Instant Pot Sourdough Bread
Another year has rolled by on Burnt My Fingers, so time for another clips post. Here are the recipes that garnered the most clicks (and hopefully contributed to a number of savory meals) during the pandemic. At least we didn’t all gorge on Bloody Marys and Chili Crisp Ice Cream.
- Recipe: Halal Guys White Sauce. In years past, folks gravitated to our expose of the coverup without bothering to read the actual recipe. This year, with nothing else to do, they’ve exhibited more curiosity. Spoiler: no exotic spices or mix-ins required.
- Recipe: Instant Pot Sourdough Bread. You can’t actually bake sourdough bread in the Instant Pot but can definitely do a nice job of proofing it. Try this with any number of bread recipes you can find on Burnt My Fingers by searching for “sourdough”.
- Recipe: Vinegar Peppers. A perennial favorite and very easy to make, reflecting the Italian-American red sauce tradition of the region where Burnt My Fingers is based. Enjoy Pork Chops with Vinegar Peppers, a local classic in Saratoga Springs.
- Recipe: Amish Creamed Celery. Although celery has a lot of symbolism in Amish Country, we didn’t find any in the familiar béchamel sauce when we visited there a while back. So we made our own, and folks seem to like it.
- Recipe: The Colonel’s KFC Three-Bean Salad. The Colonel inexplicably discontinued his best side dish, so we had to recreate it. We always make bean salad when canned goods go on sale at our local supermarket, and so should you. Feel free to cut back on the sugar, then add more if needed.
What lies ahead? In our area the virus counts are low and school has resumed with limited in-person attendance, but we’re still cautious about going out to eat. We’re also looking into a replacement for our sickly Thermador Professional stove which should inspire lots of home cooking. Stay tuned.
