Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today
-
I don't normally do fish fingers, but if I did, they'd probably be the best fish fingers in the world…..
Bonus points for telling me who coined this construction.....
Im sure I've seen or read this week about a chef using fish fingers in a dish but cant remember and the only chef I remember seeing on the Tv this week was Nigella (don't know how I remember that)…...so Nigella?
-
Yep, Nigella…...

I liked the look of her banana skin curry aswell.

My wife has been on a "bowl" kick lately. We shoot for healthy, but i have to add my own twist sometimes.
Braised red Cabbage
Wood fired Cauliflower
Wild Rice Brats (from a local famer near us. incredibly good quality but equally as expensive)
Whole Grain mustard yogurt sauce
soft boiled egg
Pickled Jalapenos from our garden
Fresh Cilantro

thanks Giles, it was really good. Plain Greek Yogurt makes such a nice sauce base we have all but eliminated our use of Mayo.

all those curries look great @Giles. Do you stove top your rice or do you use a rice cooker?
My electric stove (i will have gas in our next house; for the stove top too) sucks for cooking rice so I often use the rice cooker for basmati and I also buy my Ghee. Aldi has Ghee for pretty cheap and it makes a world of difference.

Do you stove top your rice or do you use a rice cooker?
What's a rice cooker :-\ :-X?
FFS, it's rice. You boil it until it's nearly done, then you hold it.
It took me 35 years to cook rice well, but now it's a cinch….

My mum cook rise without a cooker in third world in the old days, they use wood for heat, the upper part is made from mud..
The taste is out of this world so freshFresh rice grown once a year still.. in my farm land.
Basmati rice is the best you can get in U.K
My boys my wife all are rice lovers..
-
I used to cook my rice in a pot, on the stove. Y'know, the normal way. My wife, however, insisted that we get a rice cooker when we got married, so we did. I guess it's more convenient. Doesn't make much difference in how the rice tastes.
Frees up a burner, if that's a concern.

@Chap uses one and swears by it…..I just don't see the need....(sorry Jens).....
Well as you know Chap is a bit nerdish regarding kitchen tools, so not the standard… (but who cares... I heard about guys having different fishing rods for every water and every fish around the world :P)
On the other hand, the rice cooker I have (received it from a persian friend) is not only for cooking rice, you can as well back rice cakes in it which can be filled and get a super yummy crust

So, that was last nights fest.
I used red rice from the Camargue region of France (top right in the pic). It is wonderful, and so much nicer than brown rice. If anybody wants some and finds it hard to get, let me know. It's quite expensive, but IMO, totally worth it.
It takes a long time to cook and hold it's al dente for ages. So is perfect to do in a saucepan. I cook until just too firm, then drain and put in a sieve over boiling water with a lid over the lot, I can keep it pretty much perfect for 20 minutes easily, doing that.
