    Boiled bacon.

    This was a nice change from a lot of my regular cookery. Poaching the bacon with the aromatics gave it some lovely flavours ,left the fat in the pot as well. Saurkraut gave it a nice sharp contrast to the brown sugar in the broth. I suppose I could have had a couple of litres of Pilsner with it...

    Boiled bacon.

    I don't know how that all went on as a quote? Simple recipe, very winter food . Not that it's cold by Northern Hemisphere standards but Aussies book holidays in the tropics if the daytime temp falls below 10 c.

    Boiled bacon.

    Family point blank refuse to eat the bacon out of the freezer because it was made last year. I hate waste so I am going to do a version of a German style boiled salt pork with short cut sauerkraut . I saw Rick Stein do it on the TV recently. He was trying to do version of the pork knuckle so...

    Lamb leg at a price to good to go past

    I will bone it ,cube it ,make some stock out of the bone. I got that much worked out. Fennel & citrus in season here ,so they will become a salad in a Sicilian style. Given how many North African influences there are in Sicily I think its going to be a braise with spices & chickpeas.
