I have no idea. Test it there ... for science! I took the idea of the deep fried noodles from Marion's Kitchen on YT, was watching a video earlier on today for inspiration. She deep fried some wonton noodles sliced up.

Chicken curry!

With Haldiram's biryani

Some of the meals we had on our holibobs 💗☀️🍗🍤🌵🧄🌶️🍻

sporina · 29-04-2023 6:44pm

Grr some pics are sideways - dunno why

igCorcaigh · 29-04-2023 9:37pm

^^ Looks amazing @sporina !

Intrigued about the green and red sauces (reminds me of South Indian food LOL!)

Some beautiful looking fish there...

Tell us about that creamy dish... veal maybe? And that sliced dish... chicken maybe? Looks yum 😍

I must admit that I have never eaten shellfish, like prawns, in the shell 😔 too squeamish maybe! But looks awesome!

It all looks fab though, and hope you had a great time in Lanzarote! 🤗

the sauces are Mojo - Canarian fayre.. https://www.guidetocanaryislands.com/red-green-mojo-sauces-recipe/

we loved em - brought a few jars home.. great with chicken in particular and spuds..

we love seafood/shellfish - sucked those prawn heads I tell ya - omg so sweet..

the creamy dish is a chicken in peppercorn sauce.. a bit too saucy for me but the dish was delicious to be fair..

sliced chicken - chargrilled - my fav dish tbh.. the flavour was unreal..

Paella for 1 made to order (hard to find - usually min 2 persons) - 30 mins wait but worth it.. hmm..

we had a fab time thanks - LZ has so much to offer - had not been b4... did loads of exploring etc.. food was great too..

Not been posting much, but still cooking away.

Nashville hot chicken sandwiches were a recent effort.. underwhelming, found this disappointing. I followed a quite authentic recipe from the US that required the use of some of the frying oil for the final baste. It's mixed with spices and sugar. All I could taste was cayenne and hot fat.

Been making tacos quite often with more success. I have a good rendition on pork carnitas that uses coke and oranges in the cooking liquid.

igCorcaigh · 30-04-2023 8:49pm

^^ Very drool worthy @Black Sheep! El Yucateco hot sauce is good...

Have you tried corn tortillas?

Cajun wings with a homemade sauce from left over pizza sauce from yesterday

Comerman · 30-04-2023 8:54pm

Figured it out 😊

Yes, I mix it up tortilla wise. I even like the cheap old el paso hard taco shells!

El Paso tortilla chips are the best! Must try the hard shells...

igCorcaigh · 01-05-2023 12:50am

Sausages, spinach, potato gratin (from Tesco!)

Dave_The_Sheep · 01-05-2023 7:17pm

First time trying gnocchi. Storebought, but they're not bad at all. Going to have to look into making them properly at home.

01-05-2023 7:53pm

Lamb Koftas on the grill over lumpwood, some home made egg fried, mixed leaves, and Naan bread.

May have worked better if I hadn't snuck a bite BEFORE the pic!

Stuffed

igCorcaigh · 02-05-2023 12:39am

Pasta bake and salad

con747 · 02-05-2023 12:55am

Batch of pasta and meatballs

Shenshen · 02-05-2023 9:39am

I felt like a proper feast on Sunday, so spent a bit of time in the kitchen for matar paneer, dal tadka, aloo gobi and some fresh homemade masala parathas

Dave_The_Sheep · 02-05-2023 9:32pm

That's superb, Shenshen. I am *very* jealous.

Ghee and super hot cast iron, finally resulting in a sear I'm delighted with. Caper/anchovy/garlic butter accompaniment..

igCorcaigh · 02-05-2023 9:36pm

That looks amazing Dave! "Caper/anchovy/garlic butter" 😝 I'm sold.

^^ Ghee is brilliant stuff, great for high temp cooking.

This one is the job.

Dave_The_Sheep · 02-05-2023 9:38pm

We have this one usually. No idea what brands are good.

igCorcaigh · 02-05-2023 9:47pm

I've tried similar Asian brands. I find the Irish (err, the one I posted is British) brands of ghee are really good, but also more expensive, and hard to find. Maybe around €6 per small jar. Great for fried potatoes.

igCorcaigh · 02-05-2023 9:58pm

@Shenshen That looks so beautiful and tasty. If you ever come to Cork, you must try Iyer's, if you have not already been!

I'm in Cork - well, Cobh.

I've been to Iyers a few times, it's definitely miles better than your average Indian takeaway.

Work colleague gave me a Rainbow Trout yesterday he caught.

Don't eat a fraction of the amount of fish I'd like to as my wife dislikes all fish bar the battered white type! Haven't fished in more than 20 years either though I did a lot of it as a teenager. It was delicious I really must make a habit of doing both again.
