blue grenadier baked with shallots and white wine - once cooked i take the fish out and put the shallots and white wine over the stove and add cream which i pour over fish, cauliflower mash and steamed green veg (broccoli and zucchini)

That sounds awesome! Personally I cannot seem to find a dish where I like zucchini, but aside from that it looks good. Do you have a recipe that has a cream supplement, if you don't like cream? Would butter work?

 

[Jab]

24 hour slow cooked blade @ 90 deg. Wow.

I did a similar thing with beef ribs; but they were finished over a flame. Slow cooked meat is fantastic, and generally so easy to do.

I have been looking for a preparation recipe for this and they all seem to differ.

One of my issues is, as I'm not a fan is there a substitute for sauerkraut or would it be ok without it?

I'm not a big fan of sauerkraut but it just balances this sandwich, and in particular the onion, so well... I wouldn't know an alternative... Maybe a bit of braised endive?

That's crazy, it's such a great versatile vegetable that compliments so many things... If you want to try a good recipie with it I'd be happy to explain how my fiancée taught me how to make a genuine, south of France version of ratatouille, which is sensational on its own, or turned into a vegetarian pasta, or vegie lasagne that is delicious, and not anywhere near as heavy as a meat lasagne.

Only problem in aus is finding herb de Provence... It is not at all the same without it. And don't even think about using 'Italian herbs'.

Personally I love ratatouille with spicy sausage, or duck with slow pan fried scalloped potatoes cooked in duck fat.

Zucchini flash fried with good olive oil and herb de Provence is also an excellent side of greens.

Secret to loving zucchini, is finding herb de Provence IMO.

Or zucchini fritters in beer batter. Man zucchini is ******* awesome. Get into it.

I'd be more than happy to try your fiancés zucchini dish. Is that a dinner invitation?

Hahah she'll be back in 23 days,... My stomach can't wait. But it's useless with herb de Provence, which is a blend of dried rosemary, savory, thyme, oregano, basil, marjoram, and fennel seeds. Sometimes maybe a bit of lavender too.

Without it you're wasting your time

I'll wait until she's back then

Wagyu steak.

 

[Lach72]

Nah dunno somewhere in Mosman Park I think. I'm pretty happy with anything half decent because you can't get bugger all out here.

Any recommendations for Delis from anyone living in Perth atm?

Charlie's in Beechboro. Also Scutti's in South Perth, if you want to pay a bit

 

[Lach72]

I do a soup with zucchini, chick peas, bacon and dill...lots of dill. Beautiful

 

[nicky]

If you remove the chickpeas that sounds ok

Zucchini in a soup would pretty much become tasteless, yeah? I could handle that. Do you use a bacon broth for the liquid or just a chicken stock?

 

[Lach72]

Just a chicken stock. Fry off onion, garlic and some fennel seeds with 4 rashes bacon. Soften and slightly brown, add 2 grated zucchini and deglaze the pan. Add stock, add 2 tins chick peas. Add a whole bunch chopped dill, lots of black pepper.
Done. Not much salt needed due to bacon.

My wife cooked but I forgot what that was....sigh

 

[pantskyle]

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

Ask your old man why I can't buy mutton anymore. I love that meat.

 

[pantskyle]

Seriously people my stomach is growling reading this thread, please post pics dammit.

 

[Bazzar]

Not dinner but an amazing snack. Dark chocolate covered bacon.

 

[nicky]

OMG!!! really?

 

[Bazzar]

Really. Try it, ita amazing. I melted 80% lindt with some coconut cream and macadamia nut oil (double boiled over the stove) put wet skewers through streaky bacon rashes and bake in oven, when cooked let cool (leave skewers in) then dip in choc (also slightly cooled) and put in fridge until cold. Then eat all in one go. Flavor burst X 100

 

[nicky]

.....................sounds amazing.

 

[Bazzar]

.....................sounds amazing.

Sweet and salty, the perfect combination (and very healthy)

 

[nicky]
