  • This is a bit of a nostalgic dish for me as my Nanna use to make it for us when we were kids. Simple, tasty comfort food.
    Sorry about the dodgy sound in this one! My mic decided not to play fair… (might have been user error if I'm honest with myself).

    Even though you have over 1M followers I want you to know you are still so underrated. You possess a quality that is professional, but still so human and approachable. Viewers can respect you as a professional chef that knows his shit, but also feel at home watching these videos bc that’s where you are. Seriously you’ve got a great thing going here. Stay encouraged. Keep doing this. It’s so awesome

    One of the things I appreciate about this and many of your videos is you mention alternatives, substitutes, and variations. Whether it's adding, subtracting, or replacing an ingredient, it gets my own mind working about how I could or have tweaked similar dishes and how I can make them better next time. Thanks Chef!

    I think its awesome to cook things our grandmothers used to cook for us as kids. For me, it was my Nan's bacon and vegetable soap. What is so good about it is that you can pretty much use whatever vegetables you want in it, so great for using up vegetables so they don't go to waste.

      My Mom would serve it (2) ways:

      - over toast (sort of a SOS version if you will) - we didn't have rice very often.

    Andy, This brings back memories. My mother used to make this when I was young. Wouldn't have been my Nana, as she was more likely to serve boiled hot dogs and baked beans, then go on to burn the hot dogs (and the beans for that matter). I'm doing a Korean thin cut short rib dish tomorrow night, but, this sounds like comfort food heaven for Wednesday night. I've only recently started watching your videos and primarily they had been the shorts. "Whatcha want for dinner babes ?" Love em all ! Thanks so much !

    My grandma on my dads side use to make this, and my dad continued making it after she moved to Florida. You can literally serve it with any carb. Pasta, White rice, dirty rice, spanish rice, Hawaiian Rolls, Toast, Mashed Potatoes, Biscuits, even bake the mashed potatoes or buscuits on top. Fried thinly sliced onions are top tier on it too. As long as you had white wine, cilantro, cream, flour, butter, bouillon and celery/carrots/onions plus a protien (usually chicken) and a carb (either diced toast or mashed potatoes for my family).

    @mockit_rockit Рік тому +16

    Gave this a shot tonight. I am a super novice cook and here are a couple of issues I ran into. Salt is pretty key here and I under-seasoned drastically throughout. When I try this again I will add a heaping tbsp of flour when making the rue and be a bit more patient with it in the beginning. I was adding flour then stock then flour to get it right which is not ideal. I do think a subtle flour taste is making the dish bland. Better to add a bit more flour than you think you'll need, cook it out, and thin it out as needed. I will also cut the red peppers thinner so they get softer. The onions are luscious but the peppers did not soften up as nicely. I juiced half a lemon into it and I enjoyed this addition. Just a bit more acid. Will be trying it again in the future. Repetition is key. Thank you Andy! I respect content from seasoned professionals much more and I appreciate your keep it simple / low-key attitude. Keep up the good work and I hope you achieve the success you are looking for on youtube.

    Was scrolling through your videos and found this last night. Ended up making it for dinner, minus the cream at the end for dairy intolerances. Without the cream at the end the sauce was very reminiscent of a Marsala sauce. Most of my family claims to not like mushrooms, onions, or wine, and they loved this! Cheers!
