NurembergVillan Posted March 29, 2009 Moderator Share Posted March 29, 2009 Now I'm back living in this country I've started having a go at roast dinners and in typical me style I want to try and make them a bit more exotic. I've followed a Jamie Oliver recipe of putting garlic and a lemon in the chicken and that added a nice flavour, but what if I wanted to get quite a strong flavour into the meat - say chilli etc Would I need to leave the marinade under the skin overnight? I tried putting it straight in the overn but the flavour didn't soak into the meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 29, 2009 Moderator Share Posted March 29, 2009 Never done that with a whole chicken tbh Rob but have you tried the Garlic and roaemary pushed into a leg of lamb trick? Just make slits in the lamb and push in slices of garlic and small sprigs of rosemary, then roast as normal That's always a winner if you like lamb of course I usually do that with roasted sweet potatoes instead of normal ones, and whatever veg takes my fancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Tonight, in Sainsburys, they had ready made pancakes on sale half price, so being experimenting. Rocky road filling worked really well, chocolate spread on the inside, then added a small handful of chopped glace cherries, some walnut pieces, some marshmallows I had lying about and some broken digestive. All melts and becomes gooey anc chocolatty inside. Ideal with simple vanilla ice cream. Also did ones with chocolate spread and just added marmelade for a slight bitter/sweet orangy chocolate taste. Nice, bt you'd not want too many..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Just had a simple yet excellent idea made a normal macaroni cheese, butter, plain flour, milk for the roux, then add more milk. Then cheese. Add cooked macaroni. But then, add black pepper and a liberal helping of crushed red chillis Mmmmmm, cheese and chilli goodness :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerlad Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I had something similar but without the homemade bit...macaroni cheese out a tin.... Still worked though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJA1703 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Been working a bit now uni is over so can afford some decent grub finally. Cooked up a red pepper, asparagus, fried beef stir fry with a side of garlic glazed roasted new potatoes. Nicest meal all year. Forgot how nice asparagus was. As MON would describe it, it was "terrific". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olejniker Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I made a rather simple pasta dish the other day, boiled some linguine and then fried it with onions, celery and shrimp. Tossed the hot pasta with some parmesan and mozzarella cheese, and the resulting gooey mess made for a good snack in front of the telly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shambles Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Just had a simple yet excellent idea made a normal macaroni cheese, butter, plain flour, milk for the roux, then add more milk. Then cheese. Add cooked macaroni. But then, add black pepper and a liberal helping of crushed red chillis Mmmmmm, cheese and chilli goodness :-) I also add some semi-cooked broccoli florets, whack it in an oven proof dish, top with a mix of grated cheese and grated bread and bung it in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until the topping is crunchy and brown. Got that bit from an Asda magazine and it's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Inspired by the pie thread, just made up a pastry base. Fried up some mushrooms, blanched some leeks browned some walnuts, made up white sauce with flour cream butter and then added some blue cheese, and its all baking now...... I'll let you know what its like in about 30 mins...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaretMahoney Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I wanna learn how to make an Alfredo sauce from scratch.... I also want to learn how to make Jalfrezi and/or any other curry dish from scratch. I'm pretty good at putting rice a cooker and browning chopped chicken, then mixing and heating Patak's curry sauce in a pan. Recently started making naan from scratch, that has turned out well.

Yes mate. I make a mean burger, with jalapenos and cajun spice mix. They are delightful when BBQ'd. I can't see why you'd buy burgers for the BBQ after eating homemade. Homemade are tastier and cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
