Any brilliant, inspired suggestions on what to cook this weekend? I'm stumped ...

@littlek,

I hardly ever cook turkey, k.
Perhaps Deb (or someone else) would have some idea about that?

Another question, to anyone in the know.
A bit earlier in the thread there were a couple of Miso soup suggestions. I asked for a recommendation about which "general purpose" variety of Miso might be the best to buy (if one didn't wish to buy every single variety!)
Any suggestions, anyone?

Please (if you're kind enough to make a suggestion) keep in mind that the weather has become decidedly cooler & the night are chilly in my bit of Oz.

Open up a nice can of thick, chunky soup of some kind. Hmmm.....

Thanks for that, Reyn!
Sounds just wonderful! Very Happy

Of course, my wife does all the cooking. I never go near the stove. Microwave, yes, stove, no! Laughing

But, a nice bowl of hot soup with some bread always does the trick on a cold day. Especially if it's raining.

Oh I agree, Reyn ... soup, beautiful soup! Love it.

Actually I'm going to make a pea & ham (hock) soup soon.

Frankly, I have no idea about types of miso. If I had to suggest, I'd look for one that is called mild. I buy one that is red barley miso (I think) to make soups with.

Thanks, k.
It gets quite confusing. Every recipe I come across seems to require a different one. And I don't much like the thought of buying them all ... the white, red & dark brown varieties, etc... . I think I'll go for "middling", whatever that might be .. & not worry too much about it. Cross my fingers & hope for the best! Smile

@msolga,

Another thing that goes down real good. My wife (of course) makes a lovely home-made chili that's just right for me. I can't take it too spicy, due to delicate innards.

Is that something that appeals to you?

@Reyn,

When you say "chili" , Reyn, you mean with beans?

If so, last week a made a HUGE pot of slow cooked (very) spicy with chili Chirozo & cannelloni beans. Sort of glorified baked beans, I guess.

You should have come over for dinner. There was enough to feed a whole football team! <burp!>

Yup, hamburger meat, (in my case) kidney beans, tomato pieces, and chili powder, I believe.

Slow cooked. Very yummy. Can have with garlic toast, or whatever suits.

Sounds great for a freezing cold night! Very Happy

I don't know how long John cooked it.

How long did you? How was it overcooked? I mean, what happened that made you feel it was over cooked?

@dlowan,

...er .. um ... it was starting to fall apart a bit! Embarrassed

(while carried away watching a film & forgetting to check.)

@msolga,

So...cook it a bit less than that then!! Did it taste bad because it was falling apart?

Re the turkey...I have no idea.

It's a bit less fatty, so perhaps a bit less lemon proportionally?

Only way to find out is to try, I suppose.

@dlowan,

It's no big deal, Deb, thanks anyway.
It's just that I've never cooked chicken (or any meat) in this way before & thought it would be useful to know a bit more about the temperature/rough cooking time, rather than guessing, that's all. Not a problem if you're not sure. Thanks again for the recipe. Much appreciated.

Well?

@msolga,

I'm going to give a link the the Bugialli lemon chicken recipe, just to see the variation, and it might be helpful re times and temperatures..

@ossobuco,

Thank you very much for the recipe, osso. That was very thoughtful of you. Smile

I made the "stove top" version. A little different, but close.
I might give this oven version a go next time.
