Weekend Menu?

[EcclesCake]

What are you all serving this weekend?

I've prepared a romesco sauce to serve with roasted chicken supremes and griddled asparagus and baby leeks, a little rocket salad on the side.

Tomorrow will be roasted belly pork with veg and pud TBD.

It's the way they're hunted Mikey.

I'm wanting red cabbage for tomorrow's cabbage. Mr cake has other ideas.

Very rare roast topside tomorrow with Jersey Royals, mange tout, PSB and garlic gravy.

[Islay]

Tonight is steak fajitas, tomorrow is brisket in ale gravy -and Monday will be bubble and squeak with either left over beef or if there is none bacon and egg

[EcclesCake]

Rare topside? Maybe it's just me but topside is not on my list of roasting joints and certainly not on my list for serving very rare.

Hope you enjoy your roast though Tilly. Hope you have some fresh horseradish on hand :-)

Gourmet bits&bobs today - cheeses (including some Rutland Red, which is new to me), meats, olives, bread & dippy things.

Probably (given that it's still midwinter outside) a hearty pot roast tomorrow - I think there's a pork shoulder in the freezer - with some nice roast veg & the statutory greencrap.

Bottle of very nice Mirror Lake now slipping down - an NZ Pinot Noir that I found languishing in a local offie's bargain bin - £5.99 for a £12.99 wine - reader, I emptied the bin ...

If I had the energy I'd cycle up to Dave's.......

Every time I answer one of these threads I'm having tuna.....I do sometimes not have tuna......

It's my in a hurry standby......with brown bread and garlic mayo......because I'm up to my eyes in feathers, beads, lace and bling working on my brother's bra....... :-)

Topside roasts brilliantly well and is delicious rare. If you can get the corner cut its even better.

Sunny Dave....no £2:99 Cotes du Rhone from Lidl that everybody is talking about ?

Get with the program please !

[mikey4444]

Woofy....I don't have beef very often but when I do, its always Silverside, pot roasted !

[-SharonA-]

Brother's bra???? No I won't ask!

[gness]

Oh for goodness sake, Mikey!....You've already had Smow running down the street for your wine.......consider Dave's age!!!...:-)

Moonwalk for Cancer bra, Sharon.......I'm so enjoying making his.... just about to attach the flashing lights......xx

[Tilly2]

Thanks for that, Woof. ;-)

We just had a corn fed free range fancy pants chicken, with stuffing, pigs in blankets, broc, carrot and swede mash, peas, roast parsnips, duck fat roast potatoes, yummy gravy, home made apple sauce, and cranberry sauce. Followed by chocolate banana trifle, sticky toffee pud, and /or fresh fruit brûlée. All washed down with red, white or pink wine and preceded with numerous cocktails, g&ts and brewdog beer of one sort or another.
Dishes done, back aching, now relaxing.

[ethandron]

Oh yes, we had spicy red cabbage too.
And tomorrow it's spag bol and whatever remains of the puds followed by a lie down in a darkened room and an early night..

EC - A tip for your belly pork: to stop the non skin edge from going leathery, cut through the skin/fat every 12 mm, bend it into a circle and fasten with a skewer or cocktail stick. Fill the resulting hole with stuffing of your preference before roasting. Mmmm - I could just eat a couple right now.

[Islay]

Only managed 2 mouthfuls of my fajhitas! feeling a bit down over it!!

[Smowball]

Sounds amazing ethandron!
