Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[Giles]

Roast chicken Sunday, chicken stock yesterday, egg drop soup for lunch today…..

I don't normally do fish fingers, but if I did, they'd probably be the best fish fingers in the world…..

Bonus points for telling me who coined this construction.....

Pickled onions are my fuckin jam.

My first thought for your small but colorful pepper bounty was to pickle them, but you are well versed in the art of brining.

How did your preserved lemons turn out?

[Giles]

Preserved lemons are great thanks, but I just have not got int the habit of using them regularly enough…..

Im sure I've seen or read this week about a chef using fish fingers in a dish but cant remember and the only chef I remember seeing on the Tv this week was Nigella (don't know how I remember that)…...so Nigella?

[Giles]

Yep, Nigella…...

My wife has been on a "bowl" kick lately. We shoot for healthy, but i have to add my own twist sometimes.
Braised red Cabbage
Wood fired Cauliflower
Wild Rice Brats (from a local famer near us. incredibly good quality but equally as expensive)
Whole Grain mustard yogurt sauce
soft boiled egg
Pickled Jalapenos from our garden
Fresh Cilantro

[Giles]

GOD, that looks good…....And GOD was the polite version....

[jordanscollected]

thanks Giles, it was really good. Plain Greek Yogurt makes such a nice sauce base we have all but eliminated our use of Mayo.

Sause & pasta.

Curry-fest at chez Padmore….

[jordanscollected]

all those curries look great @Giles. Do you stove top your rice or do you use a rice cooker?

My electric stove (i will have gas in our next house; for the stove top too) sucks for cooking rice so I often use the rice cooker for basmati and I also buy my Ghee. Aldi has Ghee for pretty cheap and it makes a world of difference.

What's a rice cooker :-\ :-X?

FFS, it's rice.  You boil it until it's nearly done, then you hold it.

It took me 35 years to cook rice well, but now it's a cinch….

Laughing my head off rice cooker, been eating rice over 40 years…

Never come across that.

@Chap uses one and swears by it…..I just don't see the need....(sorry Jens).....

I dated a Hong Konger who could not be without a rice cooker. She swore that no self respecting Asian would stovetop their rice. I don’t buy that at all [emoji23]

The only way I've managed to make decent rice is Alton Brown's pilaf recipe. Even my rice cooker rice is meh.

I made a batch of curry cashews as a snack for the upcoming week. It's a lot of taste-bang for the effort-bucks.

My mum cook rise without a cooker in third world in the old days, they use wood for heat, the upper part is made from mud..
The taste is out of this world so fresh

Fresh rice grown once a year still.. in my farm land.

Basmati rice is the best you can get in U.K

My boys my wife all are rice lovers..
