Coincidentally I'm having lamb too.
Another helping of grilled chops with steamed pak choi and spinach.
Simply cooked and simply eaten. NOM.

Inspired by hh gamely listing the contents of his fridge on another thread, what do members habitually see when, bleary-eyed in the morning perhaps, they open their fridge door to survey the day's nomming possibilities?
In Green Gables, it's:
beer
tonic water
juice
milk
cousin Dave's world-beating spicy chutney
vegetables, many of which having outstayed their welcome
cheese, always - usually manchego, cheddar and the ubiquitous lump of past-its-best parmesan
funny stocks in tupperware I'll probably never use
leftovers dating back up to three days which I almost never use, despite good intentions
that inevitable tube of tomato puree which you only need once in a blue moon and was purchased in 1997

My fridge contains tonic water (though I really should go back to buying those little tins - makes much more sense), milk, orange juice, spinach, pak choi, peppers, aubergine (one), bones from lamb chops (four), horseradish sauce, goat's cheese, cheddar, parmesan, butter (unsalted) and a big bottle of lemonade (flat).
I wish it contained more but I ate it.
Oh yes, and tomatoes, a lettuce and some horseradish roots that I probably should throw away since I've quite spectacularly failed to do anything with them... Tonight I'm having sandwiches. My haggis lunch today was a last-minute decision and I had brought a packed lunch. So I'm eating it now. Not terribly exciting I'm afraid... |

Inspired by hh gamely listing the contents of his fridge on another thread,
I though he said he'd eaten his fridge. But I've just had a stroke so my English isn't very good. I just picked up V2 from her friend's house and for some reason (must be those warning lights) my vehicle was drawn inexorably towards... oh NOOOOO!!!! The East London Sausage Company! As if in a daze I found myself entering and purchasing chorizo, merguez, pork/coriander and WILD BOAR. If anyone for their sins in a past life ever finds themselves relegated to E17, this is one of its saving graces. |

My little fridge is in the middle of a few different trajectories at the moment. It's not that long since I got back from Australia having cleaned it out before leaving and for much of the time since my return my better half was also in residence. Which resulted in an increase in acquisition rate but also in rates of consumption. As well as a skewing of the types of food acquired and consumed of course.
Be that as it may, herewith the unexpurgated list:
bottle Chopin vodka (nearly full)
2x500mL bottles Gaffel Kölsch
jar capers
jar dulce de leche
bulb garlic (I didn't put it in there, it must have been her)
parsley (ditto)
jar Mum's apricot chutney
tin Lavazza decaf (horrible but I can't just throw it away and if did come in handy for breaking in a new Brikka)
tin actual coffee
jar dried tomatoes
butter (really a bit old but again I can't just throw food away if it's actually consumable)
a carrot
jar pesto
jar mustard (Maille Dijon, nearly full)
another jar mustard (Maille Mittelscharf (they didn't have Dijon when I bought it), nearly empty (empty enough for me to have opened the jar of the real stuff, not empty enough for me to look at and say 'yep, that's empty'))
jar chilli and lime chutney
jar blackcurrant jam
bottle limoncello
bottle mirto
carton soymilk
remnants of cheese (Gruyčre, Roquefort, Brie)
Any of you culinary geniuses can come up with a recipe?

No sooner said than done. In a medium bowl, whisk together a jar of apricot chutney, Dijon mustard or German mustard or both, 1/4 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Whisk in almost a whole bottle of vodka.
Slowly whisk in a jar of dulce de leche and ground coffee (decaf or actual or both) until thick. Set aside.
In a Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat.
Add garlic, capers and soymilk and sauté until tender.
Stir in blackcurrant jam and pesto and scrape any browned bits from bottom of pan.
Stir in dried tomatoes and chilli and lime chutney and bring to a simmer.
Cover and cook under low heat until tomatoes have softened.
Meanwhile heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet. Add carrot and brown lightly.
Add one litre of light beer and bring to a boil.
Cook until liquid has evaporated.
Combine the beery carrot with the awful sludge in the Dutch oven. Pour the other revolting mixture over the top.
Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley. |

Any chance you could send over the duck fat? There's a new recipe I'm trying out...

Yes but I need something to nibble on while I'm waiting for all this beer to evaporate.

bottle limoncello
Either you splash this all over (your body, not the dish - the best use for the stuff I reckon), or you consume it in one go prior to eating, Ollie. I hate loose ends. |
