Re: the dinner thread
My own "Red fusion" soup:
leek, sweet potato, carrots, red pepper, vegetable stock cube, 1 small tin of coconut milk, 2 teaspoons of thai red curry paste, salt , pepper and top up with water. I bung it all in my budget soup maker and 22 minutes later I have a healthy, delicious and (accidentally) vegan thai / european fusion spicy soup.
Of course, it is now 34°C, so a bowl of hot soup is not really what the doctor ordered.

It's a pretty simple dish but twats like Ramsay just butcher it completely.
Fry chopped bacon, mushrooms, add cheddar cheese, double cream, jar of pesto ten add pasta. Sounds wrong but I've never known anyone's kids not love it. A few adults too.
Re: Today I am cooking...
Been meaning to try this for a while. Tomorrow is the day! Anyone tried using red wine rather than white? (There may be an obvious reason why you use white rather than red - cooking is not my forte)dasnutnock3 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 4:33 pm This is an excellent, and pretty straightforward, recipe for pork belly from Ramsay. Once it's cooked, cooled and pressed, you can stick chunks of the belly in the freezer, and defrost before the final roast for a quick supper, or slice leftovers thinly for use in Asian soups etc.

Re: Today I am cooking...
Use white wine, red would be too tart for pork belly. If you haven’t got white, cider works too, but definitely not red.

Chicken Madeira. Herb marinated chicken breast, in a rich madeira cream sauce, with roasted chestnut mushrooms served with rice. Well, that's what it says on the packet bought at Tesco's
Was ****ing horrible

Re: the dinner thread
Don't use marscapone mate. It tastes far better with either Mozzarella, Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano Reggiano. Only yanks use marscapone and in general they butcher Italian food.dasnutnock3 wrote: ↑Sat May 21, 2022 1:25 pm Tonight - confit duck legs with white bean casserole.

Re: the dinner thread
Done some traditional bolognese sauce and pasta. Took 5 hours too cook.
Beef/Pork mince
Celery
1 carrott
Tinned tomatos
1 bottle of tomato Passata
Tomato puree
(ahem) ... glass of red wine
Mixed it up with some pappardelle pasta and I can honestly say it's the best bolognese sauce I've ever tasted. Got a load left over which I'm going to use for a Lasagne. It's a big mistake to use spaghetti pasta for bolognese, pappardelle pasta is much much better.
