What did you cook or eat today (June 2025)?

Chicken and wasabi herb mayo sandwich (which is better on toast so thats what I did) with cucumber, radish, asparagus, toasted pine nuts and thyme chicken crackling.

Trying to clear out my freezer of odds and ends so I put random bits of poultry meat, offcuts and skin (plus bacon) together into these roulades like my 'Turducken' thing I did at Christmas. They came out pretty well and this time I realised I didn't need to tie them with string, since after the sous vide stage, they will hold their shape for the frying part.

Here they after a couple of hours in the freezer which makes them stay intact when removing the clingfilm they're rolled in. Then it's a sous vide bath for 7 hours at 62C.

After their bath it's a 4 min fry to golden them up.

Ooh yeah. Going by the texture I do wonder if deli-style turkey breast is cooked sous vide....? It came out really tender and with that texture and mmm-moistness that is 'just so'. I also sharpened my knives so got some nice clean slices without the skin or bacon tearing.

Its elegance has been elevated immeasurably by the inclusion of frozen peas and corn because I was too lazy to do some 'proper' veg side...
