Christmas Tree 4438 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Was that in the book, was it? I fancy getting that book, are they on sale anywhere in the Town? The Works is usually good for its constant Closing Down sales. Surely Gemmill must be finished with his by now and know them all off by heart, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34093 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Anyone tried the Jamie Oliver recommended combo of cheddar drizzled with honey and sprinkled with crushed coffee beans? Sounds dodgy but it actually works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Got bought the Jamie Oliver 15 minute meal book for my birthday. And in other news, just done the food equivalent of shagging a prossy. White bread, Lurpack butter, Fried Egg, Grated cheddar cheese. (Followed by four squares of cadburys chocolate). I feel satisfied but dirty! There's a cracking curry in there. I eat the Tuna dish a canny bit (with lemon and chilli) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13595 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 The Book People ( www.thebookpeople.co.uk ) are doing it for a tenner. I notice they also have '300 beers to try before you die' for a fiver which might be a canny stocking filler for any beer monsters... Canny, ta. Will get one for me mother as well since she's always eating the same 4 meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15115 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 A frankly heroic first effort at recreating a bit of Sri Lankan street food without the intense searing chilli pain the local takeaway insists on adding. Followed this recipe, using double the garam masala (as I couldn't find chaat masala), frozen coriander instead of fresh, and adding a small amount of finely cubed lamb just before the tomatoes went in, which was timed well enough to cook it to a decent moistness. As for the parotta themselves, you can use any kind of roti-style flatbread really - the local Multi-Ethnic Food Shop happens to stock roti already frozen and pre-chopped, which is superbly lazy and only to be encouraged. Rather like the root veg curry the other day, it comes out looking a bit like random stuff in a bowl: ...but the flavours are just superb, with the chilli kick (I used one small green chilli for the quantities described in the recipe, which was enough for an initally sharp then nicely smouldering heat) offset by the smokiness and near-sweetness of the spices, the curry leaves and even the onion and tomato. I am so getting laid tonightOur taste buds are very, very happy right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 That's quality Meenz. Can taste it from here. I've got to stop just chuking masala spices at everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Made one of those bampy "in from the pub, what's in the cupboards?" sort of meals before and ended up with a tuna madras with wholegrain rice. Pleasantly surprised, for something that just involved stirring a few things together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Full rack of ribs in the oven. Rubbed in my own BBQ Dry Rub (which is a secret ) and added some BBQ sauce (thanks Alex!). Serving with sweet potato & onion rosti and some roasted vine tomatoes: 1 grated sweet potato 1 onion sliced very thinly 1 tbsp sriracha 1 tbsp BrockBQ Dry Rub Glug of sundried tomato oil Just fry for 10 mins until it comes away from the pan then flip over to do the other side. Downloading Cabin in the Woods. I know nowt about it as is apparently a prerequisite; bet it's shite. Ribs won't be though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4438 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Best steak for a stir fry? Have used fillet before but a tad pricey. Are sirloin, rump or some other able to create a similar melt in your mouth experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 The more expensive the better, the principle of a stir fry is to cook on a high heat, very very quickly so you want top notch beef that is best when its red in the middle (not pink, pink is over-cooked). Best you can afford basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) Best steak for a stir fry? Have used fillet before but a tad pricey. Are sirloin, rump or some other able to create a similar melt in your mouth experience? You can get away with cheaper steak if you cut it in this slices and let it 'cook' in some white wine vinegar for a couple of hours. But essentially CG is right. If I'm going for a really spicy one (with chilli oil to fry) I go for a good meat as you don't want the chilli oil in the pan too long (2min max). Fry the meat alone for 1min constantly moving it and then drop in the veg for 1 min. I've got some strips of chicken breast marinating in vinegar, spices and crushed ginger. Grill later with lashings of lime juice and butter. Serve in pitta bread with red onion and capers. Afri cola to wash down.

Monkeys Fist 41318 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 As its a stir fry, you'll need less meat than you'd imagine, so splash out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I've consistently achieved decent results with a slab of rump. It's easy to find fairly lean rump steaks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac-Toon 1 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 A bit of help required here, if you'd be so kind. We're going to "the inlaws" for Christmas Dinner & for some reason I volunteered to make stuffing & pigs in blankets/devil on horseback. Do you have any easy recipes for the stuffing? Preferably one without sage in, as it's the work of the devil & can be overpowering. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
