A quarter of an inch of light chicken stock in a pressure cooker.
I added sliced ginger, garlic, soy and pepper.
Throw in the belly and cook at high pressure for 30 mins.
Let it naturally depressurise, take out the pork belly and crisp it up in a blazing hot pan.
Meanwhile put the pressure cooker pan back on heat (uncovered) to reduce the remaining cooking liquor.
Pour sauce on pig and eat the lot.
I'm at the point where I need to go drive to do the weekly shop. It genuinely upsets / unnerves me. I hate being in a big supermarket at present. If we were to have say 3/7 meat dinners a week, what should be our prize go tos when we are in. And when I say we, I mean me as flora can't go in at 29 weeks pregnant.
Chicken is definitely a shout.
Chicken on the bone is so much cheaper as well. Packs of wings are normally dirt cheap, drummers even more so. Thigh on the bone is the best cut except for the tiny oyster on a whole bird.
Also chorizo. It goes with so many things and lasts for ages. Same with smoked bacon. Streaky is best because of the fat content. And stock up on frozen petit pois. And buy a pressure cooker.
I'm gonna put this out there.
Pound for pound Pizza Express pizzas are the worst chilled pizzas available from supermarkets.
I bought one earlier. American Hot, £2.50 HALF PRICE. it was tiny, it was not hot and it was bang average.
It is unfair to compare to home made, take away or restaurant but there are some really good own brand chilled pizzas out there now. Sainsbos do three ranges (well 4 if you have the fresh counter but they arent the one).
Take out, these are your trash pizza but still offer stuffed crust and a half way decent base. You are paying for mass here not refinement. Sometimes you want the filth and they fit the bill . What I would buy for a kids party.
Stone baked. Your mid range, great base for what it is. Toppings are basic but plentiful, good price.
Taste the difference. These are good. Really good. At £5/6 and enough for two with a salad they are great value pizza. Toppings are top tier in this realm. Proper thin sliced meats, good cheeses and the one with artichokes is super tasty. Honestly unless you have an exceptional pizza place near by these are as good as it gets without making your own dough.
I guess the 5th type is your pure junk kids thing. 75p for a kids size pizza. Whatever, nobody is buying that anyway.
