So. Anyone done any actual cooking recently?
-
@Catogrande did the slow cooker gammon (I posted a few weeks ago) on Sunday. Sooo good with so little effort. Gammon rolls for lunch for the rest of the week too, magic.

I shall revisit that post. I do like a nice big gammon. (Descends back into puerile homophobic humour).

My boy wanted roast pork for his birthday. Ordered some online. 5.2KG LATER FFS, a rolled pork shoulder arrived.
Going to feed us, parents, and then have shedloads of leftovers I expect. Probably going to oven roast it @Hooroo style - fast to get crackilng, and then slow cook. Have tried the reverse on the charcoal before, and not had great resutlts ... leathery crackling.
-
@Catogrande I just use this as guidance. I throw peeled and rough chopped carrots in with a couple of hours to go as they're the fucken yummest when they come out. Could finish the gammon on the BBQ if ya wanted, I just do super hot oven rather than grill.

@Catogrande I slow braised some lamb shanks in a sort of vaguely Moroccan inspired casserole with stuff I had lying around - spices, preserved lemon, shallots, garlic, tomatoes, home made stock, chick peas. Eating it with home made flat breads.
Also confited some chicken legs in olive oil for seven hours and did miso glazed salmon. That's my last three dinners. Chicken and lamb left overs will see me through to the weekend.

preserved lemon
ooohh, I have an abundance of limes, what does preserving of lemons/limes do for cooking? I've never done them or knew it was done (such a simple process) and so many went to waste last year
I found a recipe and says you add a spice to the preserve, so assume it is mainly used in curries and other spicy dishes?

The devil is in the detail...

They're used a lot in Middle Eastern and Morrocan dishes. They add an acidity and slight bitterness (unless you actually eat one and then you can forget the slight).

Fillet, home fries, broccolini.
Few reds.
I’m cool now.
But, but, you said broccolini. Are you sure you’re ok?
