luxs Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Cuttlefish. Yea, in Makro it is possible to find 2-3 pounds ice-chilled cuttlefishes. Very nice for slow-cooking with lemon grass and red wine. Unfortunately the ink bag is removed in these cuttlefishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc55 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I have just discovered the joys of Laksa. It was amazing - I wish I'd tried it sooner. Here is the recipe if anyone is interested - it was very quick & easy to make and tasted a bit like a Thai curry: - Thinly slice two carrots & handful of shiitake mushrooms and add with 100g of baby sweetcorn (split down the middle) to a pan with tiny bit of oil - Toss over fierce heat for few seconds then pour in 1L of stock (your choice), 200ml coconut milk (although I used 400ml and it was fine), 1tsp umeboshi paste (if you have it), 2 finely sliced garlic cloves, 4cm of ginger grated (use juice too) and 1 tbsp red curry sauce. - Smash 2 lemongrass stalks & add them to the pot. - Bring to the boil. Add 2-3 noodle nests. - Add 1 courgette finely diced and boil for 4-5 minutes. - Remove lemon grass & stir in 2 tbsp white miso. - Add chopped fresh corriander & season with Tamari. - Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, quarter 1 head of pak choi & toss quickly until it wits - splash with tamari .... serve on top of the laska in big soup bowls :) I can post the curry sauce recipe if anyone would like it You could add cooked chicken pieces if you wanted to make it meaty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lectrolove Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Cabbage curry, sounds horrid, tastes great. Sounds good actually, spinach and greens curry well so why not cabbage? Which spices did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Sounds good actually, spinach and greens curry well so why not cabbage? Which spices did you use? Red onion, black mustard seeds, turmeric and whole cumin and a green chilli. It was made a mild side dish to a fiery beef dish so I reigned in my usual degree of spiciness. I stirred through a very large dollop of Greek Yogurt just before serving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Where did you get your mutton, taxman? Ive seen a couple of recipes to try with it, but never seem to see it about. Chris Beeches on South Road, Walkley. £10 a kilo, diced, which is cheaper than lamb but more expensive than shin or braising/stewing steak. And I have to say it is delicious. It's been marinated for two hours and slow cooked for 90 mins with lots of spice but I can still taste the meat, lovely.
