What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[8115]

Pasta with tomato sauce and parmesan.

 

[not-bono-ever]

pre cooked moroccan root veg stew topped with crumbled falafel and baked until crispy

 

[Badgers]

Having 'use stuff up' pasta pesto bake here. Dumped unceremoniously on a load of spinach and eaten with a spoon.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Veg pasta bake thing, and a half a pound of tomatoes.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Slow cooked beef short ribs with wine , mashed horseradish potato and cabbage . Saw the ribs in a local butchers so thought I’ll give them a try .

That sounds amazing

Just me tonight, so it will here's one I've prepared early from the freezer.

Getting the pressure cooker out to make a chilli base. Don't know if anyone else does this? Years ago someone showed me that if you added a small tin of refried beans to a chilli it takes to the next level, but they are expensive and I've come up with something better. A load of black eyed beans cooked with tomato, cumin seeds, stock, garlic and onions and Worcestershire sauce. I'm doing a big veggie chilli for her tomorrow tonight, so it will be ready for that, but also have a few portions in the freezer for when I make one my silly hot beef ones.

 

[Looby]

I knew I was going to be hungover and yesterday bought everything needed for a roast. There’s a ridiculous amount of food. Roast beef, Yorkshires, stuffing, broccoli, carrots, baked onions and potatoes and shitloads of gravy and mustard. Can’t wait.

There are also raspberry tarts from v day if we have room.

 

[fishfinger]

Chicken thighs in a citrus and honey sauce with rice.

 

[moonsi til]

Garlic roast potatoes, veggie meatballs in a tomato sauce with kidney beans & salad.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Tea number three was two seedy wholemeal pittas with cheese and a bunch of spring onions chopped up.

I make my own refried beans - and freeze them in batches at the point where I have mashed them and got them to the right consistency - works out a lot cheaper than buying tins and a whole lot nicer - I usually serve them on the side after frying in butter, but they would work well in a chilli

They are lovely aren't they. I also make them, but this is tweaked slightly to be a great chilli base. Although now you've mentioned it I'll have to see if I've got any Pinto beans and make a batch tomorrow. Would be nice to serve along side the chilli and I've got a stupid amount of garlic to use up.

 

[UrbaneFox]

I haven't made refried beans for years, but since you have reminded me...

 

[Epona]

I did a mushroom risotto which was very nice - been ages since I made risotto, my cooking preferences tend more towards dishes that don't require much standing at the cooker

 

[sojourner]

I just buy a tin of own brand refried beans Always put them in a 3 bean chilli, not the same without.

Anyhoo, I'm gonna make a vast pot of leek and potato soup tonight, with plenty of good salted butter in it, and have with garrrrrlic bread.

Small portion of the cheesecake left, so that, and eating up the leftover choccy.

 

[colacubes]

Last night was fish pie. It ended up including salmon and fish fingers as the white fish we had to go in it smelt a bit ropey. It was surprisingly tasty More of the same tonight with purple sprouting broccoli on the side.

 

[BoatieBird]

Last night was gammon, roast potatoes, cauli cheese and steamed carrots/sprouts/cabbage.

Tonight it's pork tenderloin, bang-bang cauliflower, roasted mushrooms and steamed tenderstem broccoli.
Something carby - rice or new potatoes - for the menfolk.

 

[Badgers]

Some leftover rice and grains with leftovers chucked in it

 

[Mrs Miggins]

The other half of the pizza I drunkenly ordered last night....ugh

[May Kasahara]

Nothing much so far as I had a fucking massive Nando's for lunch.

 

[RubyToogood]

Roasted parsnips and veggie sausages with a bit of maple syrup glaze, peas, onion gravy.
Last night was salmon teriyaki bento meal but with edamame beans substituted for the pointless salad.

 

[Orang Utan]

Feijoada with vinaigrette salsa

 

[Epona]

Feijoada with vinaigrette salsa

I had to look that up, sounds awesome

 

[BoatieBird]

I have to google lots of things that Orang Utan has for his tea
It's great, I love learning about new foods

Tonight we've got hot smoked salmon, will probably do some sort of veg heavy couscous salad to go with it.

 

[sojourner]

Off out to drum class, so quick tea of veggie soup (made Sunday) and garlic bread.

Belgian choc cake and a decaff tea for afters.

 

[Badgers]

Really want pizza tonight. Partly because I always want pizza but also feeling lazy and going to be watching the footy later.

Skint though and trying to be healthy

 

[Baronage-Phase]

A huge bowl of cauliflower cheese.

 

[Badgers]

Fried up with some onions and chucking in a wrap with some jalapeños.
