I did Chorizo and Chick Peas the other night and it was lovely.  From a Nige Slater book (30 minute cook)

Had something similar tonight: Chicken and Chorizo stew from the BBC Good Food website.

I'd found a bunch of other similar recipes for essentially the same thing but this one was nice and simple, not requiring loads of (relatively) obsure ingredients.

[net.police]There's a foodie forum, Jim  [/net.police]


These fizzy drink recipes are beyond the pale.  Think of your teeth.

Curry and Cauliflower soup http://www.wickedfood.co.za/blog/tag/cauliflower-soup, can be padded out with little bits of frenchbread.  I'm not much of a cauliflower fan but this really is fantastic.

If you are really hungry you can toast some cheese on the bread...on no let's not open that can of worms again  .

This is a reliable and quick winner...and it's veggie as well.

Chickpea Stew with Toms and Green Chilli

http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/chickpeastewwithtoma_73070.shtml

I substitute a can of normal chopped toms for the cherry toms, think it's nicer but that could just be me - you can always chuck some cherry tomatoes in on their own.

Oh, and I noticed Jayyyymeeee's Ministry Book mentioned above. I did a sausage casserole pie recipe out of that just after Xmas which was lovely.

It didn't look exactly like that but it was tasty.

Tried this tonight and it was very nice indeed. For some reason though the crust wasn't very crusty. May need to quickly grill it before serving. Also if you haven't skinned chorizo before apparently it's easier to do once soaked in hot water for ten minutes.

Just had a bowl of Tom Kitchin's Leak and Potato Soup. I'm not normally a fan of L&P soup, but this one is real tasty. 

I didn't do it exactly as the recipe, which can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/leekandpotatosoupwit_93783.shtml

Instead of ox tongue (too much hassle) I used diced pancetta. It comes out a lovely bright green colour and tastes great.

had this:

with a bbq the other day and everybody loved it. real tasty.

Since we're approaching the season of mellow fruitfullness and ripe fecundity I though't I'd share a few things.

1. Elderberries, when used in conjunction with agen prunes and slow roasted meats are a joy.
2.  Cob nuts, lightly fied in butter with wild mushrooms before adding to a risotto or pasta with cream are a real pleasure, similarly fresh walnuts and almonds.
3. meaty fish eg monksifh, hake roasted with some air dried ham, seaweed and damsons (or other wild plums) also works a treat, particularly I think with a side of sticky squid ink. Think NOBO with Borris Becker shagging in the broom cupboard.

Did a variation on this Hugh Fernley-whats-his-face red cabbage recipe, changing the bacon chop for lardons and only cooking it for about 40 mins, served it as a side dish with roast pork. Went down very well:

Red cabbage braised with bacon

Bacon is often used to flavour braised cabbage, but keeping the slab whole makes it a proper accompaniment, rather than simply a seasoning. Serves three to four.

2 tbsp olive oil
500-600g slab of back bacon, or a piece of gammon
½ medium red cabbage, core removed and finely shredded
2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1 large or 2 small onions, finely diced
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
175ml red wine
2 tsp light muscovado sugar
25g unsalted butter
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp finely chopped parsley

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or casserole, warm the olive oil over a medium heat and brown the bacon on all sides. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside. Lower the heat slightly, add the cabbage, garlic, onions and thyme, and sauté gently, stirring, until the cabbage softens slightly, about five minutes. Add the wine, sugar and a wine glass of water, return the bacon to the pan, nestling it down into the vegetables, put on the lid and simmer very gently for an hour to an hour and a half, adding a little more water if it begins to look at all dry. To finish, stir in the butter, mustard and parsley. Cut the bacon into thick slices and serve with the red cabbage.

made and demolished this recipe this evening Thai beef salad. Made it with a fillet steak cooked rare on the griddle pan. Washed down with some cold lagers and then a gin & tonic chaser.

[butters]

Sounds reet good that - will be printing that one off while I am work tonight. Plenty of really good Thai Recipes here - the Thai Green Curry is simply awesome and gets cooked at least once a month at my house.

[lagerstarfish]

Looks good Jim.. much as I loathe Anthony Wanker-Thompson on the TV his recipies do the job...

[slackline]

Best Thai recipes I've used has been Pum's Lazy Cuisine that I picked up on Phi-phi Don.  Brilliant and simple, the salad is delicious and the satay the best ever.

Don't know if this recipe is the best but Laotian/ Thai duck salad is the tops.

Takes me back to sitting beside the mekong, eating this or papaya salad with fried chicken, washed down with 'whisky' sold in little plastic bags you pierced with a straw.
