Ugly Mackems 133 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Ideas fellas? I've just made a big pan of veg soup. Trouble is the split peas are crunchy and not breaking down at all. Been on the hob 3 hrs now and still crunchy. Can see this going straight down the netty. I've soaked them for a good 24 hrs, in fact nearer 36 hrs but the little yellow bastards are having none of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you boil the split peas before adding them to the soup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14136 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Stick it in the blender, even if the bits are still crunchy at least they'll be smaller bits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14136 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 The local market's been swimming in butternut squash recently so I've been using that a lot. Roast some cubes of it with a couple of sliced red onions and some garlic, stir it through pasta with some creme fraiche or similar - easy as you like and dead nice. (Note to Ugly Mackems - cook the pasta first. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14136 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Is this some bizarre dairy product-based extension of the handkerchief code of which I'm unaware or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Is this some bizarre dairy product-based extension of the handkerchief code of which I'm unaware or something? Its quite possible that Parky had the image of your creamy sauce inside a hoop of penne and just got over-excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12879 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Reading through this thread, I noticed Leazes apparently makes some top notch curries and since I'm fancying making one, does anyone have the recipes handy? A mild one would be lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mild one would be lovely. Scroll back to page 18 where I've wrote out a very good curry recipe. You can make it as mild or as hot as you choose to make it. I personally don't bother with the spinach but hoy extra chillies in. Im geet hard though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one, cheers I'm a bit of a pansy when it comes to hot food (well, me arse is, to be precise) so I'll keep it mild. I've started to like spinach a bit more recently so I'll take the coward's way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
