Sussexboy Posted December 25, 2024 Report Share Posted December 25, 2024 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.

marsh man Posted December 25, 2024 Report Share Posted December 25, 2024 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted December 25, 2024 Report Share Posted December 25, 2024 Parsnips with Marmite? Doesn't that kill the flavour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like a malty treacle that you use in bread baking. It goes very well with root veg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a malted loaf a while back but the flour was malted, I'm assuming you get a similar result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a try Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
