You guys!!! I'm still on my cowboy butter kick and I've got a batch in the fridge. It's a compound butter and it keeps. I've using it for this and that, and the other day I had some leftover eggs that I used in an egg wash. I didn't want to throw out the eggs so I mixed in some cowboy butter and voila! Cowboy butter scrambled eggs. It was super easy, but if you want the recipe for that, let me know. But today, I'm here to talk about using the cowboy butter with prawns which I cooked up for a quick evening snack. Took about 10 minutes all up to make, so this is FAST. And oh so yummy!!

Cowboy butter prawns with konjac noodles
You guys!!! I'm still on my cowboy butter kick and I've got a batch in the fridge. It's a compound butter and it keeps.

Portuguese francesinha sandwich
This was my first attempt at Portuguese food. I thought, oh, it's a sandwich, it can't be that hard to make. Well, it's a LOT of sandwich and the sauce is epic, but took some effort. Otherwise, yeah, it's not that hard. This is a very iconic Portuguese dish and I'm convinced whoever invented it was looking for a cure for a massive hangover after a big night out.

Cataplana Portuguese seafood stew
I'm on a cooking adventure and progressively learning to cook some Portuguese dishes. My first attempt was the Francesinha sandwich that I'm convinced was invented by someone who needed a hangover cure. I can share that recipe another day. But for today, this was my second attempt and it turned out stunningly delicious. It's a Cataplana which is a Portuguese seafood stew.

Cowboy butter salad dressing
After I made the cowboy butter the other day to go with the tomahawk steak we had for lunch, we still had A LOT of steak leftover. Two people cannot eat 2 kilos of steak. It's just not physically possible for us. Anyway, with the leftover steak, I decided to use it in a salad and turn the cowboy butter into a creamy salad dressing. Yum! And it's super easy.

Cowboy butter and dipping sauce (apparently it's a viral thing)
I didn't know there was such a thing as Cowboy Butter until I tried it with prawns at our local pub. The pub has just been taken over by some new owners and the prawns in cowboy butter was a new side dish on the menu. Yum! Then I did a search and found out that apparently this was viral on the clock app about a year ago. Since I have a hate-hate relationship with that app, I had no clue. I am not what you'd call a trendy person. Good thing the new owners of our local pub are. I'm making it today to go over a tomahawk steak we got from our local butcher, so decided to throw up the recipe on the website. Enjoy!

Slow cooked braised garlic chicken UPDATED
My original braised garlic chicken from a decade ago has been super popular over the years and each time I make it, I get asked for the recipe. I've tweaked and updated the recipe from the original, so I thought I had better update the recipe on the website too. You won't find me blathering on an on (one of the few places I don't!) so let's get right onto the recipe.

How to use calcium propionate in sauce
I have been looking for
something to extend the shelf life of my sauces and came across calcium propionate. It's predominantly found in
breads and baked goods as a preservative to inhibit or slow down the
growth of mold and prevent spoilage, but can also be used in dairy,
beverages, alcoholic drinks, and processed meats. It is also used in
sauces, jellies, and jams, etc.
