Food thread
Sorry. Any ideas? I'm cooking a thank-you meal for my parents. I've bought the wine before the food- a couple of bottles of a pretty good Bordeaux, one Sauternes and a Brown Brothers Muscat and Flora (so 2 dessert wines in total.) I can't cook so suggestions of easy food I can buy and simply cook/reheat that would go with the wine would be lovely.

Alternative question: What's the most bizarre sexual practice you've come across? (Points for truthfulness and weirder than plushophilia)

Edit: Thanks for all suggestions. I'm leaning towards the lasagne since it'll go well with red wine.

You can't go wrong with lasagne
Unless they're Veggie, in which case cook the lasagne, then throw it at them, telling them you hate them, before jumping onto the table crying and screaming the Lord's Prayer and masturbating.

Not difficult at all
Brown the meat (fnarr), add the onions & some garlic.
Cook them until soft.
Add tomatoes, chopped peppers, tomato puree, mushrooms, etc. Add all your herbs and such. Leave it to cook in the pan for about 20 mins.

For the cheese sauce, get the strongest cheddar you can lay your hands on, grate it up, and mix with a beschamel sauce, made from butter, milk & flour.

Layer in a dish with dried lasagne. I tend to go meat/pasta/sauce in that order.

Cook for about 20 mins.

Farking delicious.

Dried lasagna sheets - 20 mins? Which brand would that be?
But your'e spot on there.
So that's spagbol sauce, cheese sauce (you can even buy both these in glass jars) and pasta sheets layered in a dish.
I often top it like a pizza - cheese sauce/tomato slices/ mushrooms/ ham - anything lying around more or less.
Cannot go wrong. Bake 210deg covered with foil for 50 minutes, then uncover and brown the top for another 15/20 minutes.

It's easy - here's how I do it.

Dry fry 1lb ground beef (mince) until brown.
Throw in half a large onion (chopped)
1/2lb mushrooms
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
Salt, pepper and a dash of basil and rosemary.
Add a jar of Ragu and half a glass of red wine.

Simmer for 20 minutes while the spaghetti is cooking.

Serve with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese

Space docking, for sure.
Re food, seeing as you've bought both red and white wines, one of them is likely to be a bit 'wrong' for what you cook.

I'd recommend crab and chili linguine, it truly is a piece of piss, takes not much more than the time it takes to cook the pasta and tastes delicious. As you have dessert wines you're clearly planning on having pudding, so the crab dish is also perfect as it's not too heavy so you won't be over-stodged.

Cheesecake goes will with that Brown Bros muscat - it's like apricot juice. Very nice.
(, Tue 13 Apr 2010, 16:40, Reply)
The white ones
i.e. the Sauternes and Muscat are both dessert wines, and ideal for fruit based desserts, so I'll probably do Eton Mess for parents, and lemon tart for me. Though now I've read your suggestion of cheesecake I might change since I do love cheesecake. So just red for main course.

The crab dish sounds lovely, but I can't cook/eat fish or shellfish since I'm allergic. Thanks though

A simple 3 courses
Starter - Roasted peppers
Main - Spaghetti carbonnera
Dessert - Tiramasu

For the starter you need 1 pepper per person (red are nice and sweet)

Simply cut the peppers in half lengthways, scoop out the seeds and white pith. Lay on an oiled tray. Into each pepper put 4-6 halves of cherry or baby plum tomatoes, 2 or 3 anchovies, a couple of fresh basil leaves and a good glug of the best extra virgin olive oil you can afford. good twist of black pepper and salt, Roast for 20-25 mins on gas 5/6


For the main, big pan of boiling water, add spaghetti (500gms will do 4 ppl) takes 12 mins too cokk giving time to do below.
While that is cooking, take a big handful of smoked bacon lardons and half a finely chopped onion and get then in a pan to fry.
For the sauce, into a bowl put 3 egg yolks (nice and fresh) a small pot of single (250ml) cream and a big handful of finely grated parmesan and a good big pinch of white pepper. whisk it all together.

When the spaghetti is cooked, drain well and return to pan. Add in the nice crispy smoked bacon bits and onion, give it a good stir. Then quickly add the sauce and mix in as quickly as possible to avoid scrambling the egg. Lovely stuff, serve up hot with a sprinkle of parmesan on top.

For the pudding, goddamn, just buy a nice tiramasu from tesco :)
(, Tue 13 Apr 2010, 18:06, Reply)
carbonara is better without the cream
for 2 people you need 3 eggs, beaten with 50g of grated parmesan, shitloads of parsley and black pepper.
(, Tue 13 Apr 2010, 20:35, Reply)
The variations are endless arn't they
When I do this at home, I just use 2 egg yolks per person with parmesan.

But if you remove the egg whites and use cream as above, it is far less likely to scramble when you add the sauce to the pasta and is much more beginner friendly.

Black pepper is true to most classic recipes, but my Italian grandmother had dentures, and so would always use white pepper so there would be no tiny bits of black pepper sticking under her false teeth!

Mum and my aunts on the Italian side use black pepper, so it is only me who sticks to grannies recipe. They call me a philistine for using white pepper, I tell them they are only half Italian and know nothing ;)

But parsley? nooooooo
