Pork fillet surely?

1 Like

It’s Nagi’s mustard sauce and I did with the pork fillet as per comment below. It’s so simple and looks pretty so it’s easy to put together if you’re having people over and don’t have a lot of time to be fancy.

The platter unfortunately has no handles, so there was a lot of sliding around going on before you could pick it up. Hahaha.

Lay the platter on a large tea towel or scarf before you set it, easy to pick up

Good idea! Thanks :slight_smile:

My Better Half’s Lockdown Sunday Vege Roast, Eggplant Parma and Roast Vegies, when Woolies lucked out on the onions and we have to make 3 onions last 2 weeks(Christ had it easy with mere loaves and fishes).

PS Take a closer look and you’ll note there’s gravy on the roast vegies. My BH was disgusted and pointed out only a culinary ingrate has two sauces for one meal and scoffed when I said I fit the bill, and still whipped up gravy for one. What a woman!

PPS The cheese topping is the powdered shitte from Woolies, and frankly it’s not bad, but I am a culinary ingrate as my BF pointed out.

What’s the powdered cheese supposed to be?

The fine Parmesan maybe?

No pics but we had a pile of mussels with fresh sourdough to mop up.

The mussels were plump, which they sometimes aren’t - this is a good time of year in my experience.

Also worth noting is Rick Stein’s advice: throw away the mussels that won’t close when you are debearding them, not the ones that don’t open when you cook them (they are fine and it’s a waste).

I didn’t that do the creamy mariniere sauce - just oil/butter, a red onion, a little salami mixed up, a shake of chilli, lots of garlic, huge amount of parsley - some cooked in the sauce and some sprinkled over fresh. Superb and inexpensive.

They claim it’s parmesan but who knows it could be chalk dust. Used it to make a cheese sauce a few days ago and it worked out alright. Chalk dust could be the go.

Woolies and Aldi both have pretty cheap grana padano. Poor mans parmesan but better than that dust stuff!

Yes, but no Aldi inside 5 ks and I think the Woolies padano has rennet, which is a no no for me. Could be wrong.

MOLTO BENE :eggplant::tomato:

Yep both have rennet… my daughter won’t eat. Lots of tasty cheddar is no rennet though…

Pecorino ftw

For cheese toppings the Perfect Pizza cheese works really well.

Yep, sheep cheese…love it.
Very sharp, so you tend to use less.

Also, A2…therefore far more digestible for most people.

I stocked up yesterday. The best.

Grana Padano is awesome on cheese platters and at wine tastings.

Didn’t realise that, now I can claim the health angle too.
