Well, yes, it’s called “Cotswold” correctly, named after a beautiful region in the southern UK where it originated from. But “Codsworth” sounds so much better for an old Fallout Fan 🙂
Roasted Cauliflower with Cheese-and-Beer-Sauce
We had a giant head of cauliflower that had to be processed before it went bad, so we made this savoury oven bake.
Good and Original Teriyaki Chicken
Anything “Teriyaki” apparently means nothing more than “glossily fried”. Thus: You don’t need any expensive store-bought sauces, special ingredients or anything! The recipe (which seems to be original, since I even asked a born and raised asian person – just to make sure), is really easy, very delicious and done in almost no-time. Try it! As far as i know it’s the original.
Steak Haché
I was about 17 years old when I was part of a school student exchange with france. With our hardly manageable and ill-fitted school-french me and my fellow classmates found ourselves being caught in a school (un “collège”) downtown in the city of Marseille (de – en – fr) – and confronted with a very special local dialect 🙂
Oven-baked Baby Back Ribs
Since a long time I finally made myself some baby back ribs in the oven again. Seasoned with my favourite dry rub, they’re ultra-tender, fall-off-the-bone and veeery delicious!
This is seriously good shit, a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. See my well-proven recipe here.
Summer Dinner with Noodles and Asparagus
Yesterday’s Spaghetti “Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino” (following my old recipe) with a side of garlicky, buttery oven roasted green asparagus. This is easy:
Smoked Char
We got two beautiful chars from our favourite fishmonger and brined (see below) them over night. Then they were “hot smoked” – a fast and delicious cooking method, but not suitable for long-term preservation.
Hot smoke for about 30++ minutes (depending on the size of your fish) at up to 90°C/195 °F and until golden on the outside. Add your favourite smoking wood after 10 minutes for a nice aroma. They’re done when you can pull out the back fin very easily and can be served for example with toasted bread, salad and horseradish. They’ll keep in the fridge for max. 2-3 days.
Pickles Taste Test
After 4½ days in the fridge I went to try the pickles I made last week. Summary: Really not bad at all, but of course improvements are possible.
Asparagus and onions are perfectly ok; Crunchy, fresh and bright. A great addition to “Brotzeit”! I won’t do it again with green onions though, they became rather mushy and even got a little brown. Absolutely edible but not very appealing.
Also, I’ll try some more sugar next time since that distilled white vinegar is very acidic and needs to be balanced out a little more.
