What you eating part 1

[grobelaar]

Just been eating some recipe that Nigel Slater (he must be like the Jeff Mills of celebrity chefs I reckon, or maybe its Dave Clarke...)

Any road he had some recipe in the Observer Monthly Food supplement about 3 months ago and I only just got round to trying it today and its pretty great.

Admittedly I tried it with some trepidation, as owing to a childhood phobia of onions it doesn't sound all that appetising - particularly given that its practically all onions. Any road I was amazed at how tasty it was and how simple it is, so without further ado...

Baked onions with parmesan and cream

serves 2-3 with rice

onions - 4 medium to large
whipping or double cream - 300ml
grated Parmesan - a good handful
to serve: steamed brown rice for 4

Set the oven at 180/gas 4. Peel the onions and bring them to the boil in a large, deep pot of water. Leave them at a bright simmer for about 25 minutes, until they are tender, then lift them out with a draining spoon. Slice the onions in half from root to tip and put them cut-side down in an ovenproof dish, snugly touching one another. Tip the cream over the onions. Season with salt, pepper and the grated cheese and bake for 25 minutes, till golden and bubbling.

Slater's preferred choice of accompaniment is lashings of cold roast beef and although this isn't an option for me, I have to concur - it would be amazing, but brown rice is pretty amazing - he reckons steaming the rice with a cinnamon stick and a couple of cloves is the way forward. I had to settle for an oxo cube, cos I forgot about that bit...

[jukka]

only thing i ate today were some slices of bread with cheese bacon

[skosh]

that looks a nice recipe, i just had pizza and burnt the roof of my mouth on it :(

[eclairfi]

i just had a samosa, a peanut butter sandwich and some mate tea

[dSort]

Do you also eat so much on sundays?

[Dangerman]

I dunno what its called but take this big ass turkisch bread and you put some of that sauce that comes with Doritos... the sauce with peppers in it and stuff... Anyway... than you put some tomatos on it and some cheese, but it in the oven for 10 minutes or so... and comence eating. hehe. And that it.

[emef]

i had some post party home made soup at invisibleplanet`s this morning, it was delish

[grobelaar]

Have been getting into italian food recently, it quite simple but tricky at the same time. But I like Italian food because its quite wholesome and heartwarming. I think Italian food is like the original fusion cuisine - they took a lot of influences from the east and mixed them with their local produce.

[aleks]

i made cannelloni three days ago for my girlfriend...she loved it, but right now i am too lazy to post the recipe... later, i promise.

[Marolo]

a gruyere and tomato filled ravioli.
Did I make it myself? did i fuck but it was delishozzzzzzzz

[animal night train]

took my mum out last night with my sister and we ate:

salted steamed soya beans
deep fried tofu
steamed pork dumplings
miso soup

sashimi - salmon, mackerel, sea bass, tuna
sushi - salmon, tuna, eel, prawn

plum wine
cold saké


it were right good.

[goone]

bananas

[bitch one]

last night (mother's day), using leftover roast chicken, i cooked my ma a chicken/mushroom risotto with a bit o tarragon and cream. she really liked it. i thought it was a bit too rich, but that's probably cos i didn't have any white wine in it which would balance the richness..

hmm...never thought of what slater's producer/dj equivalent would be before. something to add to your top trumps maybe grobelaar?

i really like his recipes they are easy to follow and usually are comfort food, my favourite kind...

[Daddys Girl]

I'm currently eating very soft foods - my wisdom teeth are giving me hell, leaving me on a very limited diet...

[V Knid esq]

So tired that I stopped at Sainsburys and bought a "bag o curry" with two different sorts of chicken curry, pilau rice, nans and samosas. Burp.

[Jeniffer Mills]

I just cooked some indian curried chicken with "Nan" (or rhotie??) Anyway ..my friends liked it...

[Sheridan]

today was my own make of couscous salad.
a large plate covered with dried baby spinach leaves covered with chopped tomatos, cucumbers, yellow onions, and green beens. covered with fresh tomato lentil couscous and topped with extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar. served with a side of whole wheat flat bread and roasted red bell pepper hummus.

[Orang Utan]

I just ate 8 rashers of bacon with my bare hands

[Me?]

Who was it on here that was doing the Atkins Diet? Just wondered how they were getting on with it, does anyone know?

That sounds like one whole dollop of health on a plate...

Have been really getting into my fresh fruit and veggies recently. Since I quit smoking and I don't know if its related, but I had the most awful stomach and bowel problems. So I hit the decent food, cut out the curries and cut down the massive beer intake and now I feel really good...

