Okay… This is kind of hard for me. I never liked Jamie Oliver. I think it’s just his face. Or his attitude. Or a combination of both? I don’t know. Just seeing him on TV makes me want to hurt myself or others (preferably Jamie of course) in many ways. But some days ago I found this Jamie Oliver Recipe at seasaltwithfood, tried it and actually… I really liked it. There’s one Thing I know for sure: It’s not easy to accept and/or admit that.
But it’s true. This dish is such a great and hearty pasta dish, that just makes you want to eat a whole pot and die happily afterwards. The Lemon in the sauce is a nice contrast to the uber-savory taste of the pork sausage. Perfect balance, that just makes you eat more of that stuff.
P.S.: I’m not saying he’s a bad cook or anything. I mean, who am I to say something like that?! I just (still) can’t stand him. Cheers!

Imagine the following situation: It’s Sunday, you’re hungry and you ate almost everything you have for cooking a proper dinner/lunch/whatever. You can’t go buy stuff because all the shops are closed. The only things you have left are some eggs and random vegetables. Why not make a beautiful and delicious frittata?
You can use tomatoes, zucchini, onion, mushrooms, fish, meat, bacon and so much more… It’s perfect! You just whip up eggs with some salt and pepper, fry the filling in an oven proof pan, pour eggs on top of it, sprinkle with some cheese and put it in the oven for 5 minutes. Done.
And you can give it any flavor you want. Isn’t that just fantastic? And the leftovers are even better!

Okay, here’s just a quick post with a pretty picture of deep fried pork skin. I tried David Changs method and even though he says drying the skin in the oven is unreliable, it turned out to work great for me.
The taste of the deep fried crunchy pieces for themselves is kind of neutral and just a little bit pork-ish, but once you give them a little flavor with japanese 7 spice powder the thing gets more interesting. The fat brings out the flavor of the spice and suddenly it’s a great snack. I will definitely have to try to put it on other food, like croutons or something.
