sausage making & makan 2.0

today was sausage making day, but i wasn't invited cos Big D thought i got no Gmail account =_= so by the time i woke up, sausage making had already started half way!

the sausages - Cajun


sausage maker & the string lady


this time, this machine was used


watch this documentary on why this is good


close up on shit sausage making



mummy insisted i take pic of this "thing of the pass"


so anyway, since we had sausage, again it was my duty to make a meal out of em... i spent the night before picking my brain (aka Google) on different side dishes which would go with sausages using existing ingredients in my house.

finally decided on braised cabbage, never knew mat salleh ppl eat cabbage as a non salad-ish dish ok...


i got the yellow pepper from last week, better finish it even if the recipe dun call for it!


super easy - dump the carrots & onions on the arranged cabbage, add EVOO, chic stock, S&P


a tonne of onions


caramelized onions - yumm!!!


this is for risotto


mushroom risotto


shen ai's risotto rice - usually risotto is super hard work, stirring & spooning etc...


O, the cabbage - bake for 2 hours, turning in between, remove foil & bake for 15 mins


it'll look like this & taste fantastic! season to taste & add a splash of balsamic vinegar


back to my risotto - it's super easy! just dump everything in...


add boiling stock - 1 cup risotto : 2.5 cups stock - bake for 30 - 45 mins


i didn't burn them this time, nyekekekek!!!


dinner is served! mix in some herbs in the risotto & sprinkle pine nuts & cheese on it :-)


superb combination! i added honey & garlic to the sauce since the sausage was spicy...


wow! we finished all the risotto man! lol


& Big D finished all the rest of the food, keheheh...

it was delicious & this time, i cooked just nice as there were amazingly NO LEFT OVERS!!! lol... everytime, no matter how yummy the food is, no matter how hard we try, there will always be left overs, but not today! & mummy loves my risotto cos she says it's not jelaking ^.^v
