Now We're Cooking...

I use it as a pizza sauce, add small amount of tomato puree to it and its perfect if you like hot food. Same applies to pasta sauces

As above, pizza toast and a slow roasted Lamb Shoulder my main uses.

Cheers Lads.  Will give those ideas a go. 

Any other 'out of the ordinary' sauce/marinade type things that you'd recommend?

tagine

That's a clay pot of sorts, no?

[Dubai]

Yeah but its also the dish thats cooked inside them which is basically just a stew.

I might make a Moroccan Lamb Stew but not in a tagine pot tonight, so wont call it a tagine

[Laxie]

Never made it before, so that'll have to be added to next week's grocery list.  Do you put dried fruits into yours or just stick to the spices, meat & veg?

Tonight we're mainly going with beef & chorizo stuffed peppers.  Simple but yummy.

I dont have any dried fruits so technically its not a tagine, especially given its gonna be cooked in a casserole dish. Basically just a lamb stew with Moroccan flavours, so ras el hanout etc, probably will put wine in it as well which i dont think traditional Moroccan dishes use

[Laxie]

   A proper Moroccan rogue.

Well if you open a bottle of wine and put small amount say 100mls into a dish, then you have to drink the rest of the bottle as it will never taste the same the next day otherwise. Also if you are making a heavy wine based dish, always buy two bottles "just in case", that way you can literally pour a drop from the second bottle just to stop it drying out, before obviously needing to finish the bottle to stop it being wasted

Tried the same argument when was making Whiskey Bread and Butter pudding and smallest bottle of whiskey we could buy was 350ml, dish needed 25mls

[Cf]

I use the old using wine in a dish so I have to finish the bottle excuse quite often too

[Laxie]

I used to enjoy it too, but was gaining weight at a fierce rate and figured the large quantities of wine were playing a part in that.

Still have brandy and whiskey in the house, but they're really only used for cooking...and guests.

This thread makes me hungry

Got home from work to find oven broken.  Clock won't reset, no clock, no oven. Sigh!

Guess I am going to need stew based solutions until repair arrives.

A sad day in Nakor towers.
