The **Now Eating** Thread

My cardiologist would batter me if he thought I ate one of those!

That steak looks delicious (As do the chips and corn )
Is it from anywhere special or just the butchers?

 

[DirtyJester]

All bought from Asda, rump steak, corn and home made oven chips.

Those chips look pretty pro for home made oven chips. What's your technique?

For dinner I made purple broccoli, pro roast potatoes and 24 hour sous-vide lamb leg as per this recipe on ChefSteps. I absolutely recommend it as it was awesome. The leg was cooked at 55C so despite looking incredibly rare (almost raw) in this pic it actually was perfectly cooked.

(Picture is actually from the left over lamb about 45 minutes after serving. I forgot to get pics earlier.)

Homemade oven chips. I peel and chip them, then power boil. The important bit is drying them out, thourghly and salt them too. Hot oven with preheated baking tray ( I use a hide sided tray as it's easier to shake and flip them about to coat/move them) and preheated oil. Then bake while giving them a good shake from time to time.

I know it's a tad wasteful but I now find if you cut off the pointy chip ends it prevents them burning. Nothing worse than when you bite into that charcoal!

That lamb looks like it's still grazing

Not wasteful at all really as eating charcoal is probably not something that you should be doing much of

Sounds like a similar method to what I use for roast potatoes and regular chips.

Yeah..lamb is surprisingly pink at 55C The potato cam pic also doesn't help with terrible colour balance.

You have no sympathy from me, the past week or 2 I've seriously considered unfollowing you on Instagram with all the food and ski pics that have been going up.
