Reviewing:

Sesame beef tacos, with quick pickled veggies and chili sour cream

1 serving prepared

Here's what you get:

Radish

Scallion

Persian cucumber

Cilantro

Red cabbage

Korean chili flakes

Garlic powder

White wine vinegar

Sour cream

Sesame oil

Substituting:

5 oz Ground Bison

Baby level hot sriracha

1/4 cup Rice

Tamari sauce

Lime juice

Not used:

Soy sauce

Actual hot sriracha

Flour tortilla

Ground Beef

The pickles:

Pickled veggies were very quick prep I would suggest adding the vinegar and sugar together and stirring them until the sugar dissolves. Once that was done I added the mixture to the sliced veggies and then did the salt/pepper. This prevents having granulated sugar dropping to the bottom of the bowl.

The protein:

I substituted the ground beef for bison in this recipe. Using 5 oz total. The cook on this was relatively easy. I was warned that the Sriracha sent in the pack was the much hotter version so I substituted it. Because I have a larger bottle of baby spicy sriracha I was able to add that to taste.

The rice:

Since I can't have the flour tortillas I substituted for cilantro lime rice. This was the first thing I prepared and it was set to the side while I worked on the other portions of the meal. My ratio was 1/4 cup rice and 3/4 cup water, lime and cilantro to taste.

The sauce:

The sauce was very easy. You just take the sour cream, put some chili flakes in, add Salt and Pepper and you're done.

Extras:

To omit gluten product I had to switch out some components. The rice and tamari sauce were good substitutes for these items and I'm sure it didn't change the taste too much.

The plate:

Today I learned, I really like sriracha! I ended up using a good amount on this dish actually. The pickles were super good so all of those went into the bowl.

The portion I made was rather large so there are leftovers. This is definitely one I would try again, maybe omitting the rice because the veggie meat mix along with the Pickled veggies were more than enough for one meal.

Cooking by the Book 1: Orc Bacon

The Book: Dungeons & Dragons Heroes Feast the official D&D cookbook Making: Orc Bacon (modified) 2 servings prepared Here's what I have: 7 slices of thick-cut bacon 3 tablespoons light brown sugar 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon orange Ginger Spice 1 oz Veggie broth Preparation: The convection oven was preheated to 375 degrees on convection setting. The bacon was placed on a wrap set into a baking tray and placed into the oven for 8 minutes. While the bacon was cooking for the first 8 minutes I added the spices and veggie broth to a small pan and began to eat them up until I got a syrupy liquid. Once the eight minutes were up I brushed one side with the sauce and placed back into the oven for three minutes. This process was repeated by flipping and brushing the other side of the bacon before returning to the oven. Total cook time was 25 minutes The plate! ...

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter. I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature. The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot. The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter. Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris
