Babe come over, we’re frying garlic
Onions, chestnuts, chorizo and black garlic
Oblig. link to that article on how every cookbook lies about how long it takes to brown onions

I want to call this dish “one garlic, three ways” but the ways all get combined at the end, so, alas.

Apropos of nothing, Jen’s parents (adult ESL speakers) were totally convinced for decades that “garlic” was “ga-leek” (i.e. ga- was a prefix, since they’re obviously leek-related). I find this delightful.

Not-rice ingredients combined, Cajun spices added
@steve wait a sec what's going on with chorizo and cajun spices? andouille substitute??
@regehr this is very much a “clean out the fridge because we’re going to Japan in a week” meal
@steve the cajuns and spaniards grudgingly accept this as valid
@regehr doubtful, but they aren’t gonna stop me
@steve @regehr internet randos who can't accept the basic tenet that you always cook with the ingredients you have at hand, not the ones you wish you had, are dead to me anyway
@rygorous @steve @regehr i make it a point to invent and share good recipes made from most common affordable foodstuffs because i have lost the oneupmanship game of precious ingredients a long time ago
@lritter @rygorous @steve it's one of life's perfect ironies that almost all of the human race's great food is either straight-up poor people food or else pretty straightforwardly adapted from that
