🍴 Gorgeous recipes

Was lovely - enough left for sarnies and a lamb curry :+1:

Could post this anywhere, really.

Just had a lovely walk and BBQ with family. Beef rib, pork ribs, chicken two ways, steak, homemade burgers and sausages. And tiger prawns. Washed down with Salopian beers and a decent Rioja. And all enhanced by the warm glow of a Saints comeback win from 0-2 down. :grinning::grinning:

Quarantine food in Singapore is better than Malaysia.

That looks good apart from the red stuff, which should be brown, preferably HP brown

It would normally be HP but as I didnt have any the red stuff had to be used.

Amazing how you made a lager out of those makings…genius :wink:

Surely a cuppa goes better with the sarnie though?

I dont drink cuppas and it was half past 4 in the afternoon so a beer was in order.

Lager is only liquid bread so it is possible :smile: :grin:

Amusing tip on Saturday Kitchen. Take any Italian dish. Add cinnamon. It’s now Greek. :rofl:

Sounds great. Curry night for me. Passanda for Mrs S who doesn’t like it hot and Jalfrezi for Shroppie, who does.

Plus a few onion bhajis and a saag aloo. Can’t decide between naan, parathas of chapatis.

All home made, of course.

Since being poisoned in Marrakech I just can’t cope with cinnamon in savoury food.

All was good. Very good. As was the accompanying Salopian beer. :grinning::beers:

Ooh, I bet I could tempt you, but it involves ‘rrrrubbing your meat’ so to speak

MoT’s sadly departed German Gran’s recipe for spiced pot roasted pork

Very simple, and delicious

Go to the butchers and get a nice chunk of Pork shoulder - (avoid the rolled and stringed stuff from supermarkets as when you take string ff you have very thin bits of meat) - you do not want skin and you want most of the fat moved, but not all

Make small little cuts all over the meat and then rub with salt and fresh ground pepper… and then with Jamaican allspice or just all spice - enough to make the surface look brown

Using a nice ideally cast iron pot big enough to have accommodate your meat with two inches all round to spare

two table spoons of veg oil and get that hot, teh brown meat on all sides - proper brown so caramelised, and milk chocolate colour

Add in 2 finely chopped onions and stir to avoid them burning but also brown off

Add 8-10 whole cloves

Add 2 bayleaves

Add boiling water so that it covers 1/3 of the meat and then turn heat right down so its just simmering

cover with lid and simmer for 3hours turning the meat over at half time. top up the liquid with water to same level every now and agin

When ready, t meat will be VERY tender and almost fall apart, trick is to get out just before this stage so it can still be sliced.

Remove meat from pot

Now bring the liquid to boil… add 2 teaspoons of allspice

Reduce by 1/3 then thicken wit a little corn flour

Gravy should taste brilliantly meaty with a hint of exotic spice…

Best served with new pots, and spiced red cabbage
