lay a slice of swiss on the dough

then a slice or 2 of sandwich ham

then a pre-cooked 4 inch unbreaded piece of chicken breast

some more cheese and ham

gently roll and crimp openings

Found Jimmys sate paste/sauce so am looking forward to using that this weekend.

Fig season and the tree is loaded so made a fig and porter cake for my birthday monring tea at work. The recipe called for milk, i subbed in my brown porter on tap. Figs chopped and mixed into the cake batter and then 15 mins into cooking added another lot of chopped figs to the top.

For the GF people I went the lazy route and stuffed figs with goats cheese and drizzled them with honey. Easier than baking them a cake and was very popular at work.

Here's the cake

Still plenty of figs (tree taller than the house) left and i do have some blue cheese in the fridge, just need some proscuitto.

Pete its awesome, sweet fruit with salty ham and stinky cheese.. One of my fav entrees to serve at a dinner party. So simple to pre do and pop in the oven for 10 minutes and looks smashing on a plate...

Or you could do it at the end of meal without the meat... with a glass of sticky!

Gumbo, a redneck meal from southern USA to celebrate the return of redneck/bogan right wing QLD.


EDIT - chicken, chorizo, smoked ham off the bone in this one so not very redneck/bogan at all.

Looks good did you put okra in it?

Its defiantly an acquire taste... I like it in binhdi karchari... you really need to fry the hell out of it to get the sap out. But I always thougth redneck gumbo had it in it.

Its not a real gumbo unless it has okra in it. And file powder too.

As i said, my version was the upmarket version with chorizo and ham off the bone. I did add zucchini and squash fresh from the vegie patch. Tasted better the day after as all slow cooked foods tend to.

I did a tagine over the weekend too... Lamb tagine with quince and honey. Forgot to take any photos but boy was it nice.

Last night I did chicken, ginger and shallot gow-ges.

I must get back into the habit of photographing dinner.

Cheers
