Food

I normally cook chicken wings low and slow, but just saw a recipe which said 220° turning every 20mins.

What do you lot do?

Any recommended herb/spice mix for kofta? In particular the quantity, I always feel like I'm adding a fair bit but but can't taste it that much

the soup dumpling night ride sound fucking great !!!

Chicken wing chat was a couple of pages ago

London re enact might be interesting.

id be up for one :) but dumplings from where ????

I’m always up for chicken wing chat. Guess what I have in the oven right now? I dust with flower then fridge till a gooey crust forms, spray with oil, and bake on a wire rack on medium low, 160-180 and may take out for a wee rest/break before a final crisp up pre-sauce dunk and inhalation.

Classic Franks and blue cheese dip tonight. Loving this low carb diet malarkey.

Have you got low carb bread over there? I discovered Bergen 85% less carb loaves a couple of months ago, it's made a big difference to my diet. It's great to be able to eat sandwiches or burgers with 'proper' bread again. I was making pseudo burger buns with avocado, cottage cheese and an egg for a while there. Not disgusting but deffo a bit weird.

My new boss shared some homemade wife’s spanakopita (börek in Turkish) absolutely superb and breaks a lot of Greek tradition.

It's great I had some time where I had to stay away from carbs that burgen bread was my go to snack I think it's also really tasty not some mediocre replacement item + 1 for burgen 🙌

Any good store cupboard steak sauces? Got a nice chuletón for tonight and feeling uninspired.

Have tried the soya and linseed one and the Vogel version?

I was wingspired by previous chat.

Chucking them in the rotisserie basket later this afternoon.

I'm sure we have something similar, but i'm happy just avoiding it most of the time tbh. Hit my goal weight this week and have celebrated with a couple of Beligian beers and some sourdough baguette. Mmmm... yeasty!

I am so up for an LFGSS soup dumpling ride

I'll keep an eye out for it. Tbh the carb avoidance this has worked for me laregly because It's forced me to rethink the actual volume of food I need so I'm wary of getting back into the habit of eating big honking sandwiches again.

Turned some uncooked meatballs into this kimchi-laden pile of sexy sexy

What time ought I pop over?

Not a fan of greenery on warm pasta. Feels wrong.

Has anyone subscribed to the Guardian/Observer food thing?
I can’t find the Boxing Day leftover beef Moroccan spiced pie recipe which I swear was from there, wondering if their archive recipes are now only available to subscribers?
Literally just taken out a MOB subscription which is great so not looking to join for just this recipe.
I could probably make it up as it’s not exactly complicated, just Ras al Hanoute as the main seasoning but be good to be reminded of the other ingredients.

I usually add rocket to risotto and recently to filled pasta it’s become a trend.. it all started on pizza and that much hated truffle oil

Back to risotto.. next
