Pork Cheeks, Butter Beans and Chorizo
On a recent visit to Waitrose, Kerri bought seven pork cheeks for the rather reasonable sum of just £1.67. We had been talking about cooking them for a while, and this seemed too good (and cheap) an opportunity to pass up. Something slow cooked seemed to be the way to go, and we [...]
Read More..>>Chillied Tortilla Soup and Chilli-Seasoned Pot Roasted Pork
So, to go with the tortillas we made earlier, we decided on a soup to start and something to fill them later. We had originally considered three courses all using tortillas but that seemed a little much when it actually came down to it.
We actually started with some pork scratchings and guacamole, inspired by [...]
Fried Garlic and Coriander Squid, and Pork Rib and Bamboo Shoot Red Curry
A Thai dinner on Saturday, with two recipes from Thai Food. Kerri was at work so I spent a bit of time preparing this but when it was time to cook there was still a load more to be done.
The first was squid, which I bought from the fish stall at a [...]
Read More..>>Haggis Sausage Rolls
Last year, we made Scottage Pie, using haggis as the filling. It was a partial success but the inside (which was purely haggis) was a little too dry and dense.
This year, we thought about doing the same again but combining the haggis with some kind of mince. Somewhere along the way, [...]
Butternut Squash Soup
We had a butternut squash at work last week that looked a bit ugly on the outside and was rejected by our customers so I bought it, knowing that the inside would be fine. I must be a glutton for punishment since I decided to turn it in to soup but, in order to [...]
Read More..>>Chorizo and Cannelini Beans
Not to self: don’t leave it five days before writing up a post otherwise you won’t remember what you did. Which is a shame since this was really good. It was based on Dan’s recipe but I couldn’t find tinned chickpeas so used tinned cannelini beans instead. I usually use dried beans [...]
Read More..>>Really Good Roast Pork Leftovers
We bought a larger joint of pork than we needed yesterday so that we would have leftovers for this evening. Stephen suggested we turn them into something vaguely Mexican so, when I got home from work, I started on some guacamole.
We had some leftover gravy too which Stephen used as the starting point for [...]
Really Good Roast Pork
It was Kerri’s birthday today, which was very exciting. We went out to Chez Bruce last night and had a wonderful dinner there, so decided to stay at home today and cook something ourselves. Roast pork it was, which we bought from a local butcher, Parsons Nose, which we were hoping would be [...]
Read More..>>Christmas Lunch 2009
With just three of us for Christmas lunch, it seemed silly to eat something as large as a turkey so we opted for chicken instead. Thinking it would be easy to find, we didn’t order one which meant Stephen scouring the supermarket shelves on Christmas Eve. He eventually tracked this down in Waitrose which meant [...]
Read More..>>Cumberland Sausage
We’ve had this in the freezer since our visit to Cumbria at the end of the summer. Every time we considered eating it, we realised it was just too big for the two of us so we took it to my mum’s and ate it with her instead.
This wasn’t as soft and melty as [...]
