Usually, you can just open that tomato paste with the cap/lid. There's a little thingy for that sole purpose👌 All the food looked delicious, very inspiring! 🙌🦋🎉
Yes. Turn the cap that came on the tomato puree around, there's a pointed end, put it back on the tomato puree tube with the pointed end pressing into the little foil seal. Lots of tubes are like this.
Hi, the easier way to open a tomato paste tube is tu use the cap/top of it. Once you twist it and get it off the tube just turn it upside-down and press the cap on the silverish foil. The cap is a bit pointy so it will poke the silverish plastic thingy and you don't have stab yourself with a scissor.
@ryanvictor5108 amazing how you presume I am mad from a sentence which does not convey the emotion in which I typed it but if you are a psychic I love that for you, well done! It was an observation, that's all 😊
The big game changer for me in regards to cooking meals quickly and more importantly, less stressfully, was implementing mise en place. Basically it means getting all the ingredients ready first, then cooking. So chopping up all veg and herbs, measuring out any additional ingredients and spices, then opening any packaging or canned goods. Then once you start cooking, you can just pick it up and throw it in so you can actually monitor the cooking process.
Nice to see you having fun with cooking. Some tips: the tip of the tomato paste cap usually has a pointy tip you can use to pierce the foil, dip the aubergines in a paper towel to prevent that oil splattering, and for easy 15-minute meals look for recipes that share ingredients so you can bulk meal prep a bit.
For the tomato purée, take the lid off, flip it upside down and press it into the top of the tube, it will pierce the foil so you don’t have to use scissors ❤
TAZ!! For tubes like the Tomato Puree which are sealed, if you take notice, the top of the cap of such tubes have a singular spike like thingy in them. Insert the cap into the tube the other way around and the spike will poke the seal and voila the tube is open (I hope this makes sense).
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS but I can't help but laugh when you said how much of a difference is there between parsley and basil... The flavours are very very different.. Watching you cook is so much fun 😂
I think you'd enjoy Shakshuka - it's a tomato based sauce with poached eggs. Great thing is that you can put in all your leftover veggies. I usually eat it with Couscous or some bread
My go to easy dinner is a bean burrito! A Tin of Mixed Taco Beans and a packet of microwave rice, and you can add seasoning (Paprika/Cumin or whatever you like). Heat it up and put it in a wrap with some lettuce and cheese :)
How do you make sure to use up the lettuce before it goes bad tho? That's what I'm struggling with. I'm the only one in the household who will eat Fresh leafy greens , so even if i eat giant salad bowls all by myself i can't get through an entire package in time.
@@Freaky0Nina good point! If I’m buying salad I just add it as a side to whatever meal I’m having that weak, even if it doesn’t go with the food, just to use it up. Also I always try and add something to it to make it more exciting like croutons/Salad dressing/cheese 😁 or I would try and have a wrap the next day and put it in there too!
taz and anyone else who don't know the easiest way to pierce the opening of a tube, on the top of the cover/cork there's a pointy part, you use that to pierce it.
About the tomato puree tube, this kinds of metal-sealed tubes, usually have a point for piercing the opening on the back of the cap. If you turn the cap of the tube around it will have a point you can push through the seal to open it.
I'm so proud of you Taz! When I learned how to cook, in the beginning, it took me so long to make a meal and now I'm way quicker. Eventually you will get the hang of it if you keep practising. It's all about baby steps❤
Yeah - it's a long process (maybe 10 years) until you're really comfortable - and even confident when you're experimenting when cooking. I've tried out going vegan a while ago, which was a lot more challenging because all your standard recipes are going out the window. You learn which recipes are worth the effort, to clean up (or not make such a mess) when cooking. A tip for spontaneous cooking - if you've got the staples at home you can substitute most of the unusual ingredients with them. Avocado Oil - Olive oil is a good substitute. Clear veggie oil has normally no taste and is more for baking or meals without a lot of spices. Soy sauce, vinegar, balsamico and oils - its enough to have one that tastes good, the difference is often minimal. I mean there is pumpkin seed oil - but that's more like a condiment. Good spices - depending on which cuisine you choose - maybe 10 to 15 are enough. And the add ons - seeds like sesame, sunflower seeds... and nuts (cashew, walnut...) are also nice additions that last long. And can a bit of pepp to an ordinary meal. Enjoy cooking!
