This is not a photogenic meal but may I introduce you to the best sandwich I have ever had? Made meatballs topped with shredded mozzarella and cheddar in passata with a bit of sugar, loads of salt & pepper. Served in warm, soft brown rolls with the sauce from the meatballs, strong cheddar and mayo. [SWEAR WORD] this was good. The combination of cheese that tastes cheesey when cooked with mozzarella so it was both cheesey and stretchy and the tomato sauce was beyond tasty.
Messy as meatballs shot out of a cannon at my jumper but I am sold. Meatball sandwiches forever more.
Meatballs siempre.

Do you make your own chips? I ask because I bought a bag of blue masa on a 'BLUE MASA!!! MUST BUY!!' whim when I saw it for non-extortionate prices in a shop a couple of months ago. Never done anything with it, I think tortilla chips might be the way to go but not sure how to go about it
It was crazy delicious. I do not make my own chips. I would like to make my own as I cannot find unsalted chips anywhere and they are especially delicious. If I did try making them, I would probably make corn tortillas, then cut them into chips, brush them with oil and bake them. I'm sure they'd taste better deep fried but I can't be doing with all the faff of deep frying these days!
I do buy blue tortilla chips online when I can get them. You can buy them on Amazon when they're not out of stock and they are intensely tasty.
Tonight for dinner we had more unexpected guests so I cobbled a meal together from what we had.
Our starter was butternut squash and carrot soup with some soda bread, all home-made.
The main course was a Southwestern potato salad with stuffed portobello mushrooms. The potato salad consisted of cubed, roasted, spiced sweet potatoes, tossed with roasted corn and cooked, canned black beans. The dressing was made from olive oil, lime juice, finely chopped red onion, cider vinegar, fresh garlic and tabasco. Then I crumbled a block of feta on top and scattered over some coriander. The mushrooms were seasoned and stuffed with goats cheese, and then topped with a crumb made from bread, lemon zest and parmesan. I drizzled them with olive oil and baked them, and then served with a drizzle of a balsamic reduction.
So a real mish mash but somehow it all worked together.
The guests brought sugar cookies with a chocolate dipping sauce so we were a well fed crew.

Valentines menu turned out to be a mixed bag, starter and main were good, dessert...... not so good
Starter was simply mussels in garlic butter with some nice fresh crunchy bread on the side.
Main was fillet steak on a bed of saffron and spinach risotto, topped with sweet potato crisps.
The plan for dessert was individual cheesecakes, what came out of the oven was overcooked vanilla and passion fruit flavored scrambled eggs on burnt chocolate and orange biscuits, cant win them all I suppose :rolleyes:0 -
I ended up using cream in the whiskey and mushroom sauce, scallion mash and also in the spinach as it had to be used up.Tonight however we are having striploin steaks, scallion mash, spinach cooked in milk and butter, and I will make a mushroom and whiskey sauce too.
Not a great photo, but the food was fantastic.

Made it to the butcher early on Saturday morning to pick up some pork shoulder. Came home and made a spice rub (paprika, cayenne pepper, desert salt, black pepper, cumin, thyme, mustard powder, brown sugar, coffee) and prepped the pork leaving it in the fridge for 3 hours.
Slow roasted in the oven for approx 6 hours turning and basting once in between.
Served with a mac n cheese (gruyere & pecarino romano & smoked garlic) and homemade pull apart buns (whilst they were tasty, they weren't light enough- new recipe needed) and also an apple and beetroot slaw.
We had leftovers for the remainder of the weekend including pulled pork, chili ketchup and poached eggs on sourdough for a tasty Sunday brunch.0 -

Howdy, my first post here! There are tonnes of recipes in this thread that I want to try
Last night's dinner was my Dad's scrumptious steak Diane and my Mum's sauteed potatoes. Serious cooking duo!
The sauce is chopped onion, tomato and mushrooms with brandy, cream, French mustard and beef stock. It's lovely with pork steak too. It doesn't look great on the plate but tastes divine!0 -

The last bit of the pulled pork leftovers were used in last night's dinner (and today's lunch).
I was going to do a pulled pork Ramen but knowing I'd be bringing a portion to work I didn't want it too runny so it turned out to be a pulled pork noodle curry of sorts!
onion, smoked garlic, chesnut mushrooms, leeks, red pepper, coconut milk, fish sauce, soy sauce, S&P, cumin, egg noodles.

Ages ago B0jangles mentioned Laoganma chili sauces and sparked my interest so today I medicated away an irritating day in work by hitting the Asian Market for a new bottle of sriracha and a jar of chili black bean goodness. First though was that it looked gank and would be consigned to the back of my press with the other experimental jars of things I've frittered money away on but then I tried some. Oh my. So good, savoury and hot and addictive. I was eating the black beans from the jar with a spoon before I got a hold of myself.
Then because I had chili waiting to be heated for dinner but also could not not have rice and my new best friend, black bean chili sauce, I had courses. One small bowl of chili, 1 plate of rice, veg, Laoganma, soy & a little sriracha for some sweetness. I feel like I have the ready brek dragon in my belly.
Followed by a couple of marshmallows filled with grape-y stuff. Happy.

First attempt at pork gyoza tonight - not too shabby. Fried first and then steamed. I think I need a better cooking method as they came out quite oily. But so so delish! And the hint of ginger from the filling was yum
There were supposed to be leftovers for lunch but they disappeared.....0 -
