3 tbsp chopped parsley

For the tomato sauce:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic crushed
1 tin of plum tomatoes
1 tsp sugar
2 tbs chopped basil

Pre heat oven to 180 degrees

For the meatloaf mix together the beef, eggs breadcrumbs parsley and Parmesan or lemon zest of using. Season well. Bring together into a loaf shape and put into a greased roasting tin. Bake for roughly 1 and half hours.

For the sauce, sweat the onions for 5 mins add garlic, tomatoes, sugar and some salt and pepper and cook for 10 minutes until reduced a little then add the basil. Leave to cool then blend to a smooth puree.

Cool, thanks! Might try it with half beef mince, half pork mince.

Oh, what oven temp (non-fan assisted) and oven position?

Today I cooked venison for the first time. It was incredible. Roasted a large piece, rubbed first with a mix of sage and olive oil. Served with roast spuds, carrots parsnips, sweet potato, carrot, garlic and onion. Made a redcurrant port gravy with the meat juices.

I had goulash with roasted gnocchi. Lovely comfort food in crap weather like this!

Sorry - only saw this now. Will ask Mrs Billy for the recipe (if she has one - kind of a makey-up cook) tomorrow.

Popped Popcorn 100g
Milk 400g
Cream 100g

Add popcorn to scalded milk and cream, steep popcorn in the liquid for 30 mins and blend. Add salt. Push through a sieve.

Well at least that was the recipe I read. It didn't quite work and the quantities above will make a lot of puree. Also I found that the clag produced by steeping the popcorn in hot milk won't blend in all but the most robust of machines.

So I'd go for 50g of popcorn in something like 200g of scalded milk. Use fresh cream to lighten it as it blends. Add salt to taste. Since it's impossible to make 50g of popcorn, add extra popcorn if its too wet and more cream if its too dry.

Dinner tonight was sous vide short ribs. Cooked for 48 hours at 55c, they were pink and juicy and tough as old leather. So much for water bath alchemy.

I had chicken in a spicy tomato sauce with rosemary potatoes.

The tomato sauce is very easy to make - garlic, onions, 2 tins of tomatoes, a good pinch of chili flakes, cubed peppers and a tin of sweetcorn. Stew it all up for a few hours beforehand for the best taste.

Last time I made it, I made the "mistake" of using fresh chills - there must have been something wrong with them, because there was no kick to the sauce. Using the dried chili flakes was much better.

Bangers and mash last night.
Tesco finest cumberland (pretty good), baked then mashed roosters, red wine onion gravy, buttered carrots.
Nice!

The weather is heating up here in India so time for salady dinners and lots of fruit. This is my dinner tonight, very simple plate of cucumber, carrot, red onion, tomato and 2 pieces of smoked cheese. Had to go all the way to Calcutta for this cheese so I'm trying to ration it!