[Sheridan]

it is. and its real tasty and filling.
but then of course I have a cig afterward.

[pille'ocheoni]

right now im eating m&m's th original with a large cup of coffee waiting to go have a smoke. a malboro red to be specific. and the cup of coffee is in a green cup and its not that bad. i like the green m&m's the best. thank you for listeing

[Sheridan]

sounds like a fantastic breakfast. mine consisted of an ensure, and a mug of orange juice. the mug is white and has a graphic of the chemical composition of caffeine on it.

[pille'ocheoni]

your drinking that ensure stuff? what the hell is that stuff anyways? my grandpa drinks that. isnt it for old people? or does it just have like nutrients and what not?

some US bloke has written a book saying there are something like 15 foods which are just so good for you you'd be stupid not to eat them. they're the best of the best for you.

i read about it in the observer then i heard the bloke was on 'this morning', and that it was a craze sweeping the nation.

i may be forced to buy the book im a sucker for things like that.

he reckons blueberries are the best, and has dubbed them 'brainberries'

they are also highly expensive at £2.99 a punnet but then thats cheaper than a large glass of wine down the pub which i never seem to think is too expensive to buy several of.

They always have these going cheap in the Hackney Tesco. In fact the Hackney Tescos is really good for cheap clearance veggies. I suspect this is because they sell a lot of subsistence food, but are forced to carry a core selection of Tesco products that no one around there can afford until they almost have to chuck 'em...

Had the baked onions again for my dinner... leftovers from the other night...

[Lady E]

you are baked onion mad!

im tempted to try it myself actually sounds lovely.

[Lady E]

my friend hannah stayed with us on friday night.

she always likes to eat nice food and has promised that if she comes to dedbeat she is going to bring her juicer and loads of cooking implements and yummy food.

it was funny last year seeing her trying to get fresh garlic in the pontins supermarket, to no avail.

anyway she introduced me to honey and cheddar on toast, even nicer if the butter is slightly salted and the toast is wholemeal. its so nice.

[Jeniffer Mills]

I just made some yummy lasagne..mmmmhhh... But you allways must be carefull not to burn your mouth after it comes out the oven!!

[tsr_tomas]

pille, jea. thanx... when the time is come, i´ll bring some extra quality gear for toast.

if just like that, that is ^___^

but after it comes out, aua.. yes that's often a problem

[grobelaar]

I made butternut squash, roasted red pepper and coriander risotto the night before last. have to admit the leftovers tasted nicer yesterday... Must make mental note to let me food stand a little before serving it up...

Any road, what with the peppers, the squash and the coriander it looked kinda jamaican, colourwise...

[roberta_hood]

some bread with cheese... so much to do at work.. now there are some minutes

[Patrick]

We also had a roast butternut squash last night - but just roast with garlic not with fancy extras like Grobs. Actually, your combination sounds good. Anyway, didn't think I'd like it but I was pleasantly surprised.
It's quite cool since we sarted ordering one of those organic veg home delivery box things, we get lots of veg we wouldn't normally buy ourselves (as well as all the staples like spuds, onions, carrots etc.) so it means we have to get a bit more creative with the cooking.

Grobs knows his onions !

[Jeniffer Mills]

Chinese noodles with mushrooms and peppers, with that great currypaste i bought today at the Thai food store....(hot!)

So easy to fix, just chuck all the contents in the pan, and ready in 7 min.

i made butternut squash gratin on sunday night, with potato, cream, wholegrain mustard, milk and garlic. topped with parmesan and a bit of cheddar.

it was so nice.

[animal night train]

butternut squash rules.

[May Kasahara]

Squash rocks full stop. Butternut squash is very nice if you cut it lengthways scoop out the seeds/weird stringy stuff, and stuff it with a Stilton/brown breadcrumb mix, then roast till tender and serve with a sauce made of leftover Stilton and double cream. It's the healthier heart attack option.

I also like the littler round green squash - my favourite way with those is to cut a 'lid' off the top, scoop out the seeds etc. and fill with sour cream and chopped garlic - then roast with the lid on. Either of these is a great Sunday roast substitution for the non-meat eater, i.e. me.

Currently eating much less interesting but no less tasty food - Quorn pate & cucumber sarnie, Worcester sauce crisps, apple, banana, clementine (not all at once though).

[Orang Utan]

Was gonna have kale with my garlic mashed (sorry, 'crushed') potato and spicy autumn vegetable soup, but all the greedy bastards I work with beat me to it. I am now in a bad mood.

