Lembas Bread

"Lembas. Elvish waybread. One small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man."

I've finally tried making Lembas bread and wow I'm proud of myself. For someone who's not that good with baking (and it might be a bit more burnt than I would like), it's pretty great! and super tasty! (Recipe from @aeonianarchives)

Heya folks n friends! Today on our LotR cooking series, we're going to be making something inspired by Mrs. Maggot, wife of Farmer Maggot. Originally we were going to do a cream of mushroom soup, but the idea of adding meat as a cheeky lil joke on their last names was too good to pass up. In my mind meat goes better with thin soups than creamy ones.

And thus Mrs. Maggots Meat 'N Mush Stew was born.

(As always you can find the cooking instructions and full ingredient list under the break-)

MY NAMES CROSS NOW LETS COOK LIKE ANIMALS

SO, “what goes in to Mrs. Maggots Meat 'N Mush Stew?” YOU MIGHT ASKFor the stew portion itself we're going to be using a hearty base, aiming for a layering of flavors. If you feel comfortable making a roux, feel free to do so, but I did not due to energy levels and thus the flour in this recipe is only used for searing the meat before its added to the pot.

Cubed beef

Flour

Peanut oil

Beef stock

Dried porcini mushrooms

Carrots, chopped

Onion, diced

Garlic, crushed

Scallion, chopped

Bay leaf

Salt and pepper

Ground red pepper

Cumin

Zatarins gumbo file

For the other mushrooms, were going to cook them separate and throw them in at the end (but they'll have friends to keep them company!!).

Cremini mushrooms, sliced

Half an onion

Carrots

Garlic

Salt and pepper

Thyme

Olive oil

This took about 4 hours in total. If you have a slow cooker itd probably be easier to use that, but as is isn't too bad either. I mostly worked on commission stuff in the kitchen in-between stirring. "The best food is the one you don't have to make, the second best food is the one you don't have to think while making."

AND, “what does Mrs. Maggots Meat 'N Mush Stew taste like?” YOU MIGHT ASK

HOT HOT HOT

Tastes like walking from the cold into the cramped but cozy bar your friend works at

Meat was so tender and juicy, melts in your mouth. Makes you cry

It wanst actually carmelization but the onions had a hint of tasting caramelized

Mushrooms- a strong umami flavor with a bit of smokeyness

Once you get that Perfect level of gumbo file, it just makes every other element stick out more

Like an energy booster for the ingredients

A spotlight on the bay leaf, and oils, and spices

. If you don't want to use beef, feel free to use vegetable stock instead and replace the cubes with strips of king oyster mushrooms. Exclude the flour but still cook them in the pan. . this isnt officially part of the recipe since im not sure itd be 'on theme', but feel free to start your rice cooker around the 3 hour mark so you can have some hot rice ready for serving as filler.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I was looking through food and food mentions in LotR, Mrs.Maggot just stook out to me. 'Queen amongst farmers wives' is both really sweet and a fuckin killer description. What a legend. I wanted to do something based on her and our two options were either beer, bacon or raw mushrooms. Beer while very appealing is also not something you can whip up in a day, while raw mushrooms have a chance of killing my beloved readers. I don't want to talk about me and bacons sordid past.

And so as praise to this funky farmer women, may you add this stew to your collection of potpie, lasagna, and roast recipes.

Did i mention i started my first grease fire when making this? Yeah. Don't cover any empty greased pan even if your intent is to keep water from splashing into it.

Anyway, this recipe is a solid 10/10 (with 1 being food that makes one physically sick and 10 being food that gives one a lust for life again.) The partner has already made me pledge to cook it again hehehe

🐁 ORIGINAL RESIPPY TEXT BELOW 🐁

Ingredients:

2 lbs cubed beef

A little bit of flour to 'tumble' the meat in, in a bowl

Peanut oil to sear the beef, as needed

3 kilograms beef stock

28g dried porcini mushrooms

4 carrots, chopped

1 white onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1 scallion branch, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Ground red pepper to taste

Cumin to taste

3 bay leafs

A pinch of Zatarins gumbo file

Ingredients… . . TWO:

1 lb cremini mushrooms

Half of a white onion, diced

1 carrot, chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed

Salt, pepper, and thyme to taste

Olive oil as needed to pan-fry

Method:

Put the porcini mushrooms into a bowl, add enough warm water to cover. Give them roughly 20 minutes, or until softened and the waters turned color.

Cut the carrots, onion, and garlic.

Get a large pot with a lid, pour in your stock (or water and bouillon cubes). Pour in the porcinis and the mushroom water. Turn the burner to medium-high.

Add your bay leaves, carrots, onion, and garlic to the pot. Add extra salt if you'd like.

Tenderize and cut your beef into roughly 1 inch cubes.

In a small bowl, pour a handful of flour along with pepper, cumin, and ground red pepper. Mix until combined.

Lightly toss each cube of beef in the mixture, get a little coverage on each side.

Heat a frying pan to medium heat and add peanut oil. If using an electric stovetop it will take time to heat up.

Add some of your beef cubes to the pan, don't overcrowd it. Flip to check sides are a light brown with dark brown edges, its good for some pink/red to poke through.

Add beef cubes to the pot when done, careful of splashing.

Keep doing this in batches until all beef cubes are added. 

