Paid Members Nexus Posted April 12, 2020 Paid Members Posted April 12, 2020 Originally planned to have lamb and orzo for dinner, but realised we didn't have any orzo. As a result, it was decided to make a kind of souvlaki - which necessitated home-made pitta bread: Then made home-made Tzatziki to go with it, had corn on the cob, salad, fruit rice and roasted peppers/onions; it was really good!

They're from Binging with Babish: My tip would be to not skip the brown butter step and to make sure you take the butter all the way to the point of brown - it's tempting to take it off the heat too early. Brown butter completely changes the flavour. Smash burgers this evening: And biryani last night: Edited April 12, 2020 by Chunk Quote
Paid Members BigJag Posted April 13, 2020 Paid Members Posted April 13, 2020 @Chunk are those cookies the soft and chewy kind? They do look pretty superb. Quote
Paid Members Chunk Posted April 14, 2020 Paid Members Posted April 14, 2020 They're crisp with a very slight chew in the middle. Might be a bit chewy if you baked for a shorter time though? Quote
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted April 14, 2020 Awards Moderator Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) If you want to understand how to make soft vs crunchy cookies, this article is the business. Proper nerdy stuff (I've made the resulting cookie recipe and it's fantastic) : https://sweets.seriouseats.com/2013/12/the-food-lab-the-best-chocolate-chip-cookies.html Edited April 14, 2020 by Onyx2 Quote

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted April 16, 2020 Moderators Posted April 16, 2020 Been having a few bbqs whilst trapped at home with nice weather. Yes it's a brioche bun, no I don't care what you think about that. Quote
Paid Members Chunk Posted April 17, 2020 Paid Members Posted April 17, 2020 Cheeky little Jaipur too. Cheese burgers and hoppy pale beer ... can't beat it. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted April 17, 2020 Moderators Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) I put some mushrooms on skewers with garlic butter all over them and put a pan of chopped courgettes and chorizo on as well, so all that red juice is the oil from the chorizo that the courgette cooked in. I also had sliced onions with the chorizo too. Edited April 17, 2020 by Chest Rockwell Quote
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted April 20, 2020 Awards Moderator Posted April 20, 2020 If you're doing a spot of baking but struggling to get the full ingredients list, this image has some decent substitutes. (I'm linking, not embedding because it's huge.) https://i.redd.it/rjo1k6snewt41.jpg Useful for things like trying to bake but you don't have eggs. e.g. 1 banana = 2 eggs. Quote
Paid Members mim731 Posted April 20, 2020 Paid Members Posted April 20, 2020 Been doing a fair bit of cooking over the past few weeks, to quell the boredom if nothing else. Gave the recipe @Chunk provided a go (adapted slightly), came out really well and made for some lovely soft chewy cookies. Thanks! Been messing about with bread a bit too. Did a vegan soda bread (for experimental purposes). Bit dense, made it with oat milk, but very tasty. I also did the big old lockdown cliche and made some sourdough. It wasn't quite what I intended, but still happy it came out edible and very enjoyable, lessons learned for future bakes though. Tries Harissa Shaksuka on the weekend, which was dead simple but very filling and reasonably healthy too. Would reccomend. Had a go at a red miso ramen, which I've been meaning to give a go for a while. Took a bit of messing about to get the eggs right, but happy with the results. Too many fresh chilis on top though, went a bit overboard. Finally, we did our favourite treat breakfast over the weekend with chilaquiles which are tortillas cut up and fried and then cooked a second time in tomatillo salsa. I'm not sure this is the most authentic recipe necessarily, but with a poached egg and some feta it was bloody marvellous even if it doesn't look that appetising in this (pretty poor) picture. Sorry for the big photo dump, this has been about two weeks worth, keep forgetting to upload them on the rare occasion when I actually cook vaguely interesting things. Quote

Sounds like perfect hangover food. Quote
