Cold watermelon on a hot summer day.

So the pleb version of Pa amb tomàquet with an espresso. Gotcha.

i like to eat mozzarella straight from the block

>>7859088
It's actually better than that. It's funny how resourceful "plebs" are. When you refine something to its vary essence, you end up with a more sophisticated and enjoyable dish.

fried eggs in butter with salt and fresh ground pepper

my #1 comfort food

>>7859080
I keep a log of cookie dough in my freezer, sometimes I take a bite out of it.

water, sometimes with frozen water in it.

I've tried that and it was meh. I find this a prime example of how boring Spanish cuisine is compared to the rest of the Mediterranean. Why have that when I can have a bruschetta using exactly the same ingredients?

delicious pepperoni pizza

spicy paprika and tomatoes simmered on fresh bread

>>7859080
I'm actually eating this during the summer. Tried it on a trip to Barcelona and loved it instantly

>>7859080

Tastes like home.

grilled cheese dipped in pea soup

Sort of like a toasted cheese but using mozzarella and pepperoni in it but made in the same way. Butter the outsides, Put in pan on low until it's golden brown, flip and do the same, cut in half diagonally.

>>7859080

This dish always makes me think of Barcelona.

My simple pleasure?

I do that for breakfast with fried eggs. Sometimes I out the egg on top of the bread, eat it like that.

>>7859080
>Pa amb tomàquet
Pretty sure it's called "pan con tomate", it's spanish for "tomato bread". It's good with some jamón serrano too

>>7859239

because you like it?

for everyfucking food there's someone saying 'this is shit because x is better'. no it's not, it's different, and kill yourself.

Any hot cereal.

>>7859894
It's different but also worse. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. Steaks and hoagies are different things, but a steak is also much better than a hoagie regardless.

Bruschetta and Dakos >>> A slice of bread that caught a glimpse of a tomato and smelled some garlic once upon a time.

Rye toast with cultured butter.

Enjoy your tomato scented bread

I will try. Sounds easy enought for my lazy ass to do.

I like to drink cold milk, easy oats with honey (bananas and something else is also great), pomegrenade+lemon on icecream, plain past with salt (maybe tomato and cheese), random kinds of bread (but not much, im getting sick of it), potato with garlic and sunflower oil, cold water that does not taste like bleach, chocolate, carrots, bread+olive-oil+cheese... Evetything i cook is simple, really. Im a lazy ass and when I find a dish that does not take time, i get bored of it quickly or I end up doing something easier.

>>7859889
Readthefilename.jpg and stop going anal about random shit.

I make a pot of sweet shakshuka, and have it with bread and black coffee.

Ultra simple and tasty. Top tier hangover fix

>>7859080
garden tomatoes on toast with olive oil and salt/pepper is my summer favorite

>>7859854
why pea soup over tomato soup? just curious

Rice cooked in chicken stock, with a couple fried eggs chopped into it. Add fresh ground pepper, garlic salt, and just a smidgen of mayo for texture.

Divine.

Porridge in the morning, usually oatmeal porridge. Its just so good when you wake up hungry.

toasted english muffin with quality butter sorta melted but not liquid on it

Cold tomato and cheese sandwich. Of course you can dress it up more but this is the base

This fucking insane pizza bianca I had in Sutri, Italy that I will probably never get to put inside my body ever again

Pic mostly related, the sutri pizza was cut in big ass rectangles

>>7860780

no, it's just different, and kill yourself.

>>7859080
Midnight pasta:
Mince 4 filets anchovies, tablespoon of capers, couple cloves of garlic. Mix together. Add red pepper flakes. Boil up some pasta (I like linguine). When the pasta is about halfway done, put some olive oil in a pan, heat it till oil shimmers, add mixture, let it cook briefly. Meanwhile, drain pasta (leave a bit of the pasta water), and add it to the pan. Cook pasta until al dente (slightly chewy). Drizzle some high quality flavorful olive oil over it. Grate some parmigiana on it (optional)

On cold days: hot chocolate with a buttered kaiser roll

>>7862574
Sounds like a sort of white Spaghetti alla Puttanesca. Were you inspired by it?

>>7862581
shut up you cringy fuck

>>7862587
Go back to your ramen thread.

>>7862584
Nope, came across this recipe ages ago. I had some leftover 'chovies and took to the googles and found this recipe in NYT Cooking (great resource for recipes btw), had some capers on hand and gave it a whirl. Loved it. Ive eaten it at least once a week ever since. Easy to whip up after a long day at the office. Puttanesca is tasty as fuck (and just as simple) as well though.

What are some good fruits with low juice content?

I found a nice recipe for homemade ice cream, but fruits with high water content, like berries, seem to cause it to freeze solid with ice.

I've had some success with using bananas and jackfruit.

>>7862615
What is that

fresh bread

POWER GAP

bacon and swiss toasted sandwich
pasta with crushed tomoatoes

>>7859080
Rice and beans rice kind of dry beans lightly refried with onion infused oil and not mashed with bacon or ham in it served with plantains and a coke.

Central American fag here.

>>7864372
Couldn't you just make a reduction of juicier fruit, then add that?

plain doritos with jalapenos and melted cheese or even just doritos and jalapenos

>>7864599
I've never made a reduction.

Do I just blenderize the fruit until it's a liquid and then boil it until it's a slurry?

>>7864372
>>7864599
>>7864863

commonly in french ices they deal with this by turning the fruit pulp into a syrup. increasing the sugar content reduces the ice crystallisation

>>7864866
>increasing the sugar content reduces the ice crystallisation
Does this not happen when artificial sweeteners are used instead of actual sugar?
I used Splenda in the berry batch, but I assumed it iced over due to the high water content of the berries.

>>7864931

>Does this not happen when artificial sweeteners are used instead of actual sugar?

no, especially not with those high intensity sweeteners that you use very little of. low sugar ice creams are a bit more tricky.

yeah you had luck! i'm from near Sutri. Pizza bianca is typical in north lazio and is almost unknown abroad. we eat it plain (rosemary, evo, salt) or with prosciutto, prosciutto+figs, mortadella, salame. Pizza Bianca is also the typical snack for kids in school. Is not a Focaccia. Ypu can have it thin and crunchy, with lotsa oil, or you can heve thick, for filling it. Just Ask to the baker and he will take the large pieces, showing them to you and asking: "this way thick?" an then cutting.
