The Milner Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) My version of beef stew. First i make the gravy for the stew, get 3/4 big carrots and a large white onion, grate the carrot and chop the onion, sweat it all down in a big pan with a nice bit of butter until it all starts going soft, add in about a quarter bottle of red wine and let the alcohol cook off. Add some boiling water ( i like to make far too much gravy so i can freeze it off and use it for weeks) and some beef stock and cook with the lid on for about 20 minutes. Then get a hand held blender and blend it all down like you were making soup. Empty that into a bowl and wipe the pan clean. Next fry off your meat with another bit of onion, when brown add some flour into the pan to cover the meat, add in your gravy you made before and some chopped carrots and slow cook for about 2/3 hours, depending on what kind of meat your using. If its not thick enough at the end just add some gravy granules. You can also avoid using flour and just thicken it completely with gravy at the end, but i think that kinda defeats the purpose of making a nice gravy as the strongest flavour ends up being the bisto. Boom. Edited November 18, 2013 by The Milner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flights Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) I made some really hot chili last night after drinking a lot of rum. Ingredients: Chicken (I like chicken chili, you can put in any meat,veg or pulses you want though)1 tin chopped tomatoes10 odd birds eye chili's (depends on on how hot you want it really)3-4 odd teaspoons of chilli powder. I used Habanero powder from this kit but again adjust to your desired heat.Couple squirts of Tabasco sauceBottle of beer (I used like 3/4 of a Newcastle Brown Ale)1 OnionGarlic (can't remember how many cloves, probably 2/3)Little bit of Coca ColaStock cube1 home measure of rum and cokeNote no kidney beans. This is because I'm not a massive fan but feel free to include! Method Chop and fry yer onion and 3-4 of the birds eyes with some butter in a pan.After a couple of minutes fling in some coca cola and the garlic. Just enough to cover the bottom of your pan.Pop the lid on and keep giving the odd stir until the coke has been absorbed then fire in your meat or veg of choice Whilst the frying goes on combine the rest of the stuff into a big bowl. I added the rum and coke at the end but that's because I only thought of it then. You can add it whenever you want. Chop the chili's up but leave a few in big-ish chunks for some excitement. Once your meat/ veg has been browned/sealed/softened/whatever pour in the rest of the ingredients, give a good stir and stick the lid on the pan.Let it simmer away for a decent length of time. I used an episode of man vs food as a sort of timer. Gave it a stir in the adverts, another stir when Richman began the wings challenge and then turned the heat off once the episode was finished. This is where I left it last night as I'm planning on eating mine tonight. However if you're making it to it eat it the same day this is the point where you should chuck your rice/whatever on.Keep the pot of chili on a low heat whilst the rice boils. Once that's all done fire it onto a big plate and tuck in. I like chili with cheese, sour cream and some corn tortillas for scooping action.

Teabags Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Do we do drinks in here?I tried Ron de Jeremy spiced rum with coke yesterday. It's probably the greatest rum I've ever tasted (well, with coke anyway).http://www.rondejeremy.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 I think there was a specific drinks thread kicking about somewhere? Will try to find. I went through a rum phase recently but have shied away from it because most bars assume you want a spicy or white rum but I only really like gold rum. Makes a really nice old fashioned.

Eupraxia Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Most people are afraid of flavour with their tatties, so my mashed potato (do the twist) does not always suit. I'll aim to calibrate this year, but I am a flavour-fiend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girl anachronism Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 This'll be the first year in a while that I'm not cooking my own food. I've perfected a caramelised shallot and porcini mushroom porter gravy over the past few Christmases. Made by reduction rather than with a roux so takes forever to cook, worth it for making the house smell glorious though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I made hot wings. Again. They are my favourite: I mixed the wings in a big bowl of flour, garlic salt, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper and dried parsley, and cooked until they were golden. Then brushed them all with a slither of hot sauce and cooked for another 10 minutes, so it soaked into the crispy coating. Then sloshed on even more hot sauce, and devoured the lot. The hot sauce was pretty much a whole bottle of Frank's, fired up on the hob with a wad of butter, more black and cayenne pepper, and a couple of drops of other hot sauces. I put the rest of the hot sauce in the middle, with some garlic and herb dressing, for dunks. Served with a bowl of fries (not pictured) lashed in black and red pepper. Fire Fries, I call 'em. Salt sucks. Pepper FTW. Top scran. Tomorrow's toilet visits will be violent and plentiful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Embdy been watching the Vice Munchies guide to Scotland? Episode 5 was in Aberdeen. Classic buttery and pies + oil workers + Belmont Street revelry footage. Overall, you've got to say it doesn't paint a pretty picture of Scottish cuisine but it's entertaining. The hairdos of the guys in the 1st episode is worth a look. http://munchies.vice.com/videos/munchies-guide-to-scotland-episode-five/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 We watched all five last night. The Aberdeen episode is by far the most cringe-worthy IMO. The more remote areas throw up the most genuine people I think - really passionate about the part of the food industry they're involved with.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Pointless and cringey swearing and swigging directly from the bottle that he then uses to cook for customers among other things. Just 'being wacky'. He seems an intelligent enough sort deep down, mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
