Kabobs and stews aren’t too hard. But I’ve always been shit at cooking rice like a Persian and making tadig (this delicious crispy rice). I think I did okay last night though I'm not sure how I feel about the plates mate. Not gonna lie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy Posted February 13, 2020 Author Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2020 I made this today, because I was curious after seeing the video. It was okay. Still prefer a proper Goulash though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe, I'm looking forward to it! What would you say must be "in it" though? I saw recipes with mushrooms, others without mushrooms, some put carrot or peas in it. I just know about the minced meat and the potatoes. The rest seems kinda optional. But I want to do it as authentic as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I want to do it as authentic as possible. I'd do ground lamb or beef, grated carrot, grated onion, peas, rosemary + thyme, garlic & then potatoes for the mash. I'd probably bung some parmesan cheese into my mash because that's the secret to all good mashed potatoes (but that's probably not the most authentic way). Maybe try it with mushrooms one time & mushrooms without to see which one you'd like better... because I genuinely have no clue whether mushrooms would make it more authentic or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds exactly how I planned it, thanks. I'm just going to ignore the mushrooms because I can't stand them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I eat them when there's a lot of other stuff like sauce or spices around it, but I'm still not a fan of the texture. It's rubber-ish.

Won't even notice the texture but it'll add a lot of flavour to the meal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds delicious. The wife makes a great shepherds pie, I just tend to get the ready mash and cook the mince and just put the mash on top and spread it over then cook it until it browns, but the wife will do her own tatties and mash them up then put carrots, peas etc in it and they come out better than mine, I normally leave all the big main meals to her as her gran taught her how to cook and she is a dab hand at it. Tonight we had, or she made Spaghetti Bolognaise, I am not keen on Spaghetti so she made mine with pasta tubes but she makes a beautiful Bolognaise and uses Dolomio Original Pasta Sauce then it's mushroom, herbs, seriously strong cheese grated on top, I picked the mince up at Tescos as she will always go for Scottish lean steak mince with less fat. But she will always fry the mince first and get all the fat out of it, drain the fat off then put in a pot with all the ingredients in it and let it simmer away for a good 30 minutes, it came out beautiful and after we had a dessert of ice-cream with fruit and whipped cream on top. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted February 20, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted February 20, 2020 That's my tea on the go, give the wife a break as she made dinner for our son, daughter and wee grandson, making myself 2 roast chicken breast fillets with roast tatties and some garden peas.

Cicero Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) You cannot tell me Gordon isn’t on something. Bloke doesn’t stay still. One of the best comments I read from a Gordon Ramsay video was “Gordon the type of guy you’d like to kick back and drink a bottle of olive oil with.” Edited February 21, 2020 by Cicero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
