Rabbit Pie ! And, for the purists, made with shortcrust pastry, NOT puff pastry ! ? ! Cheers.

Family get together at ours, so a bit of a spread.. 13 hour cooked brisket, slow cooked pork shoulder.. Home made coleslaw, stuffing, roasties... and a 2 day hangover! Lol

Treat off my dad tonight, he's a friend on the fresh fish stall up town... Scallops and lemon sole fillets...

Arry ,did you recommend a book ,website for mushroom identification? If so what was it ? 

Right Walt  This site I find very useful especially like the ID videos on most of the mushrooms.

www.wildfooduk.com

WWW.WILDFOODUK.COM

Edible and poisonous wild mushroom identification guide. When to pick, what to look for. Photos, video, safety tips for each mushroom.

The book is good as well.

The River Cottage book is a good book as well.

This larger book who somebody recommended of here covers a lot more with good pictures.

always considered couscous to be a bit of a nancy boy dish....but if you get the broth/gravy  right it is supreme..im slowly thinking it is nicer that rice in certain situations.........imgoing to do spanish style chicken thighs in couscous next week..

Get yourself a tagine. I promise once you figure out the ins and outs you’ll wonder how you did without one. I also suggest buying “ras el hanout” spice mix (basically North African version of a garam masala) Google Moroccan tagine recipes and crack on. Couscous will never taste better ;)

I love how they self seal with the juices. I use mine as you should but also as a type of a tandoor (tip, once you’ve got whatever meat in, run a drip of really thick instant gravy around the rim, put the lid on and the gravy will create the seal). Stand the skewers upright into the funnel bit though or put a wire rack/balls of foil to raise the meat from direct contact with the ceramic ;) Ruined some damn good lamb before I learn that lesson :laugh:

Moroccan lamb cutlets with peas etc couscous is buried underneath.7C4CF4F7-7B9D-436A-AA79-A00080B230B5.jpeg.86bd8a6a086905fefbe8837bf6193335.jpeg

Tandoori chicken with the masala added when the chicken was about half done. Look at all that beautiful Ghee floating in the top, perfect for a nann dip :laugh: B622A67C-046D-47AE-B0AB-CC20A3B47242.jpeg.8a3c573c63862c269ae598021ddf6975.jpeg
