Now that should remind me never to post an image of a cardboard box full of fish and chips 👍
As far as I’m concerned, you can post images of fish’n’chips as often as you like, especially with malt vinegar. It’s stuff like this that I miss as an exPat.

We recently made Boulets à la Liégeoise...Belgian meatballs...

Mix of 50% ground pork and 50% ground beef, mixed with rye bread, allspice, nutmeg, S&P, one egg, small amount of beef stock, and some fresh chopped dill - meatballs have to go in the fridge for a couple of hours:



Brown in a pan:



Meanwhile, soak pitted prunes in some beef stock and cook in the microwave for a few minutes:



Remove meatballs from pan, sauté chopped onions in the pan, then puree the prunes and add to pan, with some Belgian beer - we used a wheat beer, and some thyme sprigs and a bay leaf:



Reduce the sauce, then return the meatballs to the pan, and cover to finish cooking, turning them 1/2 way through:



Before removing the sauce from the pan, stirred in a little cider vinegar, and was supposed to add more dill but forgot that:



Very good and tender meatballs...I guess traditionally serviced with Belgian fires, but we opted for a salad:



Will be making these again!

A somewhat stressful day but we are all together as a family and enjoying a few glasses of vino and yes no kitchen staff on duty 😉 so local Domino's to the rescue 👍

Dinner was Danish meatballs and spinach. Always a hit with the kids.

Right now I am consuming my post gym workout meal of mashed kidney beans fried with goats cheese, two eggs, sage, thyme and a home grown dried chili for a bit of bite. A bit of freshly ground Nepalese pepper added as well. Eating a home baked wholegrain bun as well.

I know it doesn’t take any prize for looks or presentation but after lifting weights in the gym it’s pretty darn good 😀

Crispy polenta with mushroom sauce...preparing the polenta:





Garlic, tiny bit of butter, and parmesan added:



Into a pan, and into the fridge to set up:



Starting on the shrooms...browned, then added finely chopped shallot and garlic:



Added some port that was cooked down, little bit of beef stock that was cooked down, and fresh parsley and chives (chives that survived the winter in a pot on the deck):



Also prepared a gravy with home made beef stock, shallots, and garlic, that was thickened. Now the polenta has set, so cut it and sauté in some olive oil:



Ready to eat:



Crispy on the outside, creamy in the middle, and the mushrooms and sauce was fantastic:
