Jesus that sounds good

 

[Edie]

Sweet potato, chickpea and chicken curry, with (inspired by Eids) homemade naan/s.

Ooh I started off wanting to do naans, but they looked a lot more advanced so went with chapattis (also didn’t have yoghurt, was slightly surprised that was an ingredient tbh!). Good luck! Xx

They do just the set menu every weekend. We've had stuff from them twice and they were both in my Top 5 meals I have ever had. Expectations are high!

Is this valentines?

 

[fucthest8]

Is this valentines?

Yep! It's normally £25 for one or £45 for two, but in the spirit of self-care for Valentine's it's £20 for one and £45 for two nice gesture to turn it on its head

Absolutely smashed a Cote du Boeuf this afternoon.



Served with green beans, dauphinoise spuds, and a cranberry and Calvados reduction.

Possibly the best piece of meat I've cooked.

Oh I forgot to get yogurt the other day, so it'll be yogurtless naans, which I've never done. They might turn out more like chapattis tbh

 

[May Kasahara]

Kids are having frozen pizza, we're having duck stir fry.

 

[nogojones]

I have a sorry looking aubergine in the fridge and some fresh basil that's on it's last, so it'll probably be a sort of ratatouille, with spaghetti and parmisan.

 

[Badgers]

Beef and Stilton pie with peas and gravy.

 

[The39thStep]

Left over chicken and rice

 

[Maggot]

Veggie shepherds pie and roast cauliflower. The mince is a Beanfeast/lentil combo.

Lashings of red wine, as I've worked 6 days this week, I owe it to myself.

How was that cooked?

How was that cooked?

Really well.

 

[Edie]

Really well.

My daal stacks up tho right?

I’d eat your daal. I wouldn’t eat that boeuf.

 

[Elpenor]

Toast - one buttered, half peanut butter, half marmalade, more ritz crackers

Glass of Bitter shandy.

 

[RubyToogood]

My turn for the sweet potato rostis with salsa, guacamole and green beans. Definitely a winner.

 

[Spymaster]

How was that cooked?

The joint was from Hartes Irish Butchers in Harlesden. Best value butchers in London (that’s a 1.3kg single forerib for 12 quid).

Marinate in a roasting bag full of oyster sauce and garlic powder overnight in the fridge.

Take it out of the fridge in the morning when you wake up and bring it up to room temp. I left it in the bedroom because our kitchen is freezing.

Pre-heat your oven to 200.

Loads of sea salt on each side of the rib then sear it in a smoking hot frying pan for 3 minutes per side (you think this’ll burn it but it doesnt, trust me) then stick it on the top shelf of the oven for 15 minutes for rare. If you’re weird and like well cooked beef do it for a bit longer but we’re talking minutes here. 25 minutes will be past well done for a 2 inch joint. You have to rest the meat and because there’s a hot bone in it, it’ll keep cooking for a while.

Take it out of the oven, double wrap it in foil and keep it warm (back to the bedroom).

It’s been trial-and-error but I’ve fucking nailed this now and the above is the way to do perfect, rare, CdB.

Make sure the butcher cuts the rib “large”, meaning there’s the same amount of meat on each side of the rib you buy. Some will cut it “small” meaning you only have meat on one side of the bone. That still works but I like to marinate my meat, rather than half a bone.

Oh god I'm so full

 

[Maggot]

I must admit I was disappointed with Kevin pie. I had to try it, for obvious reasons, but I wasn't even quite sure what it was meant to taste like, let alone what it actually tasted of.

Whilst I quite like the Kevin, I have since tried the Mooless Moo and prefer it despite the stupid name.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Last night we had chinese hotpot with lamb, beef, tofu, fish cubes, pak choi and broccoli.

The two bases miso and an insanely hot Sichuan one!

Tonight is an M&S meal deal.

 

[colacubes]

Pizza last night cos we’d been busy all day and cba to cook. 1 x Marinara with extra anchovies and 1 x Nduja with peppers.

Tonight is beef and Guinness stew with parsnip mash. Gu melting middle puds for after

Out of interest, what does the Mooless Moo taste of?

 

[LeytonCatLady]

A Birds Eye beef grill with spuds, broc and carrots.

 

[Maggot]

It tasted like a steak and ale pie to me. But I haven't eaten meat for a long time, so I could be wrong.

 

[sojourner]

Disappointing pizza last night. If there was beef or green pepper on it beneath the slew of cheese, you'd be hard pressed to find it!

Spirali cheese, roast toms/courgette/mush/garlic for tea tonight.

Double-choc brownies for afters, mmmMmm

 

[cybershot]

Some m&s deal for 2 £20 combo. Didn’t have the potatoes in so a bit pissed off about that.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Houmous and ryvita I think, or might do some curry.

 

[Elpenor]

Cold cooked chicken and vegetables I think.
