Hi fellow adventurers!! Welcome to chapter 2! We're going to be attempting a nice lil fruit-focused quiche/frittata/pie thing. And yes, tomatoes are fruits.

Who says you cant eat totally normal things in a dungeon with definitely no monsters in them? 

You know what that means; Man-Eating Plant Tart!

(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 a Man-Eating Plant Tart?” YOU MIGHT ASKThe way its prepared in the show is akin to a frittata, but the crust is borrowed from quiche world.

Eggs

Whole milk

Bell peppers

Persimmons

Cherry tomatoes

Pitted green olives

Thinly sliced OR shredded sweet potatos

Salt

Pepper

In the show they use leftover hotpot stock, slime, and mashed up fruit as the batter ingredients. Fruit mush is easy to work with but I couldn't find any stand-in for slime that would cook correctly into what they made in the show, and the hotpot stock is just not thick enough to carry the base. It is too many watery ingredients at once. Needing a thickening agent, both gelatin and agar agar were tried. It was edible but the texture was… gelatinous. Regular egg and milk will serve for our purposes.

The next complication was the crust- so in the show its made with the skins of fruit, straightforward yeah? Well. You see it also has to be 1. Thick enough to bake without burning 2. Harden through cooking to be sliced and held and 3. Inedible. Lotus leaves? Plantain leaves? Really thin gourds? I couldnt find any historical basis for a savory food cooked in this method, or similar method, with an intentionally inedible crust. I could find a few dishes which used leaves as their crust, but none that hardened during cooking and even less that used fruit skin. I chose sweet potato skin for its visual match and texture. It is edible, and it is not a fruit.

I hope youll forgive me for these 2 major deviations as i wanted to keep it looking how it does in the show while also ensuring it tastes good.

AND, “what does a Man-Eating Plant Tart taste like?” YOU MIGHT ASKFluffy, airy, savory, salty.

The density of the eggs is offset by the crisp fruits

And the saltiness doesnt overpower the remnant fruit-sweetness

(If you eat the crust) the sweet potato brings this nice muted, smokey, flavor

Spongecake-esque in consistency

Would pair well with cranberry or strawberry juice

Would also pair well with a mellow hot sauce?

. You can use heavy cream instead of milk for a creamier batter . Roast the fruit longer to remove more liquid if too wet (and vice versa if too dry) . Smoked paprika, pepper flakes, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder would taste good in the mixture

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

"A mixture of mashed up and cut up Man-Eating Plant fruit, slime and scorpion soup is poured into a pan lined with the flattened peel of the fruit and cooked before garnishing with some more fruit. Described as salty by the group."

From start to finish this recipe took 3-ish hours? Shredding the potatoes took the longest, so if you get them bagged itd be cut down. A very filling recipe and a good way to sneak veggies/fruits in if you have a hard time getting enough of those essential nutrients. The best advice i can give is to add salt/seasonings at every stage of the process, to build up layers. It makes a difference flavor-wise (even if its just salt). I advise against reheating if possible. The filling will make the crust soggy over time.

If you want to be closer to the cooking of the show, you could double the fruit amounts and mash them together while halving the amount of egg and milk. I hadnt tried due to budget reasons, but it should work with some finangling. I'll pass the final verdict off to you guys with how todays recipe turned out <333

What would you rate this recipe out of 10? (with 1 being food that makes one physically sick and 10 being food that gives one a lust for life again.) Did you love it, did you hate it? What're your thoughts on what I could do better, and what would you have done instead?

🐁 ORIGINAL RESIPPY TEXT BELOW 🐁

Ingredients:

3 Eggs

13oz whole milk

2 bell peppers

2 small persimmons

140oz cherry tomatoes

12oz pitted green olives

34oz thinly sliced OR shredded sweet potatos

Salt

Pepper

Method:

Heat oven to 420f and grease a 9-inch pie pan.

Thinly slice (or shred) your sweet potatoes and squeeze out any excess moisture. Coat in olive oil, salt and pepper.

Press sweet potato mixture evenly into and up the sides of the pie pan.

Blind bake for roughly 25 minutes or until lightly golden-brown. No worries if the edges get crisp.

Remove pie pan from oven and set aside.

Core and chop up your bell peppers and persimmons. Coat with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Line out on a baking sheet, evenly spaced, and roast for roughly 20 minutes or until softened. (you can do this at the same time on a separate rack from the pie crust if you have room)

Remove the stems from your cherry tomatoes, and drain/dry your green olives if canned.

Bring a frying pan to medium heat with olive oil. Add the green olives and sautee until their skin texture starts dimpling. Add the cherry tomatoes and continue sauteeing for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned.

Once the bell peppers, persimmons, cherry tomatoes, and green olives are all done, set aside to cool until just above room temp.

Lower the oven temperature to 350f.

In a mixing bowl combine your eggs and milk, add salt to taste. If you want other seasonings nows a good time!

Once uniform in color and texture, add your cooked fruit. Stir until evenly distributed.

Pour mixture into the potato pie crust.

Bake for roughly 40 minutes. The filling should be mostly firm, but wiggle *slightly* when you shake the pan.

Remove from oven and let rest for roughly 15 minutes before serving.

