Dinner thread?

[Dundee]

We give duck and trout away and sell mutton more than what the poor sheep farmers get

Waste of time giving @Dundee any vegetables tho 😂

So went to the butcher to grab something for dinner (and was hoping he had a pile of ox tail.....) and spotted some what I first thought were pork ribs for a stupid low price. They turned out to be pork bones, but looked meaty (already wrapped up), so I thought why not, they may be OK for a snack.
Well dam. They had more meat on them than alot of ribs.
So cooked them with a dry rub concoction. Tasted rather good....

Bacon bones are Mean! Can be pretty salty though

Right, so super market -

Not bacon bones, pork bones. And funny you mention salt, as I actually under did it in the rub and had to add a bit.....

Blue cod and gurnard with chips.
The usual seasonal seasoning on the fillets but used coconut flour to coat them and coconut oil to cook them in.

Not sold on the flour for this application it doesnt brown and crisp up...the oil has merit tho.

Coconut oil is amazing, heaps of uses for it

Cracker day for some goating today. Got 5, spooked a bunch more. (They'll keep).



Turned into a big pile of legs, and 1.8kg of backstraps for jerky.

Turned the 1.8kg of backstraps into 500g of jerky.

Short version is the process worked, but my marinade recipe sucks. It was my first attempt, and I'll certainly be making some changes next time.

I was too conservative on the flavours (chilli, garlic, pepper etc), so it mostly just tastes of soy and worcherstershire, which made up the bulk of the marinade. Soaked it for 48hrs. Loaded up the trays of the dehydrator, turned it on and it died about a minute later. FFS. Unloaded the meat onto all Wifey's baking cooling racks, then into the oven on fan bake on the lowest possible temp (felt like 60-80c) for about 14hrs.

It's certainly edible, but not fantastic.

Has anyone got any ripper jerky recipes they want to share? I am thinking of making several different types at once next time, to speed up the trial and error, rather then ending up with one big batch of average jerky.

Roll is Braai mix after marinade, before drying, perhaps?

Having to eat hotel/meals out for the coming week, so a roast lamb leg for dinner here.
Here's a pic of my 2 year-olds plate, and there was not alot left afterwards..... broccoli was first to go, then the carrots, roast onion,then lamb.... a true eating machine.
