What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[sojourner]

Himself is away rehearsing tonight, so it's tuna mayo baked spuds for one, with salad.

Then lots of lovely chocolate.

 

[MrCurry]

Carrot & lentil lasagne and green salad

 

[Badgers]

Buttery mash potatoes with some Stilton and Wholegrain mustard.

Sweet chilli sausages
Minty peas
Onion gravy

I've been umming and ahhing for a couple of hours now about what I want for tea. I've got a load of veg, and was torn between veggie lo-mein (possibly with shredded omelette) and veggie orzotto.

Then I thought that if I'm getting a pack of skin-on/bone-in chicken thighs for a mini-roast on Sunday, then I am going to have at least 1 more meal of chicken thighs, and I've got a bottle of honey & chilli BBQ sauce (fancy gift pack of bottles of chilli sauces, BBQ sauces, flavoured oils and salts which OH found too much of a bargain to resist when he found it in the post-Xmas sale stuff) which sounds like it would be a great marinade/sauce for some chicken thighs and that would probably go really well with a veggie lo-mein side. Will have that either tomorrow or Saturday depending upon when I go shopping.

So tonight I am having mushroom/pepper/celery/pea orzotto with lots of parmesan.

 

[onenameshelley]

I can recommend the recipe from tonight. Really easy to prep and cook, really tasty and went down a treat. I would never have put lemon and feta together, but it's delicious.

 

[The39thStep]

Grilled tuna belly marinated in paprika, garlic, and lemon with chickpeas, red onion and tomato salad

 

[nottsgirl]

More of the never ending lasagne.

 

[sojourner]

If the beanburgers have defrosted, them on baps, with a dirty cheese slice, and spicy wedges and salad.

If not, it's the feta-stuffed roast peppers with pesto fusilli and salad.

Choc cake, decaff tea, then more chocolate.

 

[BoatieBird]

Coconutty dahl with roasted cauliflower.
Wine

 

[sojourner]

Coconutty dahl with roasted cauliflower.

That sounds lush! Do you just chuck a tin of coconut milk into a spicy dhal then?

Yes! Just replace some of the water/stock with coconut milk.

 

[Epona]

Chicken thighs in a honey & chilli BBQ sauce marinade, baked.
Spicy vegetable lo-mein.

 

[moonsi til]

Lentil & mushroom pie with sliced potatoes on top & a dressed salad

I’m poorly & appetite is waning so remains to be seen how much I will eat. Only cooked as have a friend coming to stay.

 

[Skim]

PIE. Mushroom and kale for me, something containing two different animals for him. Broccoli. Sauv blanc. There is still Christmas lebkuchen in the cupboard that needs to be eaten

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Leek, mushroom and black pepper Boursin linguine. Came out lush and so, so simple. Will be getting Boursin in again for this purpose

I have the small pre portioned packs for that exact purpose, amazing in wilted spinach or kale

 

[onenameshelley]

I have some vivera pretend kebab meat, so having that with some lebanese flat breads, tahini sauce, red onion salad, pickled chillies and sweet potato wedges for me and he. Small one will have flat bread, lettuce, peppers, some cheese and maybe some chicken, and wedges (If she eats them this time).

 

[mrsfran]

A proper chicken tikka masala from scratch, although I might use coconut milk instead of cream. Fresh naan from the shop with the naan oven round the corner.

 

[sojourner]

'Ot dogs! Veggie ones, with boiled onions, dijon mustard, ketchup.

Mint tea and choccy cake.

 

[sojourner]

Yes! Just replace some of the water/stock with coconut milk.

Have made it for lunches next week, cos remembered I had 3/4 of a tin of coconut milk int freezer. Tastes fit, cheers love

 

[Orang Utan]

Cassoulet from a tin - French tinned food is far superior than the dogfood shite you get in cans over here.

 

[Epona]

'Ot dogs! Veggie ones, with boiled onions, dijon mustard, ketchup.

Mint tea and choccy cake.

Which brand of veggie ones?

 

[mrsfran]

It went well .

 

[Epona]

I really fancy a curry now. (That one looks really lush mrsfran )

I shouldn't read this thread when I have tea planned and am mid-prep, I always end up fancying something that someone else is having instead

 

[Looby]

I had so much to eat at my aunt and uncles today that I really didn’t need dinner but we had chicken to use and Mr Looby hadn’t eaten.

I did a traybake with chicken, chorizo, peppers, onions, potatoes and shitloads of garlic oil and paprika. It was lush but I can’t finish mine so I’ll save it for lunch.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

It went well .

That looks delicious

 

[Mrs Miggins]

We've had quorn "steak" pies and mushy peas. Not hungry enough for mash or chips. The quorn pies are nice but not as good as the Linda Mac pies.

Lindt Les Grandes hazelnut chocolate for afters which is sublime.

 

[miss direct]

Quite proud of my cooking on Saturday. Pumpkin, lentil and coconut curry. The coconut was a green one, with the flesh scraped out to add to the dish. No cans of coconut milk here. It didn't look very appealing but tasted nice. Made some yellow rice to go with it, and had local home made rice pudding (with cardamom, cinnamon and raisins) made by a teacher for pudding.

I love pretty much all rice pudding, but that sort is among my favourites. I bloody love cardamom.

I don't do rice pudding these days, OH doesn't like it and I usually can't be bothered to make it just for myself. I think I ought to though, I fancy some now (the curse of the tea thread LOL).

Good job on the curry too
