Nuu’s: “Hobo's Delight” Mulligan Stew

Greetings Eorzea citizens! I am Nuu, Queen of the Lalafell hobos! I come before you today, proud, to introduce the culmination of many years of collaboration between the finest hobo chefs: “Hobo’s Delight” Mulligan Stew!

1 Cup of mineral water
1 Popoto diced into cubes
1 Wild onion cut into wedges
1 Lbs. Rat Tails diced
1 Cup of Sour Red
1 Teaspoon of table salt
1 Coerthas Carrot peeled and cut into 1-inch slices
1 Iron Sallet (Any Sallet, returned to CUL after synthesis)

Here’s the trick: sometimes simple is better! My subjects and I have been perfecting the ultimate stew with simple ingredients that can be found anywhere off the streets of Ul’dah. This dish is easy to make and tastes better than any of the fancy dishes created by the snooty chefs at The Bismark.

I use my trusty Iron Sallet as my cooking pot. I slowly brown the diced rat tails and add 1 part water, sour red, and a dash of salt. This boiling process lets some of the natural flavor of my helmet combine with the diced rat tails as they tenderize. I then add the popoto cubes, onion, and carrots lowering the heat to a simmer. When the vegetables are tender, the stew is ready!

Don’t worry, a little heat won’t hurt the Sallet and it’s ready to be used again after the cooking.

Bun’s “Twice the Spice” Cajun Jambalaya

As a chef and connoisseur of the spiciest of spicy foods, I’ve whipped up my latest and greatest new recipe: “Twice the Spice” Cajun Jambalaya. This dish is hardy enough to fend off the toughest colds, and strong enough to warm any heart. My patrons are always clutching their chests and tell me how their hearts are burning.

Antelope Shank cut into ¼ inch slices.
Wild Onion diced
Potion of Vitality
Tomato Sauce
Dragon Peppers
Finger Shrimps
Sticky Rice
Firepot

You wanna start by the tenderizing the antelope shank before you cut it into ¼ inch slices. Saute the meat with the diced onion, and Dragon Peppers. Don’t be afraid to punch it up with some dragon pepper seeds! Add a potion of vitality, and a little bit of tomato sauce. When this mixture starts to boil, add the Raw Sticky Rice. This is when you want to slowly pour the contents of your Firepot in. Store bought Firepots are good, but to really get fresh Firepot, you need bludgeon your own Wisp. I recommend a Bomb Frypan! You want to stir every 5 minutes, letting the rice cook and simmer. Towards the last 5 minutes, you want to add the shrimp. Serve with strength and conviction!

My Jambalaya packs a powerful kick going in and coming out. Speaking of which, unfortunately after the food effects wear off, you may take some burn damage over time.
