It’s not nihari without big ol’ juicy bones to suck marrow out of... but those spice mixes are surprisingly good. My mum uses them sometimes when we’ve got the whole family coming over and she needs to cook a lot in 1 day. Usually about 15 dishes.

Also if you didn’t have matchsticks of ginger, fresh lime, and fresh green chilli on top of it in your bowl then I am disappointed.

Indeed beautiful tiles.

"...like I like my women: pre-ground, bitter, deeply sad, and with a cool name"

I worked with a guy once who had a t shirt along those lines.

"...ground up and in the freezer."

He wore it to work. He was berated and asked to never wear it again.

Am do this - thanks!

Depends how much effort you can be arsed with

A surprising amount.

It helps that I have everything in this recipe already.

I've followed both recipes before, wasn't disappoint.

Hmm. The guy in the shop just asked if I wanted it cubed and the piece he picked up was off the bone anyway. What should I ask for? Don’t worry, I had the garnish :-) + some ‘sapna’ crispy onion that the guy insisted I take.

Any ideas for an easy tea for in-laws who are very much of the meat and two veg generation and won't appreciate me going to hours of effort to make a nice rage and pasta?

Anyone know of any decent party caterers?

Looking for simple buffet / meze style thing, Walthamstow area, for about 100 people.

Also need a DJ who will play the music my wife wants, but I guess that is for another thread..

how about a nice shepherds/cottage pie? you can sneak some decent meat in there, put some effort in on the sauce and come up with a cracking mash that you'll appreciate and they'll get something they are comfortable with.

rage and pasta

What does this involve?

Linguine, @greenhell and a square plate

Right I'd like to try recreate a smoky marmalade that I currently cant get hold of.
My thoughts are split, try flavour it using whisky, BBQ sauce, liquid smoke Or BBQ the oranges.

Side note; I've never made marmalade.

Sausage, mash and cabbage/sprouts

Pork chops, wilted greens & dauphinoise

chicken forestierre

Loads of good stuff!

Someone saying 'it's nice - but I wouldn't order it in a restaurant' and then me flying off the handle.

It was supposed to say ragu.

The winner is:

shepherds/cottage pie

Although it's not easy. Peeling spuds and dicing veg against the clock can get to fuck.

Make in advance, chuck in oven when ready. Easy.

You can buy frozen mirepoix plus add peas easily enough if you're feeling particularly lazy - I think it's a perfectly reasonable thing to do if rushed

frozen peas and a carrot. job done.

What about the onionzzzzz, you fucking barbarian?!?

posh git.

The guys who cater for this are brilliant - ping me a DM if you want more deets

I love chopping up mirepoix. I think I might do shed loads and then freeze it in individual portions.

I will put the tablet in front of me, streaming snooker or something else low key, then spend a happy half hour with nice knives and a pile of veggies, turning them into cute little colourful cubes.

Bliss.

Giro starts tomorrow...
