The cooking thread

Yesterday's lunch: Pork steak (crumbed with fresh lemon thyme, oregano, and a little salt, olive oil and lemon juice), with (I don't know what it's called but kind of middle-eastern/Morrocan?) carrot and tomato (grated onion, garlic a dash of wine, grated carrot, diced tomatoes, cumin, white pepper and a dollop of roast red pepper paste) served on toast.

...and dinner: Stir fried veg with noodles (and lightly roasted cashews), and sweet-chilli/cashew paste chicken drumsticks. Stir-fry was okay but not great (bit too much liquid so the veg overcooked a touch, but will still make for easy leftovers).

Dry brine for the win on so many things @rextheute ! I do it for chicken, fuck, beef, lamb, venison, pork...pretty much any meat.

Before I read the recipe you linked to, based off the image I was expecting to see cornflakes in the dredge! Looks like some tasty hints in there. I'd not considered cinnamon on chicken before!
 
I age my steak for a couple of days with pepper & kosher salt in the fridge, on a cake tray for ventilation.
Cheap cuts transform to top shelf.
