Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[neph93]

What with the cost of living bullshit, and me not catering for a massive family 24/7 I’ve started doing stuff that suits my tastes and wallet.

Once a week I find cheap tomatoes and dump 2kg in a pan together with a little sugar and salt, chili flakes, thyme and the peeled cloves of three garlic bulbs. Slow roast on low heat for 2-3 hours.

It keeps for a week and is perfect for a pasta sauce, bruschetta (especially useful for me, because baking), and a thousand other things. It also tastes glorious and the smell it gives the whole flat is wonderful and lasts a day or two.

@neph93 sounds fantastic and reminds me of an Ottolenghi recipe we like to do, spiced cherry tomato sauce

no cooking needed

Steamed spicy chicken balls. Before being steamed. They look really anaemic when cooked, but taste amazing....

It gets boring, I know.

[Giles]

Hahahahahahaha

@endo oysters and cider are never boring!

I’m not sure if I’ve been here long enough/have enough cred but my humor won’t let me pass up the opportunity for a “nice balls” joke
(Kidding aside those look incredible)

[endo]

balls jokes are always welcome here @hbg1

I knew I would hook one. Not having a blank is always a good fishing session.....

@Giles Chicken tartare?

[Giles]

No, though I would have licked my hands and the bowl like a kid with cake mix....

Say hello to Fred, he‘s going to join us for dinner tonight.

[goosehd]

@endo I’ve heard that he loves melted butter…

[endo]

[endo]

I‘m afraid Fred has to leave early …

[goosehd]

@endo Looks like his bath might have got the best of him...

[Giles]

Freds fucked.....

[endo]
