Carnivore #6 : Dark Chocolate

Dark Chocolate



2 ingredients :


butter / 1 block


cacao powder / 1 tbsp




Optional



creamier 

add milk powder / 1 tbsp



sweeter 

add raw honey / drizzle

at own discretion



flavour and aroma

add vanilla essence / 1 tsp


Step 1 : Melt the butter.


I'm using the rice cooker.


Here are the chocolate moulds.


My cacao powder just arrived

the day before.


The butter is melting.


Stir gently ...


Bubbles are forming and dancing

about in the pot.


Keep stirring in slow,

steady movements.



The butter is browning.



I can see tiny dots of

brown sediments at the bottom.



The cooker turns off

at this point.



About 10 minutes later

from the start.


Step 2 : Add the cacao powder.


Add the options here too, 

if any.


1 tbsp of cacao powder.


Stir and mix well.



Leave the mixture to cool down

for say, half an hour.


Step 3 : Mould and Freeze.


Half an hour later ...


Pour the mixture into

the moulds.


We should have enough

chocolate-mix to fill 2 bars.


In the freezer.



Check the chocolate

in 2 hour's time.



Or the next morning.



Tick tock, tick tock.


2 hours later.



Ahhh! 



How did I manage to do that?



One dark and one caramel.



The dark one probably got

all the brown sediments

that were left at the bottom

 of the cooker-pot.


Break them into squares

and keep them in ...


an air-tight container.


Twist the seasalt grinder

over the chocolates for

an enhanced look and taste.



Enjoy. 



One a day,

keeps the blues away.

Carnivore #5 : Kopitiam Breakfast


Kopitiam Breakfast.



3 items :



Eggs



Bread



Coffee


#1. Soft-boil 2 eggs.


Run tap water over the eggs

to prevent the shells

from cracking upon

contact with hot water. 


#2 : Toast the bread.


This is the Carnivore

Bread Loaf we made

two days ago.


There is a marker on this

egg devise to indicate

how much hot water

to pour in for 2 eggs.


The eggs are ready.


#3 : Coffee.


I am adding milk powder

and a bit of cream.



Ran out of fresh milk.


My kopitiam breakfast.


Turns out, the eggs are ...


not that soft-boiled.



Still good.



Add shoyu and pepper.


Super awesome.


Every mini bite is ...


omg ...



(close eyes) ...



amazing.


So so good and satisfying.

Carnivore #4 : Oven-Baked Lamb Chops


Oven-Baked Lamb Chops.


The 3 Steps :


Rinse.


Dry.


Bake.



A tray of lamb chops.


Step 1 : Rinse the lamb.


I don't know where

this lamb has been.


A quick rinse

gives me

peace of mind.


Step 2 : Dry the lamb.


Pat dry with a kitchen towel.


Step 3 : Bake the lamb.


Grease the oven dish.


I am using beef tallow

from previous grill. 


Lay the chops.


Add seasalt.


Add pepper.


Add paprika.


Top with butter.


Oven at 200c @ 30 mins.


No preheat.


No initial sear.


20 mins : one side


10 mins : the other side


At 20 minutes.


Flip the chops over

and repeat the seasalt, 

pepper and paprika.


Only this time ...


spoon the melted butter and juices ...


all over the chops.



Generously.



Pop the tray back

into the oven.



For the second side,

I move the oven rack

up one level

to get a crispier texture.



Tick tock, tick tock.



10 minutes later.


Ahh. 


The chops are ready.


I prepared the eggs while waiting.


Can you see the bread we made

the day before? Lol. 


Ooooohhhh! 


Let's tuck in. 

Hmmm. 


Munching slowly.


Savouring every bite.


So so so ...  satiating.
