Quarantine Eats
In the Twitch chat for ARon & Jack tonight there was a lot of food talk so I thought I'd start a thread about food you've been cooking in lockdown that has been inventive, desperate or a necessity you can't survive without.
For me I found a simple recipe for some brussel sprouts that were getting old. In a pan fry really well some onions that were cut into thin strands, almost burnt. Add brussel sprouts that have been thinly sliced and salt and pepper. Cook to desired doneness. Quick Brussel Sprout Hash. Fry an egg and put it on top for a tasty breakfast.

When I was making it my brain was saying "this recipe needs bacon" but it always says that no matter what I cook...

My mom was raised in Brazil and so I was raised eating feijoada. I recently got an Instapot and this recipe makes it so quick! I only use 3 meats right now, not 4. Bacon, pork shoulder and sausage.
Served over white rice, it is perfection.
Plus it's easy to reheat and makes tons of leftovers.
To make recipes using the greek yogurt of the company she works for and sharing them with the company. So we have been doing that together in quarantine-time. So far we have made mushroom stroganoff with greek yogurt instead of sour cream (she is vegetarian), donuts with yogurt in them, egg bites in the instant pot with greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese (yum). But she needs more recipes, is hoping for another sweet dessert thing for the next idea. If anyone has ideas we would appreciate! She kind of wants another sweet idea next, but any idea is appreciated. All the recipes you all have shown so far look terrific!
I did the @A_Ron_Hubbard thing and bought a giant bag of rice, and a more reasonable bag of dry beans. I need some recipes for those...
Totally agree about water chestnuts in stir fry. The real game change for me was Chinese restaurant trick of soaking beef in baking soda and water for 20 minutes then rinsing before frying. Makes it so tender.
