Potato and Poblano Corn Chowder

By -


OK, so this soup is really good. I give this an 8, and it is easily the best corn chowder I have had. It had heat, but it didn’t burn your mouth (it was the upper limits of what I can tolerate though, so next time I will probably remove the ribbing and the seeds). The fresh corn is a must here! We had to double the batch to feed our family. The recipe came from Fine Cooking Magazine.

Potato and Poblano Corn Chowder

By Ivy Manning August/September 2018 Issue
  • 1-1/2 oz. (3 Tbs.) unsalted butter I did a bit less than this
  • 1 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1 poblano, seeded and coarsely chopped (about 1/2 cup) I would take out all the seeds and ribbing
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 1/3 cup) I doubled or tripled this
  • 1 medium rib celery, thinly sliced (about 1/3 cup) I doubled this
  • 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme I used dry and decreased this by 50%
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper I used 2 tsp. regular salt in a double batch
  • 2 Tbs. all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbs. tomato paste
  • 2 cups lower-salt vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1-1/2 cups whole milk I doubled the recipe and did 2 cups of half and half and 1 cup of milk
  • 1 medium red potato (about 8 oz.), cut into 1/2-inch chunks I increased this
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 3 cobs)
  • 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice I cut this in half
  • Cayenne, to taste I forgot this

You sweat the vegetables, minus the potatoes and corn. Then, you add the seasonings and the flour, make a roux, and then add the chicken broth and tomato paste. Boil, add the corn and potatoes, and then when the potatoes are soft, add the milk and the lemon juice.

    So, use all butter in this. I used 4 Tbs. for a double batch. I added the potatoes after the chicken broth, and then after 10 minutes of boiling I added the corn. Then, about 10 minutes later, I added the dairy products and the lemon juice.

      Also, let the flour cook as you stir it around for at least 1 minute.

    So, use ALL the butter it calls for or make up for it with oil. This needs half and half or cream.

Sourdough, version 4, aka version Mel

By -
Image
This is my personal favorite.—it is a combination of the sourdough recipe from Nancy Beykirch with the Tartine method. It is sour but the texture is also great. Leaven: 1/2 cup sourdough starter 1/2 cup water 2/3 cups bread flour Combine ingredients and let sit 12 hours. Then, combine the leaven (mine was about 290 grams) 860 grams white flour 100 grams wheat flour 700 grams water 22 grams salt You mix this then let it sit for 40 minutes. Then, you put it in a big bowl and let it rise for 5 hours. For the first 2-3 hours, turn in every 30 minutes where you pull the dough to the opposite side, rotate the bowl by 4ths, do the same thing. Then, you put it on a floured surface. This dough is sticky, so you might need a good deal of flour. divide and shape into 2 loaves, then let sit 30 minutes. Then, kind of reshape them and put them in a pot. Let them rise for 3 hours. Then, score them. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes, then lid off the dutch oven for the final 20 minutes.

Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread

  So, my Grandma Goodsell is the one who instilled a love of bread making in me. I owe a lot to her guidance when I was a kid. We finally tracked down her recipe after we thought it was lost all those years ago, and I made it yesterday. I give it a 9, but that’s probably a lot of nostalgia. Either way, it is a very, very solid bread recipe. I put my changes below in bold. Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread Mix 2 ½ T yeast and 1 T sugar in 1 C water, and let set for 10 minutes. I used instant yeast, so I decreased this to 5 tsp. of yeast 3 C milk 2 C water ½ C honey ½ C shortening 2 T salt 2 T molasses 5 ½ C whole wheat flour 7 ½ C white flour I also added 2 heaping spoonfuls of wheat gluten Combine milk, honey, shortening, salt, and molasses in a saucepan and heat until shortening melts. Stir in 2 Cups cold water and combine with yeast mixture. Pour mixture into mixing bowl and add flours one cup at a time alternating between white and wheat (1 C white, 1 C wheat, 1 C white, ...

Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs

Oh, how I love me a pressure cooker that cuts down on dishes and produces the exact same results. This is good because it's pasta and meatballs. I would have to really be coerced to make it any other way again because this is just SO easy. My one complaint is that it was very rich in tomato flavor because it calls for twice as much sauce as when I make it the traditional way. I think I might increase the water and use less sauce next time. Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey I just did my own meatballs already premade 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, finely minced) I just did my own meatballs already premade Salt and pepper 16 ounces uncooked spaghetti noodles (see note) I think our spaghetti is almost 18 oz 1 teaspoon dried basil I used fresh 40 ounces jarred spaghetti/marinara sauce (see note) I did 2 Trader Joe's vodka sauces that are 25 oz. each 3 1/2 cups water Freshly grated Parmesan and ...
