It costs £10.95, which in itself is suprisingly cheap, and if you manage the challenge it's free. You even have to sign a health disclaimer before you start! Link.

Futtocks 14,297 Report post Posted March 12, 2012 Yesterday I cooked a shoulder of lamb in a sort of sous-vide method, which was fab. First I gave the meat a going-over with a skewer, then seasoned and seared it in a frying pan. The meat was then rubbed with smoked paprika and Sainsbury Moroccan spice mix. Then I sealed it in a plastic food bag, sucking out as much air as possible and popped it into water in the slow cooker for about 1 hour on 'full' and 5 hours on 'low'. I finished it in a regular oven for about 30 minutes, roasting it along with various diced root vegetables. While that was cooking, I reduced the lamb juices with some red wine to make a gravy, using the occasional spoonful to baste the meat. The result was rich, tender and delicious.

Futtocks 14,297 Report post Posted March 12, 2012 Sous-vide? Sounds a bit Heston and a bit of a faff for me. Nothing simpler - about 2 minutes' preparation, a few more minutes in the frying pan, then you can leave the slow cooker to do its thing while you get on with your life. I've also done spare ribs in a barbecue marinade by this method, and that really works well too. Quote "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

hindle xiii 846 Report post Posted March 24, 2012 I'm making this tonight and I've marinated the chicken overnight. Now, I've halved the ingredients because there isn't 4 of us eating it, and I think I have added a bit too much greek yoghurt. But my question is this, should I use the marinade as part of the sauce?! I don't wanna chuck it but it makes no mention of using the marinade again. What's the usual way to go with a used marinade?!

Nevermind. It was nice but too much oil and a bit too much chilli. Worth doing again to tweak. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
