    Neither are close to me. Looks like Sainsbury's do one called Olivado at £4.50 for 250ml. It only keeps for 3 months though once opened, apparently.

    it goes thick if refrigerated. 250ml isnt much so sure you will get through it.

    The Mediterranean influence shows, Tony. Not only in the combination of ingredients you've used, but how you've scored the chicken legs, to let more RICHNESS and FLAVOUR in! And the fact that you eat meat on the bone, not just breast

    So many Brits have an aversion to bones......

    Nice one, and Franco's mum sounds like a legend!

    A mainly digital setup with a musical amplifier and endearing 1970's speakers. A CD player that hardly ever gets used and a turntable that is good enough to remind my how enjoyable my old vinyl is. Some cables and things.

    Default OK, What's For Tea Today?

    I have a nice piece of topside that I would usually roast, but today am going to sear it and put it into the slow cooker with loads of sautéed onions, some celery and carrots, garlic, thyme, big grind of black pepper (probably around 7x peppercorns) , a can of Guinness, a big big shake of Worcestershire sauce (half a shot glass or so), tablespoon of concentrated tomato purée, topped up with stock so the beef is just covered (with a flour and butter roux stirred into it), big pinch of salt, and leave it for 6hrs on low. No touching, no nothing.

    People say to trim the fat, I disagree as the flavour is here, so brown off the fat side before it goes in, no need to brown the rest of the joint it just ends up making drier sides anyway. Brown one side for the best of both worlds.

    Yup, sounds the bizzo, Neil. Some piccies of the finished dish would be great!

    Dad's coming round today for lunch, so we're having a small bowl of Del's homemade tortelli pasta, with ricotta and spinach, and her Bolognaise sauce, served with some crusty bread, then coq au vin, served with polenta (a nice mix of classic French and Italian cuisine), and fresh green beans (all homemade).

    Still to decide on the wine, but will most likely opt for a nice Côtes du Rhône Villages... Will see if I can snap some pics, before it's all scoffed!!

    I'm going to do a chilliish concoction making it up as I move round Sainsbury's.

    Shin of beef, chorizo, borlotti beans, coriander, whole head of garlic, fresh chilli, mushrooms, mushroom ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, tom puree, onions, Kallo liquid beef stock (organic), peppers and whatever else I can think to throw in.

    Hm, I seem to have made most of it up already...

    Gonna make some bread.. Just testing the different yeasts for vigour. looks like one of them is a dud. the other looks promising. am replacing 25% of flour with gluten free to see if it helps yet still produces a decent loaf. Cant be bothered doing it by hand so got the machine out. It usually makes a very good loaf
