We don't eat pork, what would be a great sub for chorizo?
I like the idea
I never tire of your videos….no matter how old, the knowledge is always fresh 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
Just a note: quinoa is NOT low in carbs. People will often say that, but it is not accurate. It has as many carbs as white rice. The benefit is it has the highest nutrition of all the carbs. And it raises blood sugar more slowly than other carbs.
GETTING MY SOUPS READY
Don't bother buying ready made pesto. It's easy and quick to make, variable, and so much better.
Ha ha that’s funny I’m Portuguese my dad side of the family is part Portuguese
The best pesto is the Kirkland brand at Costco. The best and it’s not close.
I will be trying these two stews
I hate stew…
For anyone wondering about Costco pesto-they’ve clarified in the past that they don’t generally include anything from Costco in their reviews, as it’s a membership grocery that doesn’t exist in all cities. They’re going for the brands they think anyone in the US may be able to get a hold of.
Yes to both recipes…
This Portugese-style beef stew looks delicious, but just doesn't look like a stew to me… not much liquid, and what little there seems more like a jus (as Julia stated). I'd make it, but I think I'd treat it like a braised meat recipe, and serve with rice or noodles or quinoa!!!!!
Why not just add the chorizo to the pot later in the cooking process? Then you could eat the stew hot, and as soon as it's done.
Why not use the Portuguese, Linguića? That's the real deal.
I didn't know about having to rince the quinoa, so maybe I'll try it again. Thanks
Soapas and Linguica
The Portuguese stew looks great. So does Bridget's hair.
Love love Becky!
Anyone know if the onion, beef, wine ratio & cook time/theme would work for other spices & red wine? It really looks easy & flavorful. Thx
think the Alcatra needs a bed of polenta or mashed?
I learn from every recipe demonstration. I love all the recipes because they truly work. And most of all they hold the big secret of "flavor!"
ATK gives a recommendation for the best pot holders, but you all use kitchen towels instead.
2:59 Boning knife instantly turns into a chef's knife…pretty smooth cut lol
Anything with Lisa gets a 👍🏻
I want to try that recipe of buffalo cauliflower bites how do I make it
I live near London, England and I love watching your episodes on YouTube. Thank you.
Good dinner stew like soups hahaha for dinner with my lovely American family in law , Good job always , Thank for your help ^^
I love your show but the portuguese Alcatra don’t have chourizo the best alcatra is from Terceira Azorez look it up
The stewed beef looked good, but it is missing some veggies to really call it beef stew, for me anyway. I would add the beef to the quinoa stew and call it a meal! 😎
