Thank you :)

That's a shame, how about using streaky in a lattice?

Yeah, looks perfect, but it was wasted on a disaster lol.
This time, chicken breasts stuffed with sage and onion stuffing with sausage meat mixed into the stuffing, sadly I made double the amount of stuffing mix than I needed, and it split in the oven :{
It was my first attempt.
So, stuffing mix on the opened up chicken breasts, on the streaky bacon. Then rolled up, I think I cooked it at 180c for an hour.

Because I am a good carnivore. Tonight is vegetarian.

A mildly spiced Persian cauliflower omelet.

Preheat oven to 180% fan.

Roast cauliflower, onions, and spring onions, until they are soft and slightly browned. Great in 2 cloves of garlic, add 40g raisins and cook for a further 5mins.

Mix together 5eggs. In a bowl, add 1tbs of cornflower, 0.5tsp baking powder, with 1tsp each cumin, smoked paprika, and 1.5tsp turmeric, with enough water to make a thin paste, and add to the eggs with salt and pepper. Mix together and pour over the cauliflower

Lower the oven temperature to 160% fan and cook the omelette until it is just set, and golden.

Serve with a simple tomato salad.

Disastrous? Hmmmmm, I'm thinking the resulting crisp on the stuffing would be a non-Hindenburgian fortuitous bonus!

Oooh, you sound a man of culture ;)
I do like a bit of crispy stuffing too :D
It tasted good, it was just the presentation that let it down.

Oooh, I'm going to have to try this, but I think I'm going to have to substitute your raisins with a mushroom medley mix ;)

Something I've never done, but I've eaten friends home baked bread, and it never disappointed.
Quite funny, I recently found out that wholemeal bread has more sugaring carbs than white bread.

Tastes good, with crispy stuffing is all that matters. It all ends up in the gob

You will have to let me know how it tastes. Personally, I liked the sweet pops of flavour against the mild spice, and I do not have a sweet tooth at all.

Tonight is Mr Chef’s chopped cheese. Stick your fancy New York. This is the Dunoon version. Looks to be the perfect food to eat, whilst drinking beer, and watching France get humped by Ireland in the Rugby.

I can confirm that Mr Chef’s Chopped Cheese. Replaced the beef, with venison and used Orkney Cheddar, served with a few Orkney Dark beers.
