Inlander:
By that stage I had already put the garlic and the butter in the mashed potato.

Truly, tonight I ate the Mash of Kings.

thegreatbuddha:
@Inlander:Ilvoeanchovies and mashed potatoes, but I'venever thought to mix them. I will try this soon.

I haven't cooked in a while. I think the last dish I made was chicken provencal with hericot verde almondine and sweet potato fries, about a week ago.  Everything turned out good, but I don't think the provencal and the hericot verde go particularlywell together.

Recipes forthose who might like to try:

Provencal topping
- 1 pint grape tomatoes
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, 1/2ed
- 1 cup nicoise olives,pitted and halved (kalamatas work nicely aswell)
- 1/4 cup garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup capers, drained and sauteed
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1/2 cup olive oil

Mix all ingredients together until well-coated. Placeon sheetpan in 400F oven for approx 10 minutes, untilheated through. Serve over baked or grilled chicken breast.

Hericot verde almondine

- 1lb Hericot Verde (Or regulargreen beans in a pinch)
- 1lb Unslated butter, chopped into 1inpieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- juice from 1lemon
- 8oz Chardonnay
- 1 sachet (2tsp black peppercorns and 1 bay leaf tied up in cheesecloth)
- 1/2 cup crushed almonds, blanched and toasted

Blanch the hericot verde until bright green, approx 45sec to 1 min, and shock in ice bath.

Place chardonnay and sachet in a saucepan, and reduce over medium high heat until almost dry. Turn heat to low, and slowly add raw butter, whisking constantly. Once all butterhas been added, remove from heat, and remove sachet. Add cream and lemon juice, as well as the almonds.  Serve over blanched hericot verde.

Sweet Potato fries.

Slice as many sweet potatoes as needed (1/2 per person roughly) into 1/4inch thick rounds, and blanch in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, or until mostly soft.  Dry, and place on sheetpan in 350F oven for approx 7-10 minutes, or until cooked through. I like to season mine with Thyme-infused olive oil and sea salt when done.

Cooking is fun!

CarrionMan:
I was wondering if anyone knew an easy way to make around… 108 breakfast burritos in an hour. They'll contain scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes(minus some because of vegans, egg people, etc.), and some herbs and spices. Is there any way to really make this easy?


I need them for the UCLA band day next Saturday.

Boro_Bandito:
Well, your ingredients are pretty simple. The best way to do it is to get a couple friends, and assembly line it. find out how many of each you need. I think the most complicated part of your problem is time and the amount.

scramble a hell of a lot of eggs, cook a lot of bacon and potatoes, Mix them all together, and just keep spooning them onto tortillas and folding till you reach 108.

what would be in a breakfast burrito for a vegan?  Just a tortilla and potatoes?  I say just pick up some oranges or something for them.  If your doing this out of the goodness of your heart, no sense trying to please absolutely everybody.
