**** Dare to Share? **** The cooking thread....

[laughing_bear]

Hi,

I thought it might be an idea to start a thread with one purpose only, talk about food and drink, and share your great grandmothers secret "pasta dishes".

It all started here.... http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/ ... sc&start=0

I would suggest we keep it in this thread here and have it develop into the biggest ever, the one and only, Ladies and Gentlemen, ....THE INTERNATIONAL IRISH ACTS RECIPE EXCHANGE THREAD....

HEAT LARD IN DUTCH OVEN....SERVE UP WITH TOKAJI AND ENJOY.

What means "heat Lard in dutch oven"?

I love that part..."serve with Tokaji...."

I think if you type with out caps lock and rather make paragraphs where you see fit... it is easier on the eye....

I am not much of a chef but here goes ...

When I need to start a weekend with a kick I like to make the following unnamed but highly effective wake-up concoction.

1) Shall fry (in olive oil) a mixture of whatever veg you have to hand ... for example courgettes, spinach, peppers, spring onions

2) beat 4 or 5 eggs and add a little milk to them

3) add the beaten eggs, a little curry power and paprika, and the veg into a non-stick pan and heat/stir 'til cooked.

Serve with toast & ginger marmalade and a stout pot of tea.



Daz.

How about Breakfast eh?

This is a recipe from an old book (Cooking with a jug of wine, forgot author) that has been out of print for many, many years. Anyway our family has been using this recipe for Sunday morning breakfast for over 30 years.

Ingredients:

1/2 shot of sherry (not cooking sherry mind you) per egg.
1 tablespoon low salt butter per egg
1 slice of toast per egg (your favorite lighter bread types.. could be white or a light oat.. but not a bread with heavy flavor).
Shredded Parmesan cheese
Eggs (As many you need)

Melt butter in sauce pan.. and brown it slightly, then add sherry (might stand back as this will steam up on initial shot). Add eggs, then cook medium heat till whites are .. well white (with yoke still runny) all open face style. Sprinkle liberally the parmesan over the eggs, then place saucepan into preheated broiler to melt cheese. Once cheese melted serve each egg on toast. You can vary the time under broiler a bit to adjust how runny you like your yokes, just watch carefully as it can burn quickly. Fresh ground pepper on top is a nice add as well to taste.

A good side to this is sage flavored sausage. Along with your favorite breakfast beverage of coffee, tea, orange juice, etc..

Takes only about 20 minutes from start to finish tops too Daz.. So a quick and tasty breakfast to impress a significant other with champange on a special occasion works too. Eg .. the morning after <grins>

Just make sure the venison sausage is not too spicy.. this a lighter flavor meal.. and too strong of a flavor (or smell) of sausage might overpower the sherry/cheese flavor of the dish. Nonthless, great idea Bear.
