Soupy
This is a soupy thing that we made from lurkers in the fridge. It has 1 piece of osso bucco, some smoked pork belly, a couple of capsicums, a few leaves of silverbeet, and some of the tomatoey stock the osso bucco was cooked in.
Out of Order
(So, uh.. with internet at home due to happen this week; I’m abandoning neato until the grand unveiling of new neato.)
It’s Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
Osso Bucco
Coat 4 pieces of osso bucco (inch thick pieces of veal or beef shin) in a combination of flour, salt and pepper. Brown off in a large pan. Once browned, remove from the pan and set aside. Add one diced onion, and three cloves of finely chopped garlic; and cook until aromatic. Next, add 1 can of tomatoes, diced; then place the beef on top, and cover with beef stock (or water).
Cook gently for 1-1 1/2 hours.
Blink.. Napping
Kitten War!
There is a website, kitten war, where kittens (and cats) go head to head in “Who’s cuter” competitions. In any case, I’ve uploaded a picture of Blink; however it takes a little while to be approved. Fractal is up there as well.
Chicken Tagine
We made Chicken Tagine with Green Herb Couscous (or rather, a vague approximation of it) last night. It was… delicious.
The upside of the internet fiasco..
..is that I’ve had a bunch of time on my hands, so I’ve been tinkering with the site. Alas, it will have to remain top secret until I can upload it (:
The plan for tonight…
…is to make Fritatta.
Which barely has a recipe.
The fridge, has the last of the left over pork from the roti de porc au lait that I made on Saturday. The pantry cupboard has potatoes, onions, garlic and scallions; along with eggs. Ergo, fritatta seems like a good way to go.
So, about that pork
Hmm. I’m not so sure about it.
It ended up kind of splitting; so I ended up straining the braising liquid and making a thin caramelish sauce. I have a feeling that if I had an immersion blender it might have come right.
The pork ended up extremely delicate though.
