/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I was surprised at how good it tasted considering the recipe is bass off something from /fit/.

My dog said he'd eat it but I wouldn't.

Sounds good OP, but not sure about the lentils, seems meh.

Why didn't you serv on a bun with tarter sauce?

also white rice looks great with the dish, I might have fried it, but I think it looks great, Why not add a little meat, or some more fish or herbs to the dish to make it more presentable?

>>4273800
I agree with most of your suggestions, however I am a studentfag, so my resources are limited. I'll keep your ideas in mind next time I plan in making it. I used lentils because most of my meals use rice and lentils as a filler.

>>4273800
also culinaryfag.

Well then, lets see... on a budget, why not use eggs to fry up the rice, if its the case that you're poor then clearly lentils was a good choice.

you might want to try buying some flour and learning how to make dumplings that way you could just make tons of dumplings and rice, you get to fill up, and show up to friends.

>>4273846
Not a bad idea, thanks. I'll look up how to do that and get what I need when I get groceries this week. I'm not really poor, but I consider myself to be fairly frugal so I try to spend as little as possible.

>>4273900
Should be fairly easy, what you can do is either than, or buy some spices and find ways to beef up your meal. If you aren't into meat, then i suppose you could use either fish instead or just season your rice in a variety of ways and just use whatever you want to go with the rice, using rice as the main course.

>>4273922
I have no problem with meat, I just usually buy a small amount of it for flavor and use rice/lentils to stretch the meal.

>>4273935
Go to a small butcher, ask for a special deal since you're a student, buy meat straight from him for cheaper (possible discount, if you volunteer to work under him he might give you a little free meat, or all the fat trimmings you want)

what a noice idea

a good effort! i'd eat / 10. i think a bit more spice woulda [chili powder or paprika maybe] done it good, but having not tasted it i could be wrong. those kind of tweaks are merely preferential anyhow. carry on.

mine turned out great, added mozzerella and celery. Needed tarter sauce, but otherwise very tastey.

>>4273808
Your picture does look like a college dorm. (the bowl is college-tier too). Did you use canned tuna? And did you have to dice/slice it?

>>4274346
That would be because it is a college dorm, and I am a college student. Yes, I used canned tuna, and I just kind of broke it apart with my hands until I got the texture I wanted.

>>4272412
I think you should be fucking ashamed, really
mixing egg with ground fish? really? garlic in your fish? really?

kosher salt? enjoy your iodine deficiency, you will literally become more retarded day by day

on to more important things: your presentation is awful, it looks like someone took a shit on a gravel patio. the red plastic trough just adds to the impression

10/10 if this was a troll post. would rage again.

>>4274419
Ok, was the egg and flour used as a coating, or was it part of the mixture?

>>4274517
Mixed in to hold it together.

>>4274514

i am THIS close to puking

Does it hurt to be this autistic?

>>4274524
>hurr durr pepul aren't allowed to like things i dont like
2/10 made me reply, troll harder next time

>>4274525
yes. yes it hurts like a motherfucker.
you know what else hurts? people taking perfectly fine ingredients and making them into shit food, because they just don't know better

>>4274531
Dude, it's a college kid. At least he's fucking trying, and he's probably high as a kite, so It's gonna be "fuckin amazin bro" no matter what. Live and let live, eh? It's not like you were cranking out michellin star meals the first time you got in the kitchen, and if you discourage people, they'll never bother to become better cooks. Just sayin.

>>4274531
(continued, just so you know I am not shitting you)

egg fried rice(with a bit of garlick tossed in at theend and then removed if you'd like) with glassy celery julienne

tuna-lentil-pickle salad with soy vinegar dressing

there.

>>4274540
>probably high as a kite
If I had enough money for weed, I'd spend it on higher quality ingredients instead. I don't have a problem with people who do use it, it's just not for me.

Seeing as its from /fit/, the egg isn't really all that surprising. The presentation is weird though, I could see serving it Over a salad base like in >>4274320 Not sure what dressing thatd go with though

>>4274552
Not a bad idea. Out of curiosity, why do you hate the idea of garlic on fish so much? I've seen many people use it many times and it's always tasted good.

>>4274540
> It's not like you were cranking out michellin star meals the first time you got in the kitchen

you have a very good point there. I still toss out food once in a while.

