How To Cook A Stewing Hen!

February 25, 2021 By Grace Leave a Comment

This page may contain affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no cost to you when you make a purchase using my link. This post explains how to cook a Stewing Hen!

What Is a Stewing Hen?

The first time I saw a stewing hen was in the frozen section of my local Asian market. I was intrigued because I had never seen one before.

A stewing hen is a hen that is unable to produce eggs much anymore, or an egg layer that has been retired. Due to this, farmers normally have to cull them to make way for new egg layers. Using a stewing hen in cooking is a way to honor the entire life cycle of the bird, which I absolutely love.

Super Duper Scottish Mince and Tatties!

Movie Night – Gregory’s Girl

Recently we selected for our Sunday movie night the Scottish coming of age film called “Gregory’s Girl.” It’s about Gregory, a super geeky teenager who falls head over heels for Dorothy. Dorothy’s skills as a footballer (soccer, to us Americans) lands her a place on the school football team, actually taking Gregory’s place. You’ll have to watch it to find out what happens next. 🙂 It’s a super cute film and really funny!

On movie nights I’ll cook a meal that has something to do with the film we are watching. The inspiration for the meal could be something eaten in the film, or perhaps the setting. This time it was the beautiful country of Scotland (the setting) which inspired the meal. This is how I discovered the delicious Scottish dish called Mince and Tatties!

Awesomely Delicious Home Made Impossible Burger!

January 25, 2021 By Grace Leave a Comment

This page may contain affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no cost to you when you make a purchase using my link. Here is a recipe for an Awesomely Delicious Home Made Impossible Burger!

I’ve been revisiting a trip to Oklahoma that Steve, Toby, and I took in 2019. En route and on the road to OK, we had our first Impossible Burger…at Burger King!

The Impossible Whopper!

I was SO VERY DUBIOUS when I ordered the Impossible Whopper…I didn’t think I would like it at all. But I’m so happy to say that I WAS SO VERY WRONG! It was delicious, AND it tasted like a beef burger. How can this be??

Burger King wanted to offer their Whopper “Impossible” style, using the Impossible Burger, which is made from plants. They normally cook their Impossible Whopper on the same broiler that they use to make their regular Whoppers. However, if you request that they prepare it without using their broiler, they will accommodate!

The Impossible Whopper includes the same ingredients as the Whopper, except the Impossible Meat Patty subs for beef. In my opinion, it tasted almost like a Whopper! I don’t know if I would have been able to tell the difference if I had to do a blind taste test!! 🙂

Home Made Impossible Burger

I desperately wanted to recreate this burger at home. You can now buy the Impossible Burger at grocery stores. They sell it both shaped into burger patties, and also a block of it, as you would buy ground beef.

Impossible Burger with lettuce, onion, tomato, and wasabi mayo in a bowl with a spoon — 12 oz package – I made 2 LARGE burgers from this, but you can certainly make 3!

Impossible Burger back of the package — Holy moly look at the Nutrition Facts!

I bought a 12 oz pack the other day, and shaped it into 2 burgers (they were pretty big). The only thing I added was some salt and pepper. One note…when working with it with your hands, the texture feels so different to ground beef…feels grainy. It was very interesting to work with!

My Impossible Burger that I made at home was placed inside a butter toasted hamburger bun, and garnished with iceberg lettuce, sliced tomato, and thickly sliced red onion. The dressing was wasabi mayo. 🙂

It was DELICIOUS! One day, I will research more about how the Impossible Burger was engineered and came to fruition…I’m sure it’s an amazing story. Until then, we’ll just enjoy it for what it is. Truly IMPOSSIBLY AMAZING.

Toby likes it too!

Have you tried the Impossible Burger? If not, I urge you to give it a go!

You can buy the Impossible Burger in grocery stores. Amazon also sells the preformed patties and you can purchase that here.

Awesomely Delicious Home Made Impossible Burger!

Grace

Make an INCREDIBLE Impossible Burger at home! So delicious even the most die hard carnivore won't miss the meat!

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Prep Time 5 mins

Cook Time 8 mins

Toasting hamburger buns 2 mins

Total Time 15 mins

Course Main Course

Cuisine American

Servings 2 people

Equipment

Skillet (cast iron if possible)

Ingredients

2 hamburger buns
spreadable butter to spread on hamburger buns to toast them
1 12 oz Impossible Burger Made From Plants
2 tbsp olive oil
salt to taste
pepper to taste

Suggested Garnishes and Condiments

few pieces iceberg lettuce
few slices onion I used red onion
few slices tomato
mayo for a kick add some wasabi it's SUPERB!
sliced cheese add your favorite sliced cheese if you like!

Instructions

Heat up your skillet on medium heat. Spread a thin layer of butter on the burger buns, and lightly toast the bottom of each bun. Remove and set aside.
Place the Impossible Burger "meat" in a large bowl. Add a little salt and pepper to taste and gently mix to combine. Form into 2x 6 oz patties.
Turn up the heat to medium high, and add 2 tbsp of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet. Cook each side around 4 minutes or so until browned. You may need to adjust the time to suit your circumstances. The package on the Impossible Burger states that the burger is cooked with the interior reaches 160F. Remove once cooked and drain on paper towels.
Assemble your Impossible Masterpiece! Slather mayo (or wasabi mayo) on the cut sides of the toasted buns. Add lettuce to the bottom bun, top with the patty, cheese (if using) tomato, onion, and top bun. Open mouth WIDE and enjoy!

Notes

The Impossible “meat” really tastes like beef! It’s super fun to make the Impossible Burger at home, and feel free to change up the garnishes and condiments to your liking.

You can make smaller burgers (shape into 3 or 4 patties if you like) but just remember you’ll need to reduce cooking time on each side of the burger with smaller ones.

Enjoy this super delicious burger whenever you fancy a plant based burger!

Easy Shrimp Gumbo Using Zatarain’s Gumbo Mix!

December 5, 2020 By Grace Leave a Comment

Zatarain’s Gumbo Mix

When we visited Southeastern Oklahoma (aka Choctaw Country) in 2019, we stayed in a fantastic Airbnb with an amazing view. Each night I cooked at “home” and one evening I made a Shrimp Gumbo. It was easy…I used Zatarain’s Gumbo Mix. If you haven’t tried this and you like gumbo please give it a try!

Think of this Gumbo Mix as a base or foundation. Follow my recipe below, or use your creativity to come up with your own delicious gumbo!

All you need for the gumbo that I made is:

Box of Zatarain’s Gumbo Mix (you should be able to find this at your local grocery store; I have also linked here to Amazon)
14.5 oz can of Stewed Tomatoes
1 lb shrimp
Water
Hot Pickled Okra – Optional (but oh so good!)
Green Onions – Optional for garnish

The Zatarain’s Gumbo Mix already includes rice, so you won’t need to make additional rice to accompany this dish. They make it so easy!

What is Mexican Barbacoa?

“Barbacoa” (Spanish) translates to “barbecue” in English. 🙂 Americans think of barbecue as a method of cooking that involves either smoking, grilling, or roasting. However, in Mexico barbacoa refers to a cooking method that involves steaming or slow cooking over an open fire until the meat is fall apart tender.

In Central Mexico, barbacoa very often involves meat such as goat, lamb or mutton, cooked in an underground oven which has been dug into the ground. There is a great article from The Spruce Eats which goes into much more detail about Mexican barbacoa which I highly recommend reading!

Water
Hot Pickled Okra – Optional (but oh so good!)
Green Onions – Optional for garnish
