/ck/ - Food & Cooking

sage, hidden, reported, cyanide capsule taken

The theme of Round 9 is... Vegetarian.

You must create a palatable vegetarian dinner entree with enough appeal to sway even the most die-hard carnivore. The following contestants scored in the bottom three in the Cupcake round, meaning that your penalty in this round is to cook a *vegan* dish (no animal by-products).

Only four contestants move onto the final round of this year's Challenge. Pyewacket's win in the Time Travel round secures his place in the Final Four and everyone's cumulative scores are very close. So please take your time, photograph and explain your entry well, and good luck!

The winner of Round 8 was SirSpice !!g3QeMZd5CQB, who submitted Baked Alascakes and Krembo Cupcakes.

The remaining contestants are:

ELIMINATED: frgsp

frgsp has been a strong contender since Round One with one of the highest cumulative scores in the game. We understand that real life comes before /ck/ and appreciate all of the effort you've put into the previous rounds. :)

We also have an interview with stfuboosie !!/MEZC9Vdvfg (the winner of Season One) up on the Challenge blog, for any of you interested.

Congrats SirSpice! Those were some good looking cupcakes!

Hmmmm, vegetarian dishes this round.....this should be great, because there's so many things you can do with veggies.

Thanks, the way you've been slamming through the rounds, someone needs to give you a run for your money.

I've been watching this since the beginning. I look forward to seeing these threads. Keep up the good work gentlemen, and I'll keep saving verticals.

Im so happy I don't have to be a veganfag this week.

I started planning a veg dish a few rounds ago. I'll go shopping and get cooking after tomorrow's exam.

so, same muffin base and same meringue but one is Alaskan w/ ice cream and other is enrobed?

also how did the meringue not melt when u enrobed it?

and did u have to temper the chocolate b4 u enrobed?

>>4503953
>>so, same muffin base and same meringue but one is Alaskan w/ ice cream and other is enrobed?
Yes. Although you could dip the ice cream filled ones in chocolate as well.

>>also how did the meringue not melt when u enrobed it?
Meringue doesn't melt. It's made of egg whites, so it hardens when heat is applied. In this case, the heat comes from drizzling melted sugar into it while whipping. If it isn't "cooked", the trapped air escapes and it turns back into egg whites.

>>and did u have to temper the chocolate b4 u enrobed?
I just melted it in the microwave. I put it microwave on high for 20 seconds, then took out and stirred it, and repeated until completely melted. Coating it was not an elegant process. I drizzled the chocolate over it while turning the cupcake in my other hand, coating my entire hand in the process. There is probably a cleaner way to do this, but I was in a hurry.

I humbly present
Wumplord's Swiss Chard Enchiladas
or
>chard, squash, and poblano stuffed enchiladas in a tomatillo salsa topped with sonoma jack and cojita cheeses and garnished with chipotle creme

As a happy omnivore, I believe that not every meal should contain meat. However, there is a certain heartiness that meat provides to any given dish that many vegetarian focused meals lack, so when planning this, I focused in on hearty, filling vegetables with a satisfying texture. Its not about replacing meat in the dishes design, my focus was entirely on making my chosen veggies delicious. Trying to replace meat with substitutes never really works (tofu, textured protein, seitan etc etc) but letting the veggies stand on their own and working with their own flavors can lead to terrific results.

I didn't make verticals this week, but I will describe all of the steps I took in making this. This one is probably the easiest to make of all of my entries thus far, but is elegant and delicious. It is as easily made in bulk for a party or potluck, or as a single serving meal. Furthermore, you could substitute pretty much anything in this recipe for ingredients of your choice (ie spinach for chard, red salsa for green salsa, asparagus for squash...)

>>4506509
Dice an onion and mince garlic. Sweat in your preferred saute oil (I use 70% grapeseed 30% olive) in a large saucepan or stockpot. Trim thick stalk parts off chard and wash. Add to onions and add a half cup of water or so, along with some olive oil and salt. Steam on medium heat with the lid on until thoroughly cooked down, stirring often. Drain excess liquid off and set aside.

On an open flame, char a poblano and jalapeno chile. The skin should be at least 85% black. Let cool, peel, and remove seeds. Dice half of each and add to the chard/ onion mixture. Set aside the other halves.

On a barbecue, grill halved zuchinni and crookneck squash (coated in olive oil, salt and pepper). Slice halves longways and cut into small wedges, less than 1/4" thick. Combine with chard/onion/chile mix.

>>4506524
>I guess I should turn on my tripcode...

>Tomatillo salsa
Husk and clean tomatillos. Grill on barbecue until the skin splits and they are soft. Place a few cloves of garlic in tinfoil with some olive oil and place on the barbecue with tomatillos and cook until golden brown and soft. Combine tomatillos, remaining chiles, garlic, the juice of half a lime, and a generous pinch of salt in a blender, then blend until smooth. Adjust heat, acidity, and saltiness to taste.

>Chipotle creme
Combine 1 small can of chipotle in adobo with 8 oz sour cream and a splash of heavy cream in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into squeeze bottle.

>>4506509
>>4506524
Would you please provide a cross section shot? Since we don't get any pictures of the process I would like to see the filling. Also, are those corn or flour tortillas? thank you, looks tasty.

>>4506548
never mind, I can see the filling now. thanks

>>4506535
Preheat oven to 400F
Pour a layer of salsa in a oven proof dish. Fill tortillas with an appropriate amount of filling (around a half cup) and roll as tightly as possible. Put in dish, then cover with a bit more salsa. Cover in shredded jack and crumbled cojita. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cheese starts to brown. Drizzle with the chipotle creme (which is also a great addition to eggs and breakfast burritos by the way) and garnish with cilantro (coriander). Serve immediately.

