    First time trying lamb

    Breast is a very fatty cut & the fat carries a lot of the flavour. Here it often gets broken up into bits & char grilled so the fat renders out of it. If your lamb was originally our lamb(Aussie or NZ) then our bigger breeds do have a fair bit of fat. If you get a leg ,butterfly it ,rub it...

    s://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbpyfYGA-nw Obviously you have your own TV  cooking shows in the U.S This guy has a lot of cred here as a result of his field trips to South East Asia,restaurants ,cookbooks etc. He is showing the Hanoi style here, bit cleaner & leaner no garlic. Breakfast dish .

    Beef Short Rib Pho Noodle Soup

    Lot of Pho here in Sydney,big Vietnamese community. Lot of discussion about where to find the best versions. There is also a bit of a north v south difference .Who knew? I order the " special" with bits of tripe,tendon & meat ball . I think it's always worthwhile to attempt a version of a...

    Brisket vindaloo

    Thanks very much. I think that from that recipe you could do a pork shoulder, or a few other things. I do like that Southern Indian & Sri Lankan food ,tamarind,curry leaf,coconut more than the ghee,yoghurt based style.Just me of course .

    Brisket vindaloo

    I find if you can get a recipe thats genuinely regional or a restaurant that just does one regions food well its a better deal. I love those pancake style things called dosa or the Sri Lankan "hoppers" . If its butter chicken,lamb korma, chicken Madras I am not interested its just generic &...

    Brisket vindaloo

    Thanks ,I like finding ways to adapt the ingredients to a new method. I like tamarind as a flavour & it turns up in Asian & Indian cooking a lot. I will do lamb variant next. I think it's like a lot of food it gets dumbed down & compromised. You get a vindaloo & it's not even close to its...

    Brisket vindaloo

    This was a good meal but they could have gone another hour. The rub was spot on,hot but not stupid. Another cut might have been a better fit for the time I had. These were really a veal rib. A proper vindaloo is a distinct taste,its got to have that tamarind sour flavour & the sharpness of the...

    Brisket vindaloo

    Gone into MES  now. Certainly smell good.Plan is 3 hours at 100c ,over apple pellets. True vindaloo is adapted from the Portuguese carne de vine d'alhos. Its true home is Goa in Southern India. This by the book except I had to sub chilli flakes for chilli powder.

    Brisket vindaloo

    I haven't done much thats new or inside the ropes forum wise. Family unit don't like big lumps of meat that much & summer here so food has to be a bit lighter. I see that Simmonds kid is tearing it up for LSU,hell of a player. I still check in here I just need to find new stuff to do.
