I cook and experiment from time to time, generally my preferance is "easy to make" but with "very strong flavour". I've always HATED the idea of being able to eat something and not notice yeu were eating it. Like rice. Yeu can be eating rice for 10 minutes straight while talking at the table, and eat the whole thing and not even notice yeu did it. I prefer food yeu stick in yeur mouth and it slaps yeu with the frying pan and goes BAM.
Anyways here's a few recipies I've come up with... note that I don't normally measure anything when cooking like this though, so if I list any measurements at all, they're estimates at best. Generally I just grab the list of ingredients and add them with whot looks like the right amount.
The exact quote I've used once to describe my cooking...
ShadowKatsuni: They're not even really recipies...
ShadowKatsuni: Recipies have a thought out manner to them and pre-decided idea of whot it'll be at the end, and measured amounts and stuff
ShadowKatsuni: It's more like edible frankenstein monsters
SHRIMP SAUCE
1 cup of BBQ sauce (steak / rib works best)
3-4 tbsp of soya sauce
1/4 cup yellow mustard (I've since replaced this with sweet/hot mustard)
1 tbsp worcheshire sauce
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 small cloves of diced or grated garlic
1 full tbsp of oregano
2 tsp chili powder
1 tbsp hot sauce
1 tbsp dried cayanne peppers
1 tsp black pepper
Next off hellballs, because meatballs are SPICEH! <3
Materials:
High quality sausage (italian or german preferred) - Can be replaced with hamburger
Monterey Jack Jalapino cheese (mozza works as a backup if yeu don't have)
Jalepino peppers
Eggs
Flour
Salsa (hot preferred)
Hot sauce
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (rapeseed oil works too, but I prefer the olive)
Spices: Oregano, Marjoram, Thyme, Sweet Basil, Cayenne, Chili, etc.
Step 1: Take a small piece of cheese, roll it into a ball around a slice of jalepino pepper, roughly about 1/2 inch diameter.
Step 2: Grab some of the sausage meat, wrap it around the cheese ball to make a normal sized meatball, but with a core of cheese in the center. Boil to cook in water.
Step 3: Add the salsa, spices, etc to a pot and heat it, add meatballs and let them baste in it for a few hours to soak in the spicy flavour. 1 hour is good enough if they'll be served immediately after, if yeu'll serve them tomorrow, 4 hours is generally required to lock in the flavour that long.
Step 4: Take meatballs out, dry them off, cut a relatively thin layer of cheese and wrap meatball in cheese.
Step 5: Mix eggs in a bowl, dip the meat-cheeseball into it, then dump the ball into a bowl of flour/cayenne mixture to coat it with flour so it sticks but the cayenne so it's more spicy and flavourful. After this, repeat so yeu have a second layer of egg, followed by a second layer of flour/cayenne.
Step 6: Put the oil into a deep pot, and deep fry the meatballs individually in extra virgin olive oil <3
PIZZA CAKE
Similar to a pizza pie, in the way a pie is to a cake!
See, pizza has toppings. Cake, however, has fillings >=3
Unlike normal, yeu make TRIPLE the dough yeu normally would for a pizza :O
This is for a good reason.
Lay out the first normal pizza doughness as usual, then follow by placing a large amount of shredded cheese over it, and a second layer of pizza dough, and squeeze the edges togeather to make sure that the layers are firmly held in place.
Next off, place this into a 9inch cake pan, preferably a tall one. Use the remaining dough to make sort of a pie like shell around the cake pan, so that it's a very tall one. Press edges togeather so the dough is all one piece.
Layer in fillings like meat, cheese, etc, making it nice a full up to the top.
Put on a final layer of dough on the top similar to a pie shell, and then paint the exposed portions of dough with extra virgin olive oil <3
Note that any layer of cheese yeu use, mix in oregano with the cheese, it melts into it to mix togeather perfectly.
The cooking takes alot longer than a normal pizza, I suggest a lower temperature as well.
STEAK
Cut a steak into cube sized pieces. The thicker the steak, the bigger the pieces can be.
In the top of each cube, poke a sharp knife through each one, making an incision through it without reaching the bottom or sides. Into the incision of each cube, push inside a whole clove of garlic.
Next, mix togeather soya sauce (I prefer this mushroom soy stuffs I can get here <3 ), a small amount of worcheshire sauce (about 1/4 of the soya amount used), some hot sauce, oregano, and a large amount of montreal style steak spice. Mix these togeather into an even mixture, and make sure it's deep enough to cover the steak cubes in.
Put into slow cooker and cook all day to make sure the flavour sinks in all the way <3
Eat with chopsticks because I <3 chopsticks and it's as good an excuse as any to use them XD
PASTA SAUCE <3
Get several fresh tomatoes, and dice them up to use as the basis, add some ripped iceburg lettuice, this garlic chili stuffs I found I love, and use that as the base of the sauce
Next off, get some grape tomatoes and DON'T cut them up, dice up an onion, and half a garlic, then fry those in hot sauce so it sears into them, with lots of olive oil, mix in some oregano, marjoram, thyme, sweet basil and some montreal steak spices
Get some portobello mushrooms and BBQ them, oddly they taste like steak almost exactly if yeu do that, then dice them up afterwards, BBQ some hot ittalian sausage or a bratwurst if available too, a few of them, then dice those up after, throw the mushyrooms in with the frying stuffies, then puts the sausace in with the base sauce
Next off, add another layer of olive oil while frying it, and another layer of hot sauce, make sure everything's getting coated evenly, and in a seperate pot take the base sauce
Then takes some meat balls and fill a frying pan with water, then add alot of hot sauce and diced garlic to the water, so it turns red, then baste some meatballs in it so the flavour soaks in and just leave them like that until yeu're done with the rest
Then basically yeu'd just cooks everything until it's ready and dump it all togeather into the sauce, then take a block of montery jack cheese, and cut that up into partial chunks and add that into the sauce too, and stir it until it melts and it'll cause the stuffs to all stick togeather really well
Then just cook pasta as normal and yeu haves a good sauce =3