Pair with a strong, full bodied beer such as an IPA or a porter. I used Port Brewings Shark Attack IPA, a bitter, yet balanced IPA. Deschutes' Black Butte porter also comes to mind as a great pairing for this dish.

>unfortunately, I couldnt get a very good image of the insides. But it looked pretty much as youd expect. Green. With squash and onions and shit.

This was fucking delicious. I had never made my own enchiladas at home before, but I will absolutely use this recipe (or a variant) again.

Hope you guys like it!

>>4506548
I have a few photos of the process, but I got lazy part way through and stopped taking them for every step. I can post some of the filling though if anyones interested.
Also, I used flour tortillas, but corn would work fine as well.

The tortillas that I got were actually a little thicker than I would have liked, but I didnt want to get the cheap, thin ones since those have a tendency to crumble. If you find your tortillas crumbling or breaking during rolling, briefly fry them in a small amount of oil (less than 30 seconds) and they should become more pliable.

>>4506557
and cue my weekly drooling over wump's dishes

>>4506557
Upon looking at my bottle of beer, I realize Shark Attack is actually a double red ale. It was still a great pairing regardless, but I feel I should recommend an IPA for it.
I would go with something fairly well rounded, like Lagunitas or Racer 5. Ninkasi's Total Domination would also be a great choice.

>>4503688
I'll try this, and I hate cupcakes, but these look good for some reason....

They better be good bro.

Aw, Wump, you beat me to a Mexican entree. But that's okay, mine's going in a different direction, Mexican-wise. Too late to change, because I've already bought ingredients. Your enchiladas look nice, though!

I'm not sure if I'm going to get around to making what I originally planned to cook, so here's a chives omelette, cherry tomatoes and a refreshing jug of longan-lime drink.

>>4507267
I added a splash of soy sauce and some white pepper to this.

i love lychee drank

but can someone explain to me why eggs are considered vegetarian? Cow fetuses are delicious too (probably) and vegetarians don't eat them.

>>4507773
Eggs rarely contain fetuses. It's more like eating a chicken's period. Which only has the potential for life if fertilized.

>>4507267
What's in that longan drink?

I find lychee juice to be too syruppy, although I've only ever had Rubicon. Rubicon Guava or Watermelon is much nicer.

>>4507867
>chicken periods
Welp. Eggs ruined.

>>4507978
Underage b&? Who doesn't know what eggs are?

>>4507978
Get over yourself.

>>4507867
Fetuses are quite common in chicken eggs and are easy to spot when you crack one into a vessel.

My bio teacher calls them the "oogies" and isnt psychologically prepared to eat dishes like your way eggs unless the oogies are picked out before cooking.

My phone ran out of battery partway through cooking, so I won't be making a vertical this round. This entry is pasta with roasted red pepper, onion, mushrooms and garlic served with rabbit. The dressing is made with olive oil and vinegar.

>>4507963
*lychee-lime drink

It's a tin of lychees diluted with water and the juice of half a lime. I love Rubicon Mango, but yeah, they do add a lot of sugar to their stuff.

>>4507773
Unfertilised human eggs are vegetarian too.

>>4508056

>>4508057
This kills the rabbit.

Fuck vegetarianism.

>>4508061
Delicious guts for dipping pasta in.

>>4506647
lol'd
>>4508017
If you're talking about a small amount of grey matter in an egg yolk, that's actually a small bit of cloaca that occasionally comes off into the egg when the chicken is forming the shell around it. Fetuses require fertilization, and industrial hens are not kept with the cocks at a given facility.

Very creative dish. I share your philosophy about fake meat, the vegetables should be the main focus. I do not like the tortillas in this, flour tortillas are hard to do in enchiladas since they tend to soak up a lot of whatever liquid they are standing in and become "flabby". Corn would have held up better.

- Gnocchi with brown butter and sage
- Mushroom risotto (with fucking chicken stock)
- Eric's Staff Lasagna from The French Laundry Cookbook
- Healthy vegetable tart
- Butternut squash soup (very simple)
- Potato pizza

Anywho, I'll be posting tomorrow. I have most of the prep work done, so tomorrow will just be execution and assembly. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend, see you tomorrow!

Fuck, I can't seem to open your vertical. What is it about anyway?

Bump

Okay guys, here we go! Apparently, I share the same philosophy on vegetarianism that some other posters have shared, which is, I think veggies can be wonderfully used on their own without the need of substitutions for meats. So, that is what I tried to do.

Now, on the food. I have a massive boner for tamales, but I've never attempted to make them myself before, even though I've always wanted to. And, I often make chili verde, but of course, I usually use pork in that, as I'm an omnivore. So, I decided to come up with a good vegetarian Mexican combo platter.
So, for your consideration, I present:
The Vegetarian Combo Plate:
Vegetarian Chile Verde
Sweet Corn Tamales filled with Roasted Chiles and Cheese
Bean Tamales with Pico de Gallo and Oaxacan cheese

Accompaniments of: Chile de Arbol salsa, pico de gallo, and Shiner Farmhouse Ale.
More pics, verts and close ups coming!

>>4515938

These are really, really tasty.

Bean and Cheese Tamales vert.

And here's a vertical for the Chile de Arbol salsa, although you don't have to count that as part of the plate if you don't want to.

>>4515951
Forgot to add, this is nice and hot, if you like fiery salsa. You can increase the number of chiles in it as well, if you want it even hotter.

I'm genuinely impressed with how you gentlemen are handling this round.

pretty common dish, but the fillings are unique and sounds tempting.

can you tell me what Italian seasoning is, I'm a new fag :(

It's a blend of herbs, normally marjoram, thyme, rosemary, savory, sage, oregano and basil.