The tahini is always this messy - the oil separates and collects at the top, you've got to mix it up before using. Other quick meals I like - basmati rice with fried cashews and vegetables in curry paste and coconut milk sauce. Vegetables you can use: leeks, sugar snaps, carrots, zucchini,... Spaghetti noodles with julienne carrots and other root veggies - like beetroot, parsnip,... fried with a cream sauce
Tips, 1. when adding spices always lower gas or move pan across to cold hob.(As spices need to be delicately warmed up) 2. Turn to high heat to heat oil, but then turn straight down to med or low then add onions 3. When chopped veg or onions on chopping board, cover/ hover over pan with chopping board and use handle hole to slide across chopped onions into pan, that way no hot oil splash back.
Definitely retry/modify the pasta dish with basil, it tastes really good! Personally, I'm not too fussed on parsley, but basil, mmmmm. Lovely! Also, are these 15 minute cooking, or 15 minute prep and cooking? It might make it a bit longer, but some preparation before cooking can make things go so much smoother 🙂
When you said the worst part about living alone was opening things you weren’t kidding 😂 I’ve never seen anybody open a tomato paste tube like that🤣 ilysm you make my day
Quick easy recipes: -Cacio e Pepe ; Pasta recipe soo easy and quick defo a 15min go to recipe! -Honey Soy and Garlic oven cooked Salmon in foil! Super easy and tasty! Love your channel! 💛
Listen up for that lunch recipe: get a slice of bread, cut around the crust but leave that crust in one part. Now whisk an egg or two, lay the crust in a buttered pan and pour the egg into it. Use a spatula to press the crust down so that the egg stays inside of it. When the egg is nearly done, but the bread in the middle of it as if you are puzzeling the slice of bread back together. Then flip around so that you toast the bread. Take it out of the pan, cut half an avocado into slices and put it on top of the egg-side of the bread. This is how you make avocado toast more difficult. I'm not even gen Z. It's good though.
Holaaa!! Late bc of finals lol So here's a few things for you Taz that may help! 1- The oil splashed bc aubergines have water so when hot oil and water mix up that's what happens! Next time try patting them with a kitchen towel or add salt to absorb the water. 2- When opening the tomato puree tube, instead of scissors try to do it with the tip of the cap. It usually has a little protrusion to do the trick so just flip it upside down and then add a little push and that's it. 3- Tahini has oil and fat so that's why it separates (you can see the oil at the top while the solids remain at the bottom) so to get it back to its creamy texture, either you put it in a food processor or simply whisk it till homogeneous. Love you and have a good day! :)
Yesss! 😍😋 it’s an Arabic dish called “Moussaka” مسقعة usually made with eggplants and tomato sauce and other countries put minced meat. It's so delicious. Happy you tried it 😊
I hope that you get to try the bruschetta pasta recipe with basil at some point….it’s an absolute different flavor than parsley. Like..completely different, nothing similar about them, well, except that they’re both green.
Taz please use the cap of the tomato puree to open the tub. (Turn it over, push that pointy end in to open the seal, then turn it around a few times to biggen the hole) What you did with the scissors freaked me out...
I do have an easy recipe for you: °cut some potatoes in small cubes + boil them *mix them up with some green pesto from a jar *cut a red bell pepper in halfs (they are boats for the potato mixture) *put the mixture in and sprinkle with salt and pepper *finally put chunks of feta on top and put in the oven 180 degrees celsius until the bell peper feels soft and the feta has crispy brown edges
Just a heads up the tomato paste you open the seal with the tomato paste cap just flip the cap around and push it in, also the tahini you have to mix it well before using
Tas please try the bruschetta pasta again with basil instead of parsley. They are completely different. Also you could try crumbled in feta instead of Parmesan.
I’m sorry taz but as a foodie I just have to tell you there is a big difference between yellow onions and green onions and there’s a big difference between basil and parsley 😅💜 different flavors
When your opening a new tube of tomato purée , take the lid of and turn it over , you’ll see a little spike in the top of the lid , push that spike into the top of the tube ….. taaadaaa it opens the tube xxxxx big hugs you lovely woman xxxx
This was very stressful to watch also xD But I love that you try new things :)! You were right about Mousaka and I still don't like aubergine but I love mousaka for some reason :) I love to make alot of oven dishes because it's easy to make and you can mealprep and put it in the oven when you want.
