JohnfromUK Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 It looks very nice, but there's a small fortune worth of saffron in the rice! Is the other rice addition cassia bark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the other rice addition cassia bark? 'A good pinch' of saffron - but I do like saffron.... The recipe for the rice is - x4 table spoons of ghee, x3 cloves, x3 cardamon pods, x3 cinnamon sticks - all lightly fried in the ghee for a few minutes. Then add x2 cups of washed basmati rice, as well as a 'good pinch' of saffron, salt to taste, and a tin of coconut milk mixed with water to make it up to x4 cups - then cook the rice as you normally would (which in an AGA is bring it to the boil, and then put it in the simmering oven for 15 minutes with a lid on) 10 minutes ago, JKD said: Now that looks extremely nice, I could tuck into that 😋 Thank you - very kind Edited February 8 by PeterHenry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just that the recipes I use seem to usually call for cassia in rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pigeon meatballs are about 2/3 minced pigeon, with the remaining 1/3 made up of either pork belly or the fatty bits from those packs of 'cooking bacon' / off cuts that you can buy in the supermarket (also minced) - with whatever seasonings you want. You can also make it go even further if you want Italian style meatballs, which have bread (with the crust cut off, and soaked in milk) incorporated with the mince.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Well the simplest and quickest Sweet and Sour Sauce recipe that I know of is; Pineapple juice or brown sugar as the sweet element. Vinegar for the acidic element. Tomato ketchup for the colour. Some Soy Sauce to adjust the flavour. Mix and warm. Experimentation is key to get to the taste you like.
