Now that we're into a couple weeks of Corvfefe what have you been creating in the kitchen?

Marinated chicken thighs in yogurt, cinnamon, coriander (ground), and turmeric. Let it go 2 days. Grilled it. Chopped it.
Sauteed onion, garlic, and ginger. Added the chicken and some yogurt and let simmer while my jasmine rice infused with cinnamon, clove and coriander seed steamed.
Fucking delicious!

It is. I've actually been swigging little sips of the bottled leftover juice all night nipping in for beers during our online dominos game :embarrassed:

The only thing I strayed from the recipe was:

I only had dried chipotle chillis so I put everything for the spice mix in a pestle an mortal and ground it up.

I added a little bit of onion and a little bit of garlic powder each.

We pressure cooked - cut everything into matchbox size pieces, 30 minutes high pressure then fast release. You could actually shed it with one fork just stabbing at it.


Next time I wouldn't have used so much lime juice, it did give it that nice Mexican freshness but it was a bit overpowering at times. Not much but a little less.


My wife said she didn't notice but it also got her seal of approval - I've stopped asking her to rate my dinners out of 10 as it usually annoys me :embarrassed: but I have started to ask her if there's anything she would change about it - the only thing she could come up with was making something better to go with it instead of cheap fries, the beef was perfect.

I can't wait to have it tomorrow after it's soaked in the sauce overnight with some toasted sourdough bread and Philadelphia. :grin:
 
Oh man the pulled pork was so good. And now there are big bags of leftovers for other nights. *buuurp*

Had the leftover beef on toasted sourdough with some mozzarella and a little bit of the gravy I bottled.

Orgamic. Seriously we're really bad at making something once, loving it then never making it again but this is going in the little blank recipe book I never put anything in.


Got some tandoori salmon marinading for tomorrow. If we can get the fruit I'll do a mango salsa with it. I might stick it on the bbq of the weather stays nice.
 
Doin that ottolenghi jerusalem chicken and rice dealie, which was a go to for a long time and then somehow fell off my radar

I like to add waaaaay more of the parsley/dill/cilantro than the recipe calls for, and leave all that delicious chicken fat in the pan to be soaked into the rice (recipe has you remove most of the fat), but it's sooo good
 
I made green chile chicken enchiladas on saturday after going to Costco for a super haul. They didn't have enchilada sauce but they did have cans of whole Hatch green chiles and they also had green chile salsa, I was planning on using the whole green chiles to layer anyway but for the enchilada sauce i just combined a can of diced tomatoes, green chile salsa , cumin and some salt....turned out great.
 
Been making a lot of bread as I had a fair bit of flour. Managed to order a bunch more so that will continue, thankfully I had a sourdough already going and still have about 70g of dried yeast . Also scones, lemon drizzle cake, welsh fruit loafs (bara brith)
Made some homemade bacon which was great, going to make some more of that
Fish cakes from tinned fish and leftover mash was surprisingly good. Not made them before, will make again but do a spicy one next time
Couple of veggie curries were decent.
Got a lot more wood for the oven so will hopefully branch out a bit from pizzas in it, I have a large griddle that fits and large skewers so steaks/'babs need to be done.
Also got a lot of packaged tortilla wraps that can be used for enchiladas etc so will try that soon.
 
Buy easycure off ebay or here etc https://www.weschenfelder.co.uk/bacon-curing/curing-salts/supracure-dry-cured-bacon.html


buy some pork belly, loin or shoulder. I just got the freshest I could find from asda

follow this guys instructions


This is some shoulder I bought to make collar bacon, it's the fattier bit. There was also a leaner bit that separated that I also cured

Genuinely the best bacon I have eaten, probably because I buy cheaper stuff normally tbf . No water given off during cooking and very bacony flavour. You can smoke it of course as well, this was unsmoked so I added quite a bit pf pepper/coriander/dried herbs to the cure . This was made in march, got some loin curing atm for back bacon

I made the beef. Whole family LOVED it. Thanks for the heads up and recipe!
We did tacos the first night and nachos with the leftovers.
 
Planning on doing crawfish etouffee tonight. We'll see how I feel. Been really unhungry the last 2 days.
