What is everyone having for dinner tonight?

[Gollom]

When I can get them I get panko breadcrumbs, but on the whole we make our own from bread (brown or white, matters not) that is about to go off by putting it into the food processor and blitzing it really small, then into the oven on a wide tray at 120C for about 30 mins, stir and repeat once. Then when I turn it onto the board for use I run the rolling pin over it to get rid of any lumps and make the crumbs small - works well when I do pink veal or chicken escalopes! Also the crumbs keep well in sealed plastic container in fridge!

My son works for a catering food factor, so I get a 1kg bag of panko for about £6 As you say, they keep for ages (correct panko is actually dried shredded fresh bread)

I've only occasionally been able to buy panko down here, and it's a damned sight more expensive than that!! Every week we seem to have some bread starting to go mouldy, so give it a trim then a visit to the food processor and oven!! Only occasionally do escalopes so that works fine for us.

Our daughter now has her own private catering business so when we go up there (currently 120 miles away but may get closer next year) must ask her!

Monkfish Tail and Queen Scallops Version 2, Pancetta Wrapped

I've previously on this thread documented my "signature" dish of baked monkfish and scallops, but wanted to try something a little different tonight, so here it is! I found a couple of recipes online but used part of them with my own twist!

Out for dinner somewhere posh this evening. Breads to start, then French onion soup, then filet steak with peppercorn sauce and last deconstructed lemon meringue. Oh and a virgin pornstar martini because I is Rock’n roll.

 

[NJSS]

Pot roast partridge.

Wasn't expecting to see white eggs, tastes the same as brown eggs, no difference.

Someone else shops at Waitrose?
These are good eggs. Been eating these for years.

 

[AMGeed]

Takeaway curry for me tonight.
Chicken Dhansak, Bombay potatoes, special pilau rice and a Peshwari naan.
Hit the spot and some left over for tomorrow. Wolfed it down before thinking of taking a photo.

Fajita Saturday ?? Not Friday ??

Just finished pan-fried ribeye steak with triple-cooked chips, roasted garlic mushrooms and asparagus, and celeriac purée. Took me nearly as long to do the washing up as it took to cook everything. The bottle of French Cabalié helped to ease the pain (of washing up, not eating.)

 

[BIGDOG]

Fillet steak marinating in oil, garlic and scotch bonnet.
Will pan fry and serve with onion rings and walnut coleslaw.

Free range - excellent. ( The 1 UK code is the clue)

 

[Smart320]

No idea but as we are being taken to the mayor’s Democrat Fundraiser which is apparently a Hog Roast I suspect it might be pork

Haven't bought supermarket eggs for years, we buy from the farm gate at a place about 8 miles from us, free range, often brown sometimes white, sometimes a bit smaller, but the yolks are orange rather than yellow and the flavour is excellent. Until recently they were £2.80/doz but 1/10 they go up to £3/doz, still cheaper than supermarket eggs - which our daughter (Michelin trained chef with her own private catering business) says are 3 weeks old by the time they get to the shelves!! There are any number of private roadside egg sellers near us, but we've used the same place for many years and just include a visit into a normal Sunday morning car born "Hazle Hike" ending at a pub!!

Likewise we only buy local farm eggs. Mrs S maintains that it is impossible to poach a supermarket egg properly.

 

[Chrishazle]

Our daughter has a small sieve (like a flour sieve) that she puts over a glass, breaks the egg into it then waits for any liquid to pass thorugh the sieve before she tips the remaining egg/white into the hot water to poach. We've tried the same, actually have 2 sieves, but wife and patience do not go together!

Fajitas on a Saturday? You are a maverick, a loose canon, you’re the Mel Gibson of MBClub!
