I love junk food and I always wanted to try a Coney dog. Made this evening and it is one hot dog. Like the old boy says in the video ''this ones a keeper''
The other half said the sauce was too hot but my son just shook his head and demolished his easy.
Check out the video for the recipe...........................

^^^^That looks immense lucky!!
I made this tonight. The sauce was more of a dip in my opinion and so I batched up the leftovers for next time ;)
Very tasty and an easy tea to make ;)
I also brushed some of the peanut sauce on the chicken mid way through cooking ;)
That looks good, another one I must try..................
The peanut (satay) sauce would be too much in the quantity in the recipe imo so my advice would be to use it as a dipping sauce.Originally Posted by luckywatch

Reminds me of the sort of thing you would get in a Thai restaurant as a starter :)
By the way- did you use a knife and fork to eat that bugger????
Just follow the old boys demo of how to eat one in the video.

This peppercorn sauce is mighty fine and simple to make. Good with steak or chicken.
Watch the flames!
I bought a sous vide cooker the other week. So far, so good.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
I fancy one of those Eddie. What method of cooking do you use? (Steak for example).
Long and slow in the sous vide then fried off for colour?
Yes, long and slow and then browned off in the pan. Steak is tender and juicy, same with chicken and pork. I'm going to get some brisket and make some corned beef next but that will be a 10 day brining and 48 hour cook.

Which one did you get? Sous Vide Supreme?
I got a cheap kit which included the vacuum sealer. Didn't want to spend a lot in case I didn't get on with it. I'll be cooking a nice bit of fillet steak today.

Pics Eddie please :)
I've been cooking ghetto sous vide for years, using a cheap vacuum sealer, electronic thermometer and a variety of pans. Should like to go upmarket, so interested in your thoughts on your new one.
So far it's done what I want (and expected) without fuss or drama. I've used it mainly for steaks and it also cooked pork tenderloin perfectly. I'll have a go with some vegetables this weekend.

Got a couple of packs of short pork ribs and rubbed in a generous covering of Levi Roots Reggae Reggae BBQ sauce. Leave in the fridge for 24 hours. Preheat slow cooker on high for half an hour. Put the ribs in and keep on high for half an hour. Then reduce to 6 hours on low.
Take the ribs out and baste with more sauce then grill for about 10 minutes Serve with Caribbean rice and peas Levi style.
Add the kidney beans (including the liquid) and the coconut milk to a large saucepan with the onion, garlic, thyme and salt. Add 2 cups of water and bring to the boil stirring as you go.
Rinse the rice in a sieve until the water runs clear. Once the coconut milk has reached boiling point add the rice, stir, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until the rice is cooked.
Serve with your ribs.
For the rice:
410g can red kidney beans
400ml Levi Roots Coconut Milk
2 cups of basmati rice
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp salt
The meat just falls of the bone.................
I did this....
^^ good work! I've always fancied making my own pasta.
What did you fill them with?
Some cracking stuff in this thread but sometimes, sausage, egg, chips and beans hits the spot ;-)

These ones were not passed thin enough so were a bit heavy. Filled with white and brown crab meet seasoned with S & P, lemon juice and sauce was mussels liqueur with D cream
That sounds superb.
An excellent fish mongers have opened near us so I've got the wife into seared tuna steaks. Simply pan fried quickly and on a bed of samphire and some roasted peppers.
For those of you that enjoy a curry, this is my go-to recipe for dhal. I often double up this up or add veg, paneer to it. If cooking larger batches, I’ll cook for a bit longer.
Ingredients:
0.5 Tbsp oil
2 dry chillies or another 1 or 2 if you like it spicier
1 Indian bay leaf (or European if you don’t have Indian)
0.5 tsp panch phoron
1 small onion chopped
4 cloves garlic sliced
200 g red lentils washed under water in a sieve for 5 minutes until clean
0.25 tsp turmeric
0.5 tsp cumin
0.5 tsp salt + add more to taste at the end of cooking if needed
Water
2-3 Tbsp fresh / frozen coriander
For 2 people for lunch generously or 4 as a side dish
Method:
Heat oil until hot but not smoking
Add the chillies and bay leaf
After 30 seconds add the panch phoron and fry until you hear the seeds crack and pop
Add onion and garlic and fry until the edges catch ( don't be scared of the garlic burning .. it shouldn't)
Add the clean drained lentils and fry for around 5 minutes stirring from time to time
Add the turmeric, cumin and salt and fry for a further couple of minutes
Add water, to a couple of cm above the lentils, and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally
Turn down the heat and cook, uncovered, for around 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding water, if required, until the desired consistency is obtained. The lentils are cooked when you can barely discern that they are lentils due to them breaking down
Finally, add further salt to taste and 2-3 Tbsp fresh/frozen coriander (or dry coriander leaf), stir and serve
I've been off carbs most of 2016 (except for allowing myself fruit sugars) so I've been rustling up Protein pancakes for brekkie and I think they are great; plus they're fast, simple and nice to eat cold as a snack or following day.
To make one portion:
Get a Pyrex bowl or similar
Mash 1 ripe banana (I usually just use my fist! - it gets on your hands but saves washing up)
Add one egg
Add one scoop of low carb protein powder (I prefer Chocolate flavour)
mix together with a fork until you have a batter (takes about 15 seconds)
Place a non stick pan on a low/medium heat, spray on a small amount of oil. dollop three splodges of mixture into said frying pan and Cook on each side for a few minutes until pancake like.
As a serving suggestion I usually top with fruit and Greek yogurt. I especially like frozen cherry's which I blast in the microwave for 30 seconds to defrost with a good thick scoop of Greek yogurt on top of Chocolate pancakes or Strawberries & Blue berries with yogurt on Vanilla Pancakes. Yummy, convenient, quick and healthy.
Enjoy!
Nasi Lemak, a malaysian/singapore breakfast favourite. I've made a couple versions of the below recipe. And one with a sous vide (63 C) egg.
P.s. I skipped the step to make the chilli and bought some premade ones that can be found at big chinese supermarkets in London.

