Thread: Dinner

Did you cut the crusts off your sarnies?

That's a bit gay.

And yes, i have been a wife a long time ago and i can cook.

While it's nice to see you making an effort an Betty some of your attempts are painful to see, I always find the BBC site useful when want new ideas, just type in chicken, pork, beef, fish or whatever you want to cook with and hundreds of recipes for each going from basic to some more challenging ones.

BBC - Food

Here's an easy leg of lamb dish I do, bloody lush.

Shame you can't get into the spirit of the thread and post photos of what you cook though!

Stalk and troll other threads Gravey.

Well fuck a Duck this came out of the oven today cooked rather than in the raw state it was in when taken from the fridge.



After the wife had finished off the rest this is what was served

A red wine reduction would have been dead simple and just improve it outta sight.

It's ramadan at the moment, so what better to throw on the BBQ around breaking fast time but some aromatic, sizzling pork bellies.

Nearly right

Roast Duck Pan Jus / Sauce

INGREDIENTS

1/2 glass red wine or dry sherry
1 cup water
2 tblsp plain flour
Salt & pepper

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

Roasting Pan with juices left in bottom after Roasting a Duck
Clear heat-proof jug
Wooden Spoon
Measuring Spoons
Small Saucepan
Sieve

METHOD

Whilst the duck is resting, pour all the fat and juices from roasting whole duck into a clear heat-proof jug.
Pour red wine or dry sherry into the roasting tray to deglaze and bring to the boil.
Add water and return to the boil. Scrape all the sediment on the bottom of the roasting tray, this is your stock.
In the jug, the juices will be at the bottom and the fat at the top.
Take 2 tablespoons of fat and heat in a small pan, add 2 tablespoons of plain flour and mix well.
Slowly add the stock, stirring well over a medium heat until all the stock has been added.
Approximately 400ml makes a good consistency sauce.
Remove the excess fat from the juices in the jug and keep the fat for roasting your potatoes.
Add the juices to the sauce, taste and season with salt & pepper if required, strain and serve.

CHEF’S TIPS

The excess fat separated from the juices in the jug should be kept for cooking the world's best roast potatoes.

Each to their own

I like Duck best straight from the oven with crispy skin,happy with that.

A good dinner is plenty for me so we/ I don't piss about with starters as a rule.



Fair enough I ate the prawns and crab sticks but passed on the somtam,I do still fancy it now and again but not before a Roast

Something to note!

A Thai can mix any food and call it breakfast,lunch or dinner.

I knocked up a light meal tonight ,, tasteless pre cooked chicken from Iceland , my spuds were nice though from my garden

Then for afters the wife,s been going on all week about poxy malaang and stawberry + cleam

Lovely fare, Nige....

But, those square plates.

I got half a woody looking at those Brussels sprouts, duck looked alright to. Onya gravey

However points deducted for frozen sprouts and not sure if the cauliflower looks like its come from Iceland ?

If I had no duck gravy , I think I would have knocked up a bit of thinned down beef gravy sweetened up with a touch of either left over redcurrant jelly from xmas or a spoon of seedless raspberry jam , that would have moistened it all up nicely oh yeah plus a yorkshire pudding ( not from frozen )

The sprouts may not look all that but all of the veg is from fresh.

I've never bought frozen veg and at the moment I would have no where to put it anyway.Only bought a small fridge when I came back with the little freezer bit at the top,couple of packs of fish fingers and its full.

My old freezer would of consisted of meat bread and various storage tubs of left over dishes etc.

Nothing wrong with that mate all men love sprouts.

I take no credit for any of that crub,well I did rub a bit of salt on the bird before I shoved it in the oven but soon left wife in her domain.

Dare say a Brussel is a rarity out there,I could never find any
