The spice mix is amazing and he also saved a chocolate icing I made a booboo with, hero of the kitchen yet again!! You don’t know what he had to do to get that spice mix. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your pie and raise you with a cottage pie with meat in it. A shepherds pie has lamb or hogget in it otherwise it's a vege pie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I don't appreciate meat products/dishes being appropriated by the veg worriers, find it quite annoying actually and totally agree with the French that banned names like "vegetarian sausage roll". Hence its "a combination of ... " , specifically the tagine+pie combo , because a tagine ' jamais' has mashed potato on top! semantics do matter, as you correctly point out.

Pedro Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 Oven roasted codfish and potatoes. The onions and caramelized garlic, and the good olive oil make the dish. It's a portuguese thing, I love it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 @Sofia’s meatballs and mashed potatoes with spicy garlicky baby spinach. The meatballs had my moroccan spice mix, and love, which made them delicious. It was amazing, and I’m typing this with a happy belly as I finish the second portion. The red wine is a Castelares Reserva, which is currently my favourite red wine, bought for special occasions 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooN Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I didn't get any pics of our Christmas day feed but My Sister dis us proud. We we're expecting a cold buffet and we'd brought cheese ( French , smelly) and wine ( White, St Bris, sauvignon and Red, St Bris, Cesar) but she surprised us with a massive tradional Christmas dinner. Ham in place of turkey but otherwise the full monty, sprouts, stuffing balls, bread sauce, pigs in blankets etc etc etc. I hadn't had a "Proper" Christmas dinner in 20 years so Best Christmas Present Ever! This was our new years trough, just the 4 of us ( No1 being still in Liverpool) we'd visited Bicester Village luxury designer outlet hell-hole on the 28th cos the twins wanted Vivienne Westwood Jewlery, which they got. On arriving home on the 29th we learned of Westwood's death. the twins wanted to do a Vivienne Westwood themed table : Then came the food. The "entrée" ( which I skipped and just had another drink) forgetting to take a pic till after the battle... A dozen "Escargots de Bourgone aux beurre d'ail" ( Snails in garlic butter sauce). Followed by Honey braised beef in a cider sauce with Gratin Dauphinoise, All washed down with a nice bottle of Chablis. Yule log from the local patisserie to finish but I was too pissed and busy eating to take a pic 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a fan of snails the way they cook them here or in Morocco, which is to boil them in a heavily seasoned water using herbs for flavour. I was surprised that the french way is great, but still I would prefer all that delicious garlic butter to be on a toast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
