Ah Ha it is Pan Fried.

I actually pan fried it, or shallow fried it to be a bit more accurate, but not using olive oil. The olive oil I have is too good a quality to fry stuff like that evenly. I keep an old screw-top wine bottle with peanut oil or sunflower oil specially for shallow frying chicken. I then let it cool, and filter it through a tea strainer back in the wine bottle. I do the same for the chip oil, but this one I keep seperate.

The pic in the middle is the book it came from. The one at the bottom is my go-to pasta book. If I get three recipes from a cook book that I add to my list of dishes I consider the book a good buy (I get them from https://www.bookdepository.com/ for a decent price, I'll be buggered if I'm financing some f*#ker's trip to space to have him come back to earth and give me a lecture about not taking a plane...)

The recipes from this bloke Gino suit me quite well. I don't know about you but some chefs' way of cooking suit you quite well and others not:

Gino d'Acampo > great

Rick Stein > pretty good / great

Jamie Oliver > OK

Nigella Lawson > I just look at the pictures

Heston Blumenthal > forget it

any Yank book using cups > forget it

... you get my drift...

Nigella Lawson > I just look at the pictures   AGREED - NICE PICTURES

Heston Blumenthal > forget it  WAN......

I also have an appreciation for Gordon Ramsay & a lot of the French Chef's, also there a great Italian & so on - the list is endless but as you would know a lot of the overweight Yanks etc just keep banging on.

I do also really enjoy the really big BBQ competition events, awesome.

How's this another Aussie brand gone to China, what's happening to the good old Ozzy Pie, soon we will need chopsticks to eat one 🥧

stuff 4n20, give me a villis anyday

We are all different with different tastes, but I worked around the corner from Villis and had lunch there often.

Was never a fan of their Pies..

And yes, sad to see 4'n 20 being sold off to China.

Tonight, an old-fashioned favorite, Pickled Pork - a bit like the swine version of Corned Beef 🐖 but it was great with steamed vege's & a White Wine, mushroom & Pepper Gravy. Oh yes Squinta some wine 🍷

Lovely looking stuff mate! Looks like what the Irish call “bacon and cabbage”. My grandparents used to make that - boiled bacon and pease pudding. Can’t get the same cut here unfortunately.

Cheers, it was so tender & of course the overall flavour is determined by the ingredients used in the simmering, I used Vinegar/Brown Sugar/Bay Leaves/Peppercorns (whole)/Brown Onion/Garlic/Chilli Flakes.

Cabbage would have been great but none in stock, below is what it is supposed to look like, to be sure ☘️

Looks the Bizz Phil, lovely stuff. I quite often do a smoked pickle pork, just beautiful. I might give the boil a crack - looks good.

Cheers Mick, just bring it to boil & simmer gently for 40mins per 500gm, you only want a gentle simmer with the liquid just covering the meat topping up if necessary. I find it is best to let it sit for as long as possible in the liquid before serving. I wrap mime tightly in foil & when able whack it in the fridge. 

I had some on toast this morning on toast with Hot English Mustard, I could've gone a Pale with it 😉

WOWOWOWOWOWOW

Maaate @Classic Brewing Co Classic Brewing Chef and Brewer - what a beautiful meal - love the Gravy and Veggies and the Porker looks blaaardy perfect - and beautifully plated... you can take the rest of the Month off 🥳

Great Photo too... How do you get the meal in focus the surrounds to fade out? 

Is that a bit of post-production trickery in your festive graphics package?

Nice work!

Thanks, it was nice, when photographing food, you can set it to 'Food' in the camera settings & it focuses on the foreground subject nicely blurring the background.

It can also be done in post with "Effects" a vignette can be selected also enhancing the photo but it depends on your phone model.

My mate dropped off some Mullett fillets he caught in his boat, so I knocked them up with a few Panko crumbs, I was going to make a Tartare Sauce & a Salad but seemed to have got happily involved in the bottle of Sauvignon Blanc 🤣 so it turned out to be just Fish & Chips, nice, so who cares.

Lovely stuff Phil 👍

Since I discovered panko breadcrumbs, there ain’t no going back. A bit like home brewing, but on a less-important scale 😉
