Refried beans with parmesan cheese and bacon bits…

Been a while since I’ve actively contributed.
 
 

 
It was around lunch time and I had chickpea flour to use. Turned out pretty good!
 
I preheated the oven to 500F. I sautéed half a cup of chopped yellow onion until soft and cooked a heaping dinner spoon of minced garlic with it. I then combined 1 1/4 cups chickpea flour, 1 1/2 cups water, 1 tbs nutritional yeast, about 2/3 tbs italian seasoning, about 1/4 tsp of rosemary and tarragon each, copious amounts of freshly ground black pepper, some salt and 1 tbs oil to a bowl, mixed them together and added the onion and garlic to the mixture.  
I greased eight out of twelve compartments of my muffin tin and evenly divided the batter. I was worried about how thin it was, but it turned out to be just fine.  
Baked this for 12 minutes with the door closed and another 10 with the door open.

Oh yeah, I’ve heard of those conditions before. Not everything tastes the same for everyone.

@Selaphiel  
He’s got the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap and it apparently messes with how other herbs and spices taste too. It’s probably that.
 
And yes, I was. But unfortunately since seitan is almost pure gluten that’s off the table now. Pun intended.

@QueenCold  
Could it be the cumin smell that he dislikes? Because my mom is often put off by Indian food because of that. Yeah, some people really despise it.
 
Also, Peanut butter! What will we do without you!?  
If I recall, you’re a huge fan of Seitan gluten dishes right?

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here. Got a brand new set of dietary restrictions, too. Since December, actually. Turns out it’s not normal for people’s bones to hurt all the time and gluten can do that to you.  
This is by far my most hated food restriction. I love wheat more than anything else I’ve had to give up and it’s in everything. I’ve been having to be very creative and cook even more ethnic food. It’s fine by me, I like spice.
 
I found out my husband isn’t a big fan of African cuisine. North, West, East, Sub-saharan, doesn’t matter. Something about the spice combinations puts him off. Shame, I love the stuff. I made doro wat with authentic teff injera last night. I used pure teff flour and made my own starter four days prior. The flavor was rich. Unfortunately, the mister wasn’t a fan of this either. So I’m using the rest of the teff flour to bake peanut butter cookies. Simple, quick and quite delicious.
 

I made birria tacos. It was a long and complicated recipe. First I made an adobo sauce of dried chiles, onion, garlic, ginger, and spices, then marinated a beef roast in it overnight, then baked it in a dutch oven for four hours, let it cool, shredded the meat, mixed the meat with some of the broth, dipped tortillas in the broth, and cooked them in an oiled skillet with a scoop of meat on top. Once the bottoms were crisp, I folded the tortillas and the tacos were finally done.
 
It wasn’t easy, but the results are delicious.

Any Australian/British here?
 
Please tell me what Vegemite and Bovril spreads actually taste
 
I want them so bad

@Scrabbleman  
The oldest known recipe of crisps.

@Selaphiel  
So basically how to make potato chips.

So the other day I was watching Psych and they mentioned cinnamon pie and I was curious what that was, and Here is a recipie I’m trying.  
Hopefully it works…

Sopaipillas, aka fried pumpkin pastries.  

@mjangelvortex  
And stir fry.
 
Preserved vegetables, soy sauce, and meat. This is among my favourite combinations.

@Selaphiel  
I bet they would taste good in a bowl of soup too.

@mjangelvortex  
More like tofu shreds, but yeah they could be substituted for wheat noodles.  
They’re good in vinegar based salads.

@Selaphiel  
They’re tofu noodles?

 
These things are amazing!

@yelling_into_the_void  
That looks delicious.

@yelling_into_the_void  
After 24 hours in the refrigerator, I’d say it turned out the same.  
Better, actually, because it didn’t boil-over in the oven.

@yelling_into_the_void  

 
Let’s see what happens if you don’t bake it.

@Selaphiel  
Wikipedia mentions a pecanless pecan pie.

@yelling_into_the_void  
That’s a sugar pie?
 
Huh… i always seem to get that dish confused with another pie. The pecan pie.

@yelling_into_the_void  
Hey, that’s not how I always made cream pies…

Here’s a recipe I tried making.