Got to try this one day, I'm forever over cooking steak, hope this will help...
Leaving it on the wood burner for the rest of the afternoon. I just got to keep an eye on the cats. Smells superb.........................

Turkey, anyone?
You got to try this. I salt and peppered some prime Welsh topside then rolled it in plain flour before browning. The rest is as per the video. It is to die for.

Not saying you don't know how to make Taco's, just sharing this spice mix with you. Its got a good hot kick and is a heap better than what you get in the supermarket. I found this on Ebay and the shop name is Taste Of America.

This is my take on hyderabadi biryani. Tastes good too!
tried this at the weekend:
heat up butter in a pan
fry minced garlic in it
add a whole bunch of shelled and de-veined raw prawns
wait until they get the right colour
splash of thai fish sauce
whiskey blend (a few tables spoons worth) flambee et voila
salt and pepper to taste
surprisingly good for the minimal effort involved
if you can get past the edgy schtick - the Thug Kitchen cookbooks are brilliant. almost everything I eat lately comes out of there

Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
Anybody got a decent recipe for Simnel cake?
Has anyone got good Thai or Indian starter recipes, simpler the better 😀
Had some free time so a wild boar stew and home made gnocchi were on the menu.
Plus medlar brandy in the making.

This is a very nice summer pasta. In fact also excellent to bring for lunch at work.
Fregola is a Sardinian pasta, kind of giant couscous. But differently from couscous the one in M&S takes about 18 min to cook. It is called “Fregola fredda alla Carlofortina”, and given that Carloforte is one of the historical tuna processing places - it contains tuna. Fregola cooked and let go cold, tuna, pesto, cherry tomatoes, basil, pepper, olive oil. Very refreshing.

Beautiful day for some outdoor cooking.
Dark beer and prune beef shank stew.
Nutritious fortified breakfast porridge … based on mainly Aldi products:
One tablespoonful (ish) porridge oats … two spoonfuls if you prefer a large portion
One tablespoonful (ish) mixed dried fruit … e.g. sultanas, currants, mango … whatever dried fruit appeals to you
One tablespoonful (ish) mixed nuts ( Aldi sell packets of mixed whole nuts cheaper than other supermarkets)
One dessertspoonful Cacao powder (optional … resultant colour of the porridge mix may not appeal … but Cacao powder is very nutritious https://www.healthline.com/nutrition...ition-benefits
One dessertspoonful ground flaxseed … or ground flaxseed mixed with berries (as sold by Aldi) (optional … but has health benefits https://www.healthline.com/nutrition...seeds#section2 )
All above quantities are approximate … but are usually enough for two servings … or one large serving
Mix / chop / grind in e.g. Kenwood Chopper
Cook in saucepan with two large cups (ish) of water … add a little salt (optional) … stir well whilst cooking … takes approx 4 to 5 minutes … add more water if cooks too thick
Brew some lemon and ginger tea (Aldi lemon & ginger tea bags) … add desertspoonfull of Aldi concentrated lemon juice
Serve the fortified porridge with the lemon fortified herbal tea poured on top.
Other ingredients can also be added or substituted before 'chopping' / 'mixing' … e.g. Chia seeds … oat bran (proven to lower cholesterol and lower blood pressure) Aldi do not sell oat bran - buy in Sainsbury or Waitrose
Other herbal teas can also be substituted e.g. 'forest fruits'
Using herbal tea instead of e.g. pure fruit juice, reduces sugar intake.

"Well they would say that ... wouldn't they!"
Apologies if this had already been posted (not gonna lie couldn’t be arsed to read back through nearly 500 posts!)
But someone gave us the Ottolengi “Simple” cook book and these parsnip and smoked haddock fishcakes are different level.
They take a little effort but actually super simple.
In fact, we’re having them tonight. Serve with a leafy salad with a lemon and mustard dressing and a little creamed horseradish. Absolutely banging.
Just waiting for the parsnips to roast and then it’s game on...
We've made a few versions of the Momofuku 'Crack Pie' during lockdown... recommended!
