What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Kasper Jonran]

Wild boar burgers with chilli and fries tonight at a friends cook out after a bit of sailing. Nice evening for it too.

 

[Zorra]

Fried chicken with homemade coleslaw, potato salad and tomato/mozarella/basil salad. Raspberry and chocolate muffins for afters, made with the help of the small girl.

 

[20Bees]

Breaded chicken goujons (yellow stickered at work!) with salad leaves from the garden, cherry tomatoes and ricotta stuffed cherry peppers, follows by mango and raspberries with vanilla ice cream.

 

[Aladdin]

Chicken curry that was meant to be relatively mild but an accidental overdose of chilli hurled it into the realms of very hot.
It was excellent, if I say so myself.
Not a dry nose in the house.


Followed obviously, by an ice cream and wafer sandwich.

 

[Marty1]

Pizza and chips.

Pizza was nice but chips were bland - had to salt them and add tomato sauce to add flavour.

 

[sojourner]

Broccoli (with Dijon mustard stirred in), spring onion and extra mature cheddar frittata, with watercress/rocket/spinach salad, and either spicy wedges or couscous.

Tiramisu and blueberries for afters. Yes, I know I have the same afters all the time.

 

[Aladdin]

Left over chicken curry.
I've got to stop making huge portions.

 

[gentlegreen]

over-ripe broccoli with the mouldy bits chopped off
carrot with the maggots cut out
mushrooms
canned tomatoes, beans, soup
I forgot to buy red onions, so a couple of cloves of garlic. miso...

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Sardines on toast.

 

[Saffy]

Turkey chilli, rice and roasted veg.

Going to have some red grapes and feta for pudding. Maybe a Freddo as well.

 

[Looby]

The roast we were supposed to have yesterday. Delicious roast beef, potatoes, yorkshires, stuffing, baked onions, carrots and broccoli.

It was so good.

 

[Epona]

Sweet & sour - prawns for him, pork for me. Mushroom and broccoli stir fry. Egg fried rice.

Just cooking the rice now ready to fry later and wondering how the fuck I am going to fit all the rest of it on the stove

 

[RubyToogood]

Remains of yesterday's black bean chilli thing which was supposed to have kale but they didn't send the kale so I put frozen spinach in, with rice.
Flat peach and a satsuma for pudding.

I've paused the recipe box as it was starting to feel a bit relentless. I could go down to fewer meals but then the cost per meal is higher. Just got this week's to come.

I think I'd try Gousto next time as they have a lot more veggie choices. With Hello Fresh the veggie meals ended up being mostly beany Mexican things. Nice, but wouldn't be my first choice. Plus they've left out an essential ingredient two weeks in a row and if I still have to go to the shops it's pointless.

 

[Zorra]

Unseasonal beef and ale pie with mash and broccoli. Made the pie filling in the slow cooker at the weekend so it was just an assembly job tonight.

 

[Espresso]

It was too hot for dinner, so I had jelly and ice cream.
I am six in my head, you know.

 

[neonwilderness]

Fish finger sandwich

 

[LeytonCatLady]

I approve wholeheartedly!

 

[Bwark]

Had a really decent chicken Kiev. I don't think you can find a decent one in the shop. Real chicken, real homemade Beurre Maître d'Hôtel deep fried with a mixed leaf salad and coleslaw. No additional carbs needed. Filled to the max

 

[moose]

Mushroom arancini with tomato/chilli sauce, wedges, salad. Biscoff ice cream.

 

[Bwark]

Arancini.. Ambrosia..food of the gods

 

[Epona]

Reporting back on the sweet & sour - it was really good, although as usual a struggle with only 3 working hobs - I had to keep some components warm in the oven while cooking others. Prawns for Nate were battered and fried first then I put them to keep warm while I did my pork in the same oil - so there was no contamination of his meal.

OMG can I just say Iceland pork medallions from their fresh meat range (and part of their 3 for £8 deal - there are 4 in a pack and I was greedy and used 2, a pack would feed 4 in this dish with sides though) are perfect for this, I just sliced into thin strips and coated in a simple egg/cornflour batter and then fried for a few minutes and it turned out perfect melt in the mouth tender and a little crispy batter at the edges, will definitely do again.

I do the sauce 3:4 sugar:rice vinegar plus tomato puree or ketchup, thickened with 2 tablespoons of cornflower in a bit cold water then heated until it thickens. Splash of light soy sauce or sesame oil goes nicely but isn't strictly necessary.

 

[Badgers]

Bratwursts
Diced up with some rice and Kale

 

[BoatieBird]

Last night was chilli topped potato wedges.

I've got some leftover brisket to use for tonight's dinner, might do a fried rice type thing.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

A couple of Irish Richmond sausages with potatoes, broccoli and carrots.

 

[sojourner]

Left over chicken curry.
I've got to stop making huge portions.

Nooo, cooking big is best! Do you not have a freezer though?

 

[sojourner]

Smoky veggie saussies, potato salad, crunchy green lettuce and red onion salad.

Choc and salted caramel cheesecake with blueberries for afters.

 

[Aladdin]

Nooo, cooking big is best! Do you not have a freezer though?

I've a freezer section in the fridge but not enough room to store extra food portions.
I'm making a salad today so I'll have cold rice mixed into curry sauce as part of it.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

pizza (margherita flavour).

 

[Epona]

Pork medallions for me, southern style quorn burgers (in buns with tomato, cheese condiments etc) for him.
Fried mushrooms, carrot/apple/celery salad, and fries.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

Leftover veggie balti with new potatoes and rice.
