Beowolf 3D!!! The Best!

 

 Just got back from the cinema!!! WOW, you gotta go and watch BeoWolf In digital 3D, it was amazing. To get the full effect of the film you must watch it through the 3d glasses, they cost a £1 each, they look like sunglasses and fit really well. The special effects on the film are great and you feel all of the screen jumping out at you!! When it snows , you can also feel the flakes on your skin! The story is set in Denmark and its the tale of Vikings and their battles. It is  an excellent must see film!!

I am making Nigella’s maple chicken and ribs, with jackets for tea, so will let you know how it was later. I was thinking of trying Nigella’s lamb and olive tangine next week, here’s the recipe: 

Like all stews, this benefits from being cooked in advance, so it makes sense to cook this on a day when you’ve got time and reheat it when you’re in more of a hurry.

Ingredients
1kg/2lb 3¼oz leg of lamb, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 garlic bulb, separated into cloves, but unpeeled
1 x 350g/12oz can pitted black olives in brine, rinsed and drained to give 150g/5oz drained weight
100g/3½oz caramelised onions, from a jar
4 tbsp capers, rinsed and drained
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground ginger
1 x 75cl bottle red wine
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2.
2. Place all of the ingredients into a lidded casserole or heavy-based ovenproof pan, pouring in the wine last and giving everything a good stir.
3. Bring to the boil, then clamp on the lid and transfer to the oven. Cook for two hours, or until the lamb is very tender.
4. The quickest, and most suitable, accompaniment would be a bowl of couscous, pale and plain or studded with a can or two of chickpeas
