Bangers & Mash

I woke up this morning and was craving an The Ginger Pig traditional sausage. Luckily I was heading there today and scored some sangers for my dinner. The sangers are ginormous, with one being plenty if I were not to be a porker myself.

Absolutely top notch as always, and was accompanied by crispy caramalised onions and some sour cream and garlic mash.

It's not BBQ!

Nope, sir-ree!

Despite common misconceptions this is grilling. It doesnt make it any less delicious, and proves that I am at my happiest when playing with meat and fire. (See last photo). J1 also did a superb job on the steaks, and got his first stripe on his "man-wings"

What are your thoughts on the great is it BBQ debate?

Sometimes y'all just need a reminder how good our Brisket is.

A texas stye rub makes this all about front-foot flavour with big beefiness thrown in for good measure.

Be honest....Gammon with a fried egg is?...for me a must

Not everything has to be smoked for 12hrs, but with Gammon it certainly helps!

Proper classic midweek meal fit for a king! Smoked Gammon panfried in butter in the griddle, boiled potatoes and bright greens on a lake of parsley sauce so big it needed its own lifeguard!

Pie? Apparently not!!

Slide 1 - Dinner took a turn tonight....

Slide 2 - Then the kids announced - despite loving it in the past - "don't like pie and mash"

Like if you LOVE PIE & MASH - I mean who doesn't!

Slide 3 - so we changed it up and pie filling became....

Slide 4 - a silky bowl of Alfredo-ish Turkey, Ham & sweetcorn with Penne!

Slide 5 - and honestly, bowls of yum come out of necessity!

Chicken & Tomatoes

Such a heavenly combination, that gives us the comfort of a big hug in this miserable weather, but also reminds us that warmer days are nearly here.

This is one of our many catering dishes that hit the mark when cooking for a crowd that needs feeding something tasty and delicious. Browned chicken legs, with a sprinkling of roasted fennel seeds, are roasted on a bed of onions, jammy tomatoes and oregano. Served with toothsome rice and clean cut broccoli.

Butter Chicken & Saag Paaneer

Mid Winter was given some warmth with a Saturday night fakeaway, and the results were so much better, even in an Indian Hot Spot like Tooting.

Marinating chicken thigh pieces in spices, yoghurt and Lemon juice helped to tenderise and get flavours deep set, before chargrilling on our plancha to help give everything a smokey flavour. A spicy tomato based sauce welcomed the charred chicken to simmer away until a delightful rendolent sauce formed with a small addition of butter.

A creamy saag paneer cut the richness of the butter chicken with some lovely pilau rice.

Top Tip: get yourself down to your local curry house and just get a couple of Naan's - supermarket or home made ones just cant do what the can do with a proper tandoor - your oven doesnt get hot enough - pop in the oven on a low temp till ready to eat.

Gullah Geechee Beef Pot Roast.

A dish rooted in the coastal South — slow-cooked with respect, built from scratch, and plated with care.

The Gullah Geechee people shaped a cuisine that carries memory, resilience, and deep flavour. This pot roast is our way of honouring that tradition here in London.

White Beans & Pork Chops

Post Christmas feasting doesnt really stop as we move into Carnival Season......more on which tomorrow.......

But we kept things fairly humble and straight forward with seasoned pork chops served on a bed of slow white beans and broccoli with a ring of messy greens and a mound of mushrooms.
