FIFO Kitchen

Easter lunch and parentals birthday, osso buco and a basil pesto buchatini for the win

Reaching back to the past of weekend passions, really loved exploring my creativity again
- basil pesto chicken
- a grade sirloin and buttery mash
- puff pastry rollovers
-Smoked pork and honey streaks
-chorizo cheese bake

I really really missed this

Going to revive posting here a bit more.

We commence with a braai mushroom burger and a grilled cherry tomato side.

Loads of garlic and cheese

Bit of an impromptu valentines canapé thingy with meatball buchatini vibes...

I'm getting in to the swing of weekly meals properly now. This week we have a mix of Thai curry, pulled beef, smoked pork neck and a tufo fish ramen

Fight the FUPA, stage 1 initiated after the excess on the holiday. Meal prep, awakened a few memories from the past, too much fun

When omelettes don't cut it for bfast...

All cut to the same length:
Cheese griller
Bell pepper
Green beans
Onion
Tomato
Oyster mushrooms

Added to that, garlic and mixed herbs with my standard mix of soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil and a dash of rice vinegar all fried together to set up for the egg mix.

Once the egg is in lower the heat and let it cook through... Present as you prefer

Hey friends...
Pork parmesaan buchatini...

The title belies the fun making this:

- cubed pork fillet
- jullienned bell peppers and carrots
- milk, flour and parmesan for the sauce
- more parmesan than logically needed
- cooked and mashed butternut and cumin to add to the sauce.
- Origanum
- a few balancing to flavours to personal taste, salt, pepper, msg, soy sauce, sesame oil and a dash of fish sauce to liven things up

- buchatini pasta cooked al dente

Got the opportunity to cook for an injured friend, meatballs, buchatini and a rich tomato and red wine sauce

Apologies for the silence, life has thrown a few things my way...
In the absence of bread I had to come up with something.

Breakfast quesadillas (first attempt at them) , bacon, egg, Gouda and fried onions on the fill... Garlic, bacon and cheese 'shrooms 😏

Definitely worth the outing

The cooking has all but come to a temporary halt, a few life changes and the general cost of ingredients has made it near impossible to deliver the quality and still be reasonable...
I'll keep posting pics of my brief kitchen exploits in the hope that I inspire you and keep you interested in my love of the art.

Tonight is a bacon and peanut butter chicken carbonara (stax of parmesan) and stir fried edamame beans with select veg in a lemon and ACV sauce to clear that richness from your palate
