I just made a very similar stovetop version. Large chunks of pork shoulder, onion, orange, garlic, bay leaf, oregano, and a dollop of sweetened condensed milk. Simmer in water for about 90 minutes in a Dutch oven till water cooks off, remove bay leaf, and put into a screaming hot oven to fry in the remaining fat. Turns out amazing every time.HawkeyePierce wrote: Sat Mar 21, 2020 2:46 pm Pressure cooker pork shoulder. Rub the meat with honey, garlic, calabrian peppers, paprika and red pepper flakes. Put in a pressure cooker with a cup of broth plus a generous amount of chopped onions and sliced oranges. Cook under pressure for however long is necessary. Once done, shred with forks. Pan-fry until crispy before serving.

Pancetta being one of them, apparently.
So I made SPAM spaghetti carbonara.

Sometimes we take turns making fun , practical items for each other and sometimes , like today, we combined efforts and made a delicious and healthy chili. Of course, I had to cut the onions! The result, a lot of yummy chili for the next few days.

Flour is shelf-stable, so you could try ordering online. However, that might turn into an "interesting" experiment on how well or poorly the online vendor packages items for shipment.noraz123 wrote: Sun Mar 22, 2020 10:29 am Yesterday I made no knead bread. Would likely make again soon, but both the stores and I are low on flour.![]()
Oh I love lentils!Eliyahu wrote: Sun Mar 22, 2020 5:27 pm Lentils Monastery Style. This recipe is loved by one and all: https://food52.com/recipes/35254-france ... tery-style
Use regular green colored lentils, not orange ones.
You can and should skip the sherry, as it will overshadow the delicate flavors. Kids and grandmas alike love this comforting one-dish meal.
