Can’t not love going to the market.

I'm glad you enjoy shopping for this !
Personally, I find the produce section the most boring part of the grocery shopping experience.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

how much all this cost you and is it more or less than what you normally pay

I think that everything you see there should be around €35, I dont remember exactly. If you buy it at the supermarket its a lot more expensive

For example you'll often find things such as 6 mango's for €2/3 on the market while you'll pay €3 for two mango's at the supermarket

Cucumbers where like 3 for €1, while theyre €1 per piece at the normal store.

I wish that I had time to go every week, besides that you save money the experience is nice too. How is that overseas?

yes can be similar here as well, but depends on luck too. sometimes supermarkets will price things super low that it's not worth buying from farmer market unless you really want to support local business.

here some of our supermarkets have a freshness guarantee too so if something is rotten or bad you can return it for a refund no questions asked within a week for example.

Aush, irani cuisine or better say a type of soup .

I tried cooking scorched rice with lavash bread but again failed, don't know what you call it but here in Iran we call it Tahdig, think I should have cooked at a higher heat.

Since a few months I regularly make a pesto of pistachio. I really like it, would advise everyone to try it.

I think I will try a pesto with ricotta and walnuts next week, never made it before, but ate it at family in Italy about two weeks ago and I really liked it, never tasted it before.

I make it with ricotta and cashews all the time. I prefer it to basil.

Nice man, what more do you add to it?

Olive oil and salt.

I made carnitas today. I have never got them to be that tender.

Tomatoes season also calls for homemade salsa.

It is reducing now

I think I will make corn tortillas tomorrow than buy them

@JCK, find some Rendang recipe, it will be the best food you ever taste
And if you dont like beef you can use pork or chicken as meat replacement too

You must try this dish, absolutely my favourite and my go to for healthy but delicious food. Gado Gado
Basically salad with some fried tofu, fried tempe, boiled potato, diced cucumber, chopped tomato, boiled egg drizzled with peanut sauce
All the ingredients are easy to find everywhere

I'm going to make Dolmeh for myself tomorrow. I ate this dish about 20 years before that was very delicious but have never cooked Dolmeh before. I might screw it up but worth trying.

 

[ALC]

Dolmas are amazing. Enjoy friend

I’m lucky that I can always find them at the store here but they’re not as good.

I remember my grandma used to make them and I’d help her pick out the grape leaves. Great dish, 10/10

I have a picanha that I will sous vide for four hours tomorrow and then will sear on charcoal for a couple of minutes. I really need inspiration for some sides, who can pitch in?

I am think chimichurri but that alone is far from enough.

@Bjerknes should help with something, I am sure.

Chimichurri sounds great for that, will be nice with the charcoal. You could also do a Detroit zip sauce, which is a simple steak sauce.

As for sides, doing some rosemary frites with a side of mayo or dipping into the chimi sauce sounds good. Kale cesar with anchovy and lime?

[JCK]

Kale is so good. I will try this

 

[JCK]

Out of the bath

And searing

Done searing

Looks nice eh?

This chimichurri smells great