I don't even realise when you post a new video. I just see it on my feed and go "ah yes, Taz, must watch" I don't even check when it was posted until half way through.
Remember that tesco tuna salad you recommend once? I don't have tesco here so I looked up a recipe and it's really easy to make? It more or less fits in the 15min idea cuz it's prepared that quick; would recommend to give it some time in the frigde tho!
Try to stir the Tahini in the glass a bit next time you use it - the oil tends to sit at the top of the glass, but if you stir it around a bit, it's not so runny, but has more the consistency of peanut butter. :)
Taz I can't help but say use the other side of the lid on the tomato paste there's a point that pokes it open- Took me forever to realise this trick! Hope you see this! 💛
Hi there, just popping in to tell Taz that you can turn de cap of the tomato paste tube around and it’s open the tube. You don’t need scissors or any other dangerous cutting stuff. Great video btw ❤️
Taz, the tomato paste has a pin to punch the tube (it’s the outside of the lid). One side you screw on the tube and the outside (side) is to puncture the tube.
The pasta really look like "pasta fretta", translated "cold pasta". With that kind of things I reccomend you to let it cool down and you have a perfect summer cold dish!
Taz, before attempting to commit suicide with a scissor to open a tube of tomato paste, check the screw top. There should be like a pyramid thingy inside the (outer) top of that,just turn the top aroundand pierce the foil with that.
I might try some of these meals as I love a quick and delicious recipe. Yep your repertoire will be larger. Plus your attitude and energy make these videos fun.
Omg the scissors to open the tomato purée 😂😂😂 I thought using the cap was common knowledge 🤣 also if you are gunna use scissors hold them in your fist right at the end where you’re piercing it, not at the handles far away where you have no control!
👍. Some ideas: Spaghetti (I like whole wheat angel hair) with sauteed ground beef (or tvp/veg meat-type stuff), onions,garlic, mushrooms,a bell pepper, a canned, jarred or homemade marinara or tomato sauce, parmesan. I also like to chop fresh broccoli or about a cup of frozen, saute a clove or two of garlic and a little minced onion, fresh ginger, toss in the broccoli, push to one side of the pan, sometimes add an egg and cook, toss in the cooked pasta, basil, and a good amount of grated parmesan for a super fast bite. Lifesavers for throwing together quick meals: onions and green onions, garlic, frozen onion/pepper blends, herbs fresh and dried, sour cream or yogurt, parmesan, soy sauce, tomato paste, gochujiang and chipotles in adobo, mushrooms, eggs, sausage like chorizo and pepperoni (a small amount flavors the whole dish), veggies that cook up quickly like cabbage or preshredded cole slaw mix undressed, broccoli, brussels sprouts, a frying medium like butter,oil, fat, saved drippings or mayonnaise (yep. Works if you're out of butter or oil), and a little prepping precooking things like dry beans and potatoes, sweet potatoes, eggplants (aubergine), chicken, and keeping them in the fridge, and of course having pasta like ramen and angel hair which cook quickly. Any combination of a few of these makes a super quick meal.
Next time when you cook prepare all the ingredients like they do on cooking show, so that nothing burns while you try to open a jar or a can. Also, to avoid oil splattering on you, try adding the ingredients at a lower height. I used to be afraid of adding anything to hot oil and then I learnt that I was throwing stuff from a distance and that made the oil splatter.
My favorite quick food is to make chicken wrap. So here is what I do. Normally at the beginning of the week I sort of cut lots of chicken into nice little cubes and freeze them that way whenever I need it it is already cut. I take it out, defrost it in the microwave and then I season it. I normally use garlic powder, a little onion powder, salt, pepper and I have this ready made chicken spice that I use, and a little bit of paprika powder (not a lot I am not good with spice). I also just peel a few garlic and mince it real quick. I put the any available oil in the pan and put my garlic in it. It really gives a nice flavor and after 1 minute or so I put the chicken in the pan and cook it really nicely. Once they are done I put in a nice bowl and put my favorite cheese on it along with a little bit of any sauce that I am craving at the time mostly ranch or bbq and then I mix them all. I then cut up a few pepper 🫑 these ones but not just the green ones a few different once and cook it for a while in the same pan I cooked the chicken in and once they are done I take my tortilla put the peppers and chicken on top and wrap and heat it up a bit. It is very saucy, garlicy and creamy with a good amount of flavor. You can adjust it to your liking. It takes very good to me and it takes around 15-20 minutes. I have done it a lot of times at this point so I am fast in making it.
