What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[purenarcotic]

Just had sliced mango with sea salt and chilli flakes sprinkled on it, just like my mum used to give me when I lived at home.

Edit: I also had quinoa with many salady bits and lime, chilli and cumin dressing.

I am going to buy some mango tomorrow and try that, sounds amazing.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Fresh garlic is such a different beast. I know that stuff frying things with a roast isn't traditional, but hey, need to find a way to use these beetroot stems. Should add a nice flavour to the kale and cabbage.

It's even better with unripe mango cos then you get the sour taste too. If it's too sour you can add a little sugar

 

[Rebelda]

Rice and moong dal. So so good, I could eat the whole panful. Almond milk salted caramel ice cream for after.

 

[sojourner]

Cor mango - I need to get some of that too! Had it for the first time last year and mmmmm it is spot fucking on in this heat.

Anyway, we are having potato salad (no chives or spring onions - couldn't find any round here or where I live), with sliced red onion and rocket mixed in instead. Will make a cheesy homelette to go with, tomato salad, and green salad.

Magnums for afters.

 

[neonwilderness]

Cold beer and something from the pub (considering a burger or fish and chips)

Just as soon as I can be arsed to get changed and walk back into town

 

[BoatieBird]

Lamb steaks cooked on the BBQ.
Potato salad, foiled baked asparagus with loads of butter, salad.

 

[colacubes]

Lamb steaks here too with new potatoes (from the garden ) and carrots.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Vat of couscous with chilli, basil, oregano, sweetcorn, spinach and tomatoes.

 

[Orang Utan]

bacon and bean gratin

 

[Thimble Queen]

Filled pasta with pesto and garlicky nreadt

 

[moonsi til]

Really struggled with tonight's dinner. Settled on veggie fish fingers, oven chips & salad.

First time having the fishless fingers.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I'm back at work and cooked toad in the hole. I think I've eaten to much and with the heat I've gone totally sluggish. I still have several more hours left to do.

 

[RubyToogood]

Thin crispy fried halloumi, potato salad made with half yoghurt and half mayo, spinach/watercress/rocket salad.

Might have sunberries and yoghurt in a bit.

This again basically but with different greenery and some griddled peppers. Yesterday's crop of sunberries went in the freezer so they might get turned into magic ice cream.

 

[gentlegreen]

Stir-fry onion, garlic, broccoli, mushrooms, pepper, grated carrot, sprouted mung beans, shoyu, tahini - all washed down with Aldi's very wonderful "Terasses du Larzac" 2015.
The slightly richer food I'm eating now can easily take the fullness of this wine.

I think the next stage is adding thyme and sage - I will try to pick up some plants this weekend. I may even stick some basil plants in my bathroom hydro tank

 

[mrsfran]

Not only did I make the dough for this, I made the goddamn mozzarella. Yas bitches, I'm a cheesemaker.

 

[Orang Utan]

Not only did I make the dough for this, I made the goddamn mozzarella. Yas bitches, I'm a cheesemaker.

And blessed are you

 

[moose]

Veggie sausage rolls, roast spuds, roasted vegetables. What kind of maniac buys a tea that needs an oven at 230˚ for half an hour?

 

[Rebelda]

Red pepper, scotch bonnet, mushroom and paprika omelette. Salad. Then some ham and olives a bit later.

 

[purenarcotic]

Chicken drumsticks and salad. Discovering that fan ovens cook ridiculously fast.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Not only did I make the dough for this, I made the goddamn mozzarella. Yas bitches, I'm a cheesemaker.

That's bloody impressive skilz

And with pineapple.

 

[ringo]

I did an enormous macaroni cheese with mushrooms cooked in the sauce and cherry tomatoes on the top, with steamed broccoli.

Tonight I am having tea cooked for me - pasta with tomato sauce and mozzarella.

 

[Orang Utan]

pancetta and parmesan risotto

 

[sojourner]

Are you not cooked through eating risotto in this heat OU?!

Then again, we're on pasta in tomato and chilli sauce tonight, with black olives and feta mixed in. Will have salad with it though.

Magnums nomnom for afters

 

[Orang Utan]

Are you not cooked through eating risotto in this heat OU?!

No. Never understood why you're supposed to eat cold food when it's hot.
It's not very hot today anyway

 

[Looby]

No. Never understood why you're supposed to eat cold food when it's hot.
It's not very hot today anyway

I don't mind eating hot food, I just don't want to cook it.

It's ridiculously hot here today, I'm melting at work. 29 at the moment.
No idea what to eat tonight, I've got mince to use but I'm not making chill or bolognese in this weather. I quite fancy a cheese and beetroot baguette.

 

[Rebelda]

I think I'm going to stir fry a load of veg and some turkey steak.

I might offer chips and nuggets to the small and avoid the kitchen while the oven's on.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Final remnants of the veg couscous with a jar of tomatoes in oil.

 

[Voley]

Are you not cooked through eating risotto in this heat OU?!

I'm having a Chicken Madras. Ben and Jerry's Cookie dough ice cream after mind.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Cheese bap and unsatisfying salad
