What are you preparing for dinner tonight?

Where are the hot dog bread rolls? Those look like chapatis or rotis - best used with currywurst :wink:

It is called “lompe” in my language and is a flat potato based tortilla. Excellent with hot dogs.

Swordfish tonight. I’m letting my Aji Limon chilli’s do the flavouring with this. So just chopped garlic, olive oil, salt & pepper and the chilli marinading for 1/2 hour before frying on fairly high heat in a non-stick pan. Swordfish needs to be cooked through, unlike tuna, but not overcooked. Super fresh swordfish with absolutely no fish smell 1” from your nose and simple ingredients. Delicious.

My pork chops had a different shape that needed me to re-evaluate the roast toast rack position.

Another pork chop, thank you for your tip on the toast rack, I am using a stand from an air fryer and getting near perfect crackling every time.

Lost 14 kgs in last 5 months, so this is my weekly treat

Washed down with mineral water :droplet: instead of Weston’s cider :beer_mug: :face_with_bags_under_eyes::face_with_bags_under_eyes::face_with_bags_under_eyes:

Long does a chop take to cook in an oven?

Here’s the anniversary dinner for Mrs P which I made last night - Duck with orange sauce which was quite process but well worth it. Pots and salad from plot140

Comfort food. Jacket spud with butter and cheese, then beans, with a Calabrian N’duja flavoured sausage and some hot sauce. Delicious, but a bit of a whack.

Hi. Depending on the chop.
I like more it taken from the shoulder end more than the loin end.
With the rind and marbled fat needing a bit longer to crisp and render.
I do a hot 200 start for 40 minutes and then a lower 175 for another 30/45 minutes.

I also pour a small glass of water in my Dutch oven pot. This stops the rendered fat from burning in the pot. Saving the oven and house and using for lots of gravy.

Home grown fruit :grapes: and vegetables​:ear_of_corn: taste so much better and there is the sense of accomplishment that comes from eating them .
I always keep some potatoes from my garden for Christmas :christmas_tree: Day. This year some apples from a neighbour’s garden are in the Christmas Pudding

Thank you - yes there were quite a few stages, including a new method for me to candy the rind Richard

Pic?

I normally do them on the BBQ and stand them up (rind side down) to crisp the fatty skin. Might try the oven next time, cheers.

My preferred method is to crisp up the rind and colour both sides of the chop in the frying pan and then put in the oven for 15 mins covered with foil so it cooks through nicely but stays moist

Do not feel like cooking so will have Home run Inn cheese pizza with tuna/capers and dash of lemon. Plus a small salad. :face_savoring_food:

Had to do a shop and went to Sainsburys, they had an offer on medium chickens half price at £2.67, so bought two, and roasted them, then broke them down. So much skin, so I roasted that a bit more, so tasty.

Had a roast dinner, but we will give some cooked chicken and skin to our son.
