Local Italian does what they call a mezzaluna. It’s basically a calzone (ham, spicy salami & peppers) with the outside stretched into a pizza...

I had a bit of a pork buying spree at the weekend including a piece of belly for which i wanted to attempt making chicharron the long handed way.

This involves cooking it in stock at 100degC for 7-8 hours (overnight), then cubing and chilling prior to deep frying. A long process but not much work involved and you end up with a marvellous stock/soup base from the first phase.

Here it is served with some smoked aged cheddar, roast peppers and homemade maple and bourbon bbq sauce (which takes ages to make but is fking legendary).

Back at blacklock city. 750g porterhouse (unfortunately the 900g was already sold out) and 600g sirloin.
No vegan tales this time sorry.

Oh and the white chocolate cheescake. Damnnn

Made a Italian sauce containing blended roasted veg and onion, with fried chicken breasts, covered in mozerrella then threw in the oven. All going well until I picked the pan up with my bare hand and burnt 5 finger tips and my palm!

Pie season in full swing!

A friend works near a good pie shop and every so often drops me one off (Lord of the Pies in Stockport). Anyway, this was based on one off their FB page; beef (skirt) and chorizo cooked in Malbec. We just had it with fried padron peppers. Crappy pic just before it got demolished.

Holy Moly,

You have not cooked it yourself, but thanks for posting, that is what a pie should be like, none of this a casserole with a biscuit crust on top bks that a lot of pie sellers now sell as a pie in gastropubs etc. Boooo

"beef (skirt) and chorizo cooked in Malbec"



I actually have a lardon having seen that. I was trying to do my own post of pre prep for my friend from college who is travelling over from SoCal and I am doing a meal for him tomorrow, but got distracted....


nice photo as well. 9.7/10

Well, bravo. It looks excellent. The pastry is a right bd to get right

[Moonshiner]

Cheers Gandahar, the stuff I post here is definitely on the mediocre side compared to most!
Tickles posts on the other hand, on another level...

[Tickle]

Thank you both,

The Food, Drink and Restaurant section has very good inspiration and knowledgeable folk on it.

Mrs Tickle doesn't do belly pork, so seeing as I'm home alone tonight I thought I would go all-out and make pig for one.

Got and abundance of apples so used some up, also got some other bits when I got the pork that are in season; fennel and beetroot.

Belly pork, roast beetroot in star anise, caramelised fennel and applesauce.











Apologies for so many pics, I'm also ding about with a new phone.

It’s saturday night, I worked 15 hours yesterday, and about 12 today. I’m sitting down with a few beers watching a film and I just can’t be arsed. So this is dinner

[illmonkey]

And here we go!

[Martin350]

Murgh masala with cucumber, tomato and red onion salad and homemade garlic and coriander naans.



Lightly grilled fruit kebabs with honey, lime zest & juice and toasted sesame seeds.

Steak sandwich.

A rare evening off, so nice to get to cook for myself for once. Autumn produces such nice produce and wild mushrooms are a favourite. Sometimes, less is more, so a simple tagliatelle dish of smoked bacon, wild mushrooms, garlic, creme fraiche, tarragon and parmesan.
