On occasion I prefer to print out recipes (YES I belong on the insurance commercial about how not to become your parents!) Is there a way to do this?
Answered by Lynn Clark
Hi Shawn - If you are looking at the recipe on a laptop or desktop computer, there is a black and white button to the left of the ingredient list that says, "Print." If you're using a smartphone or iPad, you can simply print as you would any webpage or document from your phone. Hope that helps! Best, Lynn C.

I believe I saw Matthew Card making a Szechuan Pepper recipe with beef chunks but can't find the exact recipe. Anyone remember the exact title for this?
Answered by Lynn Clark
Hi Patricia - I \think\ it's this recipe for Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. I'm pretty sure this is the only recipe with both beef and Sichun peppercorns that we've done on the show. If it's not this one, let me know! Best, Lynn C.

We do not have a grill; it would be helpful if you included broiler instructions (heat level and time, etc.)in recipes that can be adapted. This omission excludes me from trying many of your recipes.
Thanks,
Jean D.
Answered by Lynn Clark
Hi Justi - I don't know specifically how the broiler works with your electric oven, but most electric ovens have a broiler setting that heats an element at the top inside the oven. Good luck and enjoy the recipes! Best, Lynn C.

Can I use brown rice pasta as a substitute for regular pasta in Spaghetti Puttanesca
Answered by Lynn Clark
Hi Anthony - I would not substitute for gluten-free pasta in this particular dish. Since we use a smaller amount of water in order to use the pasta starch to thicken and concentrate the sauce I would be concerned that the rice pasta would get stuck together and become mushy. Generally speaking, gluten-free pasta is best when cooked in a lot of water (5-6 quarts) and stirred often to keep from sticking together. Also, there is some concern that there is arsenic present in rice so you'd want to drain the pasta and not use that water in your finished dish. Hope that helps! Best, Lynn C.

Hi, I see many recipes like this one https://www.177milkstreet.com/recipes/orecchiette-with-sausage-and-chard that call for "sweet or hot Italian sausage, casings removed". Since I always have ground sausage in the freezer, would that make for a decent substitute? Would I need to add any extra flavor to make the recipe work? My January goal is to use up everything in my fridge/freezer/pantry and do as little shopping as possible!
Thanks,
Carrie
Answered by April Dodd
Carrie - if you have ground sausage (i.e., sausage meat without a casing), then you are already one step ahead! You can go ahead and use that sausage (once thawed, of course), without needing to add any extra flavor. We simply give this recommendation to clarify that you don't want sliced or whole casing-bound sausage. - April D.

Am a longtime recovering alcoholic and thus don't keep any spirits around the house. Recently read a recipe for lemon couscous I want to try but it calls for 1/2 cup dry white wine. I know the alcohol burns off--that's not the point. I don't care to be around any spirits. Anybody got experience with a good substitute? Thanks for your time.
Answered by April Dodd
Patricia - you definitely have easy options to replace alcohol in the type of recipe you're referring to. (Is this a Milk Street recipe? I don't believe we use white wine in any of our couscous recipes, but please let me know if I'm mistaken.) As with any time we think about substitutions, the first step is to consider the work that the ingredient in question is doing. In this case, a dry white wine is contributing moisture content, plus a good amount of acidity and mild sweetness. So, for a substitution, you'll want something that does that same job. There is an easy option here: try 1/3 cup water, plus a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice or white wine vinegar, plus a teensy bit of honey whisked in, will be a perfect replacement. Give that a try and let us know how it comes out! - April D.

I do not generally keep sour cream in my refrigerator, but I always have plain yogurt. My current favorite is Stoltzfus. It is high protein, with that lovely layer of cream at the top. I also keep Fage in my fridge almost all the time. (Which is made here in Fulton County, New York)
So can I exchange either of these for sour cream in recipes, especially your one crust pie recipe?
Answered by Lynn Clark
Hi Diana - As long as the fat content of the yogurt is similar to the sour cream, you can definitely substitute. I probably wouldn't substitute nonfat yogurt, though, since it lacks any fat and often has stabilizers added that might behave differently in a recipe. Good luck! Best, Lynn C.

This is a non-consumer friendly website. I can't even do a specific search. One needs to go thru all the recipes to try and find. I may have the shortest subscription of Milk Street yet only a few hours if I can't figure this out. I wanted to find the Lasagne Bolognese recipes from the TV show and it is impossible. I am giving up.
Answered by Evan Petto
Hi Donn,
Thanks for your comment. There are two ways you can access the search function. You can access the search function via the magnifying glass on the top right hand of the site (on any page), as well as the dedicated recipe search on the top right of the home page. Both options are shown below.

Hello Milk Street Friends,
I will be salting a big turkey for Thanksgiving. Maybe 22 lbs, that is what I did last year. I will pick the biggest freshest most organic one I can get. I lost my salting instructions from last year. How much salt per pound do I use. I know Diamond Crystal Kosher is the best. Last year there was some baking soda in the salt rub I think for browning, but I do not remember how much. I am not sure if you recommend using spices in the salt rub, but if you do I would welcome your suggestions. The turkey will be butterflied and cooked with an apple-cranberry glaze. I love to butterfly a big beast with my giant meat saw. Anyway, how much salt per pound and baking soda or spices if recommended? Thank you so much and Happy Thanksgiving!
Answered by Lynn Clark
Hi Craig - It sounds like you have a pretty good turkey plan in place! We've only got a couple of turkey recipes here at Milk Street and they are both all about simplicity. Neither involves a brine, but the Tea-Rubbed Maple Turkey has a salt-smoky tea-white pepper rub. In that case we are using a 12-14 lb. turkey and using 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of white pepper, and 6 bags of lapsang souchong tea, rubbing the turkey, and letting it sit for 24 hours before roasting. However, I don't think our tea rub follows the recommended formula, which is 1 teaspoon of kosher salt per pound of turkey. No baking soda involved in that recipe. Our other turkey, Brown Ale Turkey and Gravy, is basted with a flavorful (salty) liquid while roasting so no need to brine/salt. I think if you want to stick with your plan you'd want to follow the general recommendation of 1 teaspoon of salt per pound. Happy Thanksgiving! Best, Lynn C.

I was listening to a Milk Street Podcast and Christopher was talking about a pulled pork dish that he makes frequently in an instant pot. It had pork shoulder, onions, and about a half of a cup of not too spicy seasonings. Does this sound familiar to any of you? Thanks.
Answered by Lynn Clark
Hi Carol -
I had a chance to check in with Christopher and he based his recipe off this one: https://www.177milkstreet.com/recipes/ethiopian-chicken-stew-doro-wat. You can make the chicken version of the recipe as it was developed or try his simple pork version: "sauté three onions with a bunch of Berbere (1/3 cup or so) and then add 3 lbs boneless cubed pork shoulder, 40 minutes on high pressure, let sit for 15 minutes after cooking and then release steam." Chris didn't specify if he also adds the 3/4 cup water from the recipe, but I would recommend it so you don't get a burn error in the Instant Pot. Good luck! Best, Lynn C.
