My favourite soup

Ready cubed pumpkin or pumpkin/sweet potato combo.

Stock

Garlic

Ginger

Turmeric

Tomatoes-tinned/fresh


So easy. Fry veg and garlic for a short time. Add ginger and stock and bring to the boil and simmer. Add turmeric.

It's ready to blend when the cubes are soft. Skin fresh tomatoes if using or add red/orange pepper instead to get a tangy taste. It's so versatile. I even added a tomato and chilli pasta sauce once, for want of a tin of tomatoes!

Just made beef broth. Serves 4 very hungry people.


Ingredients:

450-500g stewing steak, diced

5 peppercorns

Bay leaf

1.5 litres water

200g pearl barley

2 sticks celery

2 carrots

1 parsnip

2 potatoes

Salt, pepper, tabasco, Worcester sauce


Total cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins


Method:

1. Put first 4 ingredients in a big pan and bring to the boil. Skim. Reduce to simmer. Timing starts from here.

2. At same time, wash barley, cover with cold water, bring to boil, simmer 5 mins. Drain, rinse under running water and add to big pan. (Barley needs about 1 hr 15 mins in total.)

3. Dice veg and add to pan about 30 mins before end of cooking time.

4. Season at end.


Next time I'd add half to a whole leek and maybe a bit of kale or Savoy cabbage for green. If I had a bigger saucepan I might also add another half litre of water and a stock cube.

Hey folks. I've just landed a five rib prime beef cut (which, contrary to the thread title, wasn't at all cheap - sorry) and at about 7 kilos it's twice the size I initially planned. This'll be a Christmas main course and I want to get it right. Most of the online guides involve smaller cuts, and this one is large and pricey so I definitely need to avoid screwing up! Any tips on searing, sealing and cooking times for a rare or medium rare serving much appreciated. And any advice on prepping the meat also more than welcome. It's already hung for 30 days and I won't be freezing it as Wednesday is near.

Buy yourself a digital meat thermometer. It?s a no brainier then to get it exactly how you want it. Has the butcher cut the chime bone?

Sit the beef on the flat bone base (if it?s been cut the chine bone will be in half lengthwise). Personally I use a little oil and butter blend and paint the beef with that. Rub generously in some sea salt all over, and you can add an English or Dijon mustard coating too, again all over. But keep it simple is best I find.

This link is pretty comprehensive on cook time and heat.

Cooking times and temperatures may vary with method of preparation, size and shape of the Beef and your desired degree of doneness. Test for doneness using a meat thermometer or instant-read thermometer.

* Insert thermometer through side of cut, tip in the center, not touching bone or fat.

* Remove from heat when thermometer registers from about 5-10?F lower than desired doneness.(the ribs hold a lot of residual heat here, which radiates into the meat)

* Rest your roast. Temperature will continue to rise while resting.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
