Beef looks good

I've got some pork collar I have been slow cooking and have made a mole to go with. Going to serve them both up on some tortillas with some crushed feta, lime, sliced radish, onion and coriander. Nom nom.

 

[Maccapacca]

Was a Chateaubriand cut tied, and up to room temperature. Sea salt and pepper then seared in a pan hot hot. Roasted flat out till 50c in the middle then rested for 30 minutes where it reached 60c.

Where's the gravy, beef looks lovely and rare. Yummi.

 

[Maccapacca]

Don't do gravy. Plays hell with my colon.

 

[Glaucus]

Oh man, that sucks.
I think I would commit suicide.

 

[FrenchTart]

Not being able to have gravy does suck, though that's perhaps a bit of an exaggeration

Macca, have you tried making stuff from scratch yourself? Essentially making a basic stock and then thickening it up? I'm presuming gelatin and other essentials in stock don't mess you up? Obviously if they do, el sucko :/

I usually do my own from the bottom of the roasting tin and some veg water but today the roasted veg soaked all that up.

The gluten in gravy powder is one no no for me it's like someone raking razors down my insides.

Me exaggerate, never. I don't believe it

And oh right, well I never have rubbish gravy from granules anyway.
At worst, oil, flour, water and bovril/stock cubes.

As it's gluten you could use xantham gum instead of normal flour.

 

[FrenchTart]

Yeah, sounds like there are options, even if they're a hassle

I'm kind of lazy and sometimes use gravy granules Usually not though, or at the very least they just form a base and I supplement it with lots of stuff to make it actually taste good.

Hot wings, was going to amok it a meal and make a big bowl of coleslaw, but not that hungry at the minute, annoying as I bet it'll get to like 4am and i'll be starving.

 

[Glaucus]

Home made curry, 670mg of vitamin c in just that portion.
May have to reduce my chilli consumption.

Had a chicken and ham pie for dinner, homemade for the first time and was delicious.

About to munch some onion rings however as a snack

Made a roast yesterday, Cooked a pork shoulder low and slow for 7 hours then back in for 10 at a high temp to crisp up the crackling. Pic is pre gravy, made the gravy from the dripping.

I don't like gravy, I have cheese sauce on my roast instead.

 

[randomshenans]

I had a chickpea, beetroot and mackerel salad thing I made.

 

[MooMoo444]

Beef, salad and mustard seeded buns. Such satisfy. Very nom. Much taste.