 Once the pot has reached a simmer, turn the heat down a few notches and cover.

Set a timer for 4 hours. Taste test every so often. Aim to stir the pot every 10-15 minutes.

(You can do steps 14-21 immediately or optionally wait a bit)

 Rinse and dry your cremini mushrooms.

Slice them vertically. Cut the carrots, onion, and garlic.

In a frying pan on medium-low heat, add olive oil, carrots, and onion. Keep the vegetables moving! When they start to change texture, add your cremini mushrooms.

Bring the pan up to medium heat. 

Once your mushrooms have cooked off the liquid inside, theyll start turning a deeper brown. Add the garlic. Keep! the! vegetables! Moving!

If the pan gets overcrowded, take some out and set it aside in a bowl. Smaller batches.

This process took roughly 15 minutes, but youll know its done once everything has a nice sear on it and the garlic is brown but not burnt. Add salt, pepper, and thyme to taste.

Set everything aside in a bowl.

Once the 4 hours are up the meat should be cooked all the way through and tender enough to pull apart. Strain the bay leaves out. Cut and add scallions. Add the bowl with cremini mushrooms.

Add a pinch of gumbo file to start, stir and taste test.

Ok but wouldn’t it be funny if

Arwen, newly arrived in Valinor after faking her and Aragorn’s death and squirreling themselves away on a ship: of course i have proof i am who i say i am! I know the family technique.

Arwen, making the rivers jump to her command via a Song of Power: see? I am clearly Elrond Peredhel’s daughter and of Luthien’s line.

Arafinwe, who damn well knows Maglor used that technique against rebellious baby cousins and various unfortunate Silmaril-thieving kin: oh you are definitely Elrond’s

#tag.words #silmarillion #tolkien #arwen #lady arwen #arwen undomiel #kidnap fam #maglor teaching itty bitty elrond his techniques #and elrond teaching itty biity arwen those same songs of power #nobody knowing except galadriel just how many Family Techniques #and Family Heirlooms #are actually feanorian and not doriathrim #until the peredhel fam sail to valinor and celebrian is cooking one of feanors experimental bread recipes #and elrond is debating just like maedhros in his youth #and the twins are sparring using the Ambarussa’s swords #and arwen is calling the river to her command #just #the peredhel fam having feanorian undertones without completely realizing #arafinwe #finarfin #finarfin is so done

Clover Cotton’s Cookbook: summer vegetables pan

Hi everyone, welcome on my blog, I’m Clover Cotton, from Bywater. I admit I was a bit intimidated to share my recipes here but Rosie, my dear sister-in-law, pestered me until I relented. She has quite a temper and a sound judgement so I trust her when she says someone will be interested…

As we have an unreasonably warm summer here in the Shire, I decided to share a staple of my summer recipes, easy and light, for my first post: the zucchini and eggplant pan.

For four hobbits you will need:

a medium eggplant

two to three medium zucchini

one or two cloves of garlic depending on preferences

Parmesan cheese

salt

olive oil

Cut the eggplant and zucchinis in thin slices and put them in a large pan with a generous amount of olive oil. Cut and add the garlic and salt at will.

Let fry on medium heat, stirring frequently, until all the vegetables are soft and a nice golden brown.

Take off the stove and wait until the pan stops steaming, and add grated Parmesan cheese. Stir and serve with rice or pasta for a light and delicious dinner. For days of great heat, it may even be served for luncheon with simple (garlic) bread or crackers.

A few variants include:

Goat cheese instead of Parmesan cheese

Fresh mint chopped and added just before serving

Adding black pepper to the seasoning

So, here’s my first recipe post, hope you enjoyed it. If you wonder, yes, I did write out a canon-compliant backstory worth of a d&d character for Clover Cotton, and yes, I will dump it on you in her various posts. She likes gossips, alright, like any self-respecting Hobbit!

Also, don’t mind the ugly setting of the pics. As much as I’d love to have a giant cottagecore kitchen with a real pantry, I have to make it do with an extremely unaesthetic 80’s rental flat style kitchen. As long as it serves its purpose, I can’t complain 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you like hobbits (well, "Shirefolk", because this is an inofficial and unlicensed project)? Do you like cooking? Do you like hobbit cuisine? Then I'd like to invite you to have a look at this Kickstarter for... dun dun dun... a cookbook inspired by hobbit cuisine! The English translation of that cookbook which has already been published in German, to be exact. The Kickstarter runs from July 21 to August 6, 2023, so there's a couple of days left to jump on board!

another bonus of the epic pancake saga is that it frees up processing space for non-pancake foods

i’ve now made bread for nine o’clock snacks three weeks in a row, and sure, it’s bread that’s intended to keep for a week instead of fresh bread every day, and it’s very simple bread in a very simple shape, but it’s still bread, and it’s incredibly delicious, and it’s just. so very nice?

#food stuff for ts #the epic pancake saga #yes it's lembas #well first it was brioche or something? #and then the week after i had plans on sunday afternoon #so i decided i wanted soda bread instead #and because i'm hyperfixating on tolkien atm #i went to google lembas recipes #and i found one that is incredibly delicious #and looks nothing like movie!lembas #but i do not care it has cinnamon and molasses #and it tastes perfect #i might have to try adding ground nuts or dried fruit #or possibly pear molasses #or maybe even order apple molasses just for fun
