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.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
