Paid Members Thunderplex Posted April 20, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 20, 2019 Hickory Smoked Turkey. Took just 3 1/2 hours on my beloved Weber. Juicy as hell. American style green bean casserole. Fucking rank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members mim731 Posted April 29, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2019 Can't remember if I posted if inhere last time I made it, but came out much better this time. Jaffa Chocolate Drizzle Loaf. Mostly very pleased with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 29, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2019 Really enjoying "mexican" stuff recently. Done tacos a couple of times. This was from Saturday. Used and El Paso spice mix (mild BBQ one) and added beans, peppers and onions and sweet potato (just because it needed eating) to their soft tacos (which are bloody lovely). My new favourite thing in the world. No way I'd have touched peppers and onions a year ago, wouldn't have tried anything spicy either. So glad I've started expanding my palette. Had a cracking burrito in town yesterday too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I love the soft tacos. So much easier to eat than the hard ones which I'd been failing to eat properly for years. I'm going to have butternut squash and feta cheese ones tonight. I make my own spice mix for it using ground cumin seeds, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, chilli powder and crushed garlic and a little bit of oil. I roast the butternut squash in the oven covered in the spice mix and then chop up some peppers, leeks and mushrooms and try them. Once the butternut squash is done, I mix it all together, chuck some spinach in the tacos, add the mix and feta cheese and some guacamole if I've got it...... and now I'm hungry.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted April 29, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 29, 2019 Hard tacos are an abomination. My mum had an electric taco press lying around (she used for an Indian dish). I started making my own soft tacos. It's pretty time consuming, but very easy. Although I couldn't find the right flour in shops and had to buy it on Amazon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted May 16, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Not quite cooking but the other week I froze some oat and raisin cookie dough I had left over. One of my knobhead kids was moaning this moaning about the selection on offer for pack up so I baked these from frozen in 15 mins. Genius. Think I might go into the cookie dough business. Edit: I'm leaving that typo in. It's how you say it in Hull anyway. Edited May 16, 2019 by tiger_rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted May 22, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted May 22, 2019 Over in the Health and Fitness thread (I think?) @tiger_rick mentioned butternut squash. I made one of the recipes I described: Squash, sweetcorn and red onions roasted with rosemary. Tossed together with cooked pasta, balsamic vinegar and oil then some grated Parmesan. Wholesome.

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted May 24, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Excited to be doing a 24 hour sous vide BBQ pork shoulder for the bank holiday. Liquid smoke, good quality rub, the whole lot (well, apart from an actual BBQ). Few recent things. I've been using the water bath a lot recently. Did a chilli garlic chicken and a butter chicken from scratch weekend before last with all the sundries. Seven bloody hours in the kitchen, but I have base sauce for months now. Found the wonders of anchoor powder, which is basically tamarind on steroids, so used a lot of that to give my chilli garlic a nice sweet and sour twist. Did my own spice stock for it and sous vide chicken thighs in a yoghurt spiced marinade for the curries. Just crisped them up in a hot pan with ghee after the water bath. Also, (pictured below the vacuum packed chicken) made a 24 hour sous vide brisket last weekend along with my standard roast trimmings. Appalling picture, but the beef was magnificent. Finally, another Coq au Vin, which remains one of my top 3 mains to cook and eat. Could go through gallons of the sauce. End results of the curry (that's the chilli garlic chicken with home made bombay aloo) Homemade pizza tonight too! I will post results this eve.

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted May 25, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 25, 2019 Here's the bad boy shortly before going for a 24 hour bath. Rub of paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano, mustard seeds and coriander seeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted May 28, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2019 Some poor bastard has to try and follow Gus and that poor bastard is me! My sister-in-law bought me a 3 in one Doughnut/Waffle/Brownie maker recently. We got it dirty for the first time yesterday. It's very easy to put too much mixture in but it made lovely little doughnuts. We did some Strawberry shortcake inspired ones for after tea last night too. They were awesome.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted May 28, 2019 Moderators Share Posted May 28, 2019 I don't get a chance to do it much these days due to limited time, but I made a big batch of pepper and onion sausages this weekend. 40 of them (around 2kg) .Hopefully enough to keep me going for a little while...
