Iron Chef Easter: Announcement and Discussion

i think you got it spot on Keith.
mrs RETARD and i were just talking about making that one.

 

.....a great variety of fantastic dishes I think! Good luck all!

 

Alright! All done... some fantastic recipes in there this time around, there's a few dishes there that I'll be appropriating into my repertoire. Thanks again for the chance to play!

 

Apologies boys and girls -ran out of time to sort through the photos and post mine last night (had I known that qantas were going to delay my flight for 4 hours this morning I perhaps would have stayed up, but what can you do!)

As always you are all awesome (as are your dishes) so I promise to get more involved next time. (if it happens while i'm in the US I'll have to get bonus points for using my hotel sized kitchen!!)

 

Unfortunate that you missed the deadline Tekin ... maybe you could post your entry here so that we can have a look?

 

Nice work on the entries, guys! I will post the voting thread tomorrow.

 

I found a few of the missing culprits ....
a bit too late but something of interest none the less.
The meat was cooked in the Webber. No shots of that yet.
It was a hands on, everyone help themselves, kind of meal.
The kind of meal where you all sit and chat and feel very content afterwards.


Making some Chimmi Churri for the Leg of Lamb - for a marinade and to serve.






Some BBQ sauce to marinade the chicken thighs in.




2.5Kg Leg of Lamb






Mmm Pork Belly Nipples - cooked in the weber but finished under the grill, seasoned simply in olive oil, salt, and squeezed lemon.


Roast Veg included: Egg plant, Potatoes, Carrots, Onions, Capsicum, Butternut. Seasoned with fruity Olive Oil salt, pepper & fresh grated garlic.
There were 2 of these baking in the oven whilst the weber did its thing.


Getting the spinach & Green beans ready.
Fresh Spinach from the garden


Green beans slowly cooked in EVOO & grated garlic, then tossed through with the wilted spinach, salt and pepper.






Crackling didn't last long.




And my entry which wasn't lost by an iPhone update


An easter visitor, who sadly had to sit outside.

 

The voting thread is up and the hot cross wellingtons are off to a flying start!!!

 

I made my vote, I just wanted to eat all of it though! Thanks for the great food porn guys, is much appreciated

 

Voting closes tonight so don't forget to get your votes in.

 

From Iron Chef to wooden spoon! Sigh I will never live this down!!

 

Congratulations to Jidaigeki with his dish Hot Cross Lamb Wellington for winning the OCAU Easter Iron chef by popular vote!

Well done to all the entrants on putting up some impressive dishes.

 

Congratulations Jidaigeki fantastic effort.

Some lovely dishes again this round.

 

Great work Jidaigeki - excellent application of the theme and it looked so damn tasty. Everyone did well this time around - a couple more entries too which was good but we need more... MORE!!!

 

Yeah, Jidaigeki is a deserving winner Hot cross wellingtons ... seems so obvious now!

 

Congratuations Jidaigeki! Great dish.

 

Thanks guys, all the dishes would have been worthy winners! it was humbling to win. And thanks to the admins for running the comp too.

Looking forward to the next battle in OCAU Kitchen Stadium

 

Admins don't run the competition JidaiGeki, members do. A few of our members have been running this competition for some time now.

 

^ While that is true, Ma Baker puts in a lot of work behind the scenes to make sure it all runs smoothly.
Speaking of which, thaks Ma for giving Jidaigeki his title, I never got around to asking!

Is everyone down on the next Iron Chef happening in early July? I think it is annual Bake-Off time around then!

 

No problem at all.
