What did you cook/eat today (April 2018)?

Squid bodies?

Yes - that's right. A strange recipe - but it seemed to work.

I had cauliflower in a wild garlic sauce (white sauce with shredded wild garlic leaves and black pepper), with strips of red pepper and freshly cooked broad beans, served with a couple of slices of crusty sourdough bread.

While I was looking at recipes today, I came across a recipe for a whole cauliflower that was parcooked, injected with a stuffing of bacon, cheese, kale, some other things, then rolled in bread crumbs and baked until done. It was cut in wedges and served. Not sure from looking at it if it was a main or a vege side. Looked interesting though.

I've never been very adventurous as far as cauliflower is concerned, preferring to have it in a sauce of some sort. I have had it with a bacon and cheese sauce, but it was steamed rather than baked.

As far as I am concerned you cannot beat a good beef steak. However, considering the price, I treat it as luxury but I had one today.

Cooked rare - medium.

Served with jacket potato, sweet corn and shiitake mushroom sauce.

Sounds good. The brine from pickle jars is a neglected gold mine!

It really is. Feels wasteful tipping it out.

We use it as a flavored vinegar in dressings often.

I tip olive brine into things I’m cooking if the recipe calls for olives.

I have a confession.

Tonight I fed my family Spam.

It’s all the fault of a How Stuff Works, Food Stuff podcast I listened to recently.


Anyway, I diced it and cooked it on a non stick pan until crispy, added bacon, garlic & kale, then drained pasta & a scoop of quark.

Was pretty bloody good actually.

I'm not sure about the quark but, IMO, there's nowt wrong with Spam (except it costs a fortune here!).

I rather like Spam - spam fritters for me!

A very colourful plate. I see you removed the bean casing for that lovely vibrant green.

SNAP - although I don't think it was rolled in breadcrumbs. I was looking at a whole baked stuffed cauliflower - the stuffing is injected into the crevices of the cauliflower using a piping bag.
