What are you preparing for dinner tonight?

Pork fillet, flavoured with a sumac spice rub + oven baked hasselback potatoes and baked cauliflower with a sprinkle of Cornish sea salt. Yum.

That should see Jorge off.

A couple of lamb shanks.
Wondering what to do with them. I’ve done all sorts with them before. Long slow braised with wine,cider, beer or stock. Curried.
Thinking I might just season them and simply roast. Fancy more the crispy bits with veg and gravy.

[Camphuw]

Slow braise would be my preference - choose your wine!

Is Dishoom the brand? Tried making garam masala ages ago, but not that successful - if there is an authentic non-UK centric mixture/recipe it would be nice to know.

Oddly I couldn’t find any garam masala in Waitrose the other day which I found a little odd. Also disappointed they no longer seem to stock The Bay Tree piccalilli which was my favourite (apart from gran’s all those years ago).

@Camphuw

I’m not a purist in my search for the perfect daal, dahl… I say this because I use red lentils rather than black, brown, etc. Apologies for not using the proper names.
Last night was one of better creations; I used a new garam masala (Dishoom), garlic, ginger, black pepper, tomatoes and fresh chillies with beef stock. The trick was to stir in some fresh greens at the end.

Looking good. Just waiting for the roast potatoes .

Épaule d’agneau? Miam miam !

[Camphuw]

It’s a restaurant brand and a book …

[JOF]

Sausages.

[pcd]

Same here

[frenchrooster]

I like to read in restaurants too, specially in Paris. See people in the street, eat, and read. Alone in that cases.

Cod with caramelized onions and black olives on a bed of sauteed potatoes.

[Pete_the_painter]

I could eat that photo, I’m on a no carb diet and haven’t had potatoes for almost 3 weeks. Think I’ll have to give this thread a miss in future.

[Camphuw]

Winter sausage stew is on my menu.
I’ve adapted it from the original by adding lentils to potatoes, onions and carrots. Perhaps with a hint of spices to liven it up. Sausage = black pepper sausages from the farmers market, actually they come from the Forest of Dean.

[Camphuw]

Mushroom biryani - South Indian style apparently.

Risotto?

[Camphuw]

Well let’s not start on that topic - which rice, when is cooked properly, do you add parmigiana to fish, how sloppy, how many ingredients (no more than three), etc.?

[frenchrooster]

It just looks like a risotto…but I believe it tastes differently. I could have said Paella

[Petersfi]

A late lunch of braised Swiss chard, tossed with garlic, evoo and lemon, topped with ‘Sous vide” poached eggs. Really healthy save for the accompanying glass of wolf blass Chardonnay . Oh well

[Alley_Cat]

I often buy Swiss chard, love the coloured stalks, but far too often it goes off in the fridge (as with many things ) before I use it - while I love shopping for food I fancy far too much, buy too much and inevitably throw too much. I’d save a fortune going for deliveries as I wouldn’t be tempted browsing in the store but trust myself more than the food selectors to buy the better quality looking fresh produce.
