Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

@Alex and I were talking about the restaurant Fallow and the great YT channel they have. So I decided to get a bit cheffy today and attempt

I think I am pretty good at the common or garden variety, I'm hoping this will be next level...

@Giles expecting a stout or porter in the beer thread or a nice red in the wine.

So far the most difficult thing has been making the cartouche - took me 4 attempts....

Three and half hours in the oven now.....

@Giles looks perfect

[ROman]

@Giles How was it? Looks great....

[Giles]

Great thank you. Worth the effort. I didn't season the mash enough, so that needs to be improved.....

[Tago Mago]

@Giles if you ever need an additional set of taste buds I am more than happy to volunteer

Yesterday night exactly.
My wife managed to buy one of my favorite fish here in Norway: a turbot. Wild-caught. 800g. Perfect taste and texture. Et voilà!


Plus un Muscadet wich i recommend highly!

@hajduk brilliant! Turbot is my favorite fish too

My son made Jjajang Tteokbokki today. Including home made fish cake, rice cake and pork belly. Looks a bit weird because of the black bean sauce but it was super delicious.

Paula is away, and Kira has to leave for London earlier than @Alex , so I'm cooking for me and him.

Thought I would try another Fallow recipe. I love these guys, they give out so many Jeez-why-did-I-not-know-that cheffy tips.

I doing their Ragu and Gnocchi.

And this in one of those great tips. Normally I'd think the mince was done when it was grey and soggy, having boiled in the liquid it gives off.

They say to boil off the liquid on super high heat, then lower the heat and cook, scraping the bottom of the pan regularly, until it's dark brown from the Maillard reaction...

Brilliant, I always have issues getting a good Maillard with minced meat and can only achieve it when roasting bit by bit in small quantities
