; Nigvziani badrijani, which are filled with a paste made of walnuts, garlic, herbs (like cilantro and fenugreek), vinegar and water and garnished with...

Onions are cheap and available in any season, easy to prepare and perfect as a side-dish as well as a second course. We have seasoned them with aromatic herbs and Italian Speck ham from South Tyrol. Serves: 4 | Preparation time: 10 minutes | Cooking time: 20-25 minutes White onions: 8...

This thread is meant for the pagans/witches/and other magical folk under us who use cooking as an expression of their beliefs and religion. What is it? Kitchen witchery is for folks who want to practice magick and witchcraft with an emphasis on cooking, food, and mealtimes. Feel super...

I know we've had many threads on using oils, but does anyone actually make their own herb oils? Having been served some home made parsley oil whilst on holiday recently I am keen to have a go at making some. We have a glut of parsley in the garden, and some good quality olive oil brought back...

This recipe is vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free. The Thai basil in this recipe was home-grown. This idea just sounded relaxing, and the only things I bought when the idea occurred to me were the mushrooms (regular white button ones). Seeing the mushrooms, and knowing what was in my home...

Do you make/use compound/flavored butters? I make them fairly frequently, using fresh herbs during the warm months and dried herbs in the colder months. I usually don't get too complex with them, and favorites are basil and dill. I'll also sometimes flavor butter with dried spices, etc. I'll...

In the last few days, a couple of people here have mentioned, in passing, drying their own fresh herbs. I've never done that, nor did my parents do so when I was a child. I'm assuming this could be done using a food dehydrator, or in a low oven, or even air-dried, depending on your local...

I was thinking today that I don't think I've ever put herbs in a sandwich. But why? I put lettuce leaves, raw spinach leaves, micro greens etc in sandwiches, so why no herbs. I was particularly thinking of coriander leaves as I happen to have some to use up - it was then I realised I'd never put...

I have to say that I had my reservations about this cheese. I've made things in the past that used tofu and they were miserable failures. if you've ever just been served a slab of tofu, warmed slightly with no attempt made to do anything with it, not even drain it properly then you'll...

I ordered (via the internet) some herbs I've never tried before: Epazote, Hyssop and Strawbini. The Epazoti is thanks to @CraigC (see here), a Mexican herb; the hyssop is whim and if anyone knows how to use it please tell me; the strawbini is not really a herb I suppose. Its a type of spinach...

@timmyc wrote in another thread about freshening up parsley Well, I knew this trick but had completely forgotten about it so thanks @timmyc! I had some parsley which had gone distinctly limp and pretty well unusable and was about to throw it out - but then I remembered and plunged it into iced...

Yesterday I was following a recipe (in the vague sense that I usually follow such recipes) for making onion soup when I came across instructions to tie my herbs together for removal at the end of cooking. Lacking the option, at least easily, to tie them together I ended up chopping them and...

This is one of those dishes that is not only flexible with the quantities for the ingredients, mixing and matching with whatever you've got available but looks like an awfully complicated recipe and the truth is ,it isn't . It's actually quite simple and is just a question of timing of you're...

we are in summer here ATM. We have all year herbs like rosemary thyme parsley oregano. But what I can't grow all year round is coriander aka cilantro and basil. So in summer we grow as much of the latter herbs and freeze in handful quantities. I've grown coriander from seed for the first time...

Well, here in Egypt it's kind o hard to find some things that I could find so easily in America. There are some herbs and spices here I don't even recognize either. That's normal though when living in a different country other than your homeland. It's rather hard to find a good resource to...

I (finally after 20 years of waiting) have a patio and one part is now allocated to growing herbs in pots. I’ve harvested some mint and after reading an article about pesto (basically it can be made with whatever you have not just the traditional basil & pinenut combo) I made mint pesto. It...
