  • @Kow - that chilli, is it based on the recipe that was posted a few pages back?

    I'm planning on something similar this weekend, collected some ingredients yesterday. Question though, you've used 2 whole cans of those chipotles in abode. I took the recipe as meaning 2 actual chipotles from a single can. Am i just being stupid? 2 cans seems like a lot though doesn't it?
  • There are probably two juicy ones in each can. Smoked jalepenos - so not too hot. I'm going to make some soon.

    The recipe is my own invention really but I guess chili has a fairly set recipe.

    it's two cans of chipotles, sauce and all. The flavor just gets absorbed and chipotle isn't so hot anyway. They're only little cans.

    My lamb burger recipe



    Made lamb burgers myself, were excellent. Great lamb from my butcher delivery (his streaky bacon is unbelievable too). Took a picture of the juicy, crusty beauties last night then managed to delete it. Had it real simple, just mint/caper/lemon/mayo sauce, paprika and cumin mixed into the meat before formed into patties and left in fridge for a bit so they held together, then a load of salt as they griddled. Tiny splash of Holy Fuck hot sauce on the sweet white bun, and it was good to go.
  • Wait sorry, better written here

    How about some lamb? Those burgers I made were 30 mins prep time and tasted amaze. You could even make them the night before your smash up to save shaky-hand time on Saturday.

    -  Get the best mince you can
    -  mix in plenty of smoked pap, cumin and black pepper
    -  form very very loosely into cricket balls
    -  make squares of cling film and layer them up with a sheet inbetween
    -  when you put em in the fridge, the weight will make them the right shape


    next day..

    - get your griddle/pan nice and hot
    - warm plate in the oven
    - no oil needed whatsoever if nice fatty lamb
    - shit loads of salt and more pepper as you flip em, about 4 mins each side for rare
    -  little tip is make a little indentation in the middle with your thumb which stops the juice running out
    -  rest on warm plate for ten mins when done to make sure all that moisture stays inside

    Get good buns, that'll hold it all in (brioche are amazing if you can find them). I just made a simple burger spread of mayo mixed with chopped mint, lemon juice and zest and capers. That on one side of the bun and some chilli sace on the other and you got a damn fine burger.

  • Nice. I love burgers without breadcrumbs. And lamb is my favourite meat.
  • Anyone got a beginner's veg - curry recipe?

    I really like the South American style with potatoes and peas, my mate originally from Guyana makes me this incrdible one, but she'd never share the recipe. Ideally somthing like that.
  • Ingredients
    1 red onion,
    2 garlic cloves
    2 red chillis (or number to taste, just normal ones are fine, you’re not really looking for smoky tastes here, just some chilli taste and heat)
    2 tbsp of your chosen cooking oil for curry
    2 medium carrots

    2 parsnips
    2 sweet potatoes
    1 tsp ground coriander
    1 tsp ground turmeric
    1 tsp ground cumin
    300ml chicken stock
    1 roasted red pepper, fresh or from a jar

    50g creamed coconut
    1 juicy lime (or juice)


    Thinly slice the onion.

    Peel the garlic and slice in thin rounds.

    De seed chilli and chop into rounds.

    Heat the oil in a spacious lidded pan and stir in the onion, garlic and chilli. Cook gently, giving the odd stir for 5 minutes.

    Peel the parsnips and cut into chunks then add to the pan and stir in well to cover with remaining oil, etc.

    Leave to cook on the lower heat for about 5 minutes.

    Peel the sweet potatoes and medium carrots, cutting both into chunks as before.

    Season generously with pepper (not so much salt, depends on how much is in the stock) & now add the spices and cook for a further 5 minutes, giving the occasional stir.

    Now turn up the heat and stir fry for a couple of minutes to cook the spices and get the flavour out, then add 200ml of the stock. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and cover.

    Simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.

    Chop and add the pepper.

    Crumble the coconut into the remaining 100ml water and stir in the coconut (liquid now goes creamy), squeeze in lime juice to taste. Grate a little of the zest over the top.
  • Sounding mighty fine Rob, Weadre, OP that shit.
  • Found a nice chicken thigh Guyanan on my travels, I'll leave it here.

