Dutch courage neeeded to cook dinner

jean2579 — Wed, 31 Jul 2013 06:42:02 GMT

I am going to need a scotch, or two, before I can start making dinner tonight.

My OH has bought some lambs fry disgusting stuff, that he wants for dinner. I will have to google to find out how to cook it and get a gas mask for the smell.

Anyone else have things they don't like cooking?

Its about 20 years since I last cooked lambs fry, no one will eat it here, but if you cook it with heaps of bacon and a tomato based sauce it is quite nice and the bacon cooking smell takes over.

I have never cooked lambs liver but Jean, if you do a really rotten job he won't ask you to do it again.

I have cooked chicken livers but only to make a pate.

It is delicious. Give it a good wash, pull off as much outer skin as you can, slice into bits about half inch thick (sorry, work out the metric for yourself) and rinse again. Roll in flour, and then cook until tender (not boot leather) Make a gravy and fry some onions, and bacon if you like.

Rinse it in salt water three times over half an hour.

Google Jamie Oliver's recipe, it has wine and W sauce in it, and is very tasty.

I slice it and roll in seasoned flour, cook slowly in a little oil with slices of bacon and onion, when cooked add a small amout of beef stock to thicken the gravy.

Serve to men only.

Soak in burban for three hours , Cook on a very hot pan until tender throw in. Some bacon serve with a burban gravy on a bed of mashed potato , then take the plate full of food throw it in the bin and eat the fry pan it will taste better

Have a drink. Consider this horrible looking lump of meat. It's gross, yes? Have another drink.

Open the pack of meat. It stinks, yes? Have a drink. Or two.

Heat the frying pan and add oil. That part's ok. Have a drink to celebrate.

Add the meat to the frying pan.

GROSS SMELL ALERT.

Add onions ... they do make the odour a little easier to deal with.

Drink more drink. Boil potatoes for mash.

Turn the icky meat.

Turn the onions. So far, this is the only edible part of your meal.

When the meat is cooked, and the onions are browned, turn the heat off.

Have a sip.

Put aside the icky liver and keep warm.

Check the potatoes and boil when tender.

Have a BIG slurp.

Mash potatoes with butter and chives.

Have another drink.

DO NOT MAKE THAT HORRIBLE, NASTY, SALTY, ICKY, THICK, REVOLTING, YUCKY GRAVY.

Eat your mashed potatoes with some onions, and enjoy.

It could be worse. You could be in the US cooking lamb fries.

It's quite simple. Just tell him "You want it - you cook it!"

Then take yourself out to a restaurant for a nice meal.

Hi Jean,

the first time I ever used a slow cooker was to cook lambs fry. I was engaged to a builder that had a cooked breakfast every morning before work and his favourite was lambs fry with eggs. (He had great taste in women but not so much in food... meh!):smileytongue:

Anyway here's the recipe;

500g liver, cleaned and thinly sliced

250g rindless bacon, each rasher cut in half

3 large onions, sliced and separated into rings

oil

1tbls flour

salt & pepper

1tsp oregano

125ml rich beef stock

60ml sherry

2 tsp paprika

Preheat slow cooker on high while preparing casserole. Saute onions in a little oil until golden brown. Set aside. Mix together flour, paprika and coat liver. Brown in oil. Place liver then bacon, then onion in slow cooker. Season with salt & pepper and oregano. Sprinkle with remaining flour mix. Pour in wet ingredients.

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4.

I use to put it on before I went to bed. It was ready when he got up at 4am.

Hope this helps.

I don't think you should cook anything that turns your stomach.

Tell him to cook it himself or don't bring it home at all. Then feed it to the dog.
