Moroccan Style Ossobuco / Tomato Soup with Tripe and Sausage / Freezing Food



Blog Post & Recipe: Ossobuco Tagine (Moroccan Style Ossobuco)


For the recipe, I started out with my ossobuco recipe and then I added some dried apricots and prunes along with a blend of warm spices.


Blog Post & Recipe: Tomato soup with tripe and sausage (a.k.a. leftover soup: recycled)


You can do this trick with any leftover meat and vegetable soup with a clear broth. The tripe can be substituted with just about any kind of meat. The only thing to remember is not to add any raw ingredient to the leftover soup then simmer until the raw ingredient is done because that would turn everything in the leftover soup into an indiscernible goo.


Blog Post: Freezers give waste the cold shoulder


Taste-wise, you have to choose and use frozen veg carefully. Frozen peas are the most popular frozen vegetable in the UK as they taste good and hold their shape and texture. Other frozen veg which (in my opinion) pass the taste test are broad beans, sweetcorn and leaf spinach (reheat it very gently) ... The big no-nos for freezing are salad, egg-based dished, such as mayonnaise (tends to separate on thawing) and whole eggs (they will burst as the liquid content expands).
