Thread: Dinner

Meat looks great, though the slice of beef tomato and the solitary cherry tomato look a bit incongruous. Sour cream on the potatoes?

Not a beef tomato, it is an heirloom from my garden as is the cherry, I just added those for my own consumption. Not trying to go with a restaurant presentation.

That's how we roll in the US.

That cherry tomato looks a but lonely.
Nevertheless, a nice meal.

I bet it could tell some stories. Mostly about those allergic to veg.

Beef looks good.

Looks delish Snubs. I have to say, I had my fill of excellent Beef and salmon during my recent visit to Napa. I gorged a bit too much. I haven't craved any beef sine I returned 5 days ago. But seeing the pics, will getting something on the Grill Friday.

Yeah PAG. Some like it all the time, I enjoy it on and off on my tater but it makes for good taste with REAL butter and even some bacon bits and chives.

Indeed, a favourite of mine also, was asking because it could have been cottage cheese, a not unknown addition to a baked potato. A rich cream coleslaw also works for me.

That sounds dang near perfect...It's kind of a mix between German potato salad and loaded baked potato.

Tomato is in there for the colour composition. Gay but common.

Meat looks perfect

Tonight, a Chicken Jalfrezi, with a Matar Pulao basmati rice.

First off, frying some finely diced onion and cumin seeds for about 5 minutes.



Then adding some chopped garlic and ginger, continuing frying for another minute or so until you smell the aroma.



Then the chicken pieces go in (thighs in this case), to be coated with the base mix.



Then a few powdered spices get added, coriander, paprika, turmeric, garam masala, chilli, salt and pepper, fried for another minute or so before adding tomato puree to which some tomato paste has also been added.



At this point, the curry starts to darken in colour to a dark reddish brown, and chopped red and green peppers plus onion get added, along with a spoon of rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sriracha sauce.



Another 5 minutes in the pan, and she's done.



It was a toss up whether a splash of ordinary cream or coconut cream was going in, the ordinary won.



Couple of naan breads out of the freezer, warmed in the microwave, and topped with melted butter and garlic.



First time making this particular rice, very tasty, and went well with the Jalfrezi.

Inspiring PAG!

Nice PAG but cream/coconut milk?

Indeed, with Indian curry, a spoon or two at the end of either full/sour cream or yoghurt, with Thai a drop of coconut milk adds some depth to the food.

Visa finally came through this week. No thanks to the Brexit dinosaurs and assorted populist retards. Not yet for my wife, mind.

In 25 days today though we will be eating _____________ for ________ € in _____________ , which will be our new abode for the next 2 years on Hal's round the world EFL tour.

I was thinking about a steak, but it never got cooked, so I fancy a curry now...

My wife is now making Kanom Chet or Dim Sum and I had a 10 of them for my dinner entre last night.

She normally serves them with a black soya bean sauce but I added some Sriracha sauce to give it some spicey kick. (about half, half mixture)

I firstly put them in the microwave for 2 minutes from frozen, then covered them with cooking oil and then into the air fryer for 5 minutes on high and they come out crispy.

Perfect and now going on the menu including the mixed sauce.

You know what they say about pictures

^ Formally I could post pictures Mike but unfortunately something went wrong and now my computer won't allow me to do so. FIIK.

I reckon the pics will have a few possibilities, so we'll have a TEFLtastic guessing game on the dinner thread.
