This stuffed bread makes wonderful picnic food as the filling holds itself in place allowing you to eat it with just hands – and a napkin for the fastidious. We took it for a packed lunch while decorating our new apartment and it was much more sustaining than the bag of Doritos (T’s choice, not [...]

I mean this most sincerely, it’s not some cheap trick to lure porn-surfers to my food blog; why would I want to do that? It’s wordplay on Pigs in Blankets but to satisfy those at the back, here’s an uncut image (for illustration purposes only, please) from the mind-boggling immeatchu blog. Not sorry to disappoint, I’m referring to [...]
pain o’pulled pork

A spicy, meaty, totally convenient-y version of my stuffed olive oil bread. Make a batch of pulled pork, freeze it on trays then bag for use later. Pulled pork is a Southern U.S. barbecue classic, yet amenable to countless variations and interpretations by those unfettered by the shackles of tradition (did I say bigotry?). Here’s the basic recipe: [...]

Yet another riff on my olive oil dough theme: I call it inside-out pissaladière as this one contains home-made onion confit, flaked tuna and a sprinkle of capers. I ate it – just catching a last morsel for this snap – for lunch then made another variation for Mr T’s tomorrow but this time added [...]

So with the hot weather holding, the olive oil dough persisting and some slightly sinewy chorizo from Lidl haunting the ‘fridge, what better to make than chorizo and olive bread for a tasty lunch? Just grab a handful of dough from the big batch container (first having floured one’s hands), tidy it by folding under [...]

Remember my original loaf? Well, to match the summer weather of late I made a batch of olive oil dough and created this marvelous taleggio and grilled vegetable roulade for Mr T’s team meeting. Good thing we nibbled some beforehand as there were no leftovers. It’s a ball of dough rolled around some cubed taleggio [...]
