Hit the edge of the lid onto a kitchen work surface or other hard flat surface, before unscrewing.

Hi!

Gosh I musta got a great seal on them suckas. Get a blunt-tipped eating knife, push the tip into where the lid & jar meet, and twist. Works for me.

Also dry rubber gloves.

I put two mushed up in a beef stew with dumplings last night, it ROCKED.

Also if you ever make ribs, use the leftover syrup for mop sauce with chipotle, some ketchup etc.

James’s tapping trick works too.

James'?

Sulk.

for a real tomatoey sauce i've just discovered morrisons tinned cherry tomatoes, boy are they flavoursome, much richer tomato flavour than your usual chopped /plum tomatoes, bit pricey but they're worth it, did a simple onion, garlic, bay, thyme, white wine vinegar and sugar pasta sauce reduced down and it was so zingy, possibly the nicest pasta sauce i've made

Interesting. Will grab a six pack next time I'm near Morrisons

get a potato masher on them to release their full inner goodness

I will be frying the pork tonight, looking forward to it.
Thinking some sort of cous cous/cracked wheat/tabbouleh thing to go with to counteract the richness of the crispy fried meat.

My go to sushi place is Atari Ya in Swiss Cottage. They won't do a table of 10 however, so in need a recommendation for good sushi at reasonable prices, preferably more East than Swiss cottage, and they do exciting things like fatty tuna, salmon belly, and sea urchin.

There is something about crispy pork exterior and soft chewy fatty interior that is just delicious.
Lechon kawali was a success, so successful that there are no photos as it’s all in my stomach.

Only issue was the popping/spitting frying oil, meaning I’ll need to buy a spray guard of some kind. Anyone with any suggestions let me know..

Pork shoulder steaks.
My usual is, grate carrot and onion and celery, oil, pork, some smoked paprika, cumin etc, tomatoes, maybe some beans.

This is great, wins rad dad prizes, but is there anything else I could do? Have about an hour prep time tonight.

That sounds delicious.

Like a stew type thing?

Yeah!
Served on white buns, with pickles and hot sauce. For those that want it.

Schnitzel?

Hmm. Thats something I wouldn't have thought of!

1. Quick sear in butter a frying pan (they should cook through very quickly - and everyone always overcooks pork anyway) then deglaze with a lot of Dijon and a lot of creme fraiche.

2. Toast fennel seeds, add butter, sear steaks, add apple slices.

tried out some of those old breed / rare breed eggs this week as morrisons didn't have my usual, bought some old cotswold legbar eggs

fried and slapped between some slices of nice white bread with salt and pepper, they are delicious, creamier and eggier than my regulars, nice whitey blue shells, will pay premium price again

Eggs are possibly the best example where a price premium is worth paying.
That being said I buy bog-standard (though high- welfare) eggs for baking and egg white usage.
The eggs from our own chickens are unbelievably tasty in comparison to anything I can find though. Just rarely get to eat them. (Burfords and Legbars incidentally- I prefer the burford eggs due to size of yolk&egg- they’re massive!)
@Chalfie- do it.

The only thing I can buy from the local butchers! Was shocked (Shocked!) to be informed that they'd gone up 10p this morning.

Totally agree, always worth buying nice eggs if you're eating them as is

woah. those are some good ideas.

Smug alert: get a dozen fresh eggs from the neighbour’s chickens every week for £2. They’re fucking delicious.

I want chickens...

Can anyone work out how to watch Good Eats Reloaded in the UK?

Galician aged sirloin steaks for dinner tonight. Delicious.
