@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).

So. Anyone done any actual cooking recently?
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?

Never used any spices in preserved lemon. You could, but not necessary, and probably limits what dish you put them in later. Just salt and lemon, extra lemon juice, stick 'em in a sterilized jar.

The recipe I use and apply to mandarins as well is this one. http://tvnz.co.nz/masterchef-new-zealand/masterclass-preserved-lemons-5352959/photos
Preserved Mandarins are excellent and only did due to having an abundance and trialled it. Now it is a seasonal event

Bearing in mind, I "hate" savoury fruit, I do use these as a addition to chicken dishes and fish. The mandarin side of it is more of the zest taste than the sweet fruit taste if that makes sense.

@Hooroo Like the idea of the chilli in there.
Have never done Mandarins (the fruit, you fuckers). Do you just use the skin like lemons (not people again you fuckers).
Followed that attached recipe exactly like lemons but subbed in Mandarins. I only found out they were good as I gave a jar accidently to the neighbour and they said they were amazing so tried a dish myself with them and was pleasantly surprised
