Go to a pottery supply shop and buy a " kiln shelf ", available in many sizes and not prone to cracking due to thermal shock. heat in the oven for 1/2 hour prior to cooking.

This is my knock off of "Tan Tan Noodle" first tasted in December 2008 when cooked by Iron Chef Chen Kenichi at the Iron chef dinner in Sydney



Original dish here:


This is a Pork Bolognaise I made with bread chunks and chilli. Bread crumb and chunks sound weird with pasta (carb on carb) but dont knock it till you have tried it!

I don't have pictures, but I made some home made sausage rolls last night.

Here is a very rough and ready recipe.

Grab a decent amount of sausage mince
Put it in a big bowl, chop up some fresh herbs and put into the mince and mix in good with your hands.
Add some chilli flakes and pepper (I opted for black powdered pepper)
Add a few drops of hot chilli sauce ( I opted for some Chilli Willies 'Bottoming Inferno')

Grab out some puff pasty sheets and melt some butter to weld the edges of the sheets after you roll them.
Grab some of the mince mix and spread it along the pastry, about 2 inches wide by about 1inch thick.
BEFORE rolling them, make a small channel in the mince and put a line of sweet chilli sauce into it.
Roll the bugga up.

Once you are all done, pre-heat the oven to prob 180ish, throw the rolls in and bake until the pastry goes golden brown.

Serve up with some dipping sauce of your choice. I chose some Nandos Extra Hot peri peri.

Pics would help, but...I didn't take any! :

[Iggypoppin']

sounds awesome xr6 661, seeing as parents are away for a bit, ima give that one a whirl tonight. Rep coming your way too

[XR6_661]

How'd you go iggy?

[Iggypoppin']

I altered it a bit. Used a bit of "Pappy's Moonshine Madness" with the mince mixture, and was a little heavy handed on the chilli flakes and paprika. The channel in the mince I filled with nandos extra hot sauce, and whammo- blew my brothers head off. Me, I love hot food so I scarfed them down, loved them mate. Wish I could give more rep! Thankyou heaps!

[XR6_661]

Good stuff!!

I loved hot food too, but had to cook my batch for me and the missus...

I think I'll make some more with some nandos extra hot sauce and lashings of chilli willies in the mince mix!

I'm also thinking of toying with my next idea;

Wrap the mince mix in a rasher of bacon first, then the puff pastry.

Might give it a crack tonight!

[TURBOTAXI]

Who is game to try a mexican habanero for a bit of a thrill? I eat chilli everyday, but these things made me cry and leak fluids from every hole in my face.

I can arrange a sample if anyone wants a go? I dont want to be sending out a dozen though lol.