Hey Taz, quick tip :) next time you make the noddles, add a tablespoon or two of hot water and mix the peanut butter and water first until light in colour then add the other things results in a much lighter less heavy eating :)
Hope your okay, you should have put toothpaste when you burnt your self. Also, the tomato puree lid when you turn it upside down pierces the foil lining so you don't have to use a knife 😊 tc Taz. Always lovely to watch you!
When you realise Taz didn’t know that she could open a tomato lid or any other lid that is closed like that by turning the cap upside down and pushing on it 🤦🏻♀️ but we love you just the way you are.
@clickfortaz the word you are looking for is umami (all flavours blending together). I think most East Asian countries dishes target this perfect blend of tastes. It was a shock for me to use sugar or honey in my meat and sauces as well, now I’m hooked. Gotta put a little sweet to balance everything
A go-to quick meal in my household is a tuna pasta salad. Ingredients: any small pasta (like elbow pasta) 1 cup of yogurt (like greek yogurt or any plain yogurt) 1 small diced white onion (or how much you want to add) 1 tuna can (drained of oil) black pepper salt juice of 1/2 a lemon cherry tomatoes cucumber parsley Instruction: 1. cook the pasta (don't forget to salt your water and let it boil before adding your pasta) 2. cut the vegetables (onion, cucumber, tomato, parsley) 3. in a separate bowl put the lemon juice w/ the diced onion to mellow it's taste/spiciness 4. combine the yogurt, tuna, black pepper & the onion w/ the lemon juice 5. assemble, mix your pasta with the tuna + yogurt & tomato & cucumber 6. garnish with parsley & enjoy! (tuna + diced onion + lemon juice + black pepper & yogurt is good on toast or in a sandwich as well 😋) Cheers from Saudi Arabia👋
Taz you know the tomato puree- the lid, if you have a look at the top of the lid within the indense part it's got a pokey bit? Well that's there to pop the seal on sealed tubes. You're welcome 😊
Get some capsicum,mushroom,onion,tomato,minced garlic,salt,pepper and Hungarian sweet paprika. Chop the veges to your preference of thickness,Sauté it all down and then mix it through a pasta of your choice,or a potato mash. I prefer the texture of pasta. Fresh egg noodle or rice noodle will also taste really good with this. I take it you prefer non meat dishes but If you want to add meat to it, chopped chicken or beef slices would go well. It’s a Hungarian dish that I don’t know how to spell sorry. You can put a big knob of butter in and reheat leftovers and they taste just as good. Enjoy 😊👍
the tomato pure lid has a spike on the top to pierce the foil seal lol.. but food looks lovely darlin. your quite the cheif! ;-) bin cooking more myself, and organic extra virgin olive oil is the one!! odysea is the name. no strong fragrance and food tastes lovely and do wonders for you the next morning lol... :D’ should try, organic olive oil and jerk seasoning on raw wings, mix it together in a bowl and bake gas mark seven till bout an hour or till skins crispy!! just had it tonight and to die for!! forget fried chicken.. make your own chicken wings. and you know its fresh.. lots of love and hope you have a lovely weekend beautiful. Xx
Taz, you need a set of "measuring spoons" so you'll get the right amount. The spoons we use to have our meals and stir our teas is made and designed differently, therefore it won't give you the amount you actually need for your recipes. Hope this helps! xxx
Pasta salad are quick and easy. Boil fusilli,drain it. In a bowl ,add boiled egg, canned tuna,or sliced ham, fresh baby tomatoes, carrots,corns . Put salt, olive oil and/or salad dressing
Tax, learn the act of “mis en place”, it’s chef talk for “everything in it’s place” aka; Prep everything in bowls before starting to cook and it will help reduce the stress while cooking.
