Food

Off the top of my head...
• coupla chillis
• big finger of ginger
• 5-6 cloves of garlic
• zest and juice of an orange
• red onion
• coupla spring onions
• tablespoon of szechuan peppercorns
• glug of rapeseed oil
• good glug of soy sauce
• good glug of ABC sauce (Kecap manis)
• salt and pepper

Whizzed it all up with the Bamix and marinaded the pork in a bag overnight... Cooked for eight hours, 30mins on top heat then down to gas mark 1 for the rest... Took it out every hour to baste then reduced the marinade/meat juices down to a thick sauce...

I studded the meat with lots of garlic and ginger and rested it on a trivet of onions which melted down and made the gravy even more delicious...

I'm hungry again... :)

I am about to christen my slow cooker with a version of this.

These are bloody marvellous. I can't go a day without one now.
Cheaper than energy bars / gels though.

Where you find them?

I love that stuff.

Just made spaghetti puttanesca. Probably the least sociable, but most super-awesome, pasta dish. Garlic, chilli, and salty fish overload

Rabbit in rosemary, garlic and red wine tonight... #hangovercure

yea.. makes you wonder it was apparently born in knocking shops!

I used to pretty much live on Putanesca, delicious...

please say it was the pasta joe

That would be telling...

in other news maltby street proved to be uneventful; almost all the food was ran out by 2 and then the awesome cocktail place (little bird I think) ran out of gin an hour later :( so no monty's for me; had a good falafel though and blagged a negroni before the gin ran out; would visit again earlier.

^ I could do with one of those..

After hard day in the saddle was looking forward to fish and chips and no cooking.
To my dismay our chippy was closed, maybe closed down :(

So had to resort to tomorrow's dinner plan and extra mouth to feed. Taking inspiration from La Chatica 'Authentic Colombian' produce and cafe. I roasted plantain and sweet potatoes in the oven, alongside jerk chicken pieces which had been marinating all day, served with homemade rice and peas, all washed down with ginger beer.. Thank god I don't have to wash up..

From now on sweet potatoes and plantain roasted in the oven for an hour in their skins.. I love the fact that where the plantains split you get a caramelised section and the insides are all gooey..

Perfect post ride autumn supper

Yeh, I heard it's called 'Tart's spaghetti' or something!? So good though. Makes me want to go round to Il Bacio on church street and bosh an anchovy and caper pizza. The saltiness must be addictive.

And Amey, that sucks about Maltby Street. I was going to go today specifically to go to Monty's having seen in to the telly box on Monday night, but my mates couldn't make it til 2 so we sacked it off. You'd have though they'd keep running til a bit later, stalls at Borough are still serving at 4....

Dinner was delicious...

In a similar vein, I just had this double lamb chop, pan fried with salt, pepper and fresh thyme from the garden. Roast potatoes natch.

Washed down with Jennings' Cumberland Ale.

One of the tastiest pieces of meat I have ever eaten.

That pub food moniker is bollocks but the 3.5kg of beef short ribs* Tom Kerridge knocked up on tonights show was preposterous.

Also warmed beef dripping as a salad dressing

*obsessed

Nice Denby plates. I've got tons of that crockery in the same colour.

That beef looked phenomenal. No wonder he is the size he is.

I'm big boned but Twitter is awesomely cruel

"Oim just going to check on moi ribs"

"Yeah Tom if you can find them"

I cooked his lamb shoulder and potato boulanger last night (4kgs worth!)- there is no picture of said meal.

Served with creamy spinach and french beans and hazlenuts.

So now this week I have to cook another 4kg of meat? Poor old me.
