Re: Today I am cooking...
I sensibly waited 5 seconds after removing it from the pinger before consumption. So, yes.

Re: Today I am cooking...
Bastardisation of carbonara tonight I think.
Bacon, not guanciale. Mushrooms, which are haraam. Maybe onions. Oh and linguine, not spaghetti.
Apart from that though, totally authentic - and far more authentic than Ramsay's version.

Re: Today I am cooking...
Proper carbonara needs guanciale, Pecorino Romano, LOTS of black pepper, three egg yolks and spaghettoni or linguini.
It's a pretty simple dish but twats like Ramsay just butcher it completely.

Re: the dinner thread
I've bought a topside joint for tomorrow.
How best to cook it? Medium rare or slow cooker?

What’s the weight? If it’s over 1kg, definitely roast it - if it’s small, pot roast might work betterRaddyKovac wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 4:26 pm I've bought a topside joint for tomorrow.

Re: the dinner thread
Mix oil with mustard powder, a little flour or cornflour, S&P and rub all over the meat. Let it get to room temp then place it on a bed of very roughly chopped veg, to make into gravy after. In at about 210 fan for 20 then down to maybe 170 fan for another 20 mins or so, depending on temp. Use a meat thermometer if you have one and be brave, absolutely don’t let it overcook. At least 20 mins rest before you carve.RaddyKovac wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 4:54 pm I wasn't sure if it would be tough because it's so lean?

Cod and chips. A basic batter, fillets dropped in the fryer, with Iceland frozen steak cut chips, and birds eye petit pois.
Went down a treat with the family.

Re: the dinner thread
• Sweet Potato Rissoles with spring onions & chilli
• Roast Butternut Squash served with chunks of lime
• Roast Beetroot Salad with preserved lemon
& two different yoghurt dressings.
All recipes from that man Ottolenghi.
Not a crumb left on the table which could be a sign I didn’t cook enough.

Re: the dinner thread
Experiment time....chicken thighs + chopped leek + chopped mushrooms ****ed into a slow cooker with a gravy made of 2 sachets of potato + leek Cup-a-Soup. Served with corncobs. I've done similar in the past using soup to make gravy (chicken pie works well) so I'm hopeful.
