Here’s a fun challenge if you are looking for more inspiration.
Have a look through your kitchen gadgets and equipment and find something you bought for a particular use but haven’t used in ages.
I found a gnocchi board thing (for rolling ridges into the gnocchi) today so gnocchi in sage butter was tonight’s dinner.
Haven’t made them in ages but they were bloody nice and I must do more often.That was fun. I have a tortilla press that I have used once. That was a waste of money.
I'm glad you did that as I found some ole traditional skewers that are a long thin blade. I am gonna sewer some meat!!
Sewer some meat? That’s an interesting way of describing the digestive process

Won't be the first dish I have made a mess of....

so i made a bloody good ragu last night minced some pork, pancetta and gravy beef with garlic chicken livers @antipodean Threw in a Carolina reaper but other than that stuck pretty close to a standard recipe and cooked it down for two hours.
Issue was I had butterflied a leg of lamb and marinated it in red wine, rosemary and garlic and that was roasting at the same time. What to do.
In the end on the basis that roasted lamb straight of the oven trumped the ragu which will improve anyway. I grabbed some potatoes from the garden and last of my peas and had sage potatoes and peas and opened the Barolo.
Given I still have half a duck in the fridge and there's only me I have a fucking tonne of meat to eat over the next few days
@Crucial I have too many gadgets I don't use. I wouldn't know where to start. I'm a sucker for a kitchen gadget

That sounds like a top ragu. It will improve with a night in the fridge anyway.
Dig the pasta maker from the back of the cupboard and some fresh pappardelle? -
@Crucial Pasta makers at my significant others - along with pressure cooker, sous vide machine, deep fat fryer and a host of other gadgets.
I can't use the pasta maker at my place anyway as I renovated it a few years ago and the new marble bench tops are two thick for it to fit and I haven't got around to modifying it .
I guess I could make it by hand but that sounds like a lot of effort when dried will do fine and the ragu is the star. (well and the wine)
Plus I don't have any 00 or semolina flour and I am making crumpets on ANZAC day so am rationing my flour anyway.

Still no flour around you? I picked up a 5kg bag at the supermarket the other day so am well set.
Also means I don't have to dig into the stash of 00 that I picked up just before lockdown. While everyone was busy crying at the empty shelves at the supermarket I nipped off to La Bella Italia where they had heaps of 00 which works great for bread making as well.
I had a similar problem with the pasta machine clamp and benchtop but found that it worked fine attaching it to one of my larger chopping boards. -

OK so I oven roast first, then finish on the grill?

Do you have charcoal/wood bbq mate? If not, yes, do it that way. Only take it to 120 degrees F though in Oven. Then finish on the grill

@barbarian said in Recipes, home grown goodness, BBQing and food stuff:
Yeah no charcoal set-up sadly. So 120 until done, then a quick grill. OK.
120F mate!! Not C!! (Just to reiterate)

@barbarian Just so I am clear, you cook until you get an internal temp of the fillet of 120F So put your oven on a real low heat or you can do it on BBQ offset from the flame (Again, a real low temp)

Only reason for that is all the learnings and coaching on low and slow BBQ are talked about in degrees F and that's the numbers you remember.
It was a pain but I'm used to it now so it's easy
