Steaming always works well enough but cut into logs and microwaved in shallow water does it too. As does slicing and frying as if onions.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Our go to recipe for pork tenderloin is to marinate it in a mixture of oil oil, cider vineger, garlic, pepper, oregano & salt for a few hours/overnight and then grill on the BBQ. Works well every time. We buy them in bulk (*cross reference to Costco thread) and sometimes freeze them marinated in ziplock bags. Last week we took three out to cook for visitors, had one left over & I knocked up a tomato/potato/veggie stovetop one pan stew with the leftover. In my orange Le Creuset, natch.

Isn't that a bit bland though?

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Leeks, bland? Never.

They're peppery. :thumbup:

Also when microwaved, pour off the little water, add grated cheese (or thinly sliced) and pop back in.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I know this is frowned upon here but....:sneaky:

Onions, red pepper and mushrooms in the casserole dish.
Chicken thighs browned under the grill (broiler), also expelling most of the fat, then added to the other ingredients.

Sharwood's Korma sauce poured over.

Absolutely delicious.

For the others in the house here not liking anything curry or Indian related (philistines!) - even though the Korma is sweet and not the least spicy - cream of mushroom soup mixed with chicken gravy (lots of things work) for the cook-in sauce.
They liked it as much as I liked mine. Heavenly.

I could easily have it for xmas dinner.

I cook chopped up leeks in milk (seasoned withS&P) and add them to Colannon-YUM!
Or St David's Pie which is loads of carrot, swede, leek, onions a couple of spuds. All grated through a food processor. Sweat everything together in a little oil of your choice, lid on the pan. Drain.Mix with grated cheese, add preferred herbs, fennel is nice. Pack tightly into a deep dish_ Le Creuset if you have one ;). More cheese on top and bake in oven. Ta da!

British shop in Eglington Square appears to have gone :angry_smile::angry_smile:

On the plus side i've just taken delivery of my first batch of "homebrew". Will let y'all know how that goes

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Prime rib roast (stocked up @ $6 lb)
Wonderful. Nicely cooked on the outside and pink inside for those of us who prefer it that way. It actually looked like it does in photos. :thumbup:
Roast spuds/carrots, peas, (sort of) braised whole onion and the extremely gorgeous PC creamy horseradish sauce.

To die for.

lettuce :(

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Add carrot and given your avatar that is an entirely appropriate meal for you Pica :thumbup:

Having said that, I won't be eating kibble

Re: Teatime Choices
 

UN dinner; borscht, marinated pork chops, fettuccine.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Our little cat had pica as a symptom of haemolytic anaemia. She's ok now but not so little any more. Steroidcat.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Yes- the symptom did cross my mind but I hesitated to go there - people can eat the most revolting of things if experiencing the condition. Dogs usually don't need an excuse! Cats probably are a little more discerning.

So Snoop got Stinkypuplet to cook Sunday dinner- it was mighty fine :thumbup:
