50g of almonds.

 

[Looby]

Paella.

 

[colacubes]

Beetroot and goats cheese risotto.

 

[RubyToogood]

Is it any good?

Well, depends on brand with most of these veggie things. I get the Gardein ones which are very nice.

This evening's dinner was leek and potato soup (yum) with toast and goat's cheese.

 

[moose]

Literally going to burst. Sticky/crispy chilli tofu, stir fried hoisin veggies, and a mountain of wholewheat noodles.
Every single time I read 'one slab per person' on the packet, but think it looks a bit stingy and chuck another one in. * explodes *

A lie down for dessert.

 

[platinumsage]

Sweet potatoes, cucumber, carrots, yellow pepper, tempeh, celery, all diced and boiled with butter beans, drained and mixed with chicken gravy.

 

[Zorra]

Jacket potatoes with cheese and either beans (beans then cheese, obviously) OR tuna mayo. Unless you are my son who had beans, tuna and cheese all mixed together No pudding, we were all too repulsed.

 

[Detroit City]

tonite will be Thai: Green Curry Chicken and Fried Fish in red curry along with white rice. may get some soup and spring rolls to?

 

[Hearse Pileup]

Just finished eating some home made cottage pie with panfried green tomatoes (picked from the garden before they get blighted).

First time I've really had green tomatoes - my partner added some filipino shrimp paste (bagu ong), which brought out a nice savoury note in them and counteracted the bitterness slightly.

Gotta make some salsa verde tomorrow to use up some of the tomatillos

 

[Aladdin]

It's equivalent to a sirloin steak.

Called striploin too. Hence NY Strip

 

[Aladdin]

Home made lasagne with home made chips.
Mini cornettos for dessert.

Its too late to cook dinner now,isn't kt?

 

[LeytonCatLady]

A Bernard Matthews turkey steak with potatoes, broc and carrots.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Mince, potatoes, broccoli and carrots.

Followed by four cans of Carlsberg, and then me and my housemate each had a jug of pina colada. We also shared a box of little chocolate cakes.

 

[Saffy]

Salmon, spicy couscous and roasted veg.
No courgettes for the first time in months. Going to have to buy some now I've moved away from my lovely neighbour who grows them.

 

[oomfoofoo]

Chicken breast stuffed with garlic & herb cream cheese, wrapped in prosciutto ham, cooked in a little chicken stock with hasselback new potatoes, carrots & green beans.

 

[Badgers]

Halloumi and something

 

[oomfoofoo]

Halloumi and something

I never really know what to do with Halloumi, it's a new thing for me, so just soak it to get the salt out, then drizzle oil and herbs on it and pan fry it.

 

[platinumsage]

Tinned sardines with veg from the freezer, maybe some pasta.

 

[danny la rouge]

What’s wrong with salt? Just fry it or grill it. Then put it on sandwiches with brown sauce.

stands back, proud of himself. Waits

 

[Orang Utan]

Pasta, artichokes, Parmesan

 

[BlanketAddict]

Fishfingers and couscous.

Yes I am clearing the freezer/cupboards

 

[Espresso]

More chicken and veg and chilli spicy broth with noodles, I think.

 

[BlanketAddict]

Chicken breast stuffed with garlic & herb cream cheese, wrapped in prosciutto ham, cooked in a little chicken stock with hasselback new potatoes, carrots & green beans.

Hold the cream cheese and I'm on board!

 

[Badgers]

I never really know what to do with Halloumi, it's a new thing for me, so just soak it to get the salt out, then drizzle oil and herbs on it and pan fry it.

Think I will just do some salad and maybe grilled peppers.

 

[sojourner]

You're missing a big point of it then. Salty goodness is what makes halloumi. It's fab with a tomato salad - good vine toms, ripened, sliced and seasoned then drizzled with olive oil and left to sit for a while. Draws out tomatoey loveliness and goes perfect with hallo you hallo me.

 

[sojourner]

Tesco veggie Cumberland saussies, mash, kale, peas and onion gravy.

Wholenut choccy for afters.

 

[Epona]

Spag bol tonight!

I'd never had it before and we were having a small BBQ back in the summer (when we were allowed). A girlfriend of one of those invited is vegetarian, so I asked what she would like. She told me what to get and how to prepare it, hence the soaking of halloumi.
