My fave up until this one was Anne Burrell's which uses red wine and only tomato paste.

Pasta Bolognese Recipe : Anne Burrell : Food Network

I'll never cook hers again. This new one let's the meat and veggies shine more.

Chula Vista 12-28-2014 11:29 AM

Done this one before here.

Olive oil mixed with cumin, oregano, garlic, onion, and ginger powder, cayenne, and regular old S&P.

Si. When it's done the chicken will be pull apart perfect.

Cuthbert 12-28-2014 11:41 AM

Decent that pal. You like your oranges don't you :D

I have not cooked much recently.

My nan went home to Belize recently and is now back in England, she brought me a bottle of sauce back from there called 'Belizean Heat'. It is fucking lovely but blazes my face off every time.

Chula Vista 12-28-2014 06:15 PM

My daughter spent a couple of weeks in Belize and loved it.

Finished dish. The gravy is the orange juice infused with the onion and spices and mixed with some brown sugar and flour. Chicken was fork pull apart tender.

Mike and Lin are happy campers right now.

Sear it on all sides in an oiled hot frypan. Then season it generously with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, cumin, and paprika. Pour about 1 cup of OJ in a crock pot, add the shoulder, set it on low, and walk away for about 10 hours.

Shred it up and mix it with some BBQ sauce. Yummy!

Doing this atm, what do you eat with it?

Also what's the reason for searing it, does it help with the seasoning?

Since Chula's sick, I'll field this one mang.

Cole Slaw is a good choice.

Searing keeps all the juices in, and keeps the meat tender while it cooks.

Thanks Planks.

I didn't sear it. Thought it'd be extra washing up I can't be arsed to do. Should be alright though I reckon.

Got no coleslaw, I was thinking just some chips :confused: Would that be OK do you reckon?

Oven chips btw.

GuD 01-03-2015 05:48 PM

Pork is pretty heavy, I'd usually pair it with something on the lighter side. Not saying potatoes won't be good, just might be a bit much. Have you ever tried this?:

Creamy Mashed Cauliflower Recipe | Eating Well

If I ate pork, still wanted something creamy/rich to go with it, this is what I'd recommend. This is literally the first recipe I found, you can spin however. Also, some things that go good with pork: Fennel, mustard, apples, peaches, melons. Some kind of fennel/cabbage/apple slaw with a slightly spicy and fruity sweet/sour vinaigrette would be the bee's knees, man.

GuD 01-03-2015 06:06 PM

Also searing meat/(to a lesser extent)veggies leaves what I think is called 'fond' at the bottom of the pan. Fvck if I can remember. Anyways, whatever the proper term it's basically caramelized WhateveYou'reCooking and it's delicious so while your meat is resting or once you finished cooking everything, splash it with some kinda vinegar or broth or whatever (deglazing), some cream/seasonings/tomato puree/whatever, reduce it down to a consistency you like, and you've got yourself basically a condensed flavor of whatever you're eating in form of sauce. I've always heard this called making a "pan sauce". Drip that over your dish and it's like 10x more flavorful.

FTW wasn't seared that time I made it.

A few months ago my mother gave me a jar of pure honey from her friend's farm. Since then I've poured a bit into the pan every time I cook meat, most often with pork sausage. Tastes amazing and the sausages seem significantly easier to cook evenly when they're coated in sizzling honey.

Chula Vista 01-17-2015 11:50 AM

Slow cooked Beef Ragu. Super easy to make and absolutely killer.

One large yellow onion cut in half and sliced. 4-5 cloves of garlic. 2 TBSP chopped rosemary. 2 pound chuck roast trimmed with salt and pepper.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...19651b4183f5e1

2 cups beef broth, 1/4 cup red wine, 1 can (5oz) tomato paste mixed and poured into the pot. 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes poured on top of the meat.

https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...17&oe=55606D57

8 hours on high in the crock pot and the meat will fall apart with a fork. More pics to follow.

^^^ Hey that looks really nice, you should try throwing in some potatoes and peppers.

Only had to trim a little bit of silver skin from it. Paid thru the nose but I'll get a bunch of meals out of it so it's worth it.

I'm not aware of that recipe I wouldn't want to ruin it, maybe have chips next to it. Beef and chips.

Best served over pasta with some grated cheese. I'll use some of it to make a quesadilla for Lin tonight too.

lately been looking for veggie/fruit dishes to make so i can eat less meat

found out i quite like fried plantains. not much of a recipe to it you just fry em in some oil. simple, quick and cheap.



you can honestly used way less oil than that though if you want to be a bit healthier about it


GuD 01-22-2015 10:13 PM

try it using coconut oil ;)

way healthier, +coconut flavor.

DwnWthVwls 01-22-2015 11:09 PM

Anyway, plantains are freakin delicious.

So f*cking good after some cocktails. Go heavy on the garlic. Have some salsa and chips at the ready. Sour cream too.

Question for our American forumistas or anyone who can answer.

What does this stuff taste like - http://monsieurvintage.com/photos/2014/03/TANG-HD.jpg

Is it sugary and how does it compare to say orange juice? I ask because later I want to make some tereré and watching tutorials on Youtube they use what looks like packeted powder, I'm 99% sure it's this stuff but we can't get it here so I'm gonna use squash or orange juice.

Lol. It tastes like orange fanta without the fizz. Or orange punch. It never goes bad. EVER. LIKE EVER. They drink it on the moon, or whatever.

Chula Vista 01-25-2015 08:26 AM

Total staple as a kid growing up. Ya, it's tastes like orange soda without the soda. If it's really cold its pretty good.

Gonna do a dutch over Chicken Cacciatore today. Pics to follow.

Cuthbert 01-25-2015 02:54 PM

Cheers mateys. Made it with grapefruit squash. It is lovely.

Gonna try and get some of this 'Tang' stuff regardless though.

Looking forward to the pics Chula :cool:
