What's cooking?

Adam Marr was nice enough to put some koa scales on my Guede a few years ago. Still wondering how people can live without one The rolls are my first attempt, based on the no knead recipe. Tasting nice but very dense, will have to practice more. Still, with a little butter and prosciutto you get a simple but delicious lunch sandwich.

Pork Belly. The official food of Sous Vide.

 

Roast chicken today with a garlic, rosemary and thyme butter under the skin.
I am not really one for taking pics as I go but here we go....

First finely chop the garlic, rosemary and thyme and add salt and pepper


Then mix in the butter


Separate the skin from the chicken carefully without breaking it, I use the back of a spoon for this



Then put about 3/4 of the butter mixture under the skin and massage it around so it's fully spread out


Then use the remaining butter mixture to cover the outside of the chicken, a little more salt and pepper and it's ready for the oven


Will get some pics up when it's cooked!

In the meantime the sprouts are getting done, don't worry not boiled to death! Halved and in the pan with bacon and a little butter.


and done



Everything cooked


Still nice and moist inside



Quickly plated as we were really hungry!! just a little drizzle in the pic but we had plenty of sauce/gravy to pour over at the table

 

Looks good mate merry Christmas

 

That bird looks tasty

 

Thanks mate, Merry Christmas to you and the family and hope you all have a great New Year!!

It was very tasty!! nice and juicy with the garlic and herb butter gone through it and you can't beat bacon with your sprouts:bacon

 

Looks great Warren! My only job for Christmas dinner this year was sprouts and that's how did em too, Even my kids ate more than one!

 

Thanks! I used to have the boiled ones at Christmas when I was a kid, just bitter mush I have actually been more into my cooking since getting a couple of decent knives and joining the Fora

 

Pho -

 

That looks fantastic!

 

I could go for some warm soup right about now. Buurrr

 

Neil, that looks magnificent. I think my blood pressure just dropped a little just looking at the images.

 

Wow. That looks way better than any Pho I've had!

 

First one on the new baking steel. I did at least 27 things wrong, but these were among the tastiest mistakes I made

Stefan

 

The crust looks it puffed up bit and took nice color , all good signs Stefan

 

Didn't give the dough enough time to rest after taking it out of the fridge, I was hungry The next one will be better. Will need a lot of practice shaping the dough...

That said, that pho really looks spectacular.

Stefan

 

fantastic looking pizza Stefan! Now I want pizza.....

 

Stefan -

I'd love to hear more about the steel. By the looks of that great pie, I'll bet you're happy with it.

 

That Pho looks amazing! and I would happily munch that pizza as well, nice stuff guys

 

Rather than cluttering this nice thread here, I opened a pizza thread and hope that many will chime in over there with experiences, recipes etc. Neil, I also addressed your question there.
