What's For Dinner Tonight?

[sunni]

sounds awesome actually. The chilli flakes will add a lively twang to things.

unless they're tomato's I've grown I have to put them next to bananas to ripen quicker or they go off before they go ripe. Drives you mad.

ya i like things a wee bit on the spicery side or at least some kick my nonno did as well

good for you in all sorts of ways spice is. Immune system to digestive tract.

off to a fairly posh place that had 50% off voucher for each Tuesday in November. Guess it's their slow night lol. Normally £22 for rib eye!

how i make my sauce (when all variables are preferable is)
olive oil, sweat the onions and garlic (about 4 cloves)
add tomato paste once all is translucent and caramelize the pan a bit

add jarred or canned garden tomatoes
and some jarred or canned crushed tomatoes

depending on how thick or chunky the tomatoes are once i reduce the sauce for a few hours i will immersion blend it a little
i like a bit of a chunkier sauce so to speak i dont like huge chunks but i dont like completely smooth either
i also add fresh garden basil, dried hot pepper flakes
i bring to a boil and than reduce to low and let simmer for 6-9 hours , if i go past 6 hours i stick a carrot in it
i let simmer to reduce any too water like in the sauce
add salt and pepper to taste as you go along throughout the day

and than add some rough fresh basil at the end

I always do my sugo (first time I saw it spelt succo) with sausages. You know you have a good sauce when it starts getting that lovely dark colour on the surface, around the edges....mmmmm. I am making fresh pasta tonight (either spag or tag lol, as they are the only setting I have on my mangle). With nutmeg chicken and peaches in a creamy sauce.
Off to collect Yin,
doei,

no apolgies required I thought it was maybe another spelling from a different part of Italy.

I also do meatball to flavour sauce, but sausages if I can. My Mums partner (r.i.p) was from just outside Rome. He made the best suggo I ever tasted, but he always got his hands on Italian sausages. I have tried but cannot find them anywhere in bloody Amsterdam.

My wife made us some toad in the hole the other night....tasty!

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

classic! My gf doesn't like much wet food. No gravy of any kind. It makes me sad. I have mince and dumpling cravings.

Bolognese this evening. And cat had beef and gravy haha gf is in san Fran. Cat food makes me heave but I bet warmed up with a bit of seasoning it'd be ok.

 

[DST]
