Another Christmas dinner completed

[Sussexboy]

Here is the starter of pigs in blankets (home made sausages and home maple cured bacon) followed by cod in a roast fennel and caper butter sauce.

Main course of fillet steak with roast potatoes, sautéed sprouts and carrot and parsnip roasted in malted barley extract. Flaming Christmas pud to finish.

Look very nice indeed , not sure about setting light to the Christmas pudding , I am a bit prune to accidents and when my house insurance didn't cover a underground leak , I very much doubt if I was covered by a Christmas pudding burning my house down to the ground

Very nice, I hope all of your effort was appreciated.

Parsnips with Marmite? Doesn't that kill the flavour?

It’s not marmite. It is like a malty treacle that you use in bread baking. It goes very well with root veg.

Thank you - every day is a school day, I'm guessing you would use it in Wholemeal/Brown bread types? Made a malted loaf a while back but the flour was malted, I'm assuming you get a similar result?

I use it in loaves that are 20% whole meal 80% white flour with a couple of spoons of sourdough starter as well as some yeast. It makes an awesome malty loaf with a really good crust. No good for people with no teeth like a certain Mr. Ditchman!

Might look into something similar. Mr Ditchman's teeth may be blunt but his wit is as sharp as ever, time the forum had a dish of the year award, he gets my vote .
