The SANE kitchen

Come and read some chef’s best recipes! Add in your own if you like.

Disclaimer / I’m not a trained chef.

Ingredients are mostly pantry staples, it’s 2024 we are all too broke for that fancy stuff. A lot of the fresh veg comes from my garden.

Also pretty basic nothing fancy, trying to make use of what we have and waste less. Also, play with the quantity this is really up to you, mine won’t be that accurate cause sometimes I cook for 2 sometimes for 4 sometimes I put things in freezer.

Starting with recipe 1 in the reply posts below

Please add your own too! 😊

C’mon guys let’s reignite this thread. I need more recipe ideas.

Tangy Lime Sauce

Make a large quantity of white sauce by combining a roux of equal quantities plain flour and butter. Cook off a bit and whisk in small amounts of cold milk at a time until you reach a nice consistency. Add in 300mls of fresh lime juice and a large amount of dried dill (it must be dried dill, fresh dill doesn’t work). Serve with rice or mashed potatoes.

We usually make spicy chicken nuggets to go with this.

Re: The SANE kitchen

Oh by the way you can freeze the lime sauce if you have too much or it can be used over several days

Re: The SANE kitchen

This is called the what we had in pantry tacos - not tacos because they aren’t Mexican recipe.

You will need
- small wraps or tortillas, soft tacos etc
- corn (we used tinned)
-cos/gem lettuce, don’t use iceberg
- cherry toms
- capers (optional, I know it’s not a staple for most)
- parmasen cheese
- spring onion
- avocado

For the dressing
- sour cream
+ anything else to mix in, we used crispy chilli oil and lemon, which turned out yum. You could use garlic, dill, anything really.

Prepare all of the ingredients as you would a salad (I finely chopped the lettuce).
We used the last of our Hass avos which would be better as they are just a bit creamier
Char the corn on the stove top in a pan. We added Mexican spice to the corn as it as charring.
Also brown the tortillas on the stove in pan as well.

Mix it all up like a salad, then divide onto wraps. Add the sour cream dressing on top.

Our sour cream dressing had a touch of lemon, crispy chilli oil, cayenne (I think?) and a touch of salt

Re: The SANE kitchen

That white sauce sounds nice! Will the lime juice curdle the sauce @Oaktree ?

Re: The SANE kitchen

Knowing me, I reckon mine will turn into lumpy sauce lol @Oaktree I don't think I'm going to attempt that one.

Re: The SANE kitchen

My sister has been making these really yummy homemade pizzas recently. I buy the ingredients, she makes them.

So it's Greek souvlaki bread for bases, then chicken, bacon, spinach, and any other leftovers in the fridge.

What do you like on your pizzas? (btw, I totally dislike pizza, so for me to day these ones are good, it means they are REALLY good) lol
