I can't find the post I made about it before but I wanna reiterate, if you want to learn how to cook but don't have anyone to learn from (which is best, imo, but not everyone has that), watch Good Eats. There's like over 16 seasons and most of it holds up in terms of food advice. However, there were some corrections over the years (addressed in Good Eats: Reloaded), and some of the humor is kinda dated and cringey. Alton Brown knows his shit, though.
There's a number of reasons why it's good:
Even if the episode is about something you might never make, cooking is about applying a series of techniques to different foods. Many of those techniques are adaptable to other foods.
He recommends budget-friendly options even if he advises you to spend money on something. Although some of his homemade gadgets or hacks are kinda silly, some of them are worth trying.
Good Eats focuses on the science of food so he doesn't just tell you how, he tells you why. If you're like me, you have to know why or else you won't be convinced.
If you have Max or Food Network you can already watch all the episodes streaming. If you don't, you can find each season pretty readily online in various places streaming and uh downloadable. I don't want to call out where but if you know you know, and if you don't I suggest you read this.
Oil
Pita
Some salad, olive oil and lemon
Yoghurt, cucumber and lemon
Chillies
Pickled red onions
Method:
Start by mixing together your spices. Add a glug of oil to your mushrooms and then sprinkle the spices on top. Mix well to coat every bit of the mushies.
Now grab a skillet and a bit of oil add in the mushrooms. Add something heavy on top, like another pan or a bowl and press down, let cook for 3-4 mins until charred slightly and then flip the mushrooms and repeat the process.
Now mix together your salad ingredients in a bowl and your yoghurt ingredients in another bowl.
Heat up your flatbread, load on the salad and yoghurt, then the mushroom shawarma and then top with Chillies and pickled red onions and ENJOY!!