🍌🍞 CeCe's Honey Banana Bread 🍞🍌

Hiya there, everyone! So this is a little different from my usual post, but I've wanted to share some of my favorite recipes with you all for a while now. I figured since I can't cook for you all in person, I can at least share the recipes I love so you can make them yourselves.

So this first recipe is my honey banana bread recipe that I've been making for about a year now; I hope you all enjoy it, and if any of you make it, please send me pictures so I can see them.

I hope you all stay blessed and safe throughout your day.

Lots of Love & Wishes: Celia 💙

Wet Ingredients:

1 cup of honey

2 to 3 ripe bananas mashed (It depends on how big the bananas are.)

2 eggs

1/3 cup of vegetable oil

1 tsp of vanilla extract

1/4 cup of milk (You can use whatever type of milk you like, I use whole milk because it makes the bread fluffier in my opinion.)

Dry Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups of flour

1 tsp of baking soda

1/2 tsp of salt

1 tsp of ground cinnamon

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Grease and lightly flour a 9 x 5-inch pan.

In a cereal bowl mash up your bananas until it's almost a pudding constancy, then add in your milk and whisk until combined.

In a medium-sized bowl mix together your flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Then in a large bowl whisks together your honey and oil, before adding in your eggs.

When all three are mixed together add your banana milk mixture until everything is blended together.

Once all your wet ingredients have been combined continue to stir while slowly adding all of your dry ingredients.

After that continue stirring everything together until all of the dry ingredients are mixed in with the wet.

When that's done pour into your pan and sprinkle more cinnamon on top for a little more flavor.

Then put it inside the oven and bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour.

And there you have it honey banana bread!

Small Flavor Tip: You can add other things like chocolate chips, dried fruits, and nuts to have it fit your taste a little bit more. I don't really like those with banana bread so I'll usually spread honey or apple butter on a slice.

I hope you all enjoy it!

Roasted Potatoes

Depression meal: roasted potatoes

Here is a  meal that is relatively cheap and easy to make:

1) Get 6-10 small red or gold potatoes cut in half, usually half a bag, or you can do the whole bag if it all fits on the baking sheet.

2) Toss them with avocado oil, butter or ghee (anything with a high smoke point), add salt, garlic seasoning or whatever seasonings you want too. I usually do garlic and onion powder, paprika and some Italian dried herbs. Even plain ol salt is fine.

3) Roast them on a baking sheet at 475F for 25 min. Line the baking sheet with tinfoil for easy cleanup.

4) Let cool for 5-10 minutes

Dipping sauce: Mayo + curry powder is my favorite but you can eat them plain or with ketchup or plain mayo, etc.

can u share ur cottage pie recipe?? <3

Why, of course I can! I'd be happy to!

Now I'm not sure if this is how it's done traditionally, but this is how I make it & I'm very happy with it every time.

-Ingredients & Stuff You're Gonna Need-*

1lb ground beef

4-5 good-sized russet potatoes

2 carrots, peeled & diced

1 ear of corn, cooked & shucked

1/2 of a white onion, diced

1-2 garlic cloves, minced

a handful of portabella mushrooms, sliced

1-2 celery stalks, sliced

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1-2 tbsp olive oil

4 tbsp butter

3/4 cup milk (more or less may be needed)

fresh parsley leaves (for garnish)

one 8" round cake pan

strainer/colander

*feel free to modify the ingredients however you like! I usually just add whatever's available in the fridge!

-Instructions-

*I do recommend doing the steps below the potatoes as they are cooking, as it can take a while!

-Preheat the oven to 350F

-I usually start with the potatoes, since they take the longest to prep. Set a medium pot of water to boil on the stovetop. While you're waiting, peel, dice (not super tiny, just around a 1" piece is good), & pat the potatoes dry. Once the water is boiling, carefully put your diced potato pieces into the water & wait until they are soft enough to poke a fork through with little resistance. (If a starchy-foam starts to collect at the top of the pot, carefully use a spoon or ladle to spoon it out into the sink). Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in the strainer or colander & put the cooked potatoes in a bowl. Combine with butter & milk (adding 1/4 cup at a time, you can always add more!) & mash until they reach a consistency you're happy with. Season with salt & pepper!

-Cook your ground beef on the stovetop until it is all cooked through, not leaving any pink spots. Carefully drain the grease from the pan & return the meat to the stovetop, though you don't need to keep it heated, as it will be heated once it goes into the oven. Season the meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder & onion powder, mixing it around to coat as much as you can. Set off to the side.

-Dice, slice & chop your veggies as directed, & throw them in a pot or pan with the olive oil to sauté. (you can add a bit of seasoning to them too, if you'd like!)

-Once the veggies are sautéed, add them to the cooked beef & stir it around, just to mix everything together nicely.

-Spoon your veggie-beef mixture into your cake pan, filling it up nearly to the top, maybe leaving about an 1/8" or so (you can just eyeball it though, that's what I usually do).

-Gently spoon your mashed potatoes on top, covering the entire surface of the filling evenly, & feel free to add as many layers as you like! I like to cover mine as if I were frosting a cake.

-Add a pinch of salt & pepper to the top of the potatoes & pop that sucker into the 350F oven for 30 minutes, or until the edges of the mashed potatoes are golden brown. Once it's ready, garnish with fresh parsley leaves.

And there you have it! My homemade cottage pie recipe! I hope you enjoy, & let me know if you've tried it!
