I haven't had jambalaya for ages (like, decades), what's your recipe? Quite fancy giving it a try. 

had one last week,  tend to make em up with what ever is 'around'  over the basic framework  of  veg and spices.

cheers guys, will try them out.

I tend to use smoked pork sausage rather than chorizo,  could be kabanos,  mattesons bent dildo,  or any polish type........... green capsicums rather than red,

On sausages: chorizo's silly expensive here so I used spicy italian stuff. The sort of thing you get on pizza. Lovely

I'm waiting for Decker to report back on how the Rick Stein recipes turned out, but it's been so long I wonder if he's died from an overdose of birds eye chillies or something.

VimFuego

nah, he's still looking for stein's pot noodle recipe.

Ah, that'll be it, then. This could be a long job.

Thread resurrection. Cooked a chicken curry my style tonight. Was absolutely lush.

I made a chiili beef stew thing. Started with a Higgidy recipe, added sugar snap peas, tenderstem broccoli and roasted Charlotte potatoes at the end. Enough for at least a week, and thoroughly delicious. Takes nearly three hours but mostly in the oven, not very much effort.

I'm just in the middle of a very nice smelling lamb madras, I've added a lot of smoked paprika tonight just to see what happens. Mixed with music and beer. I'm happy.

I did belly pork slow roasted in beer tonight(Cheiftan IPA)... made a nice gravy from the juice and served with mash and veg.  The cracklings didn't make it to the table.


not quite as good as my 24 hour pressed belly pork in cider.  But better crackling

Been doing the vegetarian thing this week - daughter was away and wifey was working late, so I cooked for the two of us. Mostly just comfort food stuff, but on Wednesday I made this mushroom stroganoff with the slow cooker which was bloody marvellous.

I would advise some changes, though - I used a tablespoon of cayenne chilli powder to give it a bit of a kick, and I think it needs 4-5 tablespoons of paprika. It also definitely needs finishing off in a pan to reduce it down a bit.

Also, it doesn't look like the picture - I think their attempt at it must've split.

This forum is getting a bit like Facebook.....

Last night I made Chilli, using the recipe I always use (with the switch of plain chocolate instead of the sugar).  Apparently, it's one of the highest rated recipes on the Good Food site.
