[RubyToogood]

Made a big pot of soupy stewy thing with tromboncino, carrots, celeriac, black beans, lots of thyme and big fat tomatoes and sausages from the Polish shop.

All dinners should be like this.

 

[onenameshelley]

Today is pork belly slow cooked in cider with mash and veg. Small one will have sausages instead of pork belly.

 

[Aladdin]

Will be having home made sweet and sour chicken with rice

Banging

I have some pork belly marinating for Monday. Only usually buy it when reduced but it is becoming a staple here.

 

[fishfinger]

Chicken leg stew.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Going for a Chinese Meal at Red Chilli in Manchester. They've got some quite authentic sounding things on the menu, sadly not sure if I'll be brave enough to try something to out there.

I got a huge piece off Gary, so I split into 3 pieces and this the last of it now. I am trying to clear the freezer out in time for Christmas.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Super slow cooked beef rib red wine ragu. Was meant to dinner last but insta pot lid cracked so could pressure cook, so two day slow cook instead

 

[Badgers]

Homemade Chicken chilli masala
Rice and Naan bread
Mango chutney
Wine

Coffee

 

[Epona]

Duck breast which I will fry, roast spuds, stuffing, carrots (ooh I have swede too, a carrot and swede mash would be lush), sprouts, gravy - I think I've got some leftover roast parsnips in the freezer from last week and I saw a jar of port and cranberry sauce lurking in the fridge which will go fine with it if it's still ok.

 

[Epona]

You know what, sod it - it's only a small duck breast and I also have sausages and streaky bacon so I think I'll do a pig in blanket to go with.

 

[BoatieBird]

Roast chicken, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puds, pigs in blankets, carrots, sprouts, broccoli and gravy.

 

[Saffy]

First Sunday of advent and I've envoked the roast embargo, much to my family's disappointment.
So instead we're having beef and ale pie, chip, peas and gravy.

 

[MrCurry]

I did some upcycling of yesterday’s roast dinner leftovers by serving leftover pigs in blankets, roast parsnips and carrots with some green beans on a plank-steak board with piped duchess potatoes. Red wine sauce under the food and bearnaise on the side.

That is a work of art

 

[moonsi til]

Saffy what’s the roast embargo? Is it to ensure Christmas dinner is enjoyed?

I’m having I think courgette lasagna-found it in the freezer with oven chips & peas.

I’ve practiced the basic method of making and piping the duchess on those boards a few times because I’d normally do pork tenderloin slices with green beans as a birthday meal, since we can no longer go to the local restaurant that serves this. It maybe looks fancy but it’s nothing tricky really, if you have wooden boards and a jumbo piping tip.

Just thought id try to make the roast leftovers into something a bit more special

Yes! Christmas dinner (and tea) is the best dinner of the year for me and so I ban all roasts until then.

I have other quirks over Christmas too. Like when I locked all the TV channels so my kids could only watch four channels and had the joy of circling the Radio Times.

Circling things in the Radio Times takes me back! Also I used to love Xmas editions of catalogues - looking at all the food hampers especially!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I've had burgers in buns the last couple of nights and tonight it's going to be egg, chips, beans, and buttered white sliced.

 

[sojourner]

We used to have it roasted for Sunday dinner when I was a kid, cos it was so cheap, and we couldn't afford chicken or beef.

Well done Jamie fucking Oliver/The Guardian for stealing a good idea for cheap meat, calling it 'peasant food', and pricing it out of the peasants' range. You cunt.

 

[sojourner]

We had a fit curry delivery. I've deffo swapped allegiance now. Chicken cirachi with pilau for me, veg madras with veg rice for him, shared snacks, and the most garlicky saag bhaji I've ever had

Chocolate choc chip muffin lathered in rose buttercream icing and a decaff tea.

The Pork belly was delicious, must be good and not succumb to raiding the leftovers when the munchies kick in later on. ☺

sojourner I feel the same way about oxtail, beef shin, and bone marrow. I was taught by nan to cook, and how to make the cheapest cuts of meat delicious (low and slow is best).

Adding Ox/Beef cheeks to that list, also great for slow cooking

 

[BoatieBird]

Our roast embargo has now started Saffy.
Today's effort was the last roast until Christmas day

Oh yeah not blow my own horn but my ox cheek tacos are amazing....even if I do say so myself.
