Spending time with ourselves is one of the best things in the world. With all the self-isolation going on, we tend to get involved in plenty of deep-dive cooking projects. Mostly those projects we actively avoid during our busy days because they consume a lot of time. However, here are four cooking projects you can do to keep you busy during these social distancing days.
Homemade Yogurts
Making yogurt at home is relatively easy as you’ll most probably have its two crucial ingredients in your fridge. With milk, some store-bought yogurt containing live active cultures, heat, and a few minutes, you can make jars of your sweet and tangy yogurt.
Smoked Pork Shoulder
If you’re fortunate enough to own a smoker, this is the right time to get outside and use it. Use low heat and generous seasoning to transform pork shoulder into a tender, flavorful pile of pulled pork.
Nixtamalized Corn Tortillas
The process of making Nixtamalized corn tortillas involves cooking and soaking dried corn kernels with some slaked lime. Your tortillas will have a savory flavor, fine texture, and will have plenty of nutritional value.
Homemade Cannoli
You’ve probably have had a rough time looking for good cannoli at the bakery. Fortunately, cannoli is quite easy to pull off at home. The secret is to start with the freshest, best ricotta available. Although the process may take you hours, you won’t resist the sweetness once you’re done.
