    Hi - do you have a recipe for that korma - looks great.

    I usually make them up as I go along. From what I recall, I used:

    1/2 head of cauliflower, broken into florets
    6 baby potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
    2 carrots, sliced
    handful of frozen peas

    For the sauce :

    1 onion, chopped
    1 tsp of garlic and ginger puree
    1 tsp of sesame seeds
    1 tbsp of desiccated coconut
    1 tsp of mustard seeds
    1/4 tsp of fennel seeds
    1/2 tsp of cumin seeds
    1 tsp of garam masala
    1/2 tsp of turmeric
    1 tsp of coriander

    1/2 tin of tomatoes
    ca 100ml of cream
    1 sachet of creamed coconut (50g)

    Boiled the vegetables in some salted water, drained and set aside.
    Fried the onion and ginger garlic paste in some ghee and mustard oil. Once the onion started to turn translucent, added in the sesame seeds, desiccated coconut, mustard seeds, fennel seed, and cumin seeds. Kept frying until the seeds started popping, then added the tomatoes and the remaining spices. Fried until the tomatoes were cooked through and changed colour (ca 5 minutes), then added in the cream, creamed coconut and some water to bring it all to the right consistency. Added in the boiled veg and the frozen peas and kept it cooking until the peas were heated through.

    Roasted butternut squash filled with lentils and rice, topped with feta cheese. And some naughty garlic baguette on the side.

    Is it just me or does corn not break down on the way out ?

    I fried mince, onions, garlic, some chicken stock and spices, and then put it in the peppers. I made the sauce separately and put it together with the peppers in a dish and threw in the oven. Added some parmesan under the tops near the end.

    Is this for eating raw or for cooking like corned beef?

    For cooking. For sambos, hash etc. Its basically corned beef. I used pureed celery for the sodium nitrate to keep the beef pink. I hope!

    I've never heard this before (the celery idea).
    Very interesting!

    Pork belly adobo made using this recipe https://fb.watch/6wtD-EITq7/

    I wouldn’t bother braising and deep frying the pork belly next time, I’ll just do my usual slow-roast but the sauce was delicious and the dish as a whole was a big hit.

    Roast beef with onion gravy. It was the nicest, most tender roast beef I've ever had :)

    Looks scrumptious Dizzy. What cut was it and where did you get it?

    We had a chicken and vegetable gratin for dinner. A few chips on the side. Delicious.

    It's the Specially Selected Irish Angus rib roast on the bone, from Aldi. It's always really good but this time it was exceptional. Costs around €22, we get a huge dinner for two off of it and freeze the rest for another big dinner each. There are usually two short ribs attached :)

    Chicken goujons and chips.

    Not so much what I had for dinner as what's left. Might put it up on Done Deal later, unless I suddenly find more room.

    We had turkey mince burgers, sweet potato fries and chipotle mayo. Usually use pork but wanted to be a tad healthier with the turkey