Taz just to let u know when u open tomatoe puree you support to use the lid to poke the whole for the puree if u flip the lid upside down you will see inside the top of the lid theres a little pokey thing anyways u flip it over and stab the whole so u can open the tomatoe puree
Usually, you can just open that tomato paste with the cap/lid. There's a little thingy for that sole purpose👌
All the food looked delicious, very inspiring! 🙌🦋🎉
Boosting this comment because she cannot continue opening it with a knife ! 😂😂
Lmfaoo right. I’m worried for her fingers 😅
Literally came to comments to say the same thing - please Taz don’t use the scissors
Yes. Turn the cap that came on the tomato puree around, there's a pointed end, put it back on the tomato puree tube with the pointed end pressing into the little foil seal. Lots of tubes are like this.

For the tomato puree, if you take off the cap, put it upside down and stab it into the seal it opens pretty easily.
If you're going to make a lot of American recipes I would suggest buying measuring spoons. Takes out the mystery of how much a tablespoon is.

just ordered the hoodie and i’m SUPER GASSED to be supporting you Taz. first ever youtuber merch for me !
i thought we all knew about the tomato paste lid also being the opener. either way, you did a good job!
As a fellow Greek I can confirm that the aubergine in Mousaka can either make or brake the dish, but when it works it's soo worth it👌
Holaaa!! Late bc of finals lol

Girl...I'm gonna need you to promise that you won't cook again without getting everything opened and ready to go. It makes life SOOOO much easier.
The basil would have really made a difference in taste. Maybe try that one again, I'm going to give it a go 👏🏼👏🏼
Yesss! 😍😋 it’s an Arabic dish called “Moussaka” مسقعة usually made with eggplants and tomato sauce and other countries put minced meat. It's so delicious. Happy you tried it 😊

Your videos are really refreshing Taz...thank you for just being you😍💯❤️🔥lots of luv ❤️
So happy to hear that you're cooking more!!
I was worried at first but a lot of these recipes look really good 😋❤️
parsley and basil, they are both leaves but taste wise… very diff😂
I do have an easy recipe for you: °cut some potatoes in small cubes + boil them *mix them up with some green pesto from a jar *cut a red bell pepper in halfs (they are boats for the potato mixture) *put the mixture in and sprinkle with salt and pepper *finally put chunks of feta on top and put in the oven 180 degrees celsius until the bell peper feels soft and the feta has crispy brown edges
Taz in the kitchen is a MOOD 🤌🏽❤️
How can she not lnow there is a spike on the end of the lid to peace the tub lol
Wow , Taz hasn't popped up for such a long time . Good to see you still there.

Hi Taz, quick tip for the kitchen scissors : put your parsley/tomato in a cup/mug and chop it in there. Much safer and quicker as well.
made my day with this upload 🤌🏻 love u taz!
this is honestly so relatable and helpful ✨

You were right about Mousaka and I still don't like aubergine but I love mousaka for some reason :)

Taz I can't help but say use the other side of the lid on the tomato paste there's a point that pokes it open- Took me forever to realise this trick! Hope you see this! 💛
Aw man I’ve been unwell the last few days and Taz’s videos always entertain me
Hi there, just popping in to tell Taz that you can turn de cap of the tomato paste tube around and it’s open the tube. You don’t need scissors or any other dangerous cutting stuff. Great video btw ❤️
I just made the noodles using your ingredients and it was soooooo good, thanks taz!
taz/editor - i hope you can do closed captions soon!! 😭 i live for subtitles
Taz, the tomato paste has a pin to punch the tube (it’s the outside of the lid). One side you screw on the tube and the outside (side) is to puncture the tube.
The pasta really look like "pasta fretta", translated "cold pasta". With that kind of things I reccomend you to let it cool down and you have a perfect summer cold dish!
YAYYY TAZ POSTED MY WEEK IS NOW HAPPY
Taz, before attempting to commit suicide with a scissor to open a tube of tomato paste, check the screw top. There should be like a pyramid thingy inside the (outer) top of that,just turn the top aroundand pierce the foil with that.
FYI Tomato puree tubes, usually have a spiky lid so you can turn it around and use the spike to poke the seal 😅
I might try some of these meals as I love a quick and delicious recipe. Yep your repertoire will be larger. Plus your attitude and energy make these videos fun.
Omg the scissors to open the tomato purée 😂😂😂 I thought using the cap was common knowledge 🤣 also if you are gunna use scissors hold them in your fist right at the end where you’re piercing it, not at the handles far away where you have no control!
