Come on all you Coopers Community chefs out there - where are the photos? Things are getting desperate when I have to post a photo of my corned beef and boiled vegetables dinner. (It was yummy though, with 3 different kinds of mustard)

Yeah Jenny, you are right, only really been raw meat on offer lately 🤣 sorry Stquinta, I for one have been a bit basic lately & busy over Easter but something big planned for the next couple of days.

Corned Beef is great with mustard, I also like it the Pommy way with cabbage & mashed potato.

Flat Iron steak, a risotto with the first batch of the season, and salsa and salad. Tasty cut the flat iron, if a bit chewy

Nice colour. Not too red and very juicy looking. The risotto looks nice and moist as it should be. I never used Asparagus in a risotto but I like the idea. Is it pre-steamed/boiled and then added to cooked in the risotto itself?

Some homemade burgers last night. Couldn't find my go to Potato buns, so decided brioche buns will do, Minced brisket for the patties, homemade bacon. lettuce, tomato, burger cheese, a big mac kind of sauce and ketchup. It was pretty bloody nice. I had to try a second one to confirm though.

Cheers AK 👍

I parboiled the asparagus bit - tips and a few slices from the top of the stalk - in veg stock for 5 minutes. I put the bottom of the spears into the stock after I'd pulled the good bits out to make the risotto.

I put the asparagus bits into the rice after about 12-14 minutes of cooking the rice.

We get a decent aspargus season here: the first ones are from Mexico (not great), then Spain and Italy, and finally Switzerland. I think in Germany they are mainly white asparagus available that are locally grown.

It's be a few risottos, a few soups, asparagus pasta, side veggies .... for the next 6 weeks or so. Quite nice to eat seasonal - unless it's Mexican asparagus 🤣
