      Mine is very tasty but too hot for my liking from the peppercorns. Is there a way to make it less hot? A special kind of pepper? Maybe in the us the pepper is different? My black pepper is just kind of hot and it made the whole dish bitter. (if you cook black pepper it gets bitter that's why you use it only after cooking i was always told) Next time i'll skip it because other than that - the taste, the texture, the color of the dish was perfect. I learned a lot from it so thank you for that! And polenta is perfect for it i wouldn't have it any other way.

      Since you seem to love italian recipes, you should do a "Patate riso e cozze", which is something typical of my ends (southern Italy). It'd be cool to see your version since it is a tricky dish to get right.

    There's not a single source for cooking, either on the web or on print, that I have used so many recipes as I have from FoodWishes. Your channel and web site have improved my cooking game 100 fold in the last 5 years or so since discovering you. I don't even look up some recipes anymore. Your information has made me a better freehand cook even. I almost never eat out anymore. Even when we do, it pales in comparison to what we make at home. Just wanted to give you the props you deserve, Chef John.

      I imagine the hardest part is getting overwhelmed and not being able to stop watching as part of the choosing.
      I used to do a lot of long water-only fasts for health. I'd read cookbooks and watch cooking shows a LOT. One's appetite actually turns off. It's exciting looking at all the delicious meals to come.

      I think i screwed it up, cuz it's the sort of dish i should love..but, i felt like the flavor was just too strong. And, it was more from the wine than the pepper..(maybe i used the wrong wine..a cheap cab)
      so, i bet your modification(1/2 stock) would improve the flavor bigtime.
      Unless you think i in fact used the wrong wine choice?

    • @teedub9295

    • @clintondavis3363
      @clintondavis3363 3 года назад +20

      ​@@disf5178 My two cents worth is that recipes like this (which is similar to "braised short ribs") can get too strong for many a palette, and not everyone likes the texture of short ribs, as well. Note when Chef John starts pulling off chunks of the beef to eat, you can see some connective tissue that has not broken down - my wife would have a problem with that texture. I find that long reductions of large quantities of a wine and beef stock mixture can get a bit bitter. Helen Rennie, on her channel, suggests a red wine with moderate tannin and acidity, noting that the wine will reduce quite a bit and may get bitter. You can also use a dry white wine. Myself, I just go easy on the amount of wine. I think that the tomato paste and garlic can add bitterness too, so be careful not to burn those types of ingredients. Store-bought beef stock should be low sodium, but might also get a bit strong tasting upon reduction. You can use beef broth and a bit of gelatin to be safe. If you find that the sauce you made did get bitter, you may be able to save it by adding some water to dilute it, as well as some sugar to balance the sweet. You may need to adjust for salt. Just some thoughts - best wishes

      Teal'c If you eat too much salt, the extra water stored in your body raises your blood pressure. So, the more salt you eat, the higher your blood pressure. The higher your blood pressure, the greater the strain on your heart, arteries, kidneys and brain. This can lead to heart attacks, strokes, dementia and kidney disease."

    Hey, if your going to try this, I would recommend splashing out on a fairly decent bottle of wine for this recipe! My girlfriend was the first to try cooking it and she used a bottle of wine someone probably paid her to dispose of. While it tasted like it could taste good (if someone with any culinary brain cells had rustled it up), her version tasted vinegary and bitter (which happens if you use cheap plonk as a base for a dish). A couple of weeks after, I saw this on the history, watched it and cooked it myself. I used a really juicy garnacha from one of the new spanish vineyards, which, on its own, was totally gluggable (and glug indeed we did!!). The sauce went from vinegary and bitter to sweet and really rich! Delicious and a recipe I later wrote down with a few additions of my own! 5 stars with decent wine!

    • @arthas640

      yeah i kinda figured that was BS since pepper only became a cheap ubiquitous spice fairly recently (as in post WW2). Using pepper to cover up the flavor of low quality meat before the Age of Exploration (he says it pre-dates the discovery of tomatoes) is kind of like using saffron to make your hotdogs seem more like sirloin by making them redder, or using shredded $100 bills as insulation to get your heating bill down

      Gotta say that the workers that invented this dish also made world famous bricks and tiles. I'm sure they could afford pepper. Beef on the other hand is not something that stays fresh long and they did not have fridges back then. So it makes sense. I hope you all realize that kings and queens of only a couple hundred years ago could not eat as well as even homeless people in the United States. Lol Thanks to advancements in transportation, genetics, refrigeration and even the internet, food science and supplies are top notch and we live in amazing times. Just figured I'd chime in since you guys wanna get technical. XD Even royals would consume old meat back then. The point being that just because you were wealthy, didn't mean you ate fresh meat every day. So yeah.

It's not beyond the stretch of imagination that black pepper was probably more common for italians than the rest of europe.
