What did you cook or eat today (December 2020)?

Chicken for lunch today, roasted in a brick. Onions stuffed with sausage meat and herbs, devils on horseback (I burnt these) roast parsnips with turmeric and black mustard seeds.

Sweetcorn with lemon peel and crispy sage leaves

Sprouts, steamed, then pan fried in butter.

Oh nice! Can’t wait to see final result
Did you use other veggies apart from courgette, peas, onion and carrots that I can see?

All looks incredible, bene!
Onions stuffed with sausage meat and herbs sound bloody delicious. Any chance for recipe or few suggestions?

Celery, garlic ( which I have to remove!), potato and cherry tomatoes. It was part cooked then left for re-heating later.

I will post the recipe, but to be honest the stuffing on its own would have been sufficient. The onion vessel, whilst looking impressive, did not add much. It needs more work.

Ok
A last suggestion: if you like the idea and if you have one, I often add a piece of cheese rind, - usually Parmigiano or Pecorino romano - at the end of cooking or re-heating. It won’t melt but it becomes very soft and gives a little twist

I cooked snow pea salad (with fresh turmeric) for the recipe challenge.

What is seerzall?

It is an attachment that goes on a propane torch for searing. It spreads the flame out, and removes the propane smell and taste.

Last nights meal went down well, we talked about fillet steak, both our kids mentioned they don't order them when out, they try something different. They all said I cooked them perfectly, 3 blue, 2 med rare, 1 well done for my wife. They also said choice of two sauces made a difference, 3 of us had both mushroom and garlic sauce.

Sweetcorn with lemon peel and crispy sage leaves

That caught my eye. I'm not a fan of sweetcorn (too sweet!) but the combination here should temper the sweetness.

Beef, Port and Chestnut stew from Cook, Eat Repeat - Nigella Lawson. Brown food heaven.

Nope, only knife and fork, then torn with hands
