[Catfish Alley]

so what did you do when the soup was presented?

Had a few bites, said "that's a shame" and made something else.

Was the couch comfy to sleep on?

slow cooked lamb shanks in red wine, rosemary, tomato & onion. pretty damn good. the miss was impressed.

plus the lamb is straight from my fathers farm, so on top of it tasting heaps better than anything at coles or woolies it is also free

 

[Lach72]

Sounds good. Love a lamb shank.

Try doing the same, then stripping the meat off and make a pasta sauce...make some fresh fettuccini and toss that in a garlic and herb butter, mix with sauce, add a sprinkle of gremolata and parmesan, massive glass of red on the side and you're a happy man

bone broth veg soup
meatballs with zucchini as pasta

 

[Bazzar]

ok. have composed myself. i see your point. but having traveled extensively throughout the red nation, including villages and rural areas, i have seen cuts of meat sitting on the roadside, dust, flies, you name it everywhere. it was still delicious, but not for people who are on strict diets

And i bet those Chinese have far superior gut flora than the westerners who are on a so called strict diet.

Anyone got any good recipes using brussels sprouts?

Anyone got any good recipes using brussels sprouts?

Lightly steamed and topped with grass fed butter, Himalayan salt, pepper. Pretty good accompaniment for a steak.

I know it's simple but it is one of the best ways of having it, just don't over cook it.

 

[Bazzar]

Anyone got any good recipes using brussels sprouts?

Yes, go to markets and buy sprouts, go home, walk to the nearest bin and empty sprouts into bin, then go to fridge and get out Cauli, Broc, Cabbage etc and steam and add heaps of butter.

Yeah that's usually enjoy them just by themselves with something like a steak. Very good point about not over cooking that ruins them, also need to be fresh.

Why, the taste or something?

Also, raw cabbage>>>cooked/steamed.

The taste. Their is nothing i cannot eat except for sprouts.

And steamed cabbage with bacon and butter is to die for.

Anyone got any good recipes using brussels sprouts?

Get some flat pancetta, say 50-100g. Small dice then fry off in Olive oil.

Add a handful of sage leaves and a couple of cloves chopped garlic.

Fry a little, throw in the halved sprouts and coat with the oil/pancetta/sage mix.

Few grinds black pepper. Add quarter cup unsalted stock slip a lid on for about 5 minutes, no more...at the last minute drop in a table spoon of butter...

Don't add any salt due to pancetta

 

[Catfish Alley]

Himalayan salt.

Why is this better than plain old rock salt?

 

[WALDENPOND]

Why is this better than plain old rock salt?

Because it sounds fancy.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Because it sounds fancy.

Sounds stupid.

 

[Catfish Alley]

As does grass fed butter.

 

[Drumroe]

As does grass fed butter.

I much prefer my butter when its grass fed, the butter stays much happier grazing on grass compared to when its locked in a fridge getting fed grains, and its truly reflected in the taste.

 

[Bazzar]

Why is this better than plain old rock salt?

Himalayan is rock salt from Pakistan.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Himalayan is rock salt from Pakistan.

I know. It's still salt.

 

[Bazzar]

I know. It's still salt.

Not just ordinary salt, its unprocessed "full compliment" salt, as in the full compliment of 83 minerals and trace elements. Massive difference to Saxa Iodised table salt.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Oh yeah. Interesting. How would you describe the difference in taste?
