Cooking Without Seasoning or a Pantry

Think of it as a Top Chef Quickfire Challenge. You get two ingredients of your choosing, water, a heat source, and whatever kitchen equipment you want. Nothing else. What's possible?

I just made a cornish game hen with chestnut stuffing. . .

Caramelized onions.

That's only one ingredient -- you get immunity in the elimination round, Anna. :laugh:

Carmelized onions need some kind of fat, Peter. :cool:

Yes, I always add butter. But can't a chopped onion in a warm pan sweat, become translucent, then get brown and gooey on it's own sugar w/o the lipid?

Cereal and milk?

Oooh, didn't think of that. What kind of cereal would you use?

Steamed asparagus with grated pecorino on top.

That's a heavenly match. I give you four point five stars!

Sugar and corn syrup: hard candy (true it would be better with a flavor, but I did make some a couple of weeks ago to test a new mold of a Boston Terrier and the neighbor kids were happy enough)

Going for the single ingredient, no water and a heat source - grated cheese tuilles.

Kerry, can you elaborate? Just cheese?

Nothing I love better than the bits of cheese that ooze out of cheese biscuits, that brown and crisp up. So to make tuiles, you simply grate cheese, lay it in rounds on parchment, or sprinkle in a non stick pan. Picture here.

That's the spirit. Three's a good number.

Malted Barley, Hops, and Water = Beer. This will ferment naturally and become a nice lambic in a few years.

I could really go for some artichokes with butter right about now...

I do not know if I could do this without salt in the artichoke prep- but....possible
