For sandwiches

If you have a minute I'd love you to tell me what Porchetta is @Matty123 I know I could look it up, but I think I'd enjoy it (and understand it), more if it came from you.

[Matty123]

Hey Reuben. Porchetta is typically a pork belly stuffed and tied with other pork products. In my case I take a pork loin and wrap the belly around it and then tie it. It’s is seasoned heavily with garlic and other spices. Then I bake the hell out of it!  Let it cool and then slice is very thin for sandwiches. Delicious porky sandwiches.!

@Matty123:

Delicious porky sandwiches.!

Thank you! Looks very good indeed. All those vegetables and liquid (stock?) is for taste or does it get used in other stuff?

[Appfaff]

@Matty123 looks like you do it right and serve it with Broccoli Rabe???

Quite right. I apologize for leaving that out. Those veggies are indeed for a Stock. We make a gravy from the drippings in the pan. the veggies get blended with the stock and then we strain it through a chinois strainer. Very silky stuff at the end of it all

Temple Dahl and Saffron Chicken Balti:

Next time I will use red lentils, not yellow, so there is more colour contrast between the dishes….

Where do you live? I'm from MA, so I'm always curious to meet others from the area.

This looks amazing

I won't be winning any prizes from @Matty123  for this, and I am sure he would struggle to sell them if I was his chef, but it was bloody tasty.  80% biga pizza margherita…

[neph93]

Never talk down your own pizza. You were going for an «authentic, rustic» appearance, and achieved that goal masterfully.

[Matty123]

nonsense @Giles that pizza is perfect. i bet the crust was amazing. with that dough mix….

One of the few people we see in person during this whole mess is my wife’s sister and her family. Well they saw a Tik Tok video last weekend and decided to replicate it.
It’s basically a giant nacho table with all the fixings. We also finished a bottle of grey goose by way of Moscow Mules. It was awesome, over the top delicious and loved by all.

I wore my 1501 and their boxer who is obsessed with me drooled all over the No Lots.

[dinobarnesberlin]

Thats a nice spread there – love it when you can just build your own like that.
And, you cant go wrong with Grey Goose

Made Ottolenghi’s turkey & zucchini burgers today. They were good.

[Giles]

Yep, they look good…
