Recipes, home grown goodness, BBQing and food stuff

How did everyone's cooking go on NYE? I brined a turkey then roasted it on the BBQ. Was a little salty so might need to make a weaker brine next time. Thick cut rump steak was broken down and grilled with black truffle rub, always a winner. And a pile of pork snags from the butcher were a hit

@catogrande it was amazing. But again, because one needs to be honest on internet forums with strangers, it wasn't my inspiration or work, a mate who was hosting did it all, I was a mere guest. But it felt worthy of sharing here regardless

I've really been getting into eggs for breakfast this year.
Made some cracking Turkish Menemen and Cilbir and also a pretty fiery Huevos Rancheros over the last three weekends but reason for posting is as part of that wanted to track down some spices that aren't easily available and discovered these people
www.leenaspices.co.nz Great service order arrived within 24 hours. They do a broad range of spice blends but also as I said some difficult to source single spices like pul biber.
Also made the best Pide ever
Apologies all - No meat in any of the meals

Thanks for that link. Some really good looking blends available there that save having umpteen ingredients to make your own going stale in the pantry.
Might have to get out the cookbooks for inspiration.

@dogmeat Wicked! I love they have the pre-made blends!!!
I love a decent slow cooked curry!!!
You have probably chosen to forget more than I know about currys etc. Looking at that lovely long list, can you recommend some not so common blends I could order for Pork or Lamb shoulder curry???
I love heat and love flavour
Any advice would be gratefully accepted

@hooroo Unlike you and @Crucial I enjoy getting the pestle and mortar out and creating my own masala so I didn't really look at the blends.
I've just had a quick squizz at the Indian ones and I think the colour gives you a good clue as to what would suit your personal preferences.
The Jalfrazi looks authentic and the vindaloo would go well with pork but a list of ingredients doesn't really tell you that much It's all about the balance right?
I tend to use whole spices and dry fry them then grind them myself Always start with "C" for curry Cardomom, Cloves, Cumin, Coriander, Cinnamon, Chilli and build from there. I see she does have a Pork Masala which has the aromatics but no heat but I know you'll have plenty of Chilli of your own.
Sorry couldn't be more help.
