I made some great bean burgers using Isa Chandra Moskowitz's recipe. They were amazing. Don't have a photo because I ATE THEM ALL, but I recommend the recipe. I left out the gross corriander of course, but added some fresh parsley

Cookbook review: Isa Does It

Wanna make these next:

baked buffalo tempeh

Coriander is a wonder herb. Do not besmirch its good name.

I put a 10lb pork shoulder in the oven at 450/230 this morning while I was getting ready.
Wrapped it up good and dropped the temp to 210/100.
Going home at lunch to check on it.

Pressure coddle on the go!

I'm looking at pressure cookers.
Trying to pick one, but i suspect that they're all essentially the same.

Steer well clear of the aluminium..they turn tomatoes yocky apparentally.Which is the last thing ya want!

I love my PC (thats what us pressure heads call them fyi)((I just made that up,and pressure heads,which I'm gonna stick with).
I couldnt go back to waiting longer than 20 mins for a stew.
Thats fucking barbaric.

Mines a 6 litre Fagor prestige.Its all kinds of the shizzle BUT its on the small size.
It wouldnt do if I was having guests round for coddle..which is fairly unlikely in any event so its all good

Cheap pressure cookers have all sort of fiddly mechanisms - which can be a pain in the hole.
You don't want anything too cheap, or anything very old fashioned (think those weights that your mother was always pricking around with when you were a kid).

I keep all the chicken bones in a big ziplock in the freezer - as soon as that's full...chicken stock in the pressure cooker.. save them as ice cubes in the freezer.

Beans - there's no other way too cook them that isn't a general fucking nuisance. No soaking, no nothing just a hour in the pressure cooker.

Mexican guisados - think the type of things you'd put in a taco - Barbacoa, Pork in Salsa Verde etc. Pressure cooker is your only man.

I keep all the chicken bones in a big ziplock in the freezer - as soon as that's full...chicken stock in the pressure cooker.. save them as ice cubes in the freezer.

I do this, just without the pressure cooker.
So I'd like to up my game.
I keep another bag with nice aromatic offcuts - leek and celery and whatnot in there too. Nice to throw in with the bones to give the stock a little bit of depth

 

[GO]

Chicken stock in the PC is out of this world.

I do a chicken stew..its basically my coddle recipe but with a chicken instead of pig.

Its possibly even nicer than coddle.

The SECRET is use sweet FA water.Half a coffee mug TOPS.
The pressure squeezes all the juice outta the veg so thats yer soup..but its more of a sauce.Oh baby

I used some nuts that have been in my fridge for a while to make pesto
Turned out great

Today I'm looking at old photos of my fridge, and i see those nuts in there in Feb 2014
And now I think I moved with them, in Dec 2013

Not sure how long I had them before that
