villa4europe Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I made the only sensible and edible part of thanksgiving - green bean casserole Made a roux (which I'm terrible at) bit of Worcestershire sauce, s&p, touch of paprika, garlic, mushrooms and beans in, cook a little, in to an oven dish, panko and parmesan on top and roast for 20 mins Did go whole hog about 5 years ago and did the homemade stuffing, sweet potato mash with marshmallows the lot and found it way too much trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Nice madras @Follyfoot I’m currently waiting for my missus to hurry the **** up home so I can get stuck into this, chicken Goan curry with spinach. And a paneer version for the lad who’s a veggie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Mississippi hot pot 1.2kg piece of beef, salt pepper, seared, then throw in some apple cider vinegar, mayo, paprika and dill, splash or Worcestershire sauce, beef stock, pepperoncinis and some of their pickling juice, good chunk of butter, cooked at 120 for 5 hours Was good, the acidity of the pickling juices gave it a tanginess that set it apart from a lot of other dishes, no real spice to it just a nice mellow heat, beef was perfect, pulled apart perfectly, half way through was expecting it to be a bit fatty given all the butter but it was ok The mayo is weird, the culinary masters that the yanks are the original recipe is based on a branded instant gravy packet and a packet of ranch dressing so the mayo was a recommended alternative, you could probably do without it or go to something like sour cream but that's even more acidity, I'm sure you could put more green herbs in it than just dill too One downer on it was the wife insisted it was served with rice, would have gone better with some good crusty bread or creamy mash potato 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Tonight I'm cooking about 1kg of Moroccan chicken, using my Dad's recipe. Delicious! Will post pics when I'm done (probably of the house half incinerated). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 I just had a burger for lunch and it was yum. Thin cut turkey, then a basic Tesco no meat burger, then Stilton melted on the top, then a couple of splashes of piri piri. Bloody hell the urge to just go and make another one and smash through that one as well! 10 / 10 Will be banging again soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 New book for Christmas, The Curry Bible. So spent yesterday procuring a fantastic array of spices and whipped up a nice turkey jalfrezi last night. There’s some brilliant recipes in it, street food, classic curries and British Indian restaurant dishes. I’ve made up 3 litres of base sauce and a tub of special spice mix, ready to try a plethora of dishes. My wife will be pleased that her sense of smell still hasn’t returned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
