So was at my Italian deli I have tried to cook dried Lupini beans with no luck.. < hard bitter and I didn't die > I have heard they can be poisonous? So I see this jar of Lupini Beans --it says ready to go So I thought I'd give them another try, anyone use these things? Paul

Interesting...you have that much blue flame..outside

Cod w/ coconut cream sauce: Cod-dipped in egg coated w/ Potato flake w/ herbs- pan fried- finished in oven to 130. Coconut Cream Sauce-- sauted onion and ginger, curry leaf,coriander seed, coconut milk Peas--cooked in a brown butter sauce with brown mustard seeds as always S and P tt and a little bit of chive blossom!!

Didnt realize Happy Thanks giving!! Monday BTW

So they are fermenting? I have a recipe for fermented tomato salt.. Basically the same 500g tomato /100g salt seal and turn daily in the sun for a few days.. then dehydrate

This is what I use it for..but we put our enchiladas not burrito's

I do this for grandma.. chicken noodle..bean soup..I do a vegetable/tomato broth and buy a bag of pre-cooked frozen vegetables that she can add..to make a veggie soup I buy 1C containers to freeze in.. because she eats like a mouse cheers

The chefs Thumb,,, Good Gosh --Put that on your Christmas list http://chefsthumb.com/

Huiray Here was my source for the jar... but a friend of mine makes from local tomatoes.. that he cooks down and salts and puts it on wood..to dry ( his had basillico ) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006ORFKI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes..CatPoet I'm sure they are the same Paul

Strattu - Basically a sun-dried tomato sauce/paste on a wooden board ( cured in the sun ) with salt, basil and oil. I have it home-made and also in a jar. It seems pretty salty ( got it as a gift ) ? Was going to add to Sunday gravy--but ideas on uses would be appreciated Paul

I use the Pampered Chef Nut (onion too ) chopper!! Works great for most stuff...FOR ME http://www.amazon.com/The-Pampered-Chef-Cutting-Chopper/dp/B000GU49HY

Some good ideas--I just copied the Harrira soup recipe

I use the old can opener with the beak. . that just made a v cut into a can

Flavored salt -- we occasionally use truffle salt for asparagus!! I try to make my own when I get fresh blk truffles Cheers Doc

Carch Kinda playing with the slow dessication.. Tomato dehydro effect.. these I cooked @ 175F for about 2 hrs.. did a last minute 275F Bump The ooze on the tomatoes Known as " Old German" its an Orange with red strips Mater -- did brown and caramelize a bit. But this created a wonderful sweet flavor--all I did was add salt and pepper.. these had good acidity and sweetness from the roast.. added a bit of Wright Apple smoked bacon and Carrot tops " OLD German Tomato Soup "

Did some Nice Zucchini noodles.. which I cut..salted. seasoned with my home Italian seasoning.. got rid of most of the moisture .. cooked in a brown butter and finished w/ fresh basil add to my Sunday Gravy

Looks cool !!!

Agree to your Thoughts Ttogull Only turn off on thick skin peppers is--- its like eating Scotch Tape Thanks for the chime in..

Wonder if you can use an IR gun.. and get some flame temps. Off these gases? Pbear Just curious Paul

Would MAPP gas work better , in a food driven purpose? http://www.ehow.com/about_6655001_mapp-gas-vs_-propane-gas.html

Shel.. Oh yeah.. roast peppers all the time.. might have to resorting to that.. then stuffing them

As my garden winds down, I'm picking some delish, Marconi peppers ( Giant reds ) I love to stuff them with a meat mixture and bake them, but it just seems like the skins are in the way and just a bit tough. Early season peppers are thin skin and work well. Just been watching people post of pasta dishes with cherry tomatoes with skins on.. not a fan ( my choice, but occasionally I do them ). Salsa with skin in them are non appealing to me also. Larger tomatoes I usually peel, but I just can see peeling cherry tomatoes. What's your take and solutions? Cheers Paul

Really good sauce and very simple Hunts tomato canned sauce, nob or two of butter ( depends on can size), and a peeled onion ( I call it a onion Bobber ) cook for 45 mins-- Its a Hazan sauce recipe!!\ Doctor as you wish -- fresh herb, garlic, parm/Romano cheese, a touch of sugar , a prosciutto heel , chopped celery , carrots, zucchini Good luck