> if you discourage people, they'll never bother to become better cooks

another very good point, but one I have to object to. I cannot encourage such an attitude towards food. two minutes of thinking about how the tastes will (or in this case will NOT) blend together would have produced a much more enjoyable meal, at literally zero extra cost and effort

>>4274559
Christ alfuckingmighty on a fucking pogostick
of fucking course garlick is excellent
it's just that (unless you are using old smelly fish, and even then) it absolutely kills the fishy flavor
might as well eat chicken at that point
garlick on snail? another issue altogether
garlick in a pungent calamari salad? fuck yea!

>>4274553
Well, there you have it, boss. Your idea of hell is someone else's tuesday fucking morning. Also, in case you were wondering, Among pot smokers, the general consensus seems to be that herb gets you through times of no money better than the reverse.

>>4274566
I don't really follow what your point is.

>>4274569
I could still very much taste the tuna, it's not like I put an entire head of garlic in there. I only put in a small amount, just enough to notice it was there.

>>4274569
I'd disagree. I think that if you use the right garlic (I'm partial to elephant) sparingly on a strongly flavored fish (salmon comes to mind) it complements it very well. And in the case of canned tuna, I'd prefer if some of the inborn flavors were overpowered by other ones.

>>4274320
I have this very recipe in my stomach right this moment, and it was fucking delicious. Sautee the garlic and onion a little before you mix it in there. If you're on a diet, this is wonderful.

And for everybody flipping their computer desks over in rage, you can play with the spices and ingredients if you want. Sheesh.

>>4274571
There is no point, it's a post about weed, dude.

>>4274578
okay, I will admit (again) that I am a sperglord and I hate to mix of garlick and fish in any quantities - it tastes like licking a doorknob to me

>>4274586
That seems to be entirely a matter of opinion. I've seen garlic in fish in many, many different dishes.

>>4274580
> a strongly flavored fish (salmon comes to mind)
> strongly flavored
> salmon
> strongly flavored

you have never eaten fresh salmon in your life, ever
that is sad. I am truly sorry, anon.

>>4274589
do tell...

>>4274590
Apparently, you haven't. I fish every summer and have since I was a boy. If you can't taste the flavors of fresh salmon, you need to quit smoking. Apparently, you've paid way too much for shitty fish. That is sad. I am not sorry however, because you're a fucking schmuck.

>>4274589
dude, hence qualifying his statement with "to me".

>>4274597
My mom and grandma (both Venezuelan/Italian) frequently used it fried fish, I've seen it most of the time I've had fish at various restaurants, and this is the first time I've ever heard someone saying it's not a good combination.

>>4274600
I can taste the flavors
I don't think it's a strongly flavored fish is all, nothing like our friends the scombrini in any case

Horrid plating.

Gore quality photo.

>>4274606
please, more about your mom and grandma's recipes
maybe there's a trick I've been missing
> no, I don't eat fish in restaurants, normally

>>4274609
Mackerel ain't my friends. The little motherfuckers always go after my line when I'm after chinook and coho.

>>4274636
so? kill them
gut, scale, salt, add herbs, wrap in oven paper and stick on the oven grill
put a tray underneath, they drip like motherfuckers

>>4274648
Nah, I'll just keep on using 'em as bait and smoking 'em when I don't. If i ever end up with a whole mess of 'em, I might just try that. Could probably even get away with doing it over a campfire, sounds like.

>>4274662
over a campfire? sure
just be aware that they really do sweat out an incredible amount of fish-oil and might catch fire - you can use them as torch fuel if you feel like it.

this is canned tuna?

...it looks super dry

>>4274678
Yes, 74c at Walmart

>>4274615
They would usually keep things fairly simple. Just mince a clove or two of garlic for a portion of fish big enough for three or four people, add a little salt, some lemon juice, maybe some parsely, then fry it in butter. There was never so much garlic that it overpowered anything else, it was just one element out of many in the flavor.

>>4274715
thank you for coming through, anon

>>4274749
No problem

>>4274778
did the garlick stay in there? as in, did it get fried right along with the fish?

>>4274790
yes

canned tuna? and packed in oil or water?

>>4275686
Canned, and packed in water
