Mark (smokey mow) Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 In a effort to return some of the Boardroom's lost MOJO a build thread with a difference...... Tonights dinner :d :d My sister gave me the Jamie's Great Britain cook book for chirstmas, I guess it was a hint at the amount of TV dinners and frozen meals I normally eat, so tonight I thought I'd give it a go and try one of the recipes. Tonight I am atempting "Leigh on Sea Sole" it looks great in the pictures so what the hell. Sadly I was let down by the fishmonger so "Leigh on Sea Sole" will tonight be Place First of the place was pan fried for 4-minutes on one side.... All looking good so far It was then flipped and I added the bacon and rosemary which I'd prepared earlier, together with some Whelks (I couldn't get clams) and Tiger prawns (err yes I failed to get shrimps too) By this point I'm suprised it actually looks something like the pictures so, covered and another 4-minutes cooking of the other side. Some seasoning, squeezed lemon and chopped chives to finish and et voila, fini Served with some spuds and it tasted excellent now for the washing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KugaWestie Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I am intrigued by the little circuit board to the left of the pan in the first photo, was this a magic ingredient? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wire speed controller from a mig welder I've been trying to fix for the last 6 months It's a bit redundant now since I've bought a new one Like several other things in my kitchen it'll make it back to the garage eventually I'm not sure the aerosol of lighter fluid sat next to it is in the best place either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark (smokey mow) Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Bouyed by my previous culinary sucess I thought I'd have another go and being adventerous opted for a variation on Highland Mussels. I say a variation, because in true fashion I couldn't get smoked haddock from the local market so I'm substituting with pan fried cod. First off the leeks were sliced. The recipe called for large leeks but I only had small ones growing in the garden, so they'll just have to do They then went into a hot pan with some olive oil and butter In the other pan went the cod which I dusted in flour and soft butter. After 10 minutes 3-shots of whisky were added to the leaks, in the absence of any good Scotch, I found an old bottle of Famous Grouse in the back of the drinks cupboard. Those of a sensative nature look away now, as I'm about to set fire to the alcohol in the Whisky Next into the pan when the mussels, followed by some double cream A few minutes in a covered pan, not forgetting to also check and flip the fish on the other hotplate Then served with some lemon and chopped leaves.
