[Giles]

Once every couple of months I have to do a restock from my fave Indian shop in Portsmouth.  Today was that day….

[JDelage]

Green cardamom and black cardamom?  ???

Making pork chops with zhug (a spicy sauce from Yemen - recipe here: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2016/03/schug-zhug-srug-yemenite-israeli-hot-sauce-recipe.html).

[Giles]

I like the sound of Zhug

[JDelage]

Zhug is good.

Did some jerk chicken tonight. I used a little Pickapeppa Hot Mango sauce as a garnish. I can't recommend this and their Spicy mango enough. It's absolute crack and damn cheap from pickapeppa.com I'd eat a shoe if it was drenched in this stuff.

Too warm to go out, or even sit out… Weather forecast's pissing me off... Need some comfort food...

It's fastfood... I use pre-made dough and sauce from a can... Organic stuff without bullshit additives though (so eg. no fucking sugar)...

Basic... Onions and bell (end) peppers...

Goatcheese, fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes

Smoked motherfuckin' tempeh mothertrucker…

Fat layer of mozzarella and pine nuts…

Falafel with Ratatouille, Goat Cheese, Bulgur, Olives and Hummus.

[bryaneidins70]

Some eggs, some lentils and some salad…

No so much cooked by me as my local country pub…beer battered halloumi, chips, mushy peas, and a pint of Brentwood Breweries finest. Not being at work today feels gooooood 

[JDelage]

Grilled halloumi finished with lemon juice = huge bang / effort.

Yersterday for Taco Tuesday

In this warmth, cold soup is pretty much all I can stomache… Pumpkin soup it is...

Cool thing with this variety is that you can put it in the oven, so the skin becomes soft and edible No sweaty peeling for me!..

[Matty123]

What about a nice gazpacho?

@Seul

Cucumber gives me heartburn But if any of you have any other recommendations for "summer soup"…

Might make some spicy pepper/ mango/ coconutmilk soup...

[JDelage]

Look up "vichyssoise". It's a cold potato / leek soup. It's delish and very stylish. You could also make a good cold soup with fresh peas (don't overcook them!) + mint.

[Giles]

Or, stick to beer
