ZING!

I asked the butcher if he had any bones for stock and got this lot gratis.

I want to make a recipe I cant track down. It's vietnamese brisket curry made with coconut milk, curry powder and carrots. I think it's a breakfast dish locally. Anyone know the name of the dish?

mac and cheese. I have decided I require some imminently. but what do you people serve it with? I'm not going to be frying any chicken (for reasons of oil) but open to most other suggestions.

Kale. That's what we're doing tonight. Sausages may also be involved.

Bo Kho or just Pho with beef?

Ditto on this, or crispy cavolo nero.

@Aroogah KALE?! Crikey. Sausages could be a winner though :/

@brokebroadbeat How does one crisp cavolo nero?

Currently on hold to HSBC business banking so won't be mac/cheesing any time soon... Listening to weird Billy Joel soundalikes though..

@StevePeel

Not beef (but sure you could try with it) but carrots and coconut milk got me thinking Ca Ri Ga:

Yeah. Kale. I thought I was going to out middle-class you with kale and then @brokebroadbeat went all cavolo nero. I concede defeat. Well played sir. Well played.

Although I am doing "mac and cheese" more like cacio e pepe. Middle class foodie status may still be intact.

I crisped Cavalo Nero just last night:

Remove stalks.
Dry.
Massage with oil.
Season.
Bake at 120c for half an hour.
Leave to air for 5 mins.
Sprinkle with lemon zest.

Taste.

Regret.

kale. urrhrhhrhhhrhrhhhhrhrh.

haha!

Yes Bo Kho that's it!

That's not far away from Bo Kho once you swap the chicken for beef. I'm going to make a massive pot tomorrow, it'll need starting in the morning to make the stock. Love those dinners.

Enfin.

It has been a fine season, I look forward to duelling with you again next year, good sir.

@mashton has got the recipe down, @CYOA, but I didn't add any lemon juice to mine. May have caused his regret but I blummin' love the stuff, iron-rich and tasty. Went well with a pasta sauce I made up: roasted butternut squash, garlic, sage, a little chilli, all blitzed with some ricotta. Fold through elicoidali or rigatoni. Super autumnal.

elicoidali

Any chicken wing recipe/methods that don't involve deep frying (or a barbecue). I do like doing my own wings but can't really be bothered deep frying (and preferably also like something a bit healthier although that isn't the biggest criteria).

Chinese soy honey wings - oven cooked.

Make up a BBQ rub*, sprinkle liberally over wings, leave to get acquainted while the low oven (160°c, is that even that low?) heats up, place on a greaseproof papered baking sheet and chuck in oven for 90-120mins... Rest for 10mins and consume with beer... No sides...

* Salt, pepper, sugar, smoked paprika, chilli, powdered onion and garlic...

I had these on Wednesday night, solo... Missus >>>>>> has gone pescatarian because doctor's orders...

That looks incredible! Is it 100% dry rub, no sauce/oil/juice used? Presumably you mean garlic powder as well rather than fresh? Think this is coming my way this weekend...

100% dry... The wings slowly render their fat out so they stay nice and juicy, tastes amazing... You'll be able to pick the bones out of the meat and stuff all the meat into your mouth at once... The top bit of the wing anyway... Yeah, it's garlic powder...

It's a bit of a fussy USA style rub, but it tastes really good... I'm gonna dial it down and use less in the next batch I make, I made absolutely LOADS the last time so that won't be for a while... A delicious dilemma... 😋
