The GF Recipe Thread

[RedinSweden]

Could it be time for the "more complicated but ace food" thread.

 

It could well be. I'll whack the recipe up after lunch. i have to translate it first.

[Best Believe It]

If anyone wants to try and do a three bean or basic pasta salad, a really good dressing is 2 parts Olive Oil to one part Soy Sauce and one part Lemon Juice. Add chopped ginger and garlic and basil. Ace.

Fanjita mix (as Mrs Paul insists on calling it) mixed with a beer and sliced up chicken breasts, peppers, red onion. Fry in a pan for about ten mins until chicken is cooked. Serve with tortillas, plain yog/sour cream/creme fraiche and cheese. Wash down with a chilly bevvy. Start to plate in eleven mins (assuming you've marinated the chicken earlier, which takes a grand total of five minutes to do).

 

Trying your fajita variation tonight Paul.

Any new ideas anyone?

[Owen]

Tonight I had a chicken breast grilled with some Nando's Piri-piri sauce, with roast veg and wholegrain rice cooked with pilau rice seasoning. Ace.

[Paul]

Do a simple tomato sauce (tin of chopped toms, olive oil, Tommy K, salt, Tabasco) while cooking up some good quality sausages. Chop sausages, when done, and mix into sauce. Then pour over a pan of cooked penne and peas and mix. Stick this in an oven dish and put in loads of diced mozzarella. Grate a load of Parmegiana over it and bake for about ten minutes on a medium to high heat. If you name is Remmington Remboid, simply leave out the sausages. If you're a girl, leave out the chilli-ness.

Tonight I diced some pork and fried it in olive oil with some leek and apple (seasoned to taste). When it was done I threw it into a simple Romaine lettuce, apple, walnut and cherry tomato salad with a dribble of olive oil over. Tasty.

Kedgeree.

 

Kedgeree (or occasionally kitcherie, kitchari or kitchiri) is a dish consisting of flaked fish (usually smoked haddock), boiled rice, eggs and butter. It originated amongst the British colonials in India hence was introduced to the United Kingdom as a popular breakfast dish in Victorian times, part of the then fashionable Anglo-Indian cuisine. During that time, fish was often served for colonial breakfasts so that fish caught in the early morning could be eaten while it was still fresh. It is rarely eaten for breakfast now, but is still a popular dish.

 

Most recipes now contain curry powder (or just turmeric) and coriander leaves. Sometimes cream or yogurt are stirred into the rice after cooking to make the dish richer. Early recipes however do not usually have these more recent innovations, using parsley instead.

 

The name is derived from an Indian dish (khichdi in Hindi also known as Pongal in Tamil) made from rice, lentils, onions and spices. Vegetarian and vegan versions of kedgeree exist, based far more closely on the original khichdi recipes, based on rice and either masoor dal (red lentils) or moong dal (green lentils).

 

This is my most faveorite thing at the minute. For veggies you could subsitute the fish for something else also.

New recipe I tried tonight was a 'Warm Mediterranean new potato salad'.

 

Heat some Olive Oil in a large frying pan, cut some new potatoes in half and throw them in the pan with a couple of cloves of garlic. Fry for about two minutes then add 50ml vegetable stock and simmer for 20 minutes. When the liquid has gone sticky thrown in some halved cherry toms, basil, pine nuts and mozarella. When the mozarella starts melting it's ready.

 

Serve with whatever you like, I had griddled chicken.

 

Extremely tasty.

[Owen]

Sounds good! I was actually thinking of bumping this thread earlier - made a honey and chilli stir fry from scratch.

 

Chopped up garlic? May try this tomorrow.

It's as good a thing as I've cooked in ages, well worth a go.

 

I just crushed them a bit and threw them in, but you could chop it up.

 

I've just got a slow cooker so does anyone have any recipe ideas? I'm starting tomorrow with a simple beef and tomato stew thing.

 

Edit - recipe us up on the stir fry.

[Karl_b]

I didn't see this reply last time but I've definitely been a bit more experimental with food lately. I go through spells of not being arsed to cook at all (it can be quite a hassle for one person sometimes) but when I posted that one I was getting geared up for summer grub and now I just came across some new recipes and I'm really starting to enjoy (and understand) cooking more and more.

So, where's the "More complicated but ace food" thead then?

I will do - to asda tomorrow lunchtime for pine nuts and stuff!

 

Well I was going to do chicken fried rice, but couldn't be bothered in the end.

 

Cook up noodles, then rinse them with cold water to take out the heat.

 

Chop up your usual stir fry stuff. I had chicken, spring onions, garlic, pepper, cashews and carrot.

 

Fry up the chicken in light oil, adding chilli powder and honey as it's browning. Take out the chicken and put aside, and in the same oil/honey mix add the garlic and onions then the rest of the veg. Chuck in more honey and a touch of water if necessary. Put the chicken back in, and soy sauce to taste, then the cold noodles.

Sounds good that, it's on the list for the week. All I need is cashew nuts.

[Owen]

Oh, and sugarsnap peas!

Cheeky tip on cooking with garlic: use a microplane grater on it rather than slicing or crushing. You retain all the garlicky flavours but avoid the twin disasters of burnt garlic or garlic bombs. If I'd wanted a big fat chunk of garlic in my mouth I'd have bought a head of it from the green grocer and eaten the fucker raw rather than order a dish in your establishment, Mr Lazy Arse restaurant chef.

Can I recommend last night's late snack of bacon and camembert butties?

Bacon = smoked back, camembert = slightly ripe.

:thumbsup:

[hamstrung]

Had this Rick Stein recipe on Saturday night.

 

Simple but delicious

The best and most simplest food though is toast. White bread loads of real butter.

Sweet Jesus, Karl! That was the tastiest thing I've had in a long, long time. Thanks for that.

[Karl_b]

Damn straight.

 

Your honey and chilli stir fry is penciled in for Wednesday.

[Owen]

Any more like that?
