Fajitas. I made my own seasoning and lashed it on a bit of rare griddled steak, with some peppers and onions. Breads, salsa, guac, sour cream, cheese and all the usuals with it.

What did you make the seasoning out of?

neuro-praxis

I mixed together salt, pepper, sugar, paprika, dried chilli flakes, black pepper, garlic powder and dried parsley to taste. I just dipped in my pinky and tasted it til it was how I wanted it.

Then I sprinkled it on the meat and veg as it was cooking. It was good. I don't like those smokey flavoured fajita packets. Although if you did like the smokey flavour, using smoked paprika would do the trick.

Tonight I had boned, stuffed chicken thigh. got some free range oyster thighs for pretty cheap and make a really simple herb stuffing, tied them up with some butchers twine, had them with some baby roast spuds, roasted shallots and some peas and carrots.

Did the spuds by halving them length ways and boiling them until tender, then i dry steamed them a little to make them floury, coloured them on a hot pan with some veg oil and a dollop of goose fat, put them skin side down into a pre heated roasting dish with a little goosefat in it, halved my shallots length ways and left the skin on, put them skinside up into the same dish, put my chicken thighs on top and into a preheated oven at 180 for 30 minutes.

Juice from the chicken along with the herbes in the stuffing drips down and flavours the spuds, the shallots bleed and flavour them a bit too, result was lovely fluffy tasty spuds, sweet shallots and the chicken was moist and yummy, peas and carrots i kept simple, just steamed them and tossed with in butter.


Washing it down with a bottle of Sierra Nevada Porter as I type.

Full as a tick!

Completely random dinner, turned out lovely:

Poached chicken breasts in stock for 20 mins.
Fried slices of sweet potato in olive oil till golden, added chicken stock and simmered for 15 mins, threw in chick peas and baby spinach.Seasoned well and added various herbs that were lurking in the fridge. Chopped up the chicken and stirred the whole lot together.

Was very tasty indeed.

Getting there

Looking forward to a warming lamb casserole tonight! Used carrots, leeks, mushrooms, lardons and neck fillet. Added all the usual spices and 2tsps of Worchester sauce. Left out red wine this time though.

Also, my first time making dumplings for it so excited about that too.

Hopefully therell be enough left for tomorrow too, itl taste even better then!

Tonight I had a cholesterol fest. Scallops cooked in butter with scallions and a white wine reduction. Crab claws cooked in chopped garlic and butter. And oven cooked sliced pototoes with garlic, mustard and cream. Used 2 whole bulbs of garlic in 2 dishes. My god, it was heavenly. Forgot to take a pic though.

The Sweeper

Cooked a spicy lamb stew tonight, using a boned leg of lamb in a tomato based sauce, started off with sliced onions, garlic and ginger, and then using cumin, garam masala, sumac, tumeric, cinnamon and garam masala to flavour, with chick peas, potatoes and lentils to make up the carbohydrate element of the stew

Last night we went truly gourmet with a Mizzoni's hot and spicy pizza with garlic dip. Tonight it's Thai red curry was basmati, and coriander naan, and tomorrow it's a baked and glazed ham with mash and green veg.

Made Jamie Olivers Mad morrocan lamb yesterday, it's a roasted shoulder of lamb, covered with raisin cous-cous and baked in the oven along with some halved lemons. Cous-cous goes crunchy on the outside with the lamb falling off the bone underneath.
Squeezed the roasted lemon jam/juice into a pot of natural yoghurt to serve and had it alongside lots of fresh coriander, sliced red chilli and flatbreads.

Leftovers for lunch today nyom

Yesterday was slow smoked spicy corn fed chicken. I used an ounce of mesquite chips in the smoker. Very nice and the leftovers made a great lunch.

Last night we had a roast spatchcocked chicken with boiled potatoes and brocolli. I had a idea for creamed celeriac with spices as a side dish, but a disaster with a dodgy pot blender meant both pot and celeriac were binned.

Tonight we had a chicken stew with veggies and pearl barley.

Edgedinblue

last night had a big bowl of chilli

Dined in Avova Kilmacanouge yesterday and had the burger for mains which did exactly as it said on the tin!

However had the salt and pepper starter of Calimari which was truly magnificent. So many time I have salivated for Calimari only to be served rubber but this was perfect. Some others at the table had the same and raved about it so fair dues to the Chef in the Fern Tree restaurant!

Tonight we had Caprese salad when the kids were having their dinner. That is now done and was good. Later on I will stick on a leg of lamb joint marinated in herbs and will serve with some baby root veg and roast spuds. Jacobs Creek reserve Shiraz will and should accompany well (just as well I got the second bottle!!)
