@canefan well done that man! That looks servable anywhere.

Need to up your game on the side dishes now

It is so rich I think steamed vege is perfect. Maybe some roast potatoes if i was serving it to more people and each person was only going to get a slice. My sauce was a train wreck so need to brush up on that for sure

Oh come on, go full beans and have some gratin spuds on the side! Then up the red wine to port - no problems ...

A nicely dressed light salad goes really well with Wellington as well.

Yours looks absolutely superb btw.

Had salad last time and it worked great. Just didn't have the ingredients so had to improvise

Keftethes are super easy

Cheers mate, had these the last couple of nights with a lemon pilaf - superb and will definitely be a future go to.

@voodoo very similar in taste to Kibbeh (the meatloaf version not the croquette version) we often had growing up, so definitely a winner!

Looks awesome. Double serve too! Fit at 40 is going to take a hit...

@Bones leftovers taste even better

[Bones]

@voodoo hah had a rest day today too as work was being an arse for us both and it's been a couple of weeks since I had one.

Second tray is for the in-laws though.

[voodoo]

Going to try this tomorrow, probably sans cucumber though

[Bones]

@voodoo I can't decide if it's a recipe or a cute nickname.

[voodoo]

@Bones let your imagination run wild

[Crucial]

@voodoo do the cucumber. It will make the dish. A nice bit of refreshing acidity to cut the richness of the fat

edit: if you want to cheat, just buy some sushi vinegar and use that. heat up and throw the cucumber in, then chill.

I know, I know, and I would if I was hosting people. Or even feeding my family. But it's likely that I'll be eating this alone, with my family in bed.

And I know that I should STILL do it . And I'll try.

But no promises.

@voodoo you should listen to @Crucial. He's right here.

Even @Crucial now? What has the world come to.

Fuck, OK.

@Crucial

So in the spirit of minimal wastage, I have everything needed for this except "seasoned rice vinegar".

Can I concoct this from any combination of this motley collection that I have been touring NZ with?

[canefan]

@voodoo You need the acidity, but I don't think red wine vinegar or balsamic are light enough. White wine vinegar might do it

[Crucial]

@voodoo use the mirin. Add a squeeze of lemon if you have one and salt. Leave sitting a bit longer than the recipe

Excellent, will do.
