Okay, quick straw poll. How do you cook your omelettes? Browned or unblemished?

Unblemished.

[Neg]

the missus did the same on Sunday. Nothing "Relations" is/are better than gluwein in front of the fireplace when a cold front hits.

 

fixed...

Hahahaha! Awesome thanks! I was thinking I should harvest some in Delta park...

When you get that guinneafowl, here is an awesome recipe!

 

Throw the following in a three leg potjie on the fire:

 

2x Chopped tomatoes

1x Celery stick - chopped

1x Med onion - chopped

2tsps lemon juice

1tsp salt

1tsp black pepper

2l chicken stock

 

Brown all the ingredients and then add the stock and the Guinneafowl.

 

Place a large rock on top of the guinnea fowl to make sure it remains submerged in the stock.

Boil for three hours.

 

After three hours, throw the guinnea fowl away and eat the rock, the rock will be more tender than the guinnea fowl.

The secret is to make sure you have a young bird. You can tell by looking at the colouring of the head. The less purple it is and the smaller the helmet, the better. Another way to check is to pick the bird up by the tip of its' beak. It should bend just a little bit, indicating a young bird. Those will be tender. The old ones will be tougher than that rock. Slow casserole type cooking works wonders for guinnea fowl. Red wine helps too. I like them with Maroccan type spices. The tough old birds work better in a pie with half chicken added for the fat content, otherwise your pie tends to be tough and dry.

Talking about mayo, any of you have a recipe for some creamy mayo?

 

20 ml white wine vinegar

A little ground black pepper

2 teaspoon of english mustard

1 teaspoon of sugar

Half a teaspoon of Salt

 

Mix for a few seconds with an electric whisk.

Then add 2 egg yolk and whisk again until it starts to thicken slightly (leaves lines in the mixture)

Gradually add oil while mixing until you hit the consistency you want.

If it starts to split just add a teaspoon or two of boiling water and it should sort itself out.

 

Takes about a minute, tastes better than Hellman's and costs about a tenth.

I thought it was a feather in his cap.

Seems I am in the minority when it comes to omelettes!

But at least you have good taste

I check Masterchef is back on. I wish they would have got new judges.

The more I read this forum the more I notice how much interests cyclists have in common.

 

Keep up the good work guys

I have an entry level ice cream machine which I use every weekend to make a bout a litre ice cream. Mostly choc or coffee but have started playing around with adding orange or peppermint liqueur. I'm quite sure it can make sorbet, don't have the little book anymore so can't check for you ...

 

Worthwhile gadget though !
