Hey Frank

Boss just got home and said the following, probably too late but maybe for next time.

For 2 kilos of meat

1. Place meat in a tray that can hold water

2. Put 3 cups of water

3. Put 1/2 cup of olive oil

4. Juice from a couple of lemons

5. 2 tablespoons of oregano

6. Sat and pepper

7. About 6 slots all over and insert cleaned garlic gloves in the slots

8. Place silver paper over roast/tray and cook for about 1-1/2 hours or test to your liking

9. Take tray out add potato and other vegies whatever you like

10. Cover with silver paper again put in oven and cook until vegies ready

Note you might have to add some more water like 1/2 a cup.

When you take it out sprinkle with olive oil and lemon juice then it's ready to serve.

Thanks, I'll do that.
I have a one kilo piece of beef eye fillet so I will reduce the oven time to about one hour. Will do thee 'hide the garlic in the slots', too.... AND I am doing the garlicky mash, too.

Sounds good, let us know how you go.

We had olive oil and garlic with a side of eye fillet and roast vegies. All disappeared. Blood pressure down in the low 40s....

By the thunderbolts of zeus mate, you’re not supposed to eat the garlic mash like normal potato mash FFS it’s more of an appetizer.

I hope you’re ok you got me worried now....?!?!

Boss is making it tonight.

It doesn't get the tender loving care it would on the week end cause everything is rushed.

I'm helping her cause she just got home from work.

She was still getting more water to put in the tray, she showered it with olive oil, oregano salt and garlic.

She then covered it with non stick baking paper and silver paper on top and then she slotted the silver paper and the paper.

will post when ready to eat...... Wink

OOPS I'm a silly duffa its non stick baking paper.

Boss pre boiled the potatoes and then she placed them in the tray with the meat and she grated some garlic over everything and then put some salt, pepper olive oil and rosemary.

Now it goes back in the oven until the potatoes are done.

The salad is ready but seasoning will go on just prior to eating, olive oil and salt.

Well that's me, I'm outta here....saliva is already running with the smell...... Cool

The salad

Awesome recipes Ajax thank you, but tell me? How do you serve potato mash as an appetiser? If you have it that way what do you serve it with?

I used to make a similar mash with grated cheese and a touch of cumin. I would scoop out the flesh and make the mash then put it back into the potato skins and grill or bake it til the cheese melted. MMmmmmm.

Hi Black Orchid

Thanks for that but its the boss who has all the knowledge, I'll pass it on, I'm pretty hopeless in the kitchen and just a TA.

I cant say I've heard of cumin but it sounds delicious the way you make it.

As for the skordalia,

It can be served simple or with some effort,

Simple:

Could be dipping bread or savoy crackers or even celery, carrot, radish sticks etc. etc.

Some effort:

Make bruschetta with skordalia as base, cheese salami olives or whatever etc. etc.

OR

Leave out the ingredients for people to make their own hors d'oeuvres.

I hope you’re ok you got me worried now....?!?!

I am going to suggest an improvement. When I roast vegetables I roast a lot of garlic cloves by chopping the top of the bulb off, adding salt and olive oil and roasting it until soft and easy to squeeze out from the skin.
I am going to add a load of this to my mash, add olive oil and water so it's nice and soft and not quite runny. The starch of the spuds will be the vehicle for the roasted and caramelised garlic and oil and a rub of lemon skin and sprinkle of Romano cheese, chives and parsley.

Am I going in the right direction or is this the way to perdition?
