What are the foods that everyone here eats day to day?
I’m looking for more to add to my arsenal.
In my head there’s a big difference between staple foods and the kind of food that you make when guests come over.
I suppose it’s an increased emphasis on being easy/practical to make, or make in bulk as well as as nutrition. I guess it’s the staples that largely decide how the kitchen is stocked too.
Surprised no one’s saying tempeh. I’ve been eating a laughable amount lately. You can cut it en julienne and poach it in stock with some spices for a protein-rich grain replacement, so I often have that with some rocket in a wrap.
Tempeh is great but kinda expensive where I live so I only buy it occasionally. But I love it otherwise, could eat a whole slab “raw” (as far as a fermented food can be raw)
i fucking love tempeh and i never hear anyone else talk about it. can’t go wrong with sliced and pan fried
+1 tempeh.
I didn’t used to like it that much - I find it has this kind of pungent bitter note amongst the nuttiness.
That is until I started absolutely blasting it (200C) in the toaster oven before any kind of prep. Then I’ll do sesame oil and toss around in some kind of spicy dry rub and cook for real.
Basically just more oil and seasoning and crisping if it’s for company lol.
Hm, don’t think it should be bitter at all. Try steaming it first too!
