Plus the bacon bits left from rendering the bacon fat before cooking the bacon in it. (cooked to the sounds of DanceFM - The Beat of Romania)[/img]

Those peas look ridiculously fresh! They look like they're still growing!

Spag bol. The two year old had three bowls!!! You take what you can get. :pac:

Thanks. Lidl frozen petit pois. I just put a serve in a plastic container, cover with water and zap on high in the microwave for 1:40, so they are heated rather than cooked. Drain the water and done. normally I would melt some butter on and sprinkle some salt but the main dish was already incredibly rich with the mushrooms cooked in butter and the bacon fat so butter would have been too much and there's enough salt from the bacon.

No cooking tonight, just a super quick food hack I recently came up with. Half a can of Tesco Plant Chef rich tomato and basil soup. Bulk that with Tesco mixed bean salad and add half a sheet of sliced deluxe traditional smoked ham from Lidl, grind of pepper and zap in the microwave.

I know it's probably been asked a thousand times but what are folk using to post pictures? Photobucket seems to think I exist but that's as far as I can get

imgbox.com . Upload, click on the 'full size' button and select the link in the rightmost box and then paste the link in your reply, but delete the link bits that are to the left of the starting [i​mg] tag and to the right of the ending [/i​mg] tag.

I also use imgbb.com, but have found that site alters the colour balance of photos sometimes so I'm tending to use it less than the other when I really want my colour/white balance editing to be preserved.

First thing from the box from Whelans - 2+ inch thick salt-aged sharing striploin that's actually from Hannan Meats - reverse seared with chips, cheating pepper sauce (Knorr powder but made with cream and milk, not water) and heavily cooked down onions and mushrooms (sauteed in butter, seasoned with paprika and worcestershire sauce).

This has even beaten any steak I've ever done on the griddle in the BBQ. Real proper sear on the outside - done on an as hot as possible stainless skillet - perfect medium rare on the inside. Not sure sous vide would be any better; probably equal but this was a lot less faff.

25 quid for the steak, for two people, is a bit more than a 9.99 for two deal in a supermarket but so worth it.

Should of said I'm using android phone

igCorcaigh

Linguine with a pancetta and broccoli, sun-dried tomato and paprika sauce. Just a little taster.



I was out of my usual pasta toppings, so had to make do with cheddar.

I would usually top with pecorino, hazelnuts or rocket. Toppings are essential for pasta!

When you upload your image to postimg.cc, you are then given a list of links to copy. I tend to use "hotlink for forums".

The link can then be pasted into your post.

Had risotto with chorizo (was nice I swear!) yesterday and arancini with spicy tomato sauce this evening. What's a diet :pac:

postimage.org is great, it works on android, ios and pc

Upload your photo then copy and paste the Hotlink For Forums code.

Edit: igCorcaigh beat me to it!

Only problem with those free to upload sites is that when they eventually go so does the pictures in your post. Some of my recipes in the Cooking Club have no pictures for that reason.

Tempura - coat in egg and flour and deep fry.

Make an oversized prawn coctail.

I roast peppers, cherry tomatoes, courgettes, red onion and garlic. I cook pasta and prawns and mix with creme fraiche and pesto and the juices of the roasting dish for an easy tasty dinner.

Prawn omelette is nice, add what you fancy to it. Very quick and easy.

Mystery Egg

Gambas pil pil

Put a very large glug of olive oil into a cold pan and squeeze in 6 cloves of garlic and a chopped chilli. Add your prawns, salt and pepper.

When prawns are sizzling and cooked (it won't take long) remove from the pan and eat piled on toasted ciabatta or sourdough.

Beetroot , goats cheese, orange and walnut salad.

sammyjo90

Beef chilli and a baked potato.

Homemade pizza. My half had goats cheese, mozzarella, red onion chutney (homemade from my mam), red onion and tomato. I also sprinkled it with oregano, but had taken a bite out of it before I remembered, so this is the before picture :P

Excuse the fact it’s half eaten, I was eager!

The plaice was landed this morning, incredible.

We had Indian takeaway tonight. Chana Aloo Palak and a Veg Bhuna shared between my mum and I. My dad got a Tandoori mixed grill with pilau. I had a garlic and corriander naan.

Penne alla Vodka last night

Shenshen

The parathas turned out really nice this time, but I think I'll try less floury potatoes next time.

Fillet Steak Medium Rare, Roast Spuds, Pepper Sauce all washed down with Dada Malbec for our 4 year anniversary dinner

I cooked fillet steaks too on Saturday for myself and my mum - delicious! I made my own pepper sauce, it's actually very easy! This is the recipe I used: http://ilovecooking.ie/recipe-items/peppercorn-sauce/

No pics but we had a delicious home made chicken satay last night and leftovers today.

We had a beautiful Chinese take away last night. Beef in black bean sauce. Delicious.

would love a decent recipe please? Its on my to do list. Ive been following this forum since I started boards but only started really cooking last year during lockdown! Im really enjoying it....

miamee

We use this revipe for the satay sauce: https://havebutterwilltravel.com/keto-satay-sauce/ and other than that will cook beef or chicken in a pan wirh a mix of veggies, usual some red pepper, mushrooms, tenderstem broccoli and add the sauce once they are cooked. We have never added the liquid stevia to the sauce though and don't always have lime juice...in other words we sometimes make it up as we go along

Here's a satay recipe I mostly follow and reduce the quantities: https://shesimmers.com/2009/03/how-to-make-thai-peanut-sauce-my-moms.html

Thai Gold Massaman curry paste can be got from Dunnes. I use moscovado sugar rather than refined.

+1 on this recipe. It's my daughters favorite dinner she'd eat it like soup if she was let.

She's a bit mad about peanut butter in general though, again she'd eat it out of the jar with a spoon if she could!

awec

Beef stew.
