gwyddnoMiriam has been nagging me to make more use of LJ as a place to store recipes, cooking adventures and the like. In the interests of nag avoidance, I have concurred. I start with today.
Lunch was simple enough: smoked mackerel fillets with grated carrot, chopped spring onions and fresh rocket from the garden with a dressing of black truffle oil and blackcurrant balsamic vinegar.
Supper was the last of the pork steaks and ribs fried in butter and oil. The sauce (Cheri Ackey, Terry's wife, tonight) started with the leftover grated carrot, finely chopped onion and garlic fried gently. Add honey, soy, cheap cream sherry, five-spice, and a little blackcurrant vinegar.
I think the Cherry Ackey was a huge improvement on the Terry Ackey, and I think the garlic was the deciding factor.
