I feared the worst after HWs comment but it turns out 42 days wet bagged and it melts.
Actually, wrt HWs comment, its from a farm i go to and they have red deer and i thought he'd mixed up order but am happy its boeuf and OK at mates rate for £3 :)
Take no notice mate. That's at least on par with Chitty's.
The only way is up....
You should have seen those tentacles flapping around in the pan, it was as if it had come back to life.
I reckon Withnail would be on that like a car bonnet:)
Disgusting, you should all be banned...
^^ i wasted 1/2 pint of beer last night in the garden because i couldn't stop randomly laughing at that picture. Trouble is you just know there is at least one depraved individual on TD that was having naughty thoughts about that
beside me....
Sunday Roast today, Hal will be cacking his keks...

Surely I have redeemed myself?
I've never posted a pic of a steak before as I know how emotive it can be.
Last night we had two completely overdone T-bone steaks... they were good exercise for the jaw muscles!
Everything happened at the same time, and while I was trying to melt the cheese on the potatoes and strain the veg, the steaks burned. I have no idea how to coordinate a meal like this.

One egg broke... so of course that was mine.

But the pudding was great... Marshmallow Surprise!

The ketchup is a nice touch:)
^ That was the surprise!
A bit overdone maybe, but still a good meal - I want a T-bone steak now...
^ The steaks should rest for a few minutes before serving to let the juices suck back in.
Don't be afraid to plate the steak first whilst sorting all the other stuff out.
good tip Bogon, :) Big difference to cutting into a nice steak that has rested and one that has not..
Resting doesn't matter if you cook your steak to the consistency of shoe leather. :)
Another Sunday in the kitchen for PAG. Whilst shopping a few days ago, spotted some whole chickens, which admittedly I've not been looking for what must be quite a few years. M'Sahib doesn't eat meat, so typically I buy just a few breasts (chicken that is). Anyway, thought that I'd go for a whole one, and after I'd had my fill, pick the carcass down for sandwiches for later in the week.
Set about prepping it this morning, with a mix of herbs (rosemary, kafir leaves, stick of lemongrass, a whole lemon that had been pricked and microwaved for a minute) stuck in it's ass, smeared with olive oil, salt and pepper).

Going for a mix of roast vegetables and herbs, in this case chopped carrots, onions and garlic (with their skins on), drizzled with olive oil and a bunch more herbs (rosemary, chopped chives, lemongrass, kafir leaves). The chicken will sit on top of the veg in the roasting dish.

Once they were in the oven, set about the roast potatoes. First peeled then steamed them for 10 minutes. Drizzled more olive oil over them, added a few more sprigs of rosemary, then into the oven with the rest of the veg and chicken.

Basically that was me apart from knocking up a red wine sauce. Almost forgot, made a roasted cauliflower puree earlier, ready to be warmed up before serving. Before roasting the cauliflower, sprinkled with olive oil and dusted with ground cumin and paprika for a bit of bit. M'Sahib swung into action having decided on a Tom Yam Goong sided by some Som Tam, part of which she was going to take around to one of our neighbours.

Have to admit, I'd forgotten how tender and flavoursome a whole roasted chicken is when compared to even a well cooked breast or leg.

Very nice PAG, bones and some carcass meat for a chicken soup?
Well done, PAG....

Last night: a platter of lamb and veggies with beetroot mash

Too many ales led to the need for a lazy pizza as an early dinner
