      Anzac biscuits, because for some unknown reason, whilst fishing this morning, I remembered that mum used to make them for us when we were kids...

            Egyptian inspired Fava Fritters waiting to be fried...Yeah, that is a shit load of crushed cumin and sesame seeds.....

            (the ones at the top were the last ones I formed, and was running out of cumin and sesame 🙂 )

              When we were in Charlotte with @ROman and Ralph, Ralph took us to a Peruvian restaurant for lunch. We had Aguadito De Pollo, possibly the best soup I have ever tasted.

              Trying to recreate it.....

                        Bolognese

                        Disclaimer: this Bolognese is not traditional, but it's freakin' delicious. I learned how to make it at a restaurant I worked at over 20 years ago, and it's been in regular rotation ever since. The chef who owns the restaurant eventually came out with a cookbook, which I still cherish and reference to this day.

                        Firstly, here's all of my mise en place:

                        IMG_4131.jpeg

                        Here's the garlic (measure with your heart):

                        IMG_4130.jpeg

                        Cook the garlic until golden brown

                        IMG_4132.jpeg

                        Next, add the carrots and cook until caramelized:

                        IMG_4138.jpeg

                        Add the onions, and again, cook until caramelized. We're trying to develop flavors here and it's important to take our time.

                        IMG_4141.jpeg

                        IMG_4147.jpeg

                        IMG_4148.jpeg

                        IMG_4149.jpeg

                        Add the ground beef and Italian sausage, port, marsala, chicken stock, and chopped dried porcini

                        IMG_4150.jpeg

                        IMG_4151.jpeg

                        Spend some time breaking up the protein as it heats up, and once it's consistently distributed in the liquid and cooked, add cream, bay leaves, dried basil, red sauce, and tomato paste. Bring up to a near boil, and reduce to a simmer. Let it cook down for several hours over a very low heat.

                        IMG_4152.jpeg

                        IMG_4153.jpeg

                        IMG_4155.jpeg

                        Serve with pasta. I like to use Rigatoni and reserve a little pasta water to cook it all together in a pot right before serving.
