I should have posted these pics 10 days ago on honor of Mexico's Day of the Dead.

Tomatillos are a staple in Mexican and Central American cooking.

Despite the name (Spanish for "little tomato") and appearance, tomatillos are only distantly related to garden-variety red tomatoes.  Both tomatillos and tomatoes are classified botanically as fruits but are regarded as vegetables when used as a food ingredient.  Tomatillos have a sour herbal taste, totally different from tomatoes.  They are mostly used raw in salsa verde ("green salsa") but can be used in a number of cooked dishes as well.

I made salsa verde to go with tacos ...

This is what the tilapia looked like without the topping, baked in brown butter with Mexican spices ...

Chucked a few mushrooms into the leftover potroast from a couple of days ago.

Like some other dishes, it had seemed to improve in flavour over time. Either that, or there was extra tasty mold in it....

How do you make that gravy so thick. I've made a lot of pot roasts in the crock pot over the years, but it never comes out like that.

I am guessing that you add some flour in when setting things up. If so.... how much flour do you put in ?

My first portion of my recently made pimped up spag bol without the Spag. Lol

I make up about 20 portions of bolognese every so often and put it in freezer bags. 

Sometimes, I fancy Chili con carne, so I add kidney beans, chili flakes and perhaps sweet corn then serve with rice. 

It's very versatile and I can have a home cooked meal done in around 15 minutes with use of a microwave and a pan of boiling water.

I do a batch which gives me around 10 portions to be frozen, Mine is a bit of a mix between a bol and a chilli, I add spicey chorizo sausage, mushrooms, bacon, onions, garlic, bol sauce and also a hot powered chilli mix from Schwartz.

After being frozen and thawed out over night, it's just 2 minutes in the microwave after either cooking some veg or spaghetti.

Depending on where one lives / comes from, "real gravy" can vary immensely.

For me, being English, the standard meat juices / onions / oxo or Bisto and splash of water is the way to go.....

Ummm, not sure I can manage a steak this big.

Will cut it in half.

Hope you have a good knife.

 

I hacked through that bone-in giant pork shoulder the other day. Way, too much work.

 

I don't know how anyone could be a butcher. Dog awful work.

It's a ribeye steak, the knife went through it like butter.
