What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[UnderOpenSky]

More batch cooking. Big pork and chickpea curry. It's a bit random as had half a jar of gosht pate to use, but not enough for the whole thing, so other spices as well and mustard oil. I've also really got into using the food processor for onions. By the time you've finished frying them and done the spices, it's pretty much a paste. Some nice looking tenderstem I got from the local veg shop and rice and naan.

That will be both freezers full, so not ball ache midweek for quite a while.

Pasticcio. It's not my favourite but everyone else likes it.

Had to google that. It sounds nice. Do you get the special pasta to make it?

 

[UnderOpenSky]

On the subject of pasta I tried Boccole the other night. Works really well with meaty sauce. Surprisingly for a food item you can buy it on Amazon at a sensible price with no minimum delivery.

No, just macaroni.

 

[Epona]

I use either small macaroni or bucatini - either works for the right texture/consistency

 

[Epona]

I can feel a pastichio coming on sometime soon, this has reminded me that I have half a bag of small macaroni feeling unloved at the bottom of the pasta storage box!

 

[poppy60]

Just finished some roast chicken,potatoes,carrots,yorkshire pudding and gravy[yum]

 

[Epona]

That's it, I'm definitely doing a roast next weekend - will need a bit of planning as we have a busy weekend coming up but I desperately want chicken/stuffing/roasties/yorkshires/veg/gravy soon

(Might actually end up doing it sooner)

 

[shakespearegirl]

Being taken out for dinner as a thank you for dog sitting this week.

 

[friedaweed]

Left over Chinese. Is there a better Sunday dinner than this?

 

[krtek a houby]

Marrow/courgette thing stuffed with onion/garlic/herbs and minced chicken. Roasted also with potatoes.

Nice.

 

[cesare]

Bolognese made with puy lentils, pancetta, mushrooms, onions, red pepper, garlic and tomatoes. Eaten with chickpea penne.

An espresso afterwards.

Nice.

I have a 50 recipe meal book for Marrows that all starts with the same method.

Discard of Marrow and gather ingredients...

 

[kalidarkone]

Fucking Calzone if it ever arrives

 

[shakespearegirl]

Oysters and sea bass.

Fucking Calzone if it ever arrives

I very much hope that the fact there has been no update on this means you have been happily scoffing the calzone!

The Fucking Calzone took an hour to arrive and had no meat in it at all. I ordered a minced beef bolognese one.

 

[Epona]

Rump steak, fries, peas, fried mushrooms. My usual red wine and mustard reduction to get all the bits off the bottom of the pan. Might caramelise some onion as well to include in the sauce.
Glass of merlot.

Must have a proper Sunday roast soon though, I start getting Sunday roast pangs when I've not had one for a while! Maybe next weekend.

Update - I licked my plate clean, it may not have been a Sunday roast but steak and chips is a fine meal to have on any night, and it was bloody lush.

OH is off tomorrow and having discussed it by text message, I think we'll be having a Monday roast

 

[MrCurry]

Fresh Chinese?

 

[krtek a houby]

Pasta with aubergine and mushrooms

 

[MrCurry]

Today will be fish in sweet chilli & creme fraiche sauce, boiled white rice and broccoli

I've basically given up on delivery apps.

 

[friedaweed]

Fresh Chinese?

On a Sunday? What do you think I am, loaded?

 

[BoatieBird]

The thai chicken curry I made on Saturday and didn't get round to eating.
Will add some sugarsnap peas when I reheat it.

 

[Epona]

Oooh, not done Thai food for a while pencils it in for later this week

 

[Epona]

Some shopping has been done, and tea is going to be:

Roast chicken, roast spuds, roast parsnips and carrots, Yorkshire pudding, sage & onion stuffing (out of a pack but I jazz it up a bit), steamed broccoli, peas, gravy.

OH will have the above but with a fried tuna steak instead of the chicken cos he's pescetarian, and no parsnips because he's a weirdo who doesn't like parsnips.

Monday roast is happening

 

[Steel Icarus]

Just cooked myself honey and harrissa glazed salmon with turmeric cous-cous, cucumber and tomatoes. Really enjoyed it. First ever bit of fish I've cooked that didn't come frozen and in breadcrumbs

 

[cesare]

Higgedy quiche with salad and peri peri airfried sweet potato chips.

Espresso and a piece of no added sugar dark chocolate afterwards.

 

[RubyToogood]

Smug new potatoes, green beans, two veggie sausages (Taste the Difference No Pork and Apple), dressing of yoghurt with mint and chives.

Pudding: rest of the yoghurt with stewed smug blackcurrants.
