Just realised, this is a food cooking thread. Are posts about heating up pre cooked food allowed?
I make a bloody good lasagne but have never been able to master moussaka. Best left to the Greeks that one.
I've made up another huge batch of Bignalese Ragu.
15 portions. 14 after tonight.
On the menu tonight, liver and onions. Liver lightly dusted with flour and fried, onions and a rich gravy.
Great minds think alike.No way!
I came in here to post exactly the same thing
I flash fry the liver, just to colour it, let it rest while I make the bacon and onion gravy, then put it in the bubbling gravy for 3 minutes. Perfect.
I'll have it with broccoli and buttery mashed spud.
Missus told me just now" should only eat liver, once a month. Menstruating women, can eat liver as often as they like.".So that's what a sharp knife feels like.
All these years that I thought I had sharp knives...
The liver was fantastic.
Just in case anyone doesn't know, liver has a great affinity with butter.
Mmmm... I'm going to have it again tomorrow.

It is all about the iron content apparently, eating too much liver can cause problems it seems. Menstruating women lose iron, while others can store dangerous levels of iron, if eating liver on a regular basis. So I have been told by the missus... I think you may get away with another meal of liver, depending on the time of the month. lolWhy?
I am a big girl's blouse. Does that help?
Dairy-Free baking, can anyone help? my girlfriend doesn't eat dairy at all so i'm trying to convert various cake recipes into dairy free (We do like our cake!). How would I go about replacing butter with oil, or dairy free marge for that matter? Likewise when milk is called for, is it just a case of swapping like for like with soya/almond milk or should I adjust the quantity to compensate?
So that's what a sharp knife feels like.

Should be OK simply swapping out dairy for non dairy, so marge for butter and nut milk for real. Have a scout round the web for dairy free baking recipes.
Probably easiest to check out vegan baking sites for any dairy free cake recipes.
This has nice pictures. No idea if any of the recipes are any good though!

OK. Understand about the iron.
Thinking about it, I probably do only have it once or twice a month, but I do tend to have it 2 days in a row.
I think I'll be ok.
I use a steel to sharpen my knives and when the cutting edge of the knife finally develops 'shoulders' I use a whetstone to get it back in shape. However, I was trained to do this and spent 15 years using sharp knives every working day, so I wouldn't recommend this as an 'amateur' pursuit as knackered knives and/or potentially fatal personal injury may result!I have a drag through sharpener as it's the only type I can use. Seems to do the job though.
Must admit, not read up on it in a while. Just what the missus tells me.Don't think you can really have too much iron. It is recommended that pregnant women don't eat liver as too much Vit A causes foetus abnormalities. Liver does tend to have high levels of Copper and you can OD on with chronic exposure but I think you need more than you would find in liver.
Sounds like the meal we had the other week, this was at one of the big name pubs. It was Hunters' Chicken, very nice it was too. It was Chicken with a layer of bacon and melted cheese. It had a BBQ sauce also, it went down verywell. I might try making my own version.I had one meal yesterday, a bacon and grated cheese baguette at 4PM, served with a cherry tomato salad dressed with vinaigrette. I cannot remember the last time I had a bacon and cheese butty, but my word - what a fine combination!
I am also 600g lighter this morning.

Don't like the stuff myself but it is very good for you.
edit: oh, the liver bioaccumulates lots of heavy metals (inc copper) but maybe there was a history of them being fed things full of arsenic and other dodgy stuff. Doubt that would happen nowadays in the UK food chain.
So I am not talking poop after all, even black poop ( high iron tablets produces black poop, I know).On the contrary, too much iron can be extremely dangerous, even life threatening.
Another bloomin hot curry tonight, I must be stupid.
I love a good curry, just not a hot one. The chili numbs my tongue, and I find it uncomfortable. Or I am just a wimp.Nothing stupid about that at all IMHO. I made a chicken madras last night with the left over roast chicken from Sunday. It wasn't bad, but instead of making it totally from scratch as I usually do, I used a Sainsbury's madras paste, and it was a little too sweet for my taste.
