because i thought you were eschewing the pasta

"are you eschewing the pasta?"
"no i'm just munching the cauliflower"

I meant in general.

Take my word for it, it was good, even without overloading it with parmesan and butter, as a matter of fact I remember instances in which I had to put way more to make a risotto tasteful..

Roasted Cauliflower here is amazing

I love cauliflower and it doesn't taste like cauliflower. Very different and delicious.

Berber & Q in Haggerston serves whole cauliflower shawarma which is simply delicious! (I hate cauliflower typically)

I'm looking to cook those beef short ribs I got from dugard, was thinking to marinate them for a couple of days and then slow cook in the oven.
Any suggestions, personally was thinking of a bourbon/paprika/brown sugar marinade to give it a sweet hit.

Anything more than overnight is a waste of time... I've been using a dry rub after reading that dry brining produces better results than a wet brine (because science) and the results have been great...

Salt, brown sugar, pepper and maybe some smoked paprika... Cook super low and covered for 8+ hours... Whack it up at the end if you want a bit of crunch on the outside...

ping me quantities and I'll see what I've got in the cupboard..

No real recipe, mostly sugar and salt, decent amount of pepper and a bit of paprika... Depends how many ribs you've got, bruv! 😋

think I've got 2kg worth, it's sweet cured, getting hungry thinking about it..

You won't need to do anything else to it then if it's already cured... I'd give it a light dusting of rub and chuck it straight in the oven...

The TS is right about the rub. You can also add in some rosemary and oregano if you are feeling it. That's pretty much the rub I use for beef and pork ribs.

This is what happens when you slow smoke beef short rib with that rub.

no smoking going on with this one, slow and low in the oven..

Anyone know of a decent, large kitchen shop? Need a few bits and pieces but wouldn't mind a browse, don't want to resort to Amazon.

Is Nisbet's on Shaftesbury Ave still open? I loved that place, everything you'd want in there...

That place has always come up on my searches but I assumed it was trade only. Glad it's not though, it's exactly what I'm after. The Kitchen Shop in Bath was a firm favourite when I lived there.

Pics of final result?

grilled garlicy mushrooms with fried onions, cheddar and mustard mayo. nom.
hungover veggie brunch.

Divertimenti on Brompton Road is worth a look too. More consumer gadgets than Nisbets.

forgot to get a proper pic of the beef shin barbacoa I made in the slow cooker on friday so here's the wanky instagram boomerang clip i made instead.

I ended up fishing out the meat and reducing the sauce on the hob for 10 minutes to thicken it up before re-adding it.

made a rough pico de gallo and guacamole to go with it

The end result was so good I had to drop my fork and sit back for a bit whenever I took a bite and just savour it for a moment.

going to do round 2 in a week or so when I can have carbs again and make some proper tacos with it.

I may also need a ruling from @greenhell on the square slow cooker.

OUT.

Not cooked this weekend. Thinking next..

i like this bloke. and fuck sourdough bread. less of the coked up hair touching tho.