  • Sounding mighty fine Rob, Weadre, OP that shit.

    No probs man. Bang an normal potato in there for a little more body and up the heat with a little chilli powder when you cook the spices if you fancy (to taste really). I stick a little fresh coriander on top as well at the end, but I know you're not a fan..
  • Added, looks good might give it a go on the weekend.
  • So i'm cooking this chilli. How much of this liquid smoke am I putting in? and cacao.

    25g cacao and a splash o smoke did for me
  • I'm going to have to make this chilli soon.

    I think we should do a recipe club. 1 recipe every fortnight, we all cook it and compare notes.
  • fook i forgot to put the cacao in. When was i supposed to do that? Is it too late to dump it in now its all simmering away?

    Stick it in now
  • I never put mine in until the last 5 minutes anyway, once I've sorted the balance of everything else.
  • Hope it turned out good man, shouldn't matter when you put it in.

    I got two pork shoulders I didn't really know what to do with, but found a recipe that said put them in the slow cooker and make pulled pork.

    I'd never actually done either before and Mmmm mmm. I used a basic bbq recipe last time but want to do a more traditional Hot Pork Stand for tonight. Any suggestions? Is it just pork gravy and stuffing?

    There was a pulled pork recipe I saw on here but I can't find it now.

    Not tried it but there's also lots of tips in the comments (and quite a bit of disagreement)

    That's brilliant cheers.
  • That's cool!
    I strongly recommend making your own corn tortillas (I'm GF so I can't have the shop ones which are adulterated with wheat flour), dead easy to do.
  • First experiment which will culminate in my own burrito barrow in MK which is of course never going to actually happen.

    Global Scouse Day is 28th February. If you want to get involved...


    I don't know that ginger scouser, honest.

  • Edit: Since people are actually making this I've tidied it up and added some bits that I forgot to put in at the time.

    Rich pork ragu. Serves 4/6.

    This is piss easy to make and is the bollocks and cheap. It only takes about 40 mins but you'd swear it'd been bubbling away for a weekend.

    1 largish glass of red
    A really heaped teaspoon of fennel seeds
    A bottle of good passata (not tinned tomatoes)
    8 good pork sausages (don't skimp on these, Duchy Originals work best, but any really good organic butcher's ones will do)
    A 3 fingered pinch of dried chilli flakes
    4 fat cloves of garlic
    Fresh tagliatelle
    Glug of olive oil (enough to just coat the hot pan)
    A cast iron pot or a really really heavy frying pan. A cast iron frying pan will do nicely.

    Peel and slice the garlic.
    Put the pot/pan on a high heat for about 5 mins.
    Meanwhile, score the skin of each sausage lengthways with a sharp knife and the meat should pop out whole.
    Chop the sausage meat up into smallish bits.
    Add the oil to the very hot pan and throw in the meat. 
    Stir with a wooden spoon and try not to get burnt. It will stick to the pan but you want that. Just keep moving, mashing and scraping it so it cooks reasonably evenly.
    When the meat is brown and has a few crusty bits, and the fat has rendered out and the bottom of the pan is worryingly stuck with dark (not black) sausage bits, add the red wine.
    Get scraping. You want all that stuck stuff at the bottom to come off. 
    When the vino has largely evaporated and it is starting to make the frying sound again add the garlic, chilli flakes and fennel seeds and stir for another minute.
    Fill the wineglass with water and throw it in. You might have to do some more scraping if it's sticking again. Add the passata, salt and pepper and reduce till it's glossy, thick and rich. 
    Let it rest till it's hot but not scolding and toss it with the pasta you've just cooked. You might want grated parmesan but frankly, it's rich enough. Just make sure the pasta is evenly coated and maybe add an extra spoon of sauce on top if you're feeling brave. 

    Variations:

    Don't be fooled by the small list of ingredients and quick cooking time. It's hardcore. If you're not drunk or related to Henry VIII you can take the edge off it by using a modest glass of white wine or just a splash of red and more water for scraping. 

    Please someone try this. It's one of the best pasta dishes I know.

Howdy, Stranger!