👍. Some ideas: Spaghetti (I like whole wheat angel hair) with sauteed ground beef (or tvp/veg meat-type stuff), onions,garlic, mushrooms,a bell pepper, a canned, jarred or homemade marinara or tomato sauce, parmesan. I also like to chop fresh broccoli or about a cup of frozen, saute a clove or two of garlic and a little minced onion, fresh ginger, toss in the broccoli, push to one side of the pan, sometimes add an egg and cook, toss in the cooked pasta, basil, and a good amount of grated parmesan for a super fast bite.
Lifesavers for throwing together quick meals: onions and green onions, garlic, frozen onion/pepper blends, herbs fresh and dried, sour cream or yogurt, parmesan, soy sauce, tomato paste, gochujiang and chipotles in adobo, mushrooms, eggs, sausage like chorizo and pepperoni (a small amount flavors the whole dish), veggies that cook up quickly like cabbage or preshredded cole slaw mix undressed, broccoli, brussels sprouts, a frying medium like butter,oil, fat, saved drippings or mayonnaise (yep. Works if you're out of butter or oil), and a little prepping precooking things like dry beans and potatoes, sweet potatoes, eggplants (aubergine), chicken, and keeping them in the fridge, and of course having pasta like ramen and angel hair which cook quickly. Any combination of a few of these makes a super quick meal.
Next time when you cook prepare all the ingredients like they do on cooking show, so that nothing burns while you try to open a jar or a can. Also, to avoid oil splattering on you, try adding the ingredients at a lower height. I used to be afraid of adding anything to hot oil and then I learnt that I was throwing stuff from a distance and that made the oil splatter.
a good tip would also be to remove water as much as possible from the ingredients so the oil is less aggressive when you toss them in it
The lid of the tomato paste has an opener! 🤣 Taz you make your life so hard but it's funny to watch 🤣🤣
There is this pointy thing on the tomato paste cap. You have to turn the cap and screw it upside-down to open that seal. Hope this helps Taz.
My favorite quick food is to make chicken wrap. So here is what I do. Normally at the beginning of the week I sort of cut lots of chicken into nice little cubes and freeze them that way whenever I need it it is already cut. I take it out, defrost it in the microwave and then I season it. I normally use garlic powder, a little onion powder, salt, pepper and I have this ready made chicken spice that I use, and a little bit of paprika powder (not a lot I am not good with spice). I also just peel a few garlic and mince it real quick. I put the any available oil in the pan and put my garlic in it. It really gives a nice flavor and after 1 minute or so I put the chicken in the pan and cook it really nicely. Once they are done I put in a nice bowl and put my favorite cheese on it along with a little bit of any sauce that I am craving at the time mostly ranch or bbq and then I mix them all. I then cut up a few pepper 🫑 these ones but not just the green ones a few different once and cook it for a while in the same pan I cooked the chicken in and once they are done I take my tortilla put the peppers and chicken on top and wrap and heat it up a bit. It is very saucy, garlicy and creamy with a good amount of flavor. You can adjust it to your liking. It takes very good to me and it takes around 15-20 minutes. I have done it a lot of times at this point so I am fast in making it.
Is it cruel to find Taz torturing herself in the kitchen? At this point, chaos in the kitchen is amongst one of cherished talents 🤣🤣
I’m sorry but we need a new jumper with the slogan ‘ I tell ya what hun that was a bit dramatic ‘ 😂 that’s the famous quote of Taz ❤😂
taz! you can open the tomato paste tube from the little spike on the lid, it was extremely painful seeing you open it with scisssors 😭
One thing that helped me making meals quick is prep some stuff a different time I cook it. Whether is chopping veggies or like ahead making a sauce.
Try chakchouka girl it’s amazing and maybe do a series where you try 15min meals of other UA-camrs etc
Hey Taz, quick tip :)
next time you make the noddles, add a tablespoon or two of hot water and mix the peanut butter and water first until light in colour then add the other things results in a much lighter less heavy eating :)
Hope your okay, you should have put toothpaste when you burnt your self. Also, the tomato puree lid when you turn it upside down pierces the foil lining so you don't have to use a knife 😊 tc Taz. Always lovely to watch you!
15 minute meals for 24 hours… 96 meals?!?! 😂
When you realise Taz didn’t know that she could open a tomato lid or any other lid that is closed like that by turning the cap upside down and pushing on it 🤦🏻♀️ but we love you just the way you are.