This sounds really tasty, think I too may be doing some stuff vegetables of some description this weekend… Yeah, I’m veggie too, for some reason people think that means we can’t enjoy a Sunday roast dinner…

Peppers and aubergines are nice to stuff too, but I’m continually at a loss as to why they are still so expensive. I don’t buy my veggies from the supermarket any way. Have been thinking about getting one of those organic boxes delivered, but I’ve heard the selection can be a bit hit miss, on variety and quality – so I reckon it might be up to Stokey for the farmer’s market.

I've been eating noodles and curries a lot.
easy to cook. bloody tasty. loads of meat.
also a new noodle shop opened down the road, if I can't be bothered cooking I go there......so like, I go there a lot.

After what seemed like a tireless search, I've finally found some bowls that are of a suitably pleasing size and form for serving soup noodles. Couldn't believe how difficult it was, all the bowls seemed to either be too flat like a pasta bowl, or too small.

Its got to be deep, but also enveloping, as if you might imagine soaking your face in their so you can catch all the aromas...

[Paddy]

last night, i had trout, broccoli and tatties, then a massive bowl of seafood pasta about an hour after that.

[V Knid esq]

I just went a bit wild at Sainsbury's on wednesday, so we've got lots of nice stuff in the fridge.

Breakfast: big bowl of fromage frais with chopped up mango, nectarine and strawberries

Lunch: I made some smoked mackerel pate, a variation of my mother-in-law's recipe. It's dead easy and really lush: peel the skin off a few smoked mackerels, and chuck the flesh in a bowl with a big spoonfull of Quark cheese, a squeeze of lemon, two finely chopped spring onions, a finely chopped gherkin, a tiny dollop of tomato paste, a splash of worcestershire sauce and some salt and pepper, then mash it up with two forks. I had it on Vogel linseed and soya bread toast. With a lovely cup of tea.

[wired]

actually i'm eating some brandt-zwieback (yes,the one with the ugly child on the front) today evening i'm gonna cook a really special meal called "morchelrahmsoße mit spätzle und kalbsfilet" :-)))

[stitchey]

whoo, wired, i know "Morchelrahmsosse"... that's some quite rare and expensive mushroom with a distinct taste. awesome. delicious.

Knid V esq, thank you for the smoked mackerel pate recipe! will def try that. here's the vinaigrette version of the butter/caper sauce. it works for tofu and a few vegetables as well. flounder, sole, cod, pompano, tilapia and mahi mahi for the usa, are the mild fishes matching this delicious and simple sauce: melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan (moderate low heat), add 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar and 1 teaspoon of drained capers, cook until heated through (about a minute). remove and stir in 2 tablespoons of minced flat-leaf parsley (other parsley is fine too), add optional salt and pepper to your taste. done! i always double all the ingredients for approximately a pound of fish.

Just crabmeat, mayo, lemon, pepper.

Goooood cheese. I like it, especially as it's cheaper than Parmesan and a bit similar.

[Paddy]

yeah it's dead good, and it's got a weird sweet flavour.

i can eat it in lumps! well nice.

[adsr]

Chinese Food and now I'm off to get some cookies w/ milk and good movie...

very low key kinda weekend...:)

[V Knid esq]

Just went out for dinner... had cauliflower and truffle soup, and because my wife liked the taste of it so much (it was pretty fucking lush) i let her switch starters for the last bit, so i had some devilled duck livers too... then roast beef with yorks puds etc, which was a bit disappointing as the veg and pud were a bit dry... my own stupid fault for ordering roast late sunday evening - the veg had probably been roasted that morning then sat keeping warm and drying out all day. The strawberry pavlova was nice though, although the meringue was fluffy not chewy in the middle - a sure sign that it's been cooked in a hurry.

My Mrs just did potato gnocchi with Neapolitana sauce and loads of fresh basil and oregano from my windowboxes :)

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

we can't have windowboxes in my flat... fucking council.. or maybe it's just the lease.. although apparently the seagulls would decimate them anyway.. consequently have to pay through the nose for herbs... still.. it's an excuse to visit Taj..

Ooh get her!! lol

Never had white truffle but since recently discovering that prosciutto al tartuffo (ham seasoned with black truffles) is not that expensive at all, I'm totally addicted to the taste - I can really understand why it's such a delicacy... it is like an actual high eating it.

[Ladytron]

we just came back from a wedding party and we are stuffed. but still, mdk is eating sweet hearts. maybe i'll have 1... or 2.... or 3.... they go great with a nice tea.

