My friend is challenging himself to eat as many burgers as possible this year

we all guessed how many he would eat, winner gets a burger on him

I'm not a burger man, but damn those porn burgers look good.

Rogan, does your friend also keep track of his weight during this process? I'm curious.

He's lost a stone so far.

However around the same time also started primary school teaching so an unfair test i guess

I don't think you need overnight soaking for a pilau. Taken from an upcoming family Indian recipe book that I am involved with. Matar Pilau (rice with peas). I also have a few other recipes - vegetable biryani might be of interest. If anyone used this recipe, please let me have your feedback!

Serves 6

350g basmati rice, rinsed and soaked for 30 minutes
50g unsalted butter
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 medium onion, sliced
1 level tsp salt
300g peas, fresh or frozen
800ml boiling water

Rinse and drain the rice thoroughly. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a large pan on a low heat.
Add the cumin seeds and fry for 20 seconds.
Add the onions and fry for about 4 or 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the rice and fry on low heat for about 3 or 4 minutes, stirring regularly so that it does not stick to the pan. The rice will change to a light golden colour.
Stir in the salt.
Add the peas. Stir for 2 minutes. The mixture should be quite dry.
Add the boiling water. Do not stir!
Boil on medium heat for 2 minutes
Half cover the pan with a lid and cook on medium low heat for a further 2 minutes.
Cover completely and cook on low heat for another 5 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is soft. Fluff up the rice gently with a fork and serve.

Good food photography, but this is like the most pretentious shit I've seen in a while.

Mmmm

This stuff is fucking amazing (I put the first comment on that tweet, ha!) - I had it at Earls Beer and Cheese in the UWS (NYC) last year. Its so phenominal. They serve it with cloves of garlic to rub on your toast first. So, so nice.

Will try this!

anywhere worth spending my money at in the W1 area tonight?

not exactly the wisest choice of evenings for a night on the tiles but hey ho, might get lucky.

Yes mate! Lockhart is meant to be excellent. Can anyone confirm/deny?

Duck Soup is nice but pricey. They usually upload their menu daily, but haven't yet http://ducksoupsoho.tumblr.com/

Bit cheaper, I had very reasonable Japanese-ish food at Tapasia recently. They also do Top Table.

Can anyone help me with somewhere not too expensive in Oxford for Sunday lunch. Doesn't have to be a roast!

^ thanks for the pro-tipz

W1... Ember Yard was exceptional a few weeks ago. Tapas, with a keen eye for the grill.

Everything we had was great apart from some weird squash/creamy thing.

Social Eating House is also great, but usually rammed, especially tonight and pretty ££

Good bye cheap supermarket sub £20 hand blenders!

Ooooooh..!

I went a bit insane yesterday and made lots of food.

Dinner: Tabbouleh
Spiced Feta
Open Kibbeh

Falafel

Desert: King Cake (New Orleans Mardi Gras cake)
Cajun Syrup Cake

And also prepared Do Chua (Vietnamese Pork Belly) and that Braised caramel pork from a few pages back for tonight’s dinner with mates. Pics to come!
