  • braising green veg (0 / 0)

    I swear to god, I never knew you could make a Brussel sprout taste good until I tried braised sprouts. It was a goddamn revelation, I tell you!

    I'm on the lookout for a good cast iron skillet myself. I've wanted one forever.

    BTW, have the chicks arrived in the mail?

      The best and cheapest place for cast iron stuff over here. Try Ranger or some variant of those places.

      Of course they're easy to order from Amazon or your favorite online vendor.

      You'll also find them at kitchen stores, hardware stores, and in camping supplies around here.

      The classic way is to haunt garage sales, or to find  a relative who has an unused one. It's okay if they look skanky or rusty - you just have to scrub and reseason.

      No chicks yet, don't know when. Very frustrating.

      Mollie's Brussels sprout recipe:

      • cut sprouts in half lengthwise
      • boil for 3 minutes
      • put in a skillet over medium heat with olive oil, a couple of cloves of minced garlic, salt, and sliced nuts. I am using almonds.
      • cook until the bottoms are browned.

      mmmm.
