getting the right consistency of yolk in a scotch egg is not easy, and that looks loving brilliant.

Stangg posted:

Good job on the egg, love the colour in the sides too.

paraquat posted:

Those colours, wow. That plate is a work of art!


Thanks guys, I'll definitely be making them again, the pickled red onion (super simple) was pretty nice as a side too.

No fancy plating, sorry:


Masoor dal with spinach


Masoor Dal is delicious, did you follow a specific recipe?

Edit: I also made pan seared salmon, samphire and a honey, butter and lemon dressing:

Get that loving in me.

... What's your naan recipe? Those look beautifully light.

Haha thanks, I used tipo 00 flour with baking powder rather than any yeast.

1 3/4 cups flour
2 tsp sugar
1tsp salt
2 tsp olive oil
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk

Mix the dry ingrediants, add the wet and knead for 7-8 mins, rest for 10, makes 8 portions. Cook for 30-40s in a super hot pan, turn and brush with ghee/garlic/coriander (cilantro) mix, turn again and brush the other side after 30s.

The butter chicken recipe was this: https://thekitchenpaper.com/indian-butter-chicken/

But with 1/2tsp turmeric, more chilli powder and more garlic.

I cook a lot of Indian food and I always think I should post it but I can never make it look that photogenic. My rogan josh is delicious but it looks like the red sarcophagus liquid.

It's mostly just lighting, I used the inbuilt flash on my camera but bounced it off the ceiling to get even lighting.

First day of the season under 50 degrees so made some bœuf bourgignon over papardelle.



When done correctly it’s a lot of effort, but really comes together as something more than the sum of its fairly simple parts.

Looks incredible.

I had no idea what to make today, ended up doing chicken and mushroom pie with fondant potatoes.



Eyeballed everything, came out alright.

Tell me more about these triple cooked sweet potato fries. Whenever I make sweet potato fries they turn out more like roasted sweet potatoes if I'm lucky.

Parboil, toss with salt, pepper, smoked paprika and corn flour, Bake for 25 mins then fry for a bit.

Honey & Cumin roast pork belly, sugar snap peas, leek and mushroom croquettes with a pork/onion gravy.

Ranter posted:

im defrosting a pork belly slab right now do you have a recipe please?

These were pre cut slices but I scored the fat, seasoned with salt, pepper, and whole cumin seeds, cook for 1 hour at Gas Mark 2 in a covered dish. Then take the cover off, add around 15ml honey and cook for a further 20-25 mins at Gas Mark 5-6.

For the croquettes, I used two medium potatoes (red rooster potatoes iirc), 1 small leek, 1 spring onion, and 5-6 chestnut mushrooms, cooked off the leek/onion/mushroom with a little of the pork fat that had rendered out.

Mix that all together and chill, should make 6 roughly egg sized croquettes. Flour, eggwash then bread (I used panko breadcrumbs but any would do). Add some flour if the mix is a little too wet. Fry for 5-6 mins.

The gravy again I used some of the rendered fat to cook off half a finely sliced white onion, made a roux and added some stock, then filtered the onion and any bits through a sieve.

:drat: That looks loving amazing. How was the pork belly done, just in the oven?

Thanks, yep, I cooked them for about 3 hours at the lowest setting on my oven (slow cook, below gas mark 1) in a covered dish.

Took them out, drained, glaze then cook for 10 mins at gas mark 6 then repeated another 2 times.

god drat

i tried making bao buns a few weeks ago and failed absolutely miserably. instead of soft, delicious buns of goodness i instead got rigid, crusty bullshit. i followed a recipe and have no idea if it was the recipe (probably not) or me (probably)

may I ask how you properly make these little pillows from heaven?

I am awful for actually using recipes or weighing stuff and this was my first time making these but I'll give you roughly what I used.

250 - 275g plain flour (tipo 00 as this was all I had)
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 tsp instant yeast
125ml water
30ml milk
2 tsp veg oil
1 tsp rice vinegar

Mix the flour, salt, sugar and yeast.
Mix the water, milk and 1 tsp oil.

Add to together and form a slightly wet dough, add more flour or water as required.

Add 1 tsp rice vinegar to the dough (I didn't add this earlier as I thought it might cause the milk to separate).

Knead for 5-6 mins then rest in a covered bowl for 1 hour or so, depending on how warm the room is.
After it has doubled in size knead again then roll out to around 1/3 inch/8mm thick.
Add the last tsp oil on top and brush, cut with a 3.5-4 inch round (should get 6 ish).
Fold over in half and roll out a little bit more, then rest again in the steamer.

Steam for 12-13 mins, take off the heat but leave them in the steamer, covered for another 10 mins before serving.

Looks great.

If you have a lot of basil I would suggest making basil oil.

Blanch the basil for 30s in boiling water, put into ice water to cool immediately after. Dry off then blend with a small amount of olive oil then freeze for 24h.

Should keep for a few months, freezing it keeps the colour but isn't 100% necessary.

They're great, I love you didn't attempt to find a bigger plate.

I ran a couple of specials today at work so had to try them, naturally.

Pan fried mackeral (caught this morning by my brother), on toasted ciabatta with beetroot and chilli salsa. Cod loin with lemon and mint pea puree and chorizo.

It's quite a common pairing with white fish/scallops etc. Personally I think it works really well, especially with the saltiness from the chorizo.

Aaaand a third. The veloute especially sounds great here, has it got a decent kick to it with the habanero?

Thanks, I toned it down a bit as I was testing it (cooked for my Dad who isn't big on heat) but it's definitely noticeable. I put about 1/5 of a small/medium chili to around 500ml of veloute.

Kinda looked at Bourdain's recipe and said that's too much work, then looked at Kenji's recipe and said there's room for more flavor, and kinda took inspiration and process from both.

I've never had it before but it looks loving incredible.

Staff meal I did today was chicken and veg pot pie, not bad for using up scraps.
