What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[danny la rouge]

Pizza.

 

[Voley]

We're meant to be having a few mates round for a barbeque but the weather might have a say in whether this happens or not ...

Looks like we're on for this - blazing sunshine now. Got burgers with smoked garlic amongst other things.

Gorgeous now, isn't it?

I've gone back and got another chicken meal deal from M&S. I'll do a few extra roast spuds and it'll do the four of us. The wine however will do just me.

Absolutely glorious.

Had a friend over from China and he not eaten anything remotely European for ages.
Cooked him a French Oxtail Stew with home-made garlic and herb bread.
It was nice.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

French Oxtail Stew

What makes it French? I do oxtail a lot in the winter and variations are always welcome.

I love oxtail and don't usually bother with it in the heat but me mate is so sick of Chinese foods.

Why is the recipe French? I should have said Oxtail stew cos naturally it's a French dish.

(I learnt it from a class-mate at Uni who's parents ran a restaurant in France (ironically, his mum was English and Dad was Greek-Cypriot) whi said the French do it differently by making the broth with 1.5 bottle of dry red wine and half a glass of port. I also added one slice of smoky bacon to vary it out. Also, I cooked it with the pressure cooker resulting in a not so dark broth. Still I found it deliciou)s.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

1.5 bottle of dry red wine and half a glass of port.

It's the wine! My granny (not the French one) used to do it with haricot beans but added a bit of gravy browning because my grandfather liked a dark oxtail. I most often do it West-Indian style (add thyme and scotch bonnet peppers)

 

[wtfftw]

This ended up being a kebab and sprained ankle.

Mainly wine. Possibly pizza (massively reduced shop bought pizza express stylee). meant to buy garlic and a baguette but bought lots of wine instead. Oops.

[Part 2]

Shakshouka. I used Ottolenghi's recipe, which wasn't as good as just throwing stuff in a pan tbh

 

[wtfftw]

Today he's doing roast chicken and potatoes n stuff when he has a moment off from cleaning up, soft modding my wii, fetching me stuff, topping up my drink and kissing my neck while I watch the football.

 

[feyr]

yeh, but neither of really eats that much cake, and I can't be getting more fat after all my hard work these last months. The cream is nice though

Freeze half the cake?! Or three quarters, even! I do that all the time! And the cream'll last a few days for a daily treat? I just have SMALL bits of cake with a SMALL bit of cream!

Oh, you reminded me, I add pinto beans in it too.
Your scotch bonnet oxtail stew made me smile. I've never considered that but the taste of the bones would make it nice.
