The **Now Eating** Thread

[MikeTheNative]

I had purple sprouting broccoli for the first time on Sunday, not fussed, I prefer normal.

A custard slice.

Ate a large slice of pizza at lunch today, it amazes me how much it sits in your stomach. I can feel it there now... it was 5 hours ago!

Edit: Twas yummy though hehe

I mentioned these earlier. Roast cauliflower leaves (they're meant to have crispy brown bits - as long as they aren't burnt it's all good). Toss them in a little olive oil with garlic and herbs (before roasting) and eat them while they're still hot.

Sounds really interesting - what does it end up tasting like? Sorry I didn't respond to earlier posts. Work has been hellish.

 

[Muban]

The stalk stays soft and succulent (slightly buttery) the edges go crispy and taste like....... the closest flavour I can think of is like the crispy 'seaweed' you get from the Chinese.

Steak with sweetcorn mash

That looks quite tasty to me,I love sweetcorn although id have to cook that beef a little more.

 

[Craig1981]

Nom nom!

 

[Rexxar]

Are those like ketchup crisps?

 

[Craig1981]

Ketchup flavoured, but not crisps. Fish n Chips are like... little baked snacks in different flavours. I don't usually eat them, but these new red and brown sauce flavoured ones are quite good.

A little steak and salad.

A 'surf-n-turf' salad (pastrami and makerel)

This was a rather nice snack.

Looks good, wouldn't have thought of putting those together

For me turmeric turkey burgers with courgette and chili salad

Sounds pretty tasty And a good use of a part that is often thrown away.

and...a belated reply...

I used this recipe.

I've kept the cauliflower leaves and put them in the fridge. I'll roast them with a little oil and some herbs and spices for another meal.

I like the look of that stew. I'd probably end up sticking some lamb in there too though because I love slow-cooked meat and lamb goes so well with aubergine

Last night and turkey burger with cauliflower bun. Brilliant.

Tonight's thai green curry with cauliflower rice. Side of Champagne.

Pretty delicious but also a bit of a disaster:

Purple broccoli (overcooked ), prosciutto-wrapped chicken breast coated in garlic, lemon juice/zest and parmesan and roast potatoes. This pic is before I essentially drenched the plate in pro gravy (onions browned and reduced down with some bicarb so that they break down, decent chicken stock and a dark roux. Additionally some fish sauce, Worcestershire source and soy sauce for the umami).

Pretty nice though the broccoli being overcooked was annoying. Aside from that I should've used larger breast pieces as not overcooking the breast turned out to be impossible without also not browning it decently. I went over it with a Searzall before serving but it was still a bit pale.

 

[bsoltan]

Totally thought they were sausages wrapped in bacon.

 

[FrenchTart]

They do have that look... or like..little bacon catepillars

BBQ sauce of the gods.

Some nice looking meals in this thread, thought I would bring the tone down a bit
