Khol rabi

I do a asian slaw with it........ carrots, kholrabi, lime juice, sometimes green mango, corriander, chilli, sesame oil, peanuts on top, served on the side of a curry.

Any suggestions for two venison steaks, two ostrich steaks and some cubed venison that are knocking round in the bottom of the freezer?

cubed venison - I'd use the green and blacks italian venison recipe... if you can't find it I can let you have my amended version

It's trimmings from Venison steak, bits with connective membrane etc, so would be best slow cooked. We had the rest a while ago pan roasted with a red wine, chocolate and raspberry vinegar sauce which was :EasterBun

I love Venison, it is I think my favorite meat, but it is pricey from our local butcher so it's a treat.

I'd make sure you remove as much of the membrane as possible as it reallly doesn't cook well. Then marinade for at least 12 hours in herbs, oil and wine. Then either casserole or make kebabs and BBQ

Hi This thread caught me attention - thanks to CCCS and my DMP I have a good budget for food but still like to watch the pennies of course while still cookin good food - which can be done really cheaply or not.

I made a gorgeous wild garlic, leek and potato gratin out of my veg box this week, and it was lovely!!! I am thinking of taking the kids out to the woods to try to find myself some wild garlic, though not sure how successful that would be! Got in my head a fish dish with wild garlic stuffing thingy

Will be reading the thread for inspiration, as well as the rest of the OS board - loving it!


ooh - and also - if you can find anyone in your area that reers organic meat (I mean smaller independent farmers rather than abel&Cole, riverford etc)- I got a huge amount of organic lamb for the freezer for £20 but going in with a few others. it's made LOADS of meals and still have lots left - might be worth investigating?

Good info, thanks. From memory there should be quite a lot that is good stuff as I trimmed 8 steaks up to the same size after I over ordered, but I'll cut out the membrane as much as pos and it can be a treat for the cats :rotfl:

I would love to try low carb eating, but the home baking is my problem.

Home baking is still possible - it is just a little different , mostly based on ground almonds and/or protein powder, even pastry for quiches, although I just cook the filling in a silicone form.

I bake my own low carb bread using yeast. Only small slices admittedly, and I only ever have 2 at a time, but I had a bacon sarnie as part of my lunch today, along with more bacon and an egg.

I have made delicious low carb chocolate chip cookies (not as low carb as the US original would have been because I can't get sugar free chocolate, but way lower than regular choc chip cookies). I have also made muffins. The family like them as much as regular. In fact they eat their stuff and then scoff mine if I'm not careful :mad:

I adore mince.

Me too, usually....tried a new Mince recipe tonight - Keema Curry, and to quote Crocodile Dundee: "You can live on it, but it tastes like sh*t" :laugh:

Don't think I'll be eating mince for quite a while _pale_

You can't make me drool like that and not post recipes or links to them, especially the cookies! TIA!
