Ow that looks like it was a real treat mate 👍

I did a shoulder of lamb with Moroccan veggie stew and couscous the other day - cooked it for about 8 hours at about 90 degrees with a tray of water in the oven to stop it drying out. Beautiful it was, could eat it with a spoon

Yes @stquinto it really was nice, fairly basic - Garlic, Rosemary, Thyme etc but I am a fan of Moroccan food also, I have a Emile Henry Tagine which gets a hammering, you can pretty much use it for anything, it really does keep the flavours in & tenderise nicely. I use lots of Pasta/Couscous in dishes. 

I am doing a Rabbit in it later this week.

Cheers

Well tonight is Steak night, I have kept my old fashioned 1970's style sizzling cast iron platters, I have 6 of them, there is nothing better than bring to the table a hot sizzling steak with garlic, onions & all of the necessary herbs to the table with a whole steamed jacket potato with butter & chives & a Greek salad & of course red wine.

Oh, did I mention I picked some mushrooms from the front garden to go with the Bordelaise sauce.

Cheers Brewers 🍷

Looks awesome Phil !

I quite like to do a 70s Steak Nite when I have people round: prawn cocktail, steak and triple-cooked chips (crinkle cut), and either Black Forest Gateau or Crêpes Suzette. Can't be beat

Not every day is meat night : got this from Rick Stein's "Fish" book, well impressed.

In case you were wondering I do two or three HBs whilst cooking it, then a half bottle of Sauvignon Blanc.

 

Rick Stein is may favourite celebrity chef, I have several of his cookbooks & enjoy all of his work. I am like you I enjoy a few beers during meal prep & then switch to red or white wine depending on the dish. Not every night is gourmet night because some of the simple things cooked well are hard to beat. My favourite chips are twice cooked steakhouse cut. I make my own often but 1kg at Coles for $2.70 & chucked in the Air Fryer with added Chicken Salt is just as good.

Cheers.

One of the great TV chefs going round in my humble opinion - one of the best paddock to plate - farm to fork advocates there is. Love his style.

I totally agree, it makes Master Chef & a lot of the stupid shows that are on Free to Air, there are others I like, but You Tube/Netflix keeps me happy.

It seems I left some of this sentence out, I will have to put more water with it.

My homemade dimmie parcels of goodness and a very drinkable beer.  Life's good!

Terrific looking, I love Dimmies especially Steamed, I like them just as much with soy sauce as I do Chili sauce but deep fried is also good. 

You can make a nice meal out of them with Chinese Veg Stir Fry,  Oyster sauce etc or just go straight in a eat them as they are.

Well done.

And just an aside, don’t quite get the dunnies in this albergo 🤔

Mate I think they are for people who feel they always need to be together 🤔 having said that it brings me back to my National Service days 🥵

Believe me there are some things who don't have to share.

Nice tiles though !

Here’s one for you Phil @CLASSIC :

Moroccan Cous Cous 

Dunno if you’ve ever used Ras el Hanout - their spices for the vege stew that go with it

washed down with a Châteauneuf du Pape 

Yes @stquinto  I have used this one from Woolworths otherwise it is extremely hard to find  as others are, unless you go to a specialist spice store/market. I love North Indian Cuisine & do a  lot of dishes in my Emile Henry Tajine. I have one exactly as the colour below & use it all of the time, even for casseroles, soups etc. I love Cous Cous also.

Châteauneuf du Pape & other French wines are available at Dan Murphy's & some other stores but I have never tried that one.

bon appetit
