Back in my carb eating days, I would definitely make bread from scratch if I had a bag of flour and some salt. If I was given a bag of wheat, I doubt I would buy a grain mill; I would learn to live without bread.
I made pasta once; too much effort for the result.
I would definitely make yoghurt, presuming I could source some starter, and labneh. I would probably make other cheeses if none were available to buy, but there is no individual cheese I'd miss enough that a different variety would not be a substitute.
What favourite food that you buy now would you make in your kitchen if that was the only way to have it?
👋I recently had just that situation. I love Dirty Rice which has been deleted from my favorite fried chicken outlet menu. I have a cook book from Louisiana that has a recipe for it. By the ingredients listed in the recipe, I think it will be even better than the take out fare. Yum! I can’t wait!😋
That sounds nice, indeed. Making it yourself it will almost certainly be healthier, because you get to choose the oil, rather than just use the cheapest one.
Will you include chicken liver? it's very cheap and super nutritious.
I might try making it with cauliflower rice,
Liver, to me,is the main flavorful ingredient in it. Never tried cauliflower rice. Does it have similar consistency of plain rice?
Very similar, though you would never mistake it. I tried cauliflower risotto, disaster. It just doesn't transform into almost a creamy sauce the way rice does.
But I think something that relies on rice keeping it's grains separate would work better.
Thank you, Subtle. I think I’ll keep the traditional use of rice in the mix. 👍🏼😁