I'm cooking up some black beans and rice with some kale.
I've also got an ear of corn going as well.

it can be fantastic when the truffle flavor is balanced right - I'm just in Belgium which is a great place for foodies anyhow. That prosciutto certainly sounds like I'd like to have it visit my breakfast table ;)

aawww....just found some chocolates that my niece stuck in my purse as a surprise..:)

you got a council flat!!?? you don't need excuses to vist taj mate. grocers to the gods.

i'm preparing an oven baked indian chicken thing from vicky bhogal's "cooking with mummyji" full of delicious anglo-indian business..smells good from up here.

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

No I looked into it.. it's in the lease. To be honest I'd probably end up 'accidentally' pushing it onto the annoying pissed woman who lives and shouts in the basement... if I did have one...

[adsr]

spoon fulls of peanut butter and green tea...
it's all about that nutritional balance!!...:)

Home made Fajitas.

w/ flour or corn tortillas??

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

w/ flour or corn tortillas??

I didn't make the tortillas :)

Flour ones from a shop, not so easy to get corn ones here.

I made guacamole for the first time, Fajitas are the lazy quick food option in my house so I often buy pre-made guacamole too.. but its normally shit.

it's for meals like this that I am grateful for an authentic mexican sis n law....
she makes this dish called "Ropa Vieja" which is this seasoned meat like fajita except its all broken and soft w/ extra little hot seasoning (don't know what) and then she makes this fresh diced cilantro and onions mixture to put into the tortillas...OMGOODNESS....
btw ropa vieja means - old clothing...cause that's what the mixture looks like..a pile of brown old clothing..
doesn't sound very appetizing, but I promise you....w/ some hot sauce and a plate of yellow rice... u forget about how the meat looks...

fajitas tho..are also a specialty at my bros house....my sis n law seasons and my brother bbq them on the grill....i love sunday evening meals at my family's house...:)

Sounds great, I like that about Mexican food, unpretentious, not overly concerned about appearance and tasty!
A bit like decent english food in that sense.

cause other than indian..my english dining hasn't been very good..

[V Knid esq]

No.... real english food = pork chops, rack of lamb, roast beef, various chunky soups, steamed puddings... raw, rustic, heavy sort of stuff a lot of the time but if it's done well it's majestic cuisine.

[Tim Exile]

Amazing. A faded and inelegant laminated copy of this is up in one of the chip shops in Brighton. I've attempted to purchase it on a number of occasions and am considering risking a criminal record as it's so good

[V Knid esq]

Man you won't believe how many great posters they make http://www.pukkapies.co.uk/posters.htm

sorry adsr... forgot to reply ;)

Aye I think good english food is what you get served in peoples homes, restaurant culture here isn't the same here as in mainland europe.

[Tim Exile]

They have a great sense of irony. That alone will up my already heart-bypassing pie intake

Fuck that Tim.. you want to go for the "Large internal illuminated sign" on your bedroom wall..

[V Knid esq]

I've just been down the chippy too. I had cod, Mrs Knid had a steak and kidney pukka pie.


@Steev, yr kind of right, there are some modern restaurants that do the classic english food in an unpretentious way - Frankins on Lordship Lane being a great example - they do great things with pigeon, pig, chard, nettles etc etc... but the best place of all to find real English food is in either a pub or cafe that make their own steak'n'kidney puddings etc.

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

Aye Franklins is nice, although a bit more pretentious than english food really needs to be at times I think. It's not often restaurants beat the best home cooked food I find. I hope no tourists actually makes a special visit to a chippy to buy a pukka pie now though.. I think it takes years of context to appreciate them :)

Frozen pizza for lunch in honor of wuffle...:)

a massive bag of pine nuts that i nicked from tescos last night.

Never ever thought of drinking malt whisky with food, but I'm having a glass of Balvenie with a crumpet and honey and it's really really good.

Interesting... after all the Middle Easterns do something similar with pistachios, so why not pine nuts?

[V Knid esq]

Just had some grilled fresh sardines marinaded with lemon and rosemary and some jersey royal potatoes with butter and tarragon. Like a silly bugger I forgot there were some mange touts peas in the fridge which would have been great with that if i'd steamed them in time but no matter it was nice. Now having another coffee and another whisky :)

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

sounds awesome too!!..

It's super rich.. and unlike a lot of Lawson recipes.. it actually just worked without you having to change the recipe halfway thru...

Isn't it like that in all cat homes???..
lol...

I would be surprised to see a cat that would bring in the paper, beg to be petted...or give a shit about what the owner thinks in general.......

that cat would be a disgrace to all cats and would be in line for a good kitty round up by all the other cats in the neighborhood...

(I think that cats must go to some common feline university where they learn they how to properly train their owners...)
