What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[quiet guy]

Reduced shelf lamb stewing pieces so made casserole with odds of root vegetables in the house and added some warm bread with butter. Still plenty in the pot for another 2 meals and possible a cup of soup for later in the week.

I'm making a tuna dauphinoise tonight - actually got the recipe from the label on a tin of tuna and it's pretty good.
You do a potato dauphinoise but put a layer in the middle which is tinned tuna, sautéed leeks, chopped fried bacon or pancetta if you do bacon (I omit as OH is pescetarian), thyme and whatever other herbs you fancy.
I tried it out years ago on a whim and it's one of our favourites, takes absolutely fucking ages though so it's not something I make that often.
With a side salad of tomatoes and olives.

Sounds similar to Jansson's temptation Epona. I must make it again soon, I haven't had it for ages.

Yes, definitely a similar theme of dish!

 

[Epona]

Except I forgot what I was cooking due to a last minute change of plan due to fresh stuff that needs using more quickly...

Tonight we are having (late, as OH still off and in night shift mode but also ill, he's only just got up after a nice lie in), cottage pies.
Beef and Pork mince for me, Quorn mince for him. Carrots, onions and celery in the mince. Topped with mash with finely chopped leek in it (and lots of butter, naturally), and cheese on top.

Going to try making chicken piccata. Never eaten it, let alone cooked it, but sounds interesting. Maybe mash potatoes?

Ok, this was one of the most awesome things I've cooked for a long time.

I've not tried that, but it looks similar to the way I sometimes cook white fish - dredge in flour, fry, then with a butter/caper/lemon sauce.
Is that about the gist of it?
If so I recommend it with fish also, white fish with those ingredients is a fine match. I will try it with chicken!

 

[sojourner]

Cauldron sausage, peppers and chickpea stew with wholewheat fusilli.

Last of the muffins. Made 6 expecting them to last 3 days. Oops.

Pretty much. White wine as well, but it's not a flavour profile I've done before. I don't really eat much fish, but I'm quite tempted to try it with pork.

Neighbour across the road dropped a tray of leftover homemade veg pizza round earlier, so a couple of slices of that.

Maybe red lentil soup later if I get round to making it.

 

[Numbers]

Pie and Peas

 

[shakespearegirl]

Wedding anniversary ramen. We’ve been out for a couple of hours sailing this afternoon, followed by a glass of wine by the sea

 

[cesare]

Chicken thighs, roasties, stuffing balls, mushy peas and gravy

Pie and Peas

Change of plan, doing the 2 for Tuesday with Dominos.

 

[BoatieBird]

A hastily chucked together dinner of pasta with a jar of sauce (Mutti, which isn't too bad for a jar), a tin of sweetcorn and some chopped up frankfurters.

The menfolk declared it delicious

 

[Zorra]

Love Jansson's temptation! As we're in Denmark its seen as very Swedish and outré to include it in the Christmas Eve spread but it's too delicious not to

Tonight we had a pasta Bolognese bake enlivened with a top layer of cheesy white sauce with pesto garlic mushrooms. So a not-at-all-lasagne but better than the regular pasta bake

 

[kalidarkone]

Baked potato with cheese, chives and sour cream......I think...? Won't know till I get home.

 

[pinkmonkey]

Marinaded pork chops (pre made from Asda) Lidl potato dauphinois and mange tout, all bunged in the oven my train was delayed and Im starving!

 

[Maggot]

Ribollita, but didn't have any bread to put in.

 

[Saffy]

Chilli, rice, salad and a blob of sour cream.
Cinnamon bun bite with a cuppa to have with Bake off for pudding.

 

[May Kasahara]

I made a salad with some leftover roast chicken mixed with chopped gherkins, apple, walnuts, radish, and a yoghurt/mayo/mustard/balsamic dressing. Had that with some mini baked potatoes and a green salad on the side.

 

[sojourner]

Baked potatoes filled with cheese, beans on side. Hot sauce, reggae sauce, BBQ sauce.

Fella's making a fruit cake so we'll have a slice of that with a brew.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Chicken Kiev, baked potato, green been salad… shit day of work (when I’m not even meant to be working) and I need comfort food

 

[iona]

Smoked fish pie and garlic kale

 

[pinkmonkey]

Bung in’t oven again: sausages, chips and a tray of chopped tomatoes and courgettes.

 

[Zorra]

Homemade katsu! Made chicken Panko strips, plus sushi rice and spring greens. Son made the katsu sauce from one of those blocks which is like stock cubes which you boil up. Delicious! I kept reminding the kids how much cheaper it was to make this dish at home than eat out and they pointed out we hardly ever eat out anyway

In other news all three of us have COVID so that explains why we've had debilitating colds for a week. Sigh.

Hope you all recover quickly!

 

[RubyToogood]

Stir fry of smoked tofu, cashew nuts, carrots and runner beans, with rice noodles. I have finally broken my recent unbroken run of throwing tofu away uneaten because I don't get round to it quickly enough.

The branded stuff that is. The Lidl one gets eaten pretty quickly. I now realise that's because it's quite a lot nicer.

 

[May Kasahara]

Husband made white fish fillets, wedges, cabbage and peas. It was very tasty.

The last of the delicious orange and lemon cake for dessert.
