RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I'm a person whose love to cook different types of food everyday, especially for lunch (sometimes brunch) and dinner. I wonder if anybody here can give their own favorite food (maybe recipe too) for me to cook and eat :)

[Hint: my diet are consisted of dairy product, seafood, green veggies, tomato, eggplant, mushrooms, and egg]

I love a potato stew!

I usually make a spaghetti pot of it at a time and freeze in single serve containers so take the amounts in that context.

  • 2-4 large russet potatoes skinned and cubed
  • 2 large yellow onions diced
  • ~1.5 cup chopped carrots
  • ~1.5 cup chopped celery
  • a quart of vegetable broth or 2 bouillon (if I have none on hand I increase spices and onion)
  • If I have a parmesan rind on hand I like to throw that in.

After adding everything fill the pot with water until you’ve at least doubled the volume (I like to do a bit more but I love broth, some people don’t). Bring to a boil then simmer on the hotter end of the simmer spectrum until the potatoes are the right consistency (~20min).

Spices I usually do to taste but something like:

  • 1.5 tsp dried parsley
  • 2-3 dried bay leaves (very important imo)
  • 1.5 tsp dried basil
  • 2 tsp black pepper (fresh)
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 2/3 tsp turmeric

Serve with a dinner role ideally, maybe a salad.

If I’m sick I also add some paprika or cayenne to clear my sinuses!

I find this dish very forgiving and routinely delicious.
