word to the wise tho, make sure u add enough water

and crush or puree the ginger and garlic

and imo the onion is not optional its a must

If I make something to freeze, do I haev to wait for it to cool before I put it in the freezer?

Probably a very dumb question

thts wot we do.

guys like faze will tell u otherwise but boy....i would wait for it to cool.

See that's what I've always done, but then I thought what's the point? Cos it's gonna get cold anyway?

[Frank.]

My mum always lets her food cool so that good enough for me.

But tbh its pretty much common sense, straight from hot to cold the food will congele up and just go shitty.

[Guest faze]

about, i wouldnt tell you any diff.... putting hot food in the freezer is not a good look.

Recently I've put red wine in with a mushroom/onion/herb mix and simmered, it hits the spot with a sirloin

Blue steak is too hardcore even for me and beef is my 3rd food group

also bought a bag of tilda basmati rice from Sainsburys, and it had some mad chemically taste when cooked

That maggot had good taste.

[zlastboss]

reduced redwine onion gravy with bangers and mash is so nice thooo

[Guest WAVESURFER]

Had fillet steak (medium), homemade chips and sauteed mushrooms tonight, and made a f*ck*ng lovely peppercorn sauce from scratch to go with it.

Crushed a clove of garlic into the pan I cooked the steaks in (after taking them out to rest), added a bit of brandy, cooked that down quickly, threw in some peppercorns (some cracked, some whole), added a bit of beef stock, and then flung in half a tub of double cream and turned the heat down, stirring constantly until it was ready.

Totally delicious, and super easy. Took no more than 5 minutes. First time I'd tried it too, I'll definitely make it a regular thing.

Wish I'd taken a picture, this was a top-notch dinner.

Sounds good, will try and replicate. Probs just do what I did, but fling in shallots first before I put the garlic in, and add the Worcestershire & mustard with the stock.

I'd probs leave the mushrooms out though, I like them on the side with my steak.

[Guest Blue State Of Mind]
