What's for tea tonight? (#8)

I really want soup with noodles and veg and a shitload of chilli/ginger/garlic/lemongrass etc to kill this cold, followed by pancakes with lemon and sugar.

Giro day is tomorrow though so just have to make do with what's in the fridge, which is a reduced steak & ale pie, brussels sprouts and some yellowish broccoli.
 
What I have decided should be called Chicken and Chorizo Vindloo
Follow the basic details as per here:-
Chicken Vindaloo Recipe - Food.com
Idiots, dried ginger powder?
Fuck off!!!!
Yep do the chicken as she says, BUT, but use the thighs, cheap as chips, lots more chickee flavour fat etc
Given em a browning, starting in a dry pan, well low heat, they will produce the flavour/fat in which you will cook the veg
Pick em out, notice how some of the skin is stuck to the pan? Drain off excess fat
Ace, more stock
get the chikee bits out, cut them open, take the bones with attached bits of flesh etc, put them in a big pot, add boiling water simmer - that's yer stock
Chop fresh ginger, garlic and chillies (not too many mind - well your choice tbf), onion, pos a leak in there, really really slow fry
In the meantime...
Take the pieces of chik, cover them in Turmeric, Chilli, Dhaniya, slat , black pepper with 3 caps of vinegar, mix vigorous yea?
The veg will begin to soften and flatten, cuck in ye chorizo - which ye have prev cut intro small pieces, then perhaps 3 v small toms, chopped up green beans (not a classical ingredient I know, but it healthy _ and I personally know that many Goans will do this with seasonal green bits - keep it on simmer level fry
After 15/20 mins, tip yer chickee vinegar mix in and yer stock
Let it simmer for around an hour to reduce and intensify the flavour
Its taken me 4 hours so far, those I expected to come eat it have called off, ah, more for me eh?
Am about to bugger off down the pub for a bit, come back sort some rice........
I have really enjoyed this.....perhaps time for professional help?
 
Tuna bolognese with lemon zest and parsley, wholewheat spaghetti and garlic bread. Victoria spong for dessert (small slice!)
 
I deliberately only made a third of a standard batch of batter in the end so that I wouldn't have to stand there for hours cos it'd all be gone after a couple each :p *cunning* :thumbs: but then my son had two of his mates round, so I ended up making another batch anyway :facepalm: My girl thought it was hilarious, obv :mad:

Tonight we're having fake KFC chicken wings, paprika/herb wedges and broccoli and then we're sharing a two person steamed salted caramel pudding and a tin of custard.
 
'Mexican' wraps containing seitan, mushrooms, chilli, ginger and red peppers fried in smoked paprika and cumin with a few splishes of habanero sauce plus a chunky beany salsa: Black beans, tomatoes, onions, chilli, lime, cucumber, coriander, ginger and garlic. Proper fucking zingy :cool:
 
Ok in retrospect - only have as a side dish! Got the worst wind- not surprising after 75 cloves of garlic....what was I thinking?

:D

I once ate a whole bulb raw to ward off a cold (I was about to go on holiday and didn't want it ruined) and did a poo that smelled so delicious I had to call my then boyfriend in to smell it. (He wasn't as impressed as I was.)

It doesn't digest well. Sounds like a delicious curry though.
 
Woah! My 100 clove garlic curry was intense! It made my nose run....it was also delicious and recommended for anyone who loves garlic and has a cold.

Massively impressed with your dish! bravo. Looking at the recipe again, I imagine you need a decent pot to cook the garlic properly. I'd be scared with that much I would burn it.
