    Pumpkin Spice Coconut Curry.

    You’re gonna need a cast iron pot…and a knife.

    “Bits, Pieces, and Leftovers.”
    This is a budget worthy work up that uses the stuff left from other meal preps and last bits of produce that try to go bad in the refrigerator.
    It’s neither Gordon Ramsey’s Spicy Sausage & Rice or Paella but uses techniques from both.

    20231209_130737.jpeg
    A couple of link sausages, some various ground meats, a few mushrooms, the last stalks of celery..and..Imagination. ( You just said that in your SpongeBob voice didn’t you? :D )

    20231209_130749.jpeg
    This one is like a mob boss. He just hangs out on the down low..waiting for his cut. ;)
    20231209_160325.jpeg

    Wasn’t hard really. It made a pan full too.

    20231209_163510.jpeg
    Well. I’d call that a winner huh?!

    I decided to do a stock experiment.

    20231213_160446.jpeg
    I chopped up a good bunch of deer and pork bones which I oven roasted along with some whole yellow onions.
    Then they were cooked down in a stock pot with seasoning and about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar reducing 5 qts to 3.
    This produced a thick, almost viscous, poultry gravy like substance that was wonderfully aromatic and delicious.:)

    It’s that time of year, people with the sniffles, you hear coughing..can’t hardly be avoided. So I gathered some ingredients..

    20231214_180525.jpeg
    Set a timer for 7 hours, and go about your day. Go to the gym, clean the house, play with the dog, all while your lungs get filled with a smoky pleasant sensation.

    20231214_181052.jpeg
    This will cure those things that try to getcha. Best not to wait though, She’s going back for more already. ;)

    Hmm. “The Great British Baking Show.”
    The disaster episode. ;)
    It’s a fun little show that we enjoy. Herself asked for this and I like trying interesting stuff.
    Classic British Sausage Rolls.

    20231216_130342.jpeg
    First I consider how I want the taste. That gives me an idea of what spices I want.
    This part I’m good at!

    20231216_134800.jpeg
    I decided mine would be kind of “egg roll” in texture. I’ll give these a quick sauté in a bit of butter first.
    (There are raisins in it too but I got involved in the process and forgot to put them in the picture. ;) )

    20231216_142239.jpeg
    The finishing touch on my vegetation is a tablespoon each of these. It will leave just a hint of smoky sweetness but it also tames the bitey edge you get from freshly ground black pepper.

    20231216_143728.jpeg
    This is where disaster enters the scene. I need a gluten free dough to roll around my sausage mix….

    Pt 2.

    My feet have to do freakish magic..yeah, he’s been down there the whole time. :)

    20231216_152751.jpeg
    I’m using plain pork sausage. You could absolutely use the Hot variation or add some Cayenne powder to yours. It would be great that way. I try not to burn her innards out on mine though.

    Well. These are ugly as homemade sin.
    Brushed with egg wash and a sprinkle of Black Poppy Seed. 425F for 40 minutes.
    Crisp buttery pastry, delicious meat mix with an excellent texture, spices spot on, but the gluten free dough had no flexibility. None.
    Based on appearances I’m pretty sure Paul Hollywood has the finest of the Crown’s assassins on their way to me as we speak. :D
