[6th Gear]

No points for presentation but damn tasty.

Jamaican BBQ chicken legs with baked potato (loads of butter), tomato, onion and avocado salad.

Filet done dirty on Lumpwood charcoal

[mizx]

Soft shell crabs and cobbled together Singapore chilli crab -ish sauce (soy, sweet chilli, rice wine, lime, five spice, garlic, ginger, red chilli, shrimp paste, tomato puree)


It was going to be marinated which we didn't do then make the sauce from that. It needed more sauce really. Smelt bang on, but tasted too much of the sweet chilli sauce. I think it would be better next time with something like light coating of panko or potato starch flour rather than tempura.

Nice try though.

I'd do as you say and fry them in a light starch coating and then toss the sauce through them for a lighter more even coating.

I love crab but they're a pain to eat other than the soft shelled variety.

Bream, scallop and roasted veg with a piquant tomato dressing.

I like that as it's a brave choice, but was the bream not overwhelmed by the rest?

Hats off though, top work and different from the norm.

Dry cured and pan roasted Scottish farmed salmon.

It was from a huge fish and was so much nicer for it with huge flakes. It's a joy to cook after curing for 15 mins in a heavy sugar and salt mix. I stay two minutes ahead making sure I still see a slight band of undercooked flesh before resting for 4 mins in the warm pan away from the heat so it continues to warm the centre until just set.

Lovely, more fish.

The fish is socking the steak at this point....

[miniman]

Needed to use up some sausages.

Red wine, green peppercorn, garlic and rosemary marinated rib eye steak.
Corn on the cob, Ainsley Harriot clarified butter recipe with Chilli and Spring Onion.
Baked potato.

Simple. Yummy. Sorry there's no money shot picture but I can tell you the steak, marinated for eight hours in a acidic red wine, was soft as butter. Mmmm.

It was overwhelmed yes. But it was still very enjoyable and over indulgent with the scallops.

The salmon was far better after the quick cure.

[ClockworkCupcake]

Costco sirloin steak, chunky chips (slightly anaemic, sorry), battered onion rings, creamy pepper sauce, and a cheeky glass or two of Prosecco.

That'll do me, ta.

Can you tell me how you did the quick cure?

Making the most of the sunshine

Some from France and Spain road trip last couple of weeks

Cassoulet in Carcasonne



Summer Truffles on toast in Carcasonne



Monkfish in San Sebastián



Oysters and wine for brunch not dinner in Bordeaux

[Pferdestarke]

Sublime.

[Burwood]

That last pic looks fantastic 2CV. See how nice we are on this thread-unlike the nasty lease thread

[Adenauer]

Looks amazing, all apart from the massive Monkfish jaw jutting up at you reminding you what an ugly bugger you're eating. Is it maybe the Restaurant's tribute to the Millau Viaduct.

Everything that is good about Cassoulet is right there in that picture. Looks simply marvellous. I could eat that right now.
