How was it?

Re: Jambalaya II, director's cut

I made this recipe last evening.. warning - large recipe. The kids made a valiant effort but alas were slain by the volume.

Sides: simple garden salad with oil/vinegar/basil/oregano/salt n pepa dressing

Kid rating: "Good, Dad"; "Slaps!"; "It slays."

Mum rating: "You can add this to the rotation".
My rating: 85/100; next time I will find and add real okra.

This is a redo of this recipe:

Jambalaya

I wound up making that jambalaya last week too. Substituted the Andouille sausage with chorizo. It was really good. Damn, an expensive meal to make though - chicken, sausage, and shrimp in one dish.

You can get okra at a few places, including Superstore and No Frills.

Looks very good! If you can't find okra at Superstore, try an Indian or Caribbean Grocery. Dinos on Isabel is a good bet.

This thread I think is pretty new.

Thanks.. its a giant recipe, and yields leftovers, and so carries me through two or three days, and one more for the spouse, so the cost benefit evens up a little.

Good tip on okra.

My favourite Thai Yellow Curry. Didn’t have enough time to make naan bread, so it’s Jasmin rice tonight. Doesn’t look pretty, but it’s a crowd pleaser.

Haha, I had thought I bought a bagged salad. Turns out I didn't and had no time to whip up a substitute lol.

As for the sandwich it's breaded air fried shrimp with the same garlic lime sauce, some cheese and tomato.

Probably because in nature such a thing does not exist ...

How hard is it to make your own pizza crusts?

How hard is it to make your own pizza crusts?

Not difficult at all - a bit easier if you have a stand mixer. I use an app called "PizzApp" to determine the formula required based on the number and size of dough balls you need. These are 16" pies - I used 600g dough balls. The pies are cooked in a regular old kitchen oven at 550F. Their placed on "screens" rather than pans - You can buy the screens at Great Canadian Wholesale. I'd be happy to provide detailed instructions if you'd like to give it a try. Dough is also available at Italian delis such as Calabria Market, Delucas, DeNardi etc.
