Food Thread

@Reach What would you substitute for the Zuc ?
Anything! I’m not a squash fan, haven’t met one I liked besides pumpkin, and I only eat that in a pie or bread.

I would probably do green beans personally, or if I was looking for presentation I might do asparagus, for something a little different.
 
@Reach
Fried tofu is pretty easy, with a little foresight. You have to press out the moisture for a while before cooking for good texture. Then just cube it up, shake in some cornstarch and fry
 
Well that looks good! But what’s a Sunchoke?
Sunchokes are a tubular-shaped, thin-skinned root vegetable of the sunflower plant family that's in season from late fall through early spring. Often mistakenly referred to as Jerusalem artichokes, sunchokes have no origins in Jerusalem, and they really don't taste like artichokes.

They look a lot like a knobby ginger root.

They taste like a rich, nutty potato.

Never heard of them either but sounds interesting

That’s interesting. It does look a lot like ginger root. I will have to look them up, maybe try one some time. Thank you for the explanation!

Well that looks good! I’ve never thought about lamb jerky, I’ll have to try it some time. Of course I should probably start with lamb chops, I’ve never actually cooked lamb of any sort.

For a 1st time try at lamb, I might suggest looking for some lamb sirloin steaks.
Don't over cook.

I will keep that in mind. Any particular recipes you recommend, or just grill them like beef steaks?
I like it pretty pink.
