Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[neph93]

I promised I’d make this last time you posted it, but didn’t get around to it. Going shopping today so I plan to make one this week….

Two things: the lentils available at the supermarket are pre soaked. I guess that makes no difference? Just cut down on the time used in step 1?

Secondly, does that make a main for 4-6 people?! I feel like it would need to be trebled to feed my ugly bunch.

It matters not how long you cook for within reason, I leave mine going for about an hour, you just need some bite to the lentils.

I'd double up for your mob

Oh, and bunging some whole peeled hard-boiled eggs in a few minutes before serving, is delicious and bulks it up…..

[neph93]

I was thinking about having it as a side to some fried fish…

[Giles]

Erm, smoked…...

@Giles:

Erm, smoked…...

Smoked fish is my lunch all week. I’m not sharing that with trogs…

[Giles]

Reuben…...

And red rice from The Camargue …..(yes, it is in there somewhere....)

[neph93]

Lovely stuff. I picked up the lentils and some fresh coriander today, the rest of it I have with the exception of some decent chilis. I’ll find them tomorrow.

[Giles]

Next time we ship to you, remind me.  I have a bzillion dried ones from the garden…...Just let me know how many Scovilles you need......

[Giles]

[neph93]

Oh hell yes… a reminder will be sent. Thank you!

This summer was not very conducive for the ripening of tomatoes…Green tomatoe chutney it is then....

Certainly looks the part. I bloody love tomato chutney with a high quality bit of Cheddar. It’s been a long while [emoji22]

[Giles]

I intentionally went heavy-handed with the chilli, ginger and mustard seeds…..

[Giles]

Soime of the surfiet of pears our garden produced this year, converted into chutney…...

[neph93]

Damn it Padmore. Lots of good food up here but Norway’s chutney game is weak. I’m jealous.

I did make the Temple Dal the other day however…

It worked out well although I going to make some tweaks. I suspect it will be much improved by dried lentils for example.
