Cheers Fish but I was more looking along the lines of making a garlic pizza bread.

 

Just I know some use olive oil and others use garlic butter so wanted to gauge some opinion.

If you've got the time, crush some garlic cloves with rosemary and let them sit in some oil for a few days and let it infuse.

 

Or roast a head of garlic for an hour (top and tail it and you can pop the stuff out easily) and spread it over some dough. Roast garlic is awesome.

Bought a filet steak and cooked it medium rare on a bed of caramelised red onion. Also made:

 

Beer Mushroom Cream Sauce:

 

Beer for deglazing pan

2tbsp cream

few leaves of fresh basil (finely chopped)

1 clove garlic (minced)

1 handful chopped mushrooms

 

- Fry off the mushrooms whilst the steak cooks. Move to the side of the pan away from the heat or keep them warm elsewhere.

 

- Throw in beer to deglaze the steak pan. Reduce the liquid way down. Add mushrooms if you couldn't hack leaving them in the pan.

 

- Stir in the garlic and basil. Move around the pan for about 30 seconds.

 

- Pour in cream, turn off the heat. It'll heat up in no time.

 

Comes out like this:

Had a truly stunning cheese, onion and potato pie at the tyne valley/view garden centre, mickley square nr Ovingham.

 

Looked for a recipe and ended up with the hairy bikers version. Ok, but basically a greggs cheese pastie with a cayenne pepper kick.

The one I had at the garden centre was thick as anything with big lumps of potato.

 

If anyone has a good old family recipe for this sort of pie, chuck it up.

 

@@trophyshy you still the pieman?

Ok, so not strictly cooking. But there's not much that beats mashed banana on toast!
