Christmas Tree 4851 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 You won? Did the others just shite on the plate and stick an iced gem on top? Aye, we were pretty surprised too. Ours was the Christmas edition so it was basically a Christmas dinner! The entertainment was good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4851 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Came in from a long days work, pondered what to have for tea and within no time had thrown together Lamb steaks, garlic mash and honey roasted carrots. A year ago it would have been straight to the chippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4851 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) Nice bit of pork rubbed with crushed fennel seeds. Was going to copy Jamie and serve with diced stir fried celeriac ...... But on peeling I quickly discovered that this is the root of celery (who knew?) and we all hate celery.

Monkeys Fist 43115 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Celeriac mash with a bit whole grain mustard in is bloody lovely tbh. Make it with a little potato if it's too much "grown up's" flavour for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4851 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Rice. I understand why I should rinse it before cooking, but why does it need rinsing after cooking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15738 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I tend not to bother unless it looks a bit starchy and claggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Rice. I understand why I should rinse it before cooking, but why does it need rinsing after cooking? It doesn't. Give it a wash and a massage before you cook it (until the water runs pretty clear). Drain the rice, whack it in the pan with a bit of salt, a drop of vegetable oil and anything else you want, such as cinammon stick, fenugreek seeds, star anise, saffron, cardamom pods - basically whatever flavour you want it to take on. Pour on some freshly boiled water from the kettle, enough to just cover the rice. Bring the pan to the verge of boiling, then stick on the on the pan (I like to use aluminium foil under the pan lid to create a proper tight seal). Turn the heat down as low as it will go, then leave it for 12-15 minutes. Take off the heat and leave, without taking the lid off, for a further 5-10 minutes. No washing needed, just perfect fluffy, individually grained rice. You might need to experiment with the amount of water and how long you leave on the heat, but once you have a method that works for your pans and hob, you're laughing.

Brock Manson 0 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 You can also bake rice - fry it with some onion, carrot & celery then pour in enough veg stock to cover. Wrap tightly with foil and bake for an hour/ until the water is absorbed. Chef who first trained me used to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Aye, baking it makes sense, as it's gentle consistent heat. It's amazing how many people think rice is just something you whack in a pan and boil to fuck. I have a mate who claims to "love" rice, yet his fare ranges from crunchy under-done grains right up to mashed rice. It's piss easy to make, but piss easy to mess it up if you don't think about what you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausman 0 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Same thing as above but fry some onions first then add rice cook for a bit then add chicken stock, proper chicken stock not from a cube. Do the same as you would with BW method of cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4851 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Just had a bash at this fancy rice lark. Chopped an onion a carrot some garlic and ginger. Fried in a pan before adding the rinsed brown rice. Covered with chicken stock, lid on for 15ish minutes til water was gone. Tasted bitty so covered in more boiling water and simmered til that was gone. Still bitty - Bin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15738 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Seriously though, you know brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice, right? Whatever method you're using. It's on the packet and that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
