@R-L Home made tomato soup. Finely dice a shallot and fry gently in olive oil with a sprig of thyme. Add a clove of garlic and a tin of good quality plum tomatoes (you can beef it up with a few chopped fresh tomatoes if ripe). Cook this off gently for about 10 minutes and add chicken or vegetable stock to desired quantity taking care not to make it too watery. After simmering for a further ten minutes or so, add some chopped basil then blitz it, reheat and add a dash of cream.
Alternative: Open a tin of Heinz, it is very similar.

Watching a series by my fave chef at the moment - Tom Kerridge - on BBQ recipes.
Some of the recipes look amaze balls and going to give a crack over next weeks staycation. Looking at chicken kebab with home made flatbread, chorizo burgers and his mustardy ribs at the moment.
5 days of 30+ coming up. Perfect.

He's amazing. I used to watch him on Great British menu and he was really big, then he went on his keto(?) diet and he's rake thin now. I bought his cookbook about how he did it but have yet to cook anything from it

Bowl of Red (Texas Chilli)
Hadn't cooked this in aaaages, but did a batch this week. Bloody love it. My take on it - I'm shit and don't really measure my spices etc eh, so just go with what you feel.
Ingredients:
1kg+ of diced beef (I used a cut of rump roast)
2 Onions chopped
2 Red chillis diced
1 Green chilli diced
Tomato puree
500ml Beef stock with a heaped teaspoon of coffee powder
Dried Oregano
Sweet Paprika
Smoked salt
Cayenne Chilli powder
Ground Cumin
Flour
Salt
Pepper
1 bottle/can dark beer (I had a porter)Toss the beef in a bowl with some flour, cayenne, s&p to coat
Brown it off in a dutch oven or similar and remove
Cook the onions, chillis until softening then add cumin, cayenne, oregano, smoked salt, pepper, about a couple tablespoons of tomato paste and stir well
Add beef back in and about a cup or so of beer mix and cook a couple mins
Drink rest of beer
Add stock and stir
Cover and cook for an hour or so, stirring occasionally
Uncover and cook for an hour or so, stirring occasionallyServe with grated cheese on and a dollop of sour cream if ya like, along with some good bread or nacho chips.

@Bones dollop of crushed avo on mine please and a few jalapeños! Drooool.
-
@R-L spring onions a good garnish too. For extra fatbastardness lay the chips out in a tray and cover with grated cheese then grill for for a couple minutes.

I imagined wedges when you said chips and that's really fatbastardness. I happily go without carby sides, was quite impressed you didn't serve it with rice but a tiny bit of crusty bread maybe, oh or some soft foccacia, ooooooh. Spring onions are a good garnish on anything.
Effing veg soup for dinner.

@R-L bowl of red is served in a bowl on it's own. Nacho chips is the giveaway. No thanks to wedges.

fark me it was good. A nice gerwurz with it, offset the spice nicely. Celebrating a family bithday, and now I'm struggling to spell shit and stay awake on the couch.
Epic. Went to a proper fishmonger who filleted fish for me as I waited ... farking result my home boys.
Also, I'm drunk. Fucking blues all the way baby, come on next weekend, cannot wait
-
@nzzp Yes. Thank you for all that.

if you are observant, you will see that I was simulcasting red, white and beer. FML.

I've recently been doing roast potatoes for "half-time chips" for the rugby, each Saturday/Sunday - incorporating a few of the suggestions from earlier on in the thread. So - had the spuds boiled, smashed, oiled and seasoned, by about lunch-time.
Then - some fuckhead posts about "Bowl of Red" - and I figure I'm in the mood to do a bit of Chilli Con Carne, mixing @Bones recipe with some others.
Then, go shopping for ingredients after a few beers.
End result - enough Chilli to feed Gatland, Hansen, and Foster twice over - ready by kick-off; and a platter of roast-spuds at half-time.
And I only used half the ingredients I bought... so I'm probably going to have to do the Chilli again tomorrow... perhaps with chocolate instead of the dark-beer/coffee... my sister's kids were fucking nutcases after eating the Chilli.
