Good Dumpster Cooking

A blog about cooking with trash.

Month: March 2019

Pesto Chicken and Asparagus with Cashews

Since I’ve been sick for the past few days I’ve been eating mostly frozen meals, dried fruit and little ice cream cones. The little ice cream cones are great because even though they’re melted when we find them, the ice cream is coated in a chocolate shell that keeps it intact until they can be… Read More Pesto Chicken and Asparagus with Cashews

March 25, 2019

This weekend I came down with shingles* and foolishly convinced myself I was not too sick to go dumpstering. Basically I wound up shaking and struggling to continue working, unable to resist the potential for more cookies, and we only stopped at one place, but that worked out fine. Despite feeling exhausted and being unable… Read More March 25, 2019

Pork Gyoza

These are premade frozen gyoza, which I actually took out of the packaging and washed because something had gotten on them. I think it was probably a broken egg, because I found a bit of shell in the new bag after freezing them. Normally I wouldn’t keep something like that, but it’s hard to refuse… Read More Pork Gyoza

March 18, 2019

It was a somewhat sparse night, but a good night for pork. I think this was the first time I’d actually found a pork product other than bacon. Each of us went home with a little over a pound of pork tenderloin, some bratwurst, and tamales. We split a box of bean protein bars and… Read More March 18, 2019

Bacon-Wrapped Steak

I don’t have a lot of experience cooking meat, and was brought up to overcook it, because, you know, it’s safer. Steak is something I don’t have very often. But since I managed to dumpster both a couple of top sirloin steaks and a pack of bacon, I decided to see if I could do… Read More Bacon-Wrapped Steak

Rice Cooker Orzo

This is a recipe I normally make with couscous, but since I have orzo instead, I’m going to make it with orzo. It’s a one pot dish that involves putting the bowl of the rice cooker directly on the stove. If you’re not sure if your rice cooker can do that, it’s probably best to… Read More Rice Cooker Orzo

Soy Chorizo Tacos

I’ve bought soy chorizo in the past and if there’s one thing I remember about it is that it stains everything red. The sausage is also kind of already crumbled inside the casing, so the sausage shape is really just there to make it look more appealing to customers. If you fry it in oil… Read More Soy Chorizo Tacos

March 11, 2019

It was the first relatively warm night of the year, so we found other people out picking through the trash wherever we went, somewhat reducing an already light haul. The trash went out a bit later than usual. There was a lot of boxed-up broken glass, and I wondered if that was why. But a… Read More March 11, 2019

Bergamot Sorbet

A bergamot is a citrus fruit; a type of bitter orange, grown mainly in Italy. The name “bergamot,” somewhat confusingly, is also used to refer to a few types of bee balm, an herb in the mint family native to North America, which is named after the citrus due to the resemblance in its scent.… Read More Bergamot Sorbet

Salmon with Lemon, Artichoke & Polenta

Last week I found my section of the freezer was completely full with meats, vegetables and fruit we’d dumpstered over the past few months. I decided to make more of an effort to use that stuff before it started to piss off my roommates (who don’t usually have any food in the freezer, but that… Read More Salmon with Lemon, Artichoke & Polenta
