Food, Drink & Dining Out What did you cook for dinner last night?

[Bazzar]

assuming its the same as cauliflower cous cous?

Cauli cous cous is pulsed very fine, the rice (my preferance) is about twice the size off a match head.

 

[Power Raid]

Yep, and its magnificent. Heaps better than rice and so easy and quick to make.......

Chop your cauli into small peices then pop into a food processor, completely cover with water and pulse for no more than 2 seconds (the water creates a vortex so its super quick and efficient) and strain. Thats it. Then steam and it's ready to go. Its brilliant with curry and after a kight steam you can fry it in oil and add chorizo, prawns, peas and some egg for the best fried cauli rice.

I do the same thing as a substitute for pasta. I never thought of it as a replacement for rice but good idea.

Thanks!

Just remember 2 seconds is perfect, 3 seconds is cous cous and 4 seconds is like puree. It's a very fine line when you have water in the processor. Also never load up the processeor with cauli, keep it around 1/4 full, just take your time and do it in heaps of smaller batches

And I do enough to last a few days and just keep it in an air tight tub in the fridge and just take it out and steam it when nesessary.

I'm too old and lazy to use the processor.

I just use a knife.

It's like making love to a beautiful woman and mastubating, just not the same.

Feeling lazy last night so had something easy. The Casa Barelli Premium Porcini Mushroom and Truffle Traingioli pasta is another level in terms of supermarket pasta. From Aldi. Great stuff with a tiny bit of melted butter.

Tonight will be Pete Evan's Thai Chicken Cakes.
Cooked them before and they are a definite 10 out of 10

Laksa.....yum

 

[Papa Juggs]

Spicy beans on toast with arugula.

I don't care for the word "rocket" when referring to leafy greens. I think we need to integrate our food names with America to make things easier to understand. Using the word coriander for seeds and leaf? Might there be a better way?

It just leads to watching recipe videos and thinking to yourself. What the * is chard?

I thought it was roquette?

been living on chicken and mince for a bit, Is Beef expensive down south ? Ridiculous up here. Still have a big number at home so we don't get keen on buying $28kg for rump steak

I'm not cooking very much lately as it's too hot. I'm experimenting with different kinds of salad. Tonight was a coleslaw with eggs, bacon and aioli. Nice.

Same, I'm getting a bit sick of coleslaw though.

I've been told that people post pictures of their food on Instagram

But not a bad idea.

Dice tomato, cucumber and onion and marinate in balsamic or apple cider vinegar. Yum.

It's one thing to just....off the cuff, describe what you ate for a meal. But taking a picture of it is pretty low.

 

[The Dice Man]

We've been getting ready for Xmas so we've made 800 grams of foie gras, plus another seperate 400 grams with fresh truffle. We bought the 45 gram truffle yesterday for 54 € and tonight had fresh truffle risotto. For entre home made salmon gravlax. Our dog ate the packets of duck liver, plus chicken wings.

It's cold but we all eat like gourmands.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Half a kilo of low fat mince, half a kilo of vegetables, half a cup of water and a heap of sichuan sauce. Eaten over two meals with 250 grams of brown rice and added chilli. Will cook the same thing tomorrow (missus is overseas for 3 weeks so I am back in the kitchen). Took the easy option tonight and bought from local Viet cafe - chilli mussels with vegetables.