Taz about literally everything:
"That's a LOT"
@clickfortaz the word you are looking for is umami (all flavours blending together). I think most East Asian countries dishes target this perfect blend of tastes. It was a shock for me to use sugar or honey in my meat and sauces as well, now I’m hooked. Gotta put a little sweet to balance everything
Not me with a peanut allergy staring at the 1st meal
There is always an opener on the upper side of cap in those kind of tomato paste tube
For the tube you can turn the cap upside (if there is a little spike) down en push it down and it will open
A go-to quick meal in my household is a tuna pasta salad.
Ingredients:
any small pasta (like elbow pasta)
1 cup of yogurt (like greek yogurt or any plain yogurt)
1 small diced white onion (or how much you want to add)
1 tuna can (drained of oil)
black pepper
salt
juice of 1/2 a lemon
cherry tomatoes
cucumber
parsley
Instruction:
1. cook the pasta (don't forget to salt your water and let it boil before adding your pasta)
2. cut the vegetables (onion, cucumber, tomato, parsley)
3. in a separate bowl put the lemon juice w/ the diced onion to mellow it's taste/spiciness
4. combine the yogurt, tuna, black pepper & the onion w/ the lemon juice
5. assemble, mix your pasta with the tuna + yogurt & tomato & cucumber
6. garnish with parsley & enjoy!
(tuna + diced onion + lemon juice + black pepper & yogurt is good on toast or in a sandwich as well 😋)
Cheers from Saudi Arabia👋
Taz you know the tomato puree- the lid, if you have a look at the top of the lid within the indense part it's got a pokey bit? Well that's there to pop the seal on sealed tubes. You're welcome 😊
Get some capsicum,mushroom,onion,tomato,minced garlic,salt,pepper and Hungarian sweet paprika. Chop the veges to your preference of thickness,Sauté it all down and then mix it through a pasta of your choice,or a potato mash. I prefer the texture of pasta. Fresh egg noodle or rice noodle will also taste really good with this.
I take it you prefer non meat dishes but If you want to add meat to it, chopped chicken or beef slices would go well.
It’s a Hungarian dish that I don’t know how to spell sorry. You can put a big knob of butter in and reheat leftovers and they taste just as good.
Enjoy 😊👍
the tomato pure lid has a spike on the top to pierce the foil seal lol.. but food looks lovely darlin. your quite the cheif! ;-) bin cooking more myself, and organic extra virgin olive oil is the one!! odysea is the name. no strong fragrance and food tastes lovely and do wonders for you the next morning lol... :D’ should try, organic olive oil and jerk seasoning on raw wings, mix it together in a bowl and bake gas mark seven till bout an hour or till skins crispy!! just had it tonight and to die for!! forget fried chicken.. make your own chicken wings. and you know its fresh.. lots of love and hope you have a lovely weekend beautiful. Xx
Taz, you need a set of "measuring spoons" so you'll get the right amount. The spoons we use to have our meals and stir our teas is made and designed differently, therefore it won't give you the amount you actually need for your recipes. Hope this helps! xxx
Pasta salad are quick and easy. Boil fusilli,drain it. In a bowl ,add boiled egg, canned tuna,or sliced ham, fresh baby tomatoes, carrots,corns . Put salt, olive oil and/or salad dressing
Tax, learn the act of “mis en place”, it’s chef talk for “everything in it’s place” aka; Prep everything in bowls before starting to cook and it will help reduce the stress while cooking.
Taz, u open the Tomato puree with the lid of the tube. Turn the cap upside down and press down until it pops open. 👍🏼
what taz does is not easy...I'm busted/down n' out in south east asia...watch my descent
Love this! I was laughing so much when you added Tahini (it's made from sesame seeds - your favorite!) :p
Also the topside of the cap of the tomato purée generally has a piercer to open the seal
Taz just to let u know when u open tomatoe puree you support to use the lid to poke the whole for the puree if u flip the lid upside down you will see inside the top of the lid theres a little pokey thing anyways u flip it over and stab the whole so u can open the tomatoe puree
The swapping basil for parsley 😭😭😭 it is an essential ingredient trust me try it again with basil and it will be 11/10
For the spicy peanut noodles, I would add about a tablespoon of lemon juice and chopped up cilantro. Yummy! 😋
And maybe some frozen veg (to keep it simple) and some tofu for protein
