Really? Porcini and chorizo?

/sceptical

A friend saw this.. it makes me really sad

Could be beef/chicken for halal customers...? (doubtful)

Jah. Crunch of the chorizo goes really well against the softness of the porcini and risotto.

Pascalo, that tuna nicoise looks ace... have you tried having the tuna a little rarer?

I've done a barley, butternut squash, saffron and chorizo risotto before - was really good!

I was aiming for a touch rarer, acually, but it was still yum like that.

Hmm, maybe I give the chorizo a shot ... I love that stuff, but usually in stews or with fish / scallops / chicken.

When I do mushroom risotto I usually use a tiny bit of bacon, onion and simple brown mushrooms plus wine and chicken stock, then add dried porcini and the liquid from soaking it to give it a good kick up its backside.
Then some butter, grated parmesan and parsley, done.

The dried porcini also work a treat in a mushroom, white wine and creme pasta sauce ... which goes well with wholewheat pasta.

Here's my baked bacon and egg attempt for some crudities for a weekend bbq

The bottom right one is with facon for the veggie, very nice apparently. the proper bacon ones certainly were. The little cubes are goatscheese

I also made burgers for the first time

The pink ones were beef corriander and dijon
The others were lamb with chilli mint and garlic
Really nice I can't believe I've never done that before it was really easy and so much nicer than buying them

Failed on pics but had a brace of home made sausage + egg McMuffins for breakfast; chipolatas opened up and the sausagemeat into the burger press for patties fried to a hint of crispness with fried eggs and decent cheddar in toasted buttered muffins. #winning

fry the onions first next time

was for a bbq and didn't need it, but I was giving that some thought, none of the recipes I looked at mentioned pre-frying the onions

What dressing is that on the Tuna Nicoise up there?

Even if not for a bbq, it's a matter of taste and quality of the mince.
Steak Tartare is one fine example of raw onion going great with raw meat*.
Those are burgers that will be grilled, plenty of heat to 'ease up' the onions.

*Obviously this only applies if, like me, you like it blue/rare.

nuknow!

I used to live at rive gauche near warren street, it would queue out the door and sell out by 3 every day. Amazing french bistro.

This place is definitely !win!

I never put onions in the burger, just good quality mince with seasoning on each side when cooking.

Made rum balls the other day for colleague leaving. Boss wanted recipe.
He made some and brought them in today. Fuck me drunk.. 57% Bundy OP rum he used. So fucking strong! #win

I would maybe put in a couple of very finely minced shallots, but thats it. Shit loads of salt and pepper at the point of grilling....

I once ate the most ridiculous burger at a place in San Diego called Hodads - which had a kind've burger patty made out of bacon on it! Meatwagon / Meateasy do a similar thing i believe...
