re: Food Hacks

Kenny, no extra pot needed, just a couple extra minutes, plop your egg in the pot of stock for a few minutes to either soft-boil or poach it.

Many of our meals are hacks. Rotisserie chicken one night. Wings, back and thigh meat gets some taco seasoning for nachos the next night. Breasts get chopped and turned into chicken salad the next. Carcass goes into a gallon ziploc bag in the freezer, and when there’s four chicken skeletons, they go into the sous vide with a little water and mirepoix and a day or so later I have chicken stock for some other meal.

Leftover rice, put a can of coconut milk in a saucepan, put a can of leftover rice in. Add the seeds from one vanilla pod. Simmer and stir until it turns to pudding, and drizzle a little honey over the top for a tasty dessert. Or breakfast porridge. Put a beaten egg in if you want it to be richer and more custardy.
