Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

Mainly salted water for boiling rice, pasta, noodles and vegetables, that's what the coarse stuff is for. The fine stuff, bread dough and on the table.
Oh, and I always cover fish in salt for 20 mins before cooking to draw out any excess moisture. Really firms the flesh up. Rinsed off and patted dry before cooking.

Baked Feta Pasta. Yum!

This is what comes of living in a house full of teenagers… This is Tiktok Pasta, a low effort, tastebomb.
After giving the feta, tomatoes, garlic and chili flakes a long bake, you mash it into a sauce and mix it with your penne. Garnish with lots of fresh basil. I forgot the last pic with the basil, but the touch of green makes it look a lot appetising.
The other fun thing about eating it is the accompanying soundtrack of Italian food purists everywhere groaning in horror [emoji1]

- Looks amazing… will definitely give it a try
I’d be over selling it if I said it was amazing, but it is very tasty and very easy. Perfect for a Saturday dinner with a family of seven…
I’m sure you’ll find a German version of the recipe, but here is the one I used a with an article discussing the dish:

Tomorrow, Paula and I are going on a longish walk, but I also want to cook Chilli Con Carne, so I started tonight.
Lots of fatty beefy offcuts, 1lb of pork belly and 1lb of fatty lamb chops chopped up small and cooked over a low flame for about 2 hours. The result is a magical oil base which I will fry onions etc in tomorrow, plus a load of the tastiest little meat morsels to add to the 3lb of beef waiting in the fridge. Yep, I'm not a purist…

not complicated …I love it

I found the lamb thing by accident. I always reduce pork belly to oil and then use that to fry my onions etc when making a chilii. A while ago, I bought fatty lamb chops by accident, did not notice until too late. The extra layer of taste to the finished con carne was amazing….

Looks great Rueben and @Giles. I always finish my chili with a small splash of Apple Cider vinegar. It really pops the spices and pairs well with the fatty meat.
Great start

All these dishes look and sound amazing.
That ticktock pasta looks easy enough that I may try it!

I’m thinking the same. Did the kids like it? @neph93
Super easy and very popular. The sweetness of baked tomatoes, combined with the acidity of the feta work very well.
