What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[moose]

Breadcrumbed seitan pieces, Mexican style rice, salad, garlicky mushrooms and roasted cherry tomatoes.
Cocktails made with raspberries that arrived crushed beyond belief.

 

[fishfinger]

Sausages, cauliflower cheese and baked potato.

 

[Detroit City]

Liver onions mashed potato and cabbage , getting a bit chilly at night here and rain early hours tomorrow so bit if comfort food

I love liver and onion but haven’t had in 25+ years...

dinner tonight will be a half-pound roast beef sandwich with Swiss and au jus. Maybe some form of potato too.

 

[Detroit City]

...garlicky mushrooms and roasted cherry tomatoes.

Have you ever had mushrooms fried in tempura batter? Mmmm, delicious especially with blue cheese dipping sauce

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Thai spinach, chilli and lime soup with seedy bread rolls. The soup was OK, but nothing to write home about.

 

[platinumsage]

Southern fried chicken fillets, Idahoan Perfect Mash instant mashed potato (cheddar cheese flavour), broccoli, carrots, mushrooms. Custard with ground almonds and microwaved frozen cherries.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Shepards pie as loads of spuds to use up. Normally do the cottage variety, so it will be nice to have it with lamb.

 

[Numbers]

Roast potatoes and Cod (baked) with steamed veg.

We have no bread or scones in so can’t have the usual sandwich side.

However, I will probably scoop out the inside of 2 or 3 of the potatoes and fill it with a cod/veg medley (with a little grated smoked cheddar).

Nobbly Bobbly desert.

 

[Orang Utan]

Pork stir-fry with black bean sauce - all packet stuff - feeling lazy

 

[pogo 10]

A chicken, sage and onion sarnie with spinach, tomato and branston pickle. Some blackforest loaf cake for puddo.

 

[colacubes]

Trad 5th Nov so jacket potatoes, chilli con carne and a fire in the garden. Debating whether to make an effigy of Covid to burn but may not bother given we did one of Trump and Farage in 2016 and it doesn’t seemed to have worked

I’m not taking any chances on a 4 year lag to get rid of Covid!

 

[BoatieBird]

Freezer foraged chilli and rice

 

[Looby]

Chinese delivery. I’ve got crispy beef and Mr Looby has his gross battered chicken balls.
I wanted Wagamama but didn’t want to leave the dogs to collect because of bastard fireworks.

They must be tiny

 

[May Kasahara]

Frying steak, baked potatoes, spinach and broccoli.

RubyToogood tell me more about your fermented beetroot and fennel from a few pages back. (please)

 

[quiet guy]

Stir fry veg with some chicken breast washed down with some Aldi cider

 

[RubyToogood]

RubyToogood tell me more about your fermented beetroot and fennel from a few pages back. (please)

Check out the fermentation thread. I'm still an early experimenter with fermentation and have only done it 3 times, but fennel does seem to ferment well. Stays crunchy but gains tanginess.

 

[RubyToogood]

I have just had a bowl of leek and potato soup.

 

[Roadkill]

Stir fried vegetables and cashew nuts, with brown rice. I am incapable of making stir fries in sensible quantities.

Not for a long time, and now I want it!!!

Tonight we had veggie sausages basted with bbq sauce, fried onions, steamed cabbage with nutmeg, mashed spuds.

 

[Zorra]

Squash, lentil and spinach curry with rice (or just a plate of rice if you are the small vegetable-refusing girl ). The last of the fancy biscuits for afters followed by sparklers in the garden

 

[Maggot]

Roast squash vedgeree. One my favourites. Using millet instead of rice.

Is there a recipe for this wondrous sounding thing?

Is there a recipe for this wondrous sounding thing?

I adapted it from a HFW recipe which I can't find online, apart from in the Sun

• 2 medium onions, roughly chopped
• 1 medium squash (600-700g), peeled and cut into 1-2cm cubes
• 2 tbsp rapeseed oil
• 200g wholegrain basmati rice
• 4 tbsp curry paste, home-made or your favourite ready-made one
• 200ml coconut milk
• 200g chard, cut into thin ribbons, stalks and leaves together
• Sea salt and black pepper
• Coriander leaves to finish (optional)

METHOD: Preheat the oven to 190C/Fan 170C/Gas 5. Put the onions and squash into a large roasting dish.

Trickle over the oil, add salt and pepper, stir well and roast for about 40 minutes, stirring once, until tender and lightly coloured.

Meanwhile, cook the rice in plenty of boiling salted water until just tender. It will probably take 25-30 minutes but check the packet guidelines.

When it is done, drain well and keep warm in its saucepan.

Once the squash and onions are cooked, add the curry paste and coconut milk to the roasting dish and stir well.

Toss in the chard and stir again.

Return to the oven for about 15 minutes until everything is bubbling and the chard is wilted.

Tip in the cooked rice and stir well then serve, scattered with coriander if you like.

I roast the squash for about 15 minutes before adding the onion.

It is so versatile, you can sub any root veg for the squash, and leeks, peppers, courgettes etc for the onion. Also any leafy green for the chard.

 

[Detroit City]

Dinner is a Greek salad with grilled chicken. May have some leftover lamb & peas curry if salad isn’t enough...

 

[Espresso]

I liberated a bag of something from the freezer last night for tonight's tea. Just been to inspect it and it looks like some species of tomato based pasta sauce with chicken and borlotti beans.
So it'll be that.

 

[BoatieBird]

Spanish chicken, roasted veg and patatas bravas

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Half a dozen boiled eggs.
