What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Elpenor]

Tempted to go to the chippy for battered sausage and chips

 

[Orang Utan]

Malaysian takeaway:
Roti canai
Nasi Lemak with Prawn Nyonyo

 

[Saffy]

Haddock, chips and mushy peas.
It came with a massive bag of scraps too.

 

[May Kasahara]

Celeriac gratin with Cauldron sausages and peas. Chicken nuggets and oven chips for the kids.

[Little Piranha]

It's absolutely fucking twatting it down, so it's a nice hot soul-uplifting high-inducing tsebhi birsen tonight, with white basmati and sour cream.

Decaff tea and all the dark choccy digestives for afters.

Had to look up what tsebhi birsen is, sounds excellent. And I just bought some berbere spice mix so I'll definitely give it a go.

 

[Ron Merlin]

Beef chilli from a batch I made a couple of weeks ago, portioned up and froze, with basmati rice. The rest of the Cabernet Syrah that needed drinking for the sake of politeness. I do hate waste.

 

[Detroit City]

tonight i will be having a veg samosa with tamarand and mint chutneys, mutter paneer (peas & cheese cubes), garlic naan and basmati rice...most likely an apple and banana for pudding

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I attempting to cook Vindaloo tonight. Not curry house style, but more like the traditional Goa/Portuguese fusion dish. You marinade the meat in vinegar and spices and it's got tamarind in as well. Will certainly taste different to my normal curries. Heat from some scotch bonnets, which definitely isn't traditional, but they need using.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Oh it's the second night of curry in a row. Went veggie last night.

 

[colacubes]

Friday roast! Roast pork, carrots, potatoes and possibly broccoli. Remains of the pork will go into ramen tomorrow.

 

[Badgers]

Wine

 

[BoatieBird]

Zahtar baked cod and bulgur wheat.
Wine and probably some sort of pudding as it's the weekend.

Had to look up what tsebhi birsen is, sounds excellent. And I just bought some berbere spice mix so I'll definitely give it a go.

There are about a 100 different variations on it Little Piranha . I tried a few of them and honed it to this:

• 250g red lentils
• 1 tin chopped tomatoes
• 1 dsp tomato puree
• 3 or 4 cloves garlic, sliced
• 1 onion
• 4 tsp berbere spice mix (Seasoned Pioneers do a fantastic one)
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 6 cardamon pods
• Pinch salt
• Boiling water

Fry onion gently until very soft in plenty of oil.
Add garlic for one minute.
Add berbere spice mix and keep stirring for 4 mins.
Add cumin, cardamon, ginger and stir for 1 more minute.
Add tin toms amd tom puree and stir for another minute.
Add half tsp of salt.
Add lentils and mix thoroughly until every lentil coated.
Pour in enough boiling water to cover mixture (and a little bit more so it’s not dry).
Bring to boil, and simmer for 30 mins, stirring every 10 mins.
Serve with basmati rice and a good dollop of sour cream on the side.

It's quite a hot dish, so make sure you get some sour cream!

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Not sure. Going to pop to Marks to see what takes my fancy.

 

[Badgers]

Dunno tonight. Something from the freezer.

Not sure. Going to pop to Marks to see what takes my fancy.

Who is Mark and his he happy with this arrangement?

 

[sojourner]

Anyway, it's Friday, yay, so beers first - some nice cold Kronie.

Then spinach and chickpea curry, with a huge Clay Oven garlic and coriander naan, and brown rice.

 

[Looby]

Something from Waitrose that’s both easy and vaguely healthy as I suspect neither of us will feel like cooking. Plus it’s Friday and it’s been a hell of a week.

 

[May Kasahara]

I am going OUT. To a PUB. So it will be WINE AND CARBS.

Husband and kids can do what they like

 

[nogojones]

Last night I broke the law and had a friend round for dinner. She's in a front line role, but we'd both been self isolating for the previous seven days so we could actually spend some time together. I did a roast garlic, pumpkin and mushroom risotto washed down with a couple of bottles of bucky. I could have cried, she was the first person I've held in over eight months.

Hopefully she's back later for round two before she goes back in the trenches, I think I'll do tempeh in satay sauce, beansprouts and noodles and a woodear, garlic and chilli side. And some big mugs of mushroom tea and industrial quantities of mandy for pudding

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Two hazelnut yogurts. A pot of cockles. Rice and quinoa and peppers.

 

[Saffy]

Husband is making homemade burgers and chips.
Stewed apple and greek yogurt for pudding.

 

[danny la rouge]

[killer b]

Hake baked with potatoes, fennel, white wine, capers & garlic, watercress on the side.
