Do what normal people do, substitute random shit or leave it out. If it doesn't work leave a comment on the recipe to let the author know.

Wow you are too retarded to look up recipes

>>15254332
you are looking for boomer food. Aka the joy of cooking.

>>15254332
>or fennel
What the fuck do you have against fennel
What kind of shop doesn't have fennel?

>>15254332
Fiiiiiiiltered

>>15254332
You use a recipe as a general guide when cooking, not the fucking bible. I bet you sit through entire youtube advertisements too

>>15254402
fennel isn't common in american cooking.

>>15254461
Perhaps in Cletus and Billy Bob regions like the midwest and south it's not, but in real America it's quite common.

>>15254332
pretty much any european dish should suffice.

>using recipes
This is why women should be banned from the kitchen until they achieve basic numeracy and chemistry education

I'm in the south and I've never seen fennel period. No grocery store near me has it that I'm aware of. Same with lentils.

>falling for the recipe meme
lmao
They're almost all way too complicated for someone who just wants a decent meal. Just focus on how to cook single things well (pan-fried meat, roasting veg, etc.) and basic techniques, then mix and match. When you get comfortable with dead-simple cooking like that, you can look at recipes just for new ideas.

What's the point of supermarkets if they don't have everything you can dream of? Might as well just have little corner stores.

Try stir fries.

Holy fuck this is amazing

Just add some rice and meet to any of these for a good meal.

>>15257479
thank you

>>15254332
This is why chef john is great. Most of his recipes are straight forward and things that are easily available or you already have.

>>15257479
That's pretty neato. Relatively accurate too. If they ever did a sticky that should be included.

>>15258821
I wish /ck/ had a sticky really, /g/'s wiki is god tier

I tenderize with baking soda, not a fork. What a dumb Nigger.

>>15254332
Huh?

>>15254332
Unironically this is why Adam Ragusea is my favorite food tuber, straight forward and realistic for home cooks

>>15255139
In New Jersey, my grocery store has fennel only about half the time. To make matters worse, the self-service checkout doesn't have the right numeric code for it in the menu, and I have to summon assistance.

>>15255364
This is good but not great
Anyone who wants to use this please watch chinese cooking demystified’s stir fry videos for higher level knowledge.
Also don’t bother tenderizing your meat mechanically, just marinate it in a little soy sauce, shaoxing wine/sherry and baking soda for like 15 minutes, and then very quickly deep fry it before taking it out and finishing the cooking later with the rest of the stir fry. This is called velveting
Oh and just buy some shaoxing cooking wine and thank me later

>>15255139
>that I'm aware of
Key phrase here, because you only shop for ground beef and cabbages.
I guarantee you that your grocery store carries lentils. Fennel may only be seasonally.
