We had sopressata, smoked trout, and gorgonzola dolce for the antipasti. I had the pappardelle with duck ragu. And we had a bottle (or 2) of Montepulciano di Conero 'Piancarda' | Garofoli 2014. I can't possibly have a dry anything at the moment because it's my birthday month!! I will be truly old later this week, so I'm gonna live it up. Because...why not! Tip top Esther thanks. We had a week off last week and we ate and drank and smoked well into the evening, every evening, and you can only get enough of a good thing before the word " normal" comes into the equation. Don't worry my diva friend "normal" service will be resumed Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillumpuffer Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Friday evening and it's spicy !! A Beef Rendang. This classic dish is so fantastic I count it as my all time favourite curry. This is the Malaysian version as opposed to Indonesian. First make a paste: Fresh Coconut is grated and dry fried until browned. With this make a paste with Kashmiri chillies (dried) garlic,coriander seeds,cumin seeds,onions,fresh ginger and mild red chillies (fresh), water Fry stewing beef and add the paste, coconut milk,Kaffir lime leaves,cinnamon sticks and fresh lemon grass. When boiling add tamarind water and cook for 2 1/2 hours.When nearly ready stir. This will thicken the curry When almost done add palm sugar and serve with rice but I will have Roti. I sometimes do a cucumber salad but not this time This is a hot,spicy truly wonderful dish which bursts with flavour. Some vanilla Ice cream and berries to sooth the taste buds for afters Wines and green to round off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In block form where you mix with hot water and strain the seeds out or ready bottled. It's a vital ingredient in South Indian curries where a tart flavour is needed. The Rendang was historic !

Roasted on top of sweet Onions and a half bottle of cider. I have massaged sage leaves, white pepper and oil on top of the piggy. This is cooking as I type and I will make a gravy with cream and wholegrain mustard and the remains of the juices. Served with creamy mashed Potatoes and Black Kale (Cavolo Nero) A rich red will go well for me and a dry white for 'er indoors In a celebration of the Conservatives holding a conference in Manchester I'll have a big fat joint in defiance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZed66 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 That sounds delicous, CP. Bon appétit. I fried many many potato pancakes/Latkes and made fresh apple puree. We ate it all.

Using Barilla thin spaghetti as I like it and the DR said its better for you. I prefer the California dry reds over any wine anywhere. Napa Valley.
