Recipe Gremlin

I find recipes and put them here, because I am a gremlin who likes to bake and we never manage to fine the same recipe twice in this household. Most of the recipes are the ones I've found in cookbooks or online. Online ones have links, and submit recipes if you want to. This also doubles as a writing resource for anyone who wants their characters to make different things!

Submit Recipes

Do you have a recipe you like? Do you want to add to my growing hoard of recipes without making me have to type it up myself?

Then submit away!

Just mention the vague area where you're from (country, region or state) so i know where to tag it for searching purposes

every time i see those posts like ‘what food from a show did YOU always wanna try’ i go lol none? but i just remembered im a liar

i always wanted the fucking soup brock made in the pokemon anime

[chingaderita]

Hello OP, i don’t have anyway to prove this is the same recipe they make in the shows but i make this to calm my inner kid from wanting the fictional soup:

300gr bacon, beef or chicken. A meat of your choice. These go specially well. I prefer chicken tights. Diced

1 medium onion, diced.

Garlic minced (i used 2-4 pieces depending on size)

300gr carrot, cleaned, peeled and diced.

3 sticks of celery, washed and diced.

800gr potato. Washed, peeled diced in quarters.

1 head of broccoli.

8 cups of stock of your preference. I recommend using the bones of the beef or chicken, but veggies stock works too for a vegetarian or vegan version.

3 tablespoons all purpose flour.

1 cup whole milk. (Almond or rice milk work fine for a vegan option)

½ cup heavy cream. (Skip it for a vegan option)

Salt and black pepper to taste.

½ teaspoon paprika, use the spicy one to get the warmth up a notch in winter.

1 tablespoon fresh chopped coriander. Optional.

1 cup diced gouda or manchego cheese. Optional but really ties all together.

Make sure you have all your ingredients ready and at hand for this one to make sure it comes out nice and tasty!!!

In a pot put water and the bones to prepare your stock (chicken, beef, veggie) You can use premade or bouillon cubes, just make sure its 8 cups worth of broth. In a different pot boil the potatoes until soft.

In a big pot put some butter or olive oil to fry the onion, when it turns a little transparent add the garlic, move constantly.

Add the celery and diced carrots, moving constantly.

The carrot will get a little brighter in color, add the diced meat. Salt and pepper to your taste.

Meanwhile, blend the potatoes with enough stock so your blender wont have trouble blending. If you have a food processor, it’ll be easier.

Ad the remaining stock to you big pot with the veggies and meat, add the broccoli chopped in bite size pieces. Add the paprika and taste for salt and pepper. Let over a medium fire for 10 min.

Separate 3 tbsp of the stock to mix with the flour, set aside. This will be a thickening agent.

Pour the potato mix on the big pot, move to integrate and taste for salt and pepper.

Add the milk and heavy cream. Move with a laddle. Have a final taste and let over low fire for 5 min.

Serve hot and decorate with a pinch of coriander and some cubes of cheese.

ENJOY!

Notes:

I personally prefer to use chicken, love how it goes with potatoes and veggies. Also the tight is very tender and flavorful. With beef you have to be careful not to overcook it or it’ll get gummy and hard to bite, so make adjustments.

VEGAN: could also skip the meat, cheese and heavy cream for a vegan option.

I make it for my younger sister and she loves it. Instead of meat i add some diced, toasted nuts when served. Cashew, pecan and pistachios work nicely.

You’ll have to use 5 tbsp of flour to thicken up the broth a tid bit more without the heavy cream but you can still use a vegan milk.

You can totally skip the coriander, but it adds another dept of flavor.

Do try it with the cheese tho, i promise it’s GODLY. Gouda and manchego are my fave, the melt nicely and have a strong after taste, but i guess any cheese that melts could work.

Finally, if you are like me and like spicy food you can add chopped chili. Serrano and arbol chiles are my go to’s, freshly chopped sprinkled just after serving my bowl.

Hope y'all give it a try and if you have any doubts do ask!

Provecho!

this is literally the best addition i’ve ever gotten to any of my posts thank you so much

Dandelion Jelly

Ingredients:

2 cups dandelion yellows

4 cups water

4 cups sugar

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 box pectin

Equipment:

mason jars (i would have 5 or 6 jelly jars on hand, more if you're using 4oz jars)

lids+rings

a pan

Directions:

After collecting dandelions, rinse them and cut the base off leaving only the yellow with as little of green as possible.

Put the petals into a quart canning jar (you can also use a large bowl for this step). Pour four cups of boiling/hot water over the petals. Let cool then shove in the fridge for 24 hours. This will essentially make dandelion tea

The next day strain out the petals and squeeze them to get out as much liquid as possible.

Before the next step, begin to sterilize your jars

Measure out about 3 1/2 to 4 cups of the liquid and pour into a pan, mix in the lemon juice and pectin. Bring this to a boil and then add sugar. Stir constantly and bring back to a boil. Boil for another 1-2 minutes or more (you want the jelly to begin to thicken and not run easily off a spoon after the initial bit. Ours took another couple minutes)

Pour or ladle into your jars, and proceed to seal them in whatever manner you prefer

Irish Stew (Instant Pot)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 ¼ pounds lamb shoulder, cubed (If you don't like/don't have lamb, you can use beef)

1 onion, diced

2 shallots, diced (About 1/2 a yellow onion can be substituted)

2 cloves garlic, minced (1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder)

½ teaspoon white cooking wine (white vinegar can be used as a sub)

2 carrots, or more to taste, sliced into rounds

¾ pound small red potatoes, halved

½ teaspoon dried rosemary

½ teaspoon dried thyme

1 ½ cups beef broth

2 tablespoons cold water

1 tablespoon potato starch/ cornstarch

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Set Instant Pot to saute and add oil and butter, add the meat and brown on all sides (about five minutes) before removing it and setting it aside on a plate

Add the onions and shallots. Cook until translucent, then add the garlic and cook for another minute

Pour in the wine to deglaze the pot, and scrape any brown bits off the bottom. Wait 3-5 minutes, or until the wine is reduced by half, then add carrots and potatoes. Season with rosemary and thyme, stir to mix. Add the lamb on top and pour the beef broth over everything

Close and lock the lid, leave vent open for steaming. Select the Meat/Stew function and set the timer for 20 minutes

Once time is up, allow to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes. As it does this, mix the starch and water until combined

Unlock and remove the lid. Switch to the saute function. Stir in the potato starch mixture and cook until thickened (2-3 minutes) season with salt and pepper to taste

Note: You can probably modify this for stovetop cooking, just have a stew pan and lid handy. Cook the onions on a lower temperature and raise it once you add everything in, have the lid on skewed to allow for steam to escape, and check both the meat and the vegetables to see when its done

Question

What kind of recipes would you guys like me to do? Like savory ones (i have a savory pie crust I need to put up), meat dishes, noodles, desserts, breakfast foods?

I like collecting recipes and putting them here, since my family has...well there's like 40 cookbooks in this house and we never remember which recipe came out of which (Also if you guys have some recipes you want to share feel free to drop them in the inbox.)

Off-Brand Stormcloak Seasoning

2 teaspoons thyme

1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns

1 teaspoon tumeric

2 teaspoons cumin

Crush up the peppercorns (if you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can also do this with something hard and smooth like a sturdy plastic bowl and a rolling pin)

Mix all the ingredients together and and then store in a jar or plastic bag in a cool dark place

Good for vegetables, meat, fish, and savory baking

The original recipe comes from the Elder Scrolls cookbook, but literally none of the ingredients are the same and are all substitutes. Personally, I like this one better

[skiptorecipe]

Y'all are probably going to get a spice mix because I don't know how to quantify the amount of spices I put in the recipe otherwise

Also I got a mortar and pestle for christmas and I love it

[skiptorecipe]

I got a noodle maker!

Thank you browse and buy my mom happened to go to

So you'll probably get some noodle recipes in a couple days since I might make some for christmas

(Also if you have any sorts of recipes you might want me to add to this like pies or cakes or something, dont be afraid to ask)

I'm probably going to make chili today, so lets see how well I can transcribe one of the few recipes that we don't really measure for into measurements

Also I'm probably going to need more chili powder

(Bastardized) Spanish Tortilla

I say bastardized because I can barely cook pancakes much less this in a skillet

Ingredients

6 eggs

3 potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

!/2 an onion

pepper

salt

olive oil

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees farenheit

Fry the potatoes in a skillet with olive oil until they are softer and some of them may have begun to take on a transparent look

Add onion, sprinkle on some pepper

While those continue to cook (with you stirring occasionally) whisk together the eggs with a little bit more pepper and salt

Cook potatoes an onions for about...5 more minutes?

Pour potatoes into a greased round or pie pan

Pour egg mixture on top and move potatoes around so everything gets an even coating

Put pan in the oven for 25 minutes or until the egg is fully cooked

I made this yesterday, and today the entire thing is gone, which is impressive since I, you know, dont really like eggs

Ingredients

Frozen fish fillets (I did tilapia)

Egg

Flour

Fine breadcrumbs

*sigh* why am I like this I ask myself, as I make plans to slowly create recipes based on video game ones

Anyway, if you have a specific one, just drop it in my inbox I guess? I mean, minus anything with eel or something. Or sushi. It's kinda hard to get stuff for certain things

Peanut Butter Blossoms

Yes, you are getting this recipe because I'm making them

48 Hershey kisses or other chocolate of a similar size (I've seen these done with reese cups and snickers)

1/2 cup shortening

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

2 tablespoons milk

1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (vanilla flavor also works and i think its a 1:1 ratio but i'd double check)

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

a dash of salt

granulated sugar (for rolling)

Directions:

Heat oven to 375 degrees farenheit

Remove wrappers from chocolate

Beat shortening and peanut butter until well blended, add the measured sugar and beat until fluffy

Add egg, milk, and vanilla. mix thoroughly

Mix together the flour, soda, and salt (I use our flour shifter for this) and gradually beat into the peanut butter mixture

Shape the dough into 1 inch balls and roll in granulated sugar. Place these balls on an ungreased cookie sheet

Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. As soon as you get the pan out and on a solid surface like a cooling rack, start pressing the chocolates into the middle of each cookie, The cookies will crack around the edges and thats nothing to be worried about

Remove from the pan to cool

This came off the back of a hershey kisses bag, but with a few differences I make when I make them myself
