How I Cooked 20 Pounds of Tomatoes

My new favorite thing to do: make a bunch of recipes that all feature the same ingredient to try to get better at cooking that ingredient. This time it’s tomatoes. - ANDREW

    it also makes what he does a lot more relatable and approachable! he isn’t “classically trained” with decades of experience under his belt, he just has a passion for it and is exploring that as opposed to just demonstrating. i really feel like i can do what he’s doing while i’m watching.

    For real though. I was blown away the first time I made spaghetti aglio olio. I thought to myself "it's just spaghetti in a olive oil, garlic and parsley sauce. How good can it be?" It was SO GOOD! It's amazing what you can do with so few simple ingredients. At that point I realized that there are so many fantastic dishes that I haven't made not bc I don't have the ingredients for them, but bc I didn't think of using the ingredients I do have in a different way than I usually do, and since then I've been making some of the best dishes of my life! I recently made a variation of Vichyssoise with a simple vegetable stock I've made- just chuck whatever root vegetables you have (carrots, parsnips, celery, leek, etc.) into a pot with water, some pepper corns, coriander seeds, allspice, bay leaf and parsley and boil it for a couple hours- and it was the best soup I've ever made, and it only had 8 ingredients total if you count all the vegetables I used for the stock separately...

    "Thakkali curry" is a part of my childhood memories from Kerala, India :) My mom makes killer Thakkali curry! Pro tip => Add a dash of sweet tamarind extract and a bit of jaggery/ palm sugar to take the dish up a few notches. Plus, save the curry leaves and don't add them while stewing the tomatoes, but stir them into the spluttered spices/ fried onions later. My mom also adds some ginger/ garlic to the while frying the mixture.

    hi andrew. when you heat oil with the aromatics in to add over the top of food, that's called "tempering" - thought you might want to know :) it's a really important technique in indian cooking

  • @dowfreak7

    It's also contrary to most Western techniques (and thus intuition), because it kinda leaves the oil on top, rather than have it incorporated in the "sauce" in most Western dishes. So it can easily seem like you did something wrong, if you don't keep this in mind while cooking Indian stuff.

    Knowledge and practice makes you more confident. Content like this is good because it just shows how you can cook a simple tomato in many ways. For example why order a pizza if you can make your own dough? How hard is to make pizza sauce? It's easy actually and I am sure you can find recipes for it. You can use that sauce for other dishes too. It takes time but it's easy and pizza will taste much better. You can learn how to cook with steam which is healthy and easy to learn. Cooking healthy is not hard because it takes just a bit practice and knowledge. For example if you cook your own tomato sauce then add some water and add some pasta. Pasta will cook in that sauce and you will get creamy sauce with pasta. By the way thanks for reminding me about curry. Where I live I think nobody knows about it. I already prepared stuff like sushi, chicken/shrimp soup and etc. Curry is something I didn't make yet.
