    Tonight I had a Christmas day dinner, minus the sprouts. Have an uncle in every year for a feed and a catch up. He must have had 3 stuffing balls, mine were the size of a tennis ball. The smile on his face when he finished, I sent him home with a dinner for tomorrow too.

    I was tempted to buy a Supervalu "Christmas Dinner" this evening for the craic and test. I slid off the sleeve for a look and for 5 quid, it's okay. Mash, roasted carrot and parsnip, sprouts and stuffed turkey and ham with gravy. No excuses at all.:D

    Get yourself in for the Christmas ready meal as close to Christmas as possible. I'll review later in the week with photos. They also have a small Turkey breast piece for a fiver. Another option for Christmas.

    I don't actually use a Dashi in this one. Its just pure pork bone broth and Shio tare recipe I have been working on.

    Tonkotsu for me is really about a good strong pork broth and a good tare to bring out its flavours.

    Ive posted the Shio tare recipe on my blog and Im going to post the Tonkotsu broth recipe soon:

    Broth:

    4 kg Pork femur(split), neck, spine bones
    500 g Pork back fat

    ​
    Soak bones for a few hours in cold water, discard water, rinse, add fresh water then boil hard for 30 mins, rinse, discard water and scrub bones clean. Cover with fresh water about 2 inches above the bones. Note the level and keep the water topped up to here and bring to the boil. For the first hour skim any dark scum that floats to the top.

    Add the back fat.

    Boil hard while you can supervise and stir it a few times an hour to stop anything sticking to the bottom or bones burning. If you are sleeping or cant watch it, turn it right down to a very low simmer and bring back to the boil after.

    I boiled/simmered mine for about 24 hours.

    Strain the broth and discard all the solid matter.

    Use an immersion blender at the end to emulsify the fat to make it turn more white.

    Brought my dad out for wings. Here's my jd wings. He got sticky bbq, which he says we're a struggle. He'd have been alright with a kilo of wings, if he didn't get soup for a starter!

    Only had half a bowl of porridge for breakfast, as I'm still full.

    Ohh are those the paste pots? I've been keeping an eye on Sainsburys for the last while to see if they were in stock yet. Were they any good?

    No I saw those little paste pots in packs of two. These are like a foil pouch, you just pour over the meat and veggies. There are two flavours, tikka and lemon and corriandor. I tried the tikka, and also bought the lemon one which I will try again.

    For a quick easy tasy meal, they were lovely. The tikka was lovely on the salmon.

    Chicken, mushroom and spring onion pie in a sauce made from crem freche, mustard and chicken stock.

    I just cooked the chicken etc in the pie dish over one of the gas rings, saved on the washing up.

    Pie filling made last night here.

    Added pastry this evening when I got in from work. Brushed with a bit of milk and dash of cracked pepper.

    IMG-20181217-173955.jpg


    Into the oven for 25 mins and out come this bad boy.

    Was planning originally to have with mash, but in the end up I decided to just eat as is.

    IMG-20181217-173026.jpg

    Just the thing to come into after being out in the elements most of the day.

    Today was a good day.

    Turkey burgers tonight, made with mince, garlic, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, salt and pepper. Toppings are smashed avocado, a chilli/ketchup/mayo sauce, and brie. Served on a brioche bun.

    Empty plates afterwards!

    Trying to use up some stuff from both fridge and freezer to free up space led to a quorn chunks and mushroom balti today. Just about enough freezer space for what I needed released and a major dent on the veg drawers in the fridge with mushrooms and peppers gone.

    I've nearly totally gone off chicken cooked at home - for some reason I'm just unable to cook it properly despite being decent enough at everything else - so the quorn chunks are the closest I get now!

    Went a bit Oldskool last night, homemade chicken nuggets and chips. I made the chicken nuggets on Christmas Eve because I had chicken breasts that were on their BB date and the chips were twice cooked, and the beans because, beans!

    Love these types of dinners.

    Also a simple dinner here - have frozen chopped turkey, so I did a one dish bake using that, rice, stock, coconut milk, curry powder and loads of veg. Tasted great! Also I do love those dinners that can be rustled up from stuff in the cupboard!
