Spam, Kale sprouts, Cabbage, Dijon mustard, Butter, Cream, Queensland nuts

G'day food lovers,

Tonight I'm thinking of a friend whose grandmother is very ill.

It's Friday night and it's been a good week so I need to have an easy Friday night tea.

I grabbed a tin of Spam with bacon. Opened it up, sliced the slab in half coronally and then cut it into cubes. I tossed the Spam into a frypan and got some colour on the Spam. I then added in some kale sprouts and red cabbage and put the lid on. After a few minutes I added a knob of butter and watched it melt.

Once the butter had melted I splashed in some cream and a teaspoon of Dijon mustard. I then added in some Queensland nuts. You know what, call 'em Queensland nuts and Macadamia nuts. Genus Macadamia consists of three major species and most of the trees grow in Queensland and some parts of cockroach land.

Anyway, it was a delicious meal and now I'm ready to go to bed.

Have a good night and have a good weekend.

If you like what I'm doing here please let me know.

Thursday tea. Cheesy Coon™ vegetables.

Cauliflower, Spring onion, Parsley, Almonds, Peanuts, Sesame seeds, Poppy seeds, Kale sprouts, Kale, Tomatoes, Coon™ cheese, Butter, Cream

G'day food lovers,

The Heart Foundation recently revised its nutrition advice. It lifted restrictions on eggs and dairy and recommended a reduction in mammalian meat.

Tonight I've gone meat-free.

In a frypan I heated up some cauliflower florets, kale sprouts, green kale leaves, spring onions, and parsley. I then added in some almond flakes and crushed peanuts along with some sesame seeds and poppy seeds. I added a knob of butter to get the greens glistening.

I transferred everything to a baking dish and then added a splash of cream, some grated Coon™ cheese, and the cherry tomatoes.

I baked it all at 200 °C for 20 minutes.

Have a good one. Bye.

Steak, Kale, Cream cheese, Coon™, Cream

G'day food lovers

Okay, so I cheated on Coles again by entering Woolworths today and exploring the meat section. I saw a nice thick piece of rib steak with the bone in and my eyes lit up.

I cooked the steak sous vide at 54 °C (129 °F) for 3 hours and then seared it in a hot frypan with some garlic butter.

I put green and red kale leaves into the oven with some cream cheese, Coon™, and cream and cooked it at 200 °C (400 °F) for 30 minutes.

The cream and cheese made for a nice sauce for the steak.

Tuesday tea. Leftover sous vide chicken with cabbage and kale and laksa flavours.

Chicken, Cabbage, Kale, Spring onions, Coriander, Red onion

G'day food lovers,

Tonight I made a chicken, cabbage, and kale dish with laksa flavours in coconut cream.

In a deep frypan I sautéed the shredded red and drumhead cabbage as well as shredded green and red kale.

After the cabbage had softened, I added in a tablespoon of laksa paste and stirred it through.

I then added a small tin of coconut cream and allowed it all to simmer. With the heat heat one I stirred through slices of sous vide chicken thigh and when it had warmed through I turned the heat off. I then stirred through chopped spring onions, coriander, and red onion.

This is a quick and simple meal replacing noodles with cabbage with lots of flavours.

Leftover slow cooker pulled ham hock and chicken thigh with Hollandaise sauce dressed slaw.

Ham hock, Chicken, Hollandaise sauce, Cabbage, Carrot, Red onion, Avocado

G'day food lovers,

Tonight I had the last of the leftover slow cooker pulled ham hock and chicken thigh. I served it with a slaw made from shredded cabbage leaves, grated carrot, and thinly sliced red onion, dressed with leftover homemade Hollandaise sauce.

It's a cold winter night so I did heat up my meat in a frypan with a little butter for lubrication. I then added some cream for further lubrication. I warmed up the leftover homemade Hollandaise sauce in a bain-marie.

If you're interested in how I make my Hollandaise sauce, I whisk three egg yolks with half a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, half a teaspoon of hot sauce, and a tablespoon of lime juice. I then slowly add one hundred grams of melted butter while whisking vigorously. If you have weak wrists, use a stick blender.

Sunday tea. Fish and chips. Baked ling in a bag with corn, cauliflower cheese, and kale chips.

Ling, Butter, Kale, Corn, Cauliflower, Cheese

#yummylummy #foodphotography #lowcarb #noaddedsugar

G'day food lovers

I made fish and chips tonight.

I took a tip from a member of the Cooking for one Facebook group and betrayed Coles by going to Woolworths. I bought a piece of ling in a bag with some parsley and herb butter. I baked it for 12 minutes at 170 °C as per the instructions.

I also made corn, cauliflower cheese, and kale chips. The corn and cauliflower florets were cooked for 40 minutes and then I added some Coles smoky cheese slices to the cauliflower plus some Queensland nut oil squirted kale leaves. I cooked for a further 12 minutes while the ling was baking.

I don't normally like ling because it's tasteless, but this tasted pretty good. The best thing about ling is that it's nearly half the cost of salmon.

Have a good one.
