Recipes, home grown goodness, BBQing and food stuff
-
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. -
@Kruse love it!
If you look on Dr Google there's plenty of variation to the recipes although I think traditionalists would be aghast at putting things like tomato, coffee, fresh chillies etc in (most recipes call for dried chillies). But hey I like my take.

Mods is there any way way to post pictures (of food creations) on here from a phone, which doesn't run into the "file size too large" issue? Aside from the faff of taking screenshots? In 2020 I think most smartphone cameras take much larger photos than 1MB or whatever the limit is.....#karenalert

Screenshot them and crop. Like this
Picanha or rump cap reverse seared to medium rare then finished on high heat

FuckheadThe only good use I've found for "traditionalists"... is sucking my balls.
I've taken 5 months of having nothing to do before finally finding my "cooking shit" phase, and trialling different "secret ingredients for chilli-con-carne" seems a reasonably hobby. -
Second cook on the kamado, smoked a brace of ducks over oak, came out really nicely with a huge amount of smoke flavour. Had to do more well done than usual, as cooking for two pregnant people. Graph shows that temperature control is still a work in progress....
Was served with drip pan roast potatoes in garlic and thyme, a ratatouille of savoy cabbage, celeriac, chestnuts and pancetta, and pears poached in caramel and star anise. Birthday meal cooked by my wife, I just did the kamado part. Nom.

@canefan pity the lamb looks perfect!!!
Wicked job mate! No need for knife and fork for those cutlets Only thing I'd change would be to foil the bones for presentation. But you don't eat the bones!

@MajorRage honestly, I just use the breadmaker. From memory, after a few drinks:
yeast (as needed - on the base, a tsp or so). I don't measure, just shake it in
450g flour
300 ml of liquid. For Naan I use yoghurt, milk and some water. Heat it in the microwave to get it 'warm' -- not hot -- to support the yeast.Add 1/2 t sugar, some salt and a squeeze of oil
Run on 'dough' setting, drop onto flour, carve into 8 pieces. Spread with fingers on a floured board, or stretch by hand if you feel brave.
Cook on direct high heat on bbq, and serve. Takes about 5 min to fully cook them (depending on thickness).
Edit: 1/2 t sugar, not 1.2t sugar

we've given up on the 'fit' part of 'fit, fat happy'.
Prawn tacos last night
followed by veal eye fillet, creamy mushroom sauce, pilaf and a brussel sprouts salad (and peas and corn for the sprogs). Sensational - the boys have no idea this shit ain't normal. I'm checking my privilege.

@nzzp Veal fillet? Are you a drug dealer? There is no other explanation for that level of disposable income.
