Fig season is here so this morning i went out to the tree, picked a few and caramelised them in butter with a sprinkle of sugar.

Served in pancakes with a drizzle of honey. :icon_drool2:

No pics as i wolfed them down in no time.

Picked several buckets of plums last night for jam and sauce (and eating).

Definitely my favourite time of the year when the summer fruits are in plentiful supply.
 
Today's lunch, fresh mudcrab with dill mayo on a roll straight from the oven, washed down with a pint of house mid, chock full of saaz. Hard to handle........

Hmmm you may be able to smell my tea if you push your nose close enough to the screen.
Nearly all ingredients home grown/raised


Pork raised on milk washings, colostrum and veg scraps
Roast Potatoes, Kifler
Roast Carrots
Roast Sweet potato (import)
Roast Pumpkin (import)
Peas
Corn
Cauli

Desert will be strawbs and raspberries with cream (import)
How grown pork takes some beating, bit like home grown tomatoes, you realise what crap we are sold at supermarkets.

I'm going to get a smoker by the time next run of pigs is done so I can do my own hocks, ham, and bacon.
My cardiologist will shout me the smoker I'm sure.
Cheers
Chris

If you have a reliable recipe I'd be very keen to see it, I love making my curry pastes myself.

There is something so therapeutic about pounding ingredients in a mortar with a pestle. Maybe it is just me who imagines the face of a previous boss being bludgeoned with the pestle :blink: :lol:
 
I've made a few good satay/sate sauces but like a lot of my beers, it's often not repeated often enough for me to take notes.

From memory - generally roasted peanuts (blended), coconut cream, ginger, maybe some soy (ketsap manis even better) and probably some garlic and chilli* but what I will do is make one some time late next week and post here. Like all recipes, it will be able to be tweaked to taste. Generally I research and tweak myself (including beer).

*Unnecessary - love chilli though.

I've ground many a person into a good red curry paste.
 
Garlic, chilli, coconut milk, sesame oil, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice... blitz. = satay peanut sauce!!

Sorry, no exact amounts, it's just a glug of this, a bit of that, and so on...
 
Pfftf... peanuts in a peanut sauce? That's crazy talk.

Yeh, sorry, there's dry roasted peanuts in there too. If I had to guess amounts, I'd say...

handful of peanuts
1-2 cloves garlic
1 chilli (my kids don't like it too spicy)
1/2 tin coconut milk
splash of fish sauce
1-2 tbsp brown sugar
juice from a lime
splash of soy sauce
 
Looks gold.

Coles sells sate sauce?!? Katie, I've never been ashamed of you before but I am now.

Mightily.
 
Its not normal SATAY sauce its SATE sauce it was made early 70's in hong kong... my mother introduced it to me a long long time ago... You only use a teaspoon or 3.... its made of soy beans... (so its part of my receipe) Airgeard and Fourstar use it also....


of cause I can make my own satay sauce...

Honey Ginger Chicken

honey from my friends bees... awesome.

Not the best photo but first time I cut a chicken up chinese style... This was a hit with my daughter... not to sweet and nicely balanced with the ginger.

Yep. That's good stuff the ol Jimmy's.. Always like to have a jar of it kicking around for a quick stir fry. Not at all like satay sauce (despite the similarity in spelling).

Cheers

I see. I thought it was a variation on the spelling. Apologies for the aspersions you lot.

On my table is a slice of humble pie.
