Knocked up the Hooroo lamb shoulder last night, have to say the results were amazing. Served it with a roast carrot salad and a pearl couscous salad and it went down an absolute treat.
Forgot to take a photo of the finished product, so you will have to settle for one I took with about an hour to go...

@barbarian looks good mate, very jealous! I like to rip the lid off and crank the heat for the last 30mins to get that char on the top - next time send us a video of you pulling the bone clean out of the meat, there is no better moment!

Tonight's dinner was lemon mustard chicken, hassle back potatoes, and steamed greens. Accompanied by a cold Reisling. Not bad even if I do say so myself. Takes a shitload of tweaking to get the sauce right

Oh that looks sooooo good. I think I am going to have t do that, this weekend with a goat shoulder.

I had lamb shoulder as well last night but couldn't be arsed lighting the big kettle BBQ for one so I butterflied it made a rub of smoked paprika, allspice, cumin, coriander - smoked it in the wok for about 25 minutes over tea and star anise and they crisped it up on the griddle.
Served with oven roasted (no fat) baby spuds from the garden and beans also from the garden. Accompanied by a garlicky chill tomato (all from garden) sauce I knocked together.
This lockdown things a breeze
and some @Machpants inspired Gin cocktails.

@mariner4life Yep. Goat is massively under-rated, although to be fair, I only like it slow-cooked. I watched a Jamie Oliver show where he did goat cutlets on the BBQ and they didn't spin my wheels.

Made this for Christmas lunch last year: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/12/hasselback-potato-gratin-casserole-holiday-food-lab.html
Combines the crispyness of the hasselback potato with the creamy goodness of the potato gratin. Well worth the effort I thought.

If you know of anyone that knows a dairy goat farmer, you can get Dairy goat "lamb" equivalent really cheap. This doesn't require a slow cook. It's like a lovely lamb

Had to adjust the bread recipe yesterday as I scored a 5kg bag of whole meal flour.
It’s great for feeding the starter but acts differently (the bran can absorb more water and disrupt the strength of the dough)
Have ended up at about a 45% whole meal loaf including starter which didn’t quite have the oven spring of my usual but is pretty good.
This will extend the number of loaves left in the flour supply considerably

@voodoo I have a go to vindaloo recipe I've been using for over 30 years. It's hard copy but when I get home I will transcribe it - if I can be arsed
Awesome mate, even take a photo and upload it if easier?!

I maybe cooking more but I'm not eating more and I may even still be losing weight.
Be that as it may, this morning I have got a baby goat shoulder out of freezer and it is prepped and marinating in fridge for 24 hours with the following all put through the blender to a paste.
3 inches of Ginger
4 fresh long red chillis (Off my plant)
2 Habaneros (off my plant)
8 cloves of garlic
A big bunch of parsley
A handful of rock salt
Half (?) a cup of Olive oil.Smeared all over the shoulder and now we wait.

@Hooroo when you blend your chillies, is that whole or do you de-seed some/all?
