dfunked Go on: you’ve piqued my interest! Walk me through it, if you have a moment. I’m always on the lookout for new one pot ideas. It’s pork hotpot in our Instant Pot tonight.

In fairness I did my usual thing of vaguely following a recipe the first time and then just winging it. The below is pretty close to what I did, just without the prawns. www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/slow_cooker_jambalaya/4 celery sticks, a large red pepper, medium onion all cut pretty chunky. Diced chorizo, chunks of chicken thigh (4), minced garlic, a decent squeeze of tomato puree. A tin of plum tomatoes all squished up. About a pint of chicken stock (500ml but I also rinsed the tinned toms out with a bit of water) Oh, and some bay leaves. My spice mix probably wasn't at all authentic and had a heavier focus on smoked paprika (love it!) with a bit of cayenne for spice and some fennel seeds for good measure (whacked it in the coffee grinder to break those up a bit) I didn't pre-cook any of it, just bung it all in the crock pot, give it a good stir and then leave it on low for 7-8 hours. Stuck a mugfull (about 330ml I think) of long grain rice in and gave it a good stir and turned up to high for about 40 mins (stirring a couple of times) It's only eaten by me btw, so not a huge amount for a family but probably 3-4 decent sized helpings for me. |

Waitrose beans and Waitrose bread. He lives in New Zealand, I don't think they have Waitrose and suspect that "posh" there means using cutlery. |

I just love the convenience of roughly chopping stuff and chucking everybody in the pool at midday and coming back 7-8 hours later to bung some rice in. The smell later in the afternoon is something else! User Dfunked a cannibal confirmed! |

Saucisse de Morteau and potato's. Can't wait but regret not having any reblochon to make a cheese sauce to go with it.
That said the bottle of Beaujolais nouveau will go alright with it.

Ha, well Mrs Fox is French and after 10 years of looking we finally found a shop in Spain that has the saucisse which is a family favourite. So we ordered a little care package with wine, ravioles, decent cordial and stuff.
Will order again soon.

Fridge was a bit empty so 1980s dinner it is.  Cheese omelette, french fries, beans with a side of buttered bread. Should have got some orange squash out. |

Those beans look a bit close to the edge. Was there a puddle of them on the tea towel?

They were too close to the edge for my liking! But luckily I created a bread barrier before any damage was done.

It was divine, complete peasant food but my gosh it was good one pot cooking. |

Moving the eggs around until it's nearly set is a game changer for omelettes btw. I'm a fairly recent convert as I used to do it 1980s style like the above too.
It's so satisfying turning out a perfectly cooked one without a hint of browning.

The lack of fish fingers is disappointing but I'm pulling my weight by having fish fingers, chips and beans.

This seems like a cry for help. Is there a message encoded in the brand? Cubby, are you being held against your will? Post a pukka pie if you need us to call 999
