One of my favorite things to do is to create a meal with what i have on hand. This vegan Jamaican jerk rice bowl was phenomenal …
Name one thing that you are committing to getting out of your pantry this week.
I am committed to getting canned Cannelli beans out of my pantry this week.
I have a specific request for you that I think you could manage. I have a creamy chicken and dumplings recipe that I have worked on and broken down to its most basic elements, so it can be explained in brief to someone who knows what they're doing. I recently had the idea to use a multicultural approach to take out the chicken from it, while keeping with the spirit of what I wanna do. The recipe is fairly simple:
Chicken broth, flavored with whatever herbs and vegetables you like, thickened with a roux to make a veloute sauce.
Chicken meat, easily derived from the carcass of the same chicken used to make the broth
Dumplings are essentially a high-gluten biscuit dough cooked in the roux-thickened broth, which means they must be rolled flat so that heat and moisture can penetrate the dough fully. If you do not make them thin enough, they will be filled with uncooked, dry dough. If you make them too thin, they turn into snot globules.
It must be flavored/scented with black pepper as the primary spice, which means dry-spicing it at the end.
I am a meat eater out of convenience, to be honest. I don't love meat. I think meat is a kind of boring vehicle for flavor, and that even if I take the moral element away, I prefer well-cooked vegetables and fruits over any meat. However, I have comfort foods, and this is one of them. I've been looking more at Indian food lately, and how that food culture will use flavorful veg and spices as the basis of a sauce, and still put more of the same in that sauce afterward. I'd like to find a way to reimagine southern style chicken and dumplings without using a chicken. If I can pull the butter and milk out, that's cool too. I usually have carrot, bell pepper, that kind of thing, because it's kind of a pot pie. If I can puree to make a sauce that serves the same purpose though, and I can make biscuits over that puree, then I still have a pot pie.
Ultimately, the dominant flavor of this dish is black pepper and bread anyway. By the time you're done making it, chicken is an afterthought, cause you just need something that sticks to your ribs, so to speak. I think a big problem for people like me, from the southern US, is that we just never learned how.
Kinda have to ask. Is aspargus and wild rice 'cheap' food in the US? Because it certainly isn't here. Asparagus is a local food here but it's expensive af.
what are the yellow chucks on the plate. Steamed potatoes? Yucca? Plaintain?????

Hi Andrew ooooohh almost to that 300k subs lol! That looks amazing and your'e right pantry cleaning time it is! So simple and yet so filling and delicious looking and smelling I imagine. Going to have to try it soon! TY!!
I just wanna express my gratitude to (👉DR ALAHO ADEBAYO OLU👈) Search him on YouTube for curing my HSV 1&2. God will bless you.☘️
I love the videos, and the fact that i can relate to poc on youtube. If I can please just leave a comment on the music editing. It kinda sounded like I was waiting for a prank video that never came. I mean it totally critically and not offensively, maybe some lofi? Or guitar instrumentals? …anyways I love your recipes and the style of your content, huge fan!!❤❤

Fire dish as always. The music kinda makes me feel like I'm supposed to think it's a bad/joke recipe though this time.
Budget meal? Asparagus is the most expensive vegetable, at least here in Europe
would love more pantry budget meals!
Sometimes I make __ what the hell. It’s whatever is on hand and sometimes it is magic. I do try to check the best by dates- um , mostly.
The ancestors are rolling in their graves. 😂 I've never seen rice and peas made this way. I can't wait to try this recipe. Looks delicious. 😊 Thanks as always.
Chickpeas (I have 3 cans cans) and taco shells
Great video, I'm gonna make this!😋
Just discovered and subscribed to your channel. Love your style of how you first make the recipe then share your story. Excited to start making all of your recipes!
Love the whimsical background music. 😅
I need to get a long held box of risotto out of my pantry.
Looks delicious. How did you season your wild rice? Mine is always bland.
