Chicken bake. Easy peasy.

Minced chicken
Carrots
onions- dry fry

Add 2 spoonfuls of flour and leave for 2 minutes
Add a couple of spoons of tomato puree and 300 ml of chicken stock and simmer for 15 minutes, adding fresh thyme and season accordingly. Add it to a casserole dish and leave to cool.

Make some mashed potatoes adding butter, salt and pepper and 100g of a mild hard cheese. Top the chicken with the potatoes and bake in the oven. Serve with garden peas.

For best results cook the dish next day and it will retain it's consistency better after being left in the fridge.

-In large pot add copious amounts of butter, and heat onion on med-high for like 5 min
-Add potado and clam juice and bring to boil

-Add clams, cook again for hellaaa days

Wow, I saw this thread when it first started an thought I LOVE IT, then quickly forgot.
I have been cooking like a maniac lately and cant wait to post here tomorrow, im beat and going to bed, but Im pumped.

Go to Safeway (or Vons or whatever)- and buy frozen muscles in a box. Prep = put them in a saucepan and cook for 5 minutes. They turn into amazing cure for the drunkchies. I recommend drinking the butter too. $3.

Garlichokes. (Garlic Artichokes)

If you are not familiar with artichokes, you are missing out my friend. This is the only way I have ever eaten them, although knowing a few ways to prepare. I come from a fairly large Italian family, and these are very popular amongst us.

I used to simmer them in a large pot of water, but I have been using the slow-cooker lately and they turn out just as good but faster cooking time.

Prep Time: ~30 minutes
Cooking Time: Min 3 hours, but the longer the better.

Ingredients:

All ingredient amounts are as follows: A shit ton

-Garlic Salt
-Garlic Powder
-Minced/Chopped Garlic and/or fresh garlic cloves.
-Seasoning Salt (many great varieties, I usually go with Lowrys, Janes Krazy, or Magic)
-Parsley (fresh)

-1/8 cup Olive Oil

Find the largest artichokes you can find, Im sure in Cali its not that difficult of a task, but I search these every weekend at the market and they are very hard to find in a worthwhile size on the East.

1) Trim about the top 1" off the top of the choke, also trim the tips of each individual leaf and the stem. http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:..._artichoke.jpg

2) Separate leaves with thumbs to loosen up choke a bit and create space between leaves. Stuff into leaves: Minced garlic, garlic powder, garlic salt, seasoning salt, and parsley. Put alot of ingredients it, for once you submerge into water much of it will float out. Make sure to add ingredients into the middle of the artichoke, as it will flavor the covented heart.

3) Place chokes into slow cooker or large sized pot of water, stem side down, fully submerged if possible . Pour oil over the top of chokes. Simmer on 'low' setting. Every once in a while to your liking, add a bit of oil to the top. If they are not fully submerged, then keep the top moist with a spoon or baster.

4) Eat your award winning chokes! Many people do not know how to eat this lovely veggies, heres a quick how to guide I stole and didnt cite.

How to: Start by pulling off one of the outermost petals

Pull the petal through your slightly clenched teeth to remove the soft, tender flesh at the bottom of the petal. Discard remainder (you’ll want to have an empty bowl ready in which to drop them).

Continue until all petals have been removed. You will now have arrived at one of the great culinary rewards: the Heart! If the fuzzy choke guarding the Heart hasn’t been removed, scoop it out with a spoon.

Cut the remaining tender Heart (Artichoke bottom) into bite-sized pieces, enjoy one of the tastiest of treats!
