What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Espresso]

Risotto with mustard and dill, and some haddock steamed on the top. Was delightful.

 

[moonsi til]

Had lush 3 curries bought from mate who does vegan food as his business.Had saag aloo, butternut squash & a chickpea dish with super fluffy rice & mango chutney & pomegranate. Will be same tomorrow.

 

[Zorra]

It has been freezing all week so I'd prepared a shepherd's pie for tonight but then the weather was glorious so we had cold chicken, new potatoes, asparagus and salad. Second time eating in the garden this year

Had the shepherd's pie tonight as the weather's gone chilly again.

 

[fishfinger]

Sainsbury's paella and chocolate brownies for pud.

 

[Epona]

Last night we made bad decisions and had fish and chips.

Tonight OH is working and had noodles before he left, I got peckish a bit later and had some Iceland paella which I bulked out a bit with broad beans. A glass of Shiraz. A few Gulyian choccy seashells.

 

[sojourner]

He's off out to rehearsal, so I'll be on baked salmon fillet, buttery baked spuds, and salad.

Dark choc Tunnocks and a decaff tea for afters.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Wheatberry and Chickpea Salad with some Feta and loads of veggies.

Forgot to go to the supermarket on the way home from work for some lean protein, so may have a burger from the freezer with it.

 

[Badgers]

Got some meatballs from the #haggleshelf

Would usually make my own but they were really cheap #haggling so grabbed them. Got to make a decent sauce and will be using gluten free pasta as cooking for infirm neighbour as well.

Cheese atop of course

Wait, what, you can haggle at the tramps buffet?

Theft

 

[Epona]

I'll be doing early tea today around 4-ish to fit around OH's night shift.

Roast chicken for me, fried tuna steak for him. Steamed green beans. New potatoes with garlic butter. Bit of gravy for me.

(I normally like all the trimmings with my roast chicken but it is warm and really quite humid today and the idea of roasties and stuffing was not doing it for me!)

 

[LeytonCatLady]

A steak sarnie.

 

[Numbers]

Curry.

 

[RubyToogood]

The second half of a butternut squash and red lentil chilli thing from yesterday, very nice.

Wheatberry and Chickpea Salad with some Feta and loads of veggies.

Is the protein in the wheatberries, the chickpeas and the feta not enough for you?

 

[shifting gears]

melanzane alla parmiggiana

don’t make this often as so much faff frying all the aubergine slices but once in a while...

 

[Aladdin]

Salmon cutlets cooked with lemon, black pepper and butter with baby potatoes, mashed carrots and parsnips.

Jelly and custard for dessert

 

[sheothebudworths]

Breaded haddock/cauli cheese bake, roast baby potatoes and salad.
Choc fudge muffins with cream for pudding.

Well there was a lot of veg in there as well. I'm trying to eat quite a lot of protein at the moment as I'm doing more training, but also because it makes me feel more full.

Plus lovely as these salads are I'm still getting over the idea that it's not just a side. I didn't have a burger though, just left it a bit and had a protein shake later.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

A battered chicken sarnie.

 

[Epona]

A battered chicken sarnie.

As in battered chicken between 2 slices, or chicken between 2 slices and the whole thing battered and deep fried?

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Ha ha! Battered chicken between two slices.

 

[Epona]

Ha ha! Battered chicken between two slices.

Ah cool. Wrt to the other, I had to ask, because you know some people would undoubtedly try that

 

[BoatieBird]

Ah cool. Wrt to the other, I had to ask, because you know some people would undoubtedly try that

I would try that

Tonight we're having a waldorf style salad with chicken and bacon (un-battered and un-fried)

 

[sojourner]

melanzane alla parmiggiana

One of my very favourite things to eat! I never bother frying the aubergine, shifting gears , just cut them a lot thinner.

 

[sojourner]

It's a wet gloomy day here, and it's making me crave carbs, so spinach and mascarpone wholewheat fusilli for tea, slathered in toasted pine nuts and parmesan.

Tesco's whole and fruit and nut choccy for afters.

ooh, interesting - I assume you blanch them first? Do you do all the salting/rinsing etc? I did consider frying half/blanching half yesterday as recommended here: How to cook the perfect aubergine parmigiana, but in the end I stuck with frying the lot and reciting an arterial prayer

Nope, just slice them thin and layer them in! Comes out absolutely fine.
