Where did you get the beef hardCopy?

I got it from Brady's in Fairview, my new local butcher.

Really fantastic steaks.

Here's my dinner from Thursday: Homemade pizza with a pile of spuds. Topped with pepperoni, feta, baby corn and yellow peppers.

Pancake Tuesday!



unfortunately I don't have any pics of the actual pancakes as they were demolished as soon as they were made! had to make 2 rounds of batter!

melted the butlers dark chocolate went so well with strawberries and blueberries.

On a slightly off topic does anyone know of a decent place to stock up on healthy goods like nuts, fruits, seeds, lentils etc in Dublin. I find that the tescos etc have a limited enough choice and can be expensive!

Minder : Really liked the sound of that till I got to the mascarpone sauce...throw a non cheese sauce on that and I'm yours.

Beef and stout casserole with sweet potato mash last night.

Chickpea and spinach curry tonight.

Chicken thighs marinaded in lime juice, fish sauce, chilli and ginger and roasted in the oven until golden.

Served with egg noodles, stir-fried with crunchy vegetables, rice wine, sesame oil and soy sauce.

A lovely meal of leftovers and stuff to be used up.

Started with fillets of smoked mackerel, cold with lemon juice.

Then had butternut squash pan roasted (fried with a lid) with olive oil, salt, black pepper, cumin seeds and lemon juice; black beans from Saturday's steak dinner; couscous salad (served warm) from Monday's lamb shanks dinner.

All worked really well together with a glass of Albrino.

Herb-crusted rack of lamb, cooked medium, mashed potatoes and some quickly pan-fried peppers, onion and garlic.



Not too bad for a quick student dinner :P

Gloomtastic!

Last night I tried making Halusky for the first time. Saw it on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives a few weeks ago and it got rave reviews.

It's a Polish dish that is basically shredded cabbage, onions, egg noodles and butter so is as cheap as chips to feed a lot of people.

Here's the YouTube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-eL8u7SrlM

It was OK, kids had seconds which is the main test in our house. :rolleyes: I added some chopped Pancetta and the saltiness really added to it. One to develop further me thinks.....

Beef Stroganoff.

One of the tastiest, quickest and easiest meals to make.

Quickly sear some sliced steak (fillet is best, I used sirloin) and remove from the pan. Add some onions, sliced mushroom, a spoonful of paprika and season. Fry for a couple of minutes and then add the steak back in.

Add a dash of mustard and a good few tbsps of sour cream. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and whip it off the heat.

Serve with rice/ chips

Mmm, I've been meaning to make beef stroganoff for ages now. I will once I can afford decent meat.

Had homemade pizza last night but forgot to take a pic:(

Dough was 4:1 strong white flour:buckwheat flour.

1st pizza was cheese (Coolea and cheap mozzarella) and tomato with sliced jalapeños

2nd one was cheese and tomato and half the pizza with sliced olives and onion and the other half onion and sliced Austrian sausage.

First pizza was much better.
I'm still having big problems getting the pizza onto the hot stone in the oven without lots of stress and cursing!

Basically minced beef meat balls stew/soup (hard to know where one ends and the other begins at times!) with spuds, onion, beans, tomatoes, carrots, celery. Texture better on day three than day one.

Tonight was just a bit of a whatever is in the fridge.

I ended up having an omelette with chorizo, red pepper, orange pepper, shallots, manchego and mushrooms. With a salad with sweetcorn, cherry tomatoes, pinenuts and bean sprouts.

There's also currently some banana bread in the oven.

Slow roast duck legs crisped up in a hot oven with rhubarb and ginger jam, ginger, garlic, chilli, soy, rice wine, sesame oil and duck roasting juices; pak choi with ginger, garlic, spring onion and soy; Thai fragrant white rice; all scattered with fresh coriander and spring onion greens.

Really quick (if you roasted the duck legs yesterday) and easy but ohhhh soooo tasty:D

Veal tail braised in a white wine and tomato sauce very much like an osso bucco recipe. Ate that with a crusty white loaf and a winter salad of chicory, pear, stilton and rough croutons with a grain mustard dressing.

Today I had a lovely piece of Hake which I pan fried.
I made a compound butter of lime juice and zest, garlic, ginger and corriander which I added to some oil in a hot pan, put the fish in skin side down for about a minute and then turned it and cooked for another 45 seconds. Then I poured a little soy and honey in the pan after I removed the fish and poured this over the fish.

I served on top of some stir fried veggies and noodles which to which I added ginger, garlic, like zest, chilli, soy and honey.

Washed down with a glass of O'Hara's Red Ale, twas only yummy.

My first attempt at pasta sauce.

Half tin of chopped tomatoes.
Tbsp of Tomato Puree
Tbsp of dried grated cheese
4 chopped basil leaves
Pinch of sharwoods mixed herbs
Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of dried garlic
1/2 tsp of hot chilli sauce

Simmered on the pan to reduce the tomato juice.

Turned out really nice and was ready by the time the water boiled for my instant tortelloni.
