What are you been cooking today

Garlic lover here Uni

[Cornish Cream]

Lovely day here in Sydney!  I've been trying to use up some of this excess of fruit and veg that I have here!

So far:
Stewed pears for the freezer (go well in cakes)
Grapefruit cordial
Almond and Carrot cake
Vegetable stock

I still need to make a roasted capsicum sauce and then get started on dinner!  And make a BBQ sauce if I don't run out of time.

I've still got lots of grapefruit left so if you know of any good recipes then I'm listening.  Found one for monitor chicken that I might try out this week.

Snappy whilst looking for a recipe to use some prawns that I found in the freezer I found this recipe that includes grapefruit

Beetroot dip
Au gratin potatoes with Salmon
White chocolate dipped strawberries
Stewed apple and rhubarb

Well I did my first ever pot roast. I don't eat meat myself but cook every sunday fr the kids and grandkids and  have just received a bulk order of 30kg of grass fed beef so have to learn how to cook the bits and bobs. I believe it was a success today as the family Sunday lunch.   It was a topside and I ignorantly though I'd just whack it in the pan and hey presto great roast.  But after a quick google realized that this piece of meat is best browned and then slow cooked in liquid as a pot roast     plan B was to give it a finish up in the P C if necessary but all was good.

For Uni. 

I need garlic badly but I can only buy it from Argentina or China at the moment and the Argentinian is horrid and I won't buy Chinese as I worry what fertiliser they use.

I was told by my green grocer that Australian garlic should be available soon.

[Mama Fergie]

I bought Australian garlic today in IGA

[achookwoman]

Yes,  Aussie garlic soon.   The Chinese garlic is bleached in stuff like White King.  We put garlic in lots of  dishes as we can grow it here.

I have just made a marinade based on the KFC spice mix with garlic and lemon juice.  Will be cooking with it today and will post if OK.

I used my last garlic & my garlic paste yesterday so no garlic here. I was given 17 bulbs from a friend & they were great.

Will wait until after w/e, might find some in MR.

i wonder if garlic is hard to grow, is anyone growing it ?

[Amy :-)]

I've heard that its pretty easy to grow Uni. Its hardy stuff

[fundj&e]

mr google said its very easy, i just need to buy an Aussie garlic and then just plant the cloves 

[Amy :-)]

Yep, that sounds about right to me

[Mama Fergie]

Would love to give it a go. Do you think it would grow in my 1.5 by 1.5 metre herb garden?
