[smee]

Bloody freezing! Vegan sausage and mash with fried allotment cabbage and onion gravy tonight

 

[redcogs]

had a ready meal - stew and dumps. uninspired, a bit like me.

We had Hunter's chicken with cous cous and air fried parmesan broccoli - new from the Button development kitchen and we'll definitely have again.

I also had a mince pie.

 

[May Kasahara]

I'm so happy it's baked potato weather. It's just the perfect meal.

Haha, snap! The kids are like this because I keep serving them up.

Tonight I had mine with braised leeks, cheese and hot sauce. Daughter had beans and cheese, son had chorizo and halloumi #ponce.

 

[sojourner]

Wedges, cheesy homelette and salad for one.

Apple crumble and custard, and perhaps some sneaky Friday night choccy too.

 

[UrbaneFox]

Leftovers from last night's sausage, celeriac, red onion, last bit of garlic, and sweet potato traybake.

Pan scrapings the next day are the best bit.

 

[tony.c]

Rigatone pasta with porcini mushroom sauce. Treacle tart.

 

[seeformiles]

Bacon, pink peppercorn and Gruyere grilled polenta served with steamed asparagus, a poached egg, a Stilton and Parmesan sauce and sauerkraut on the side

 

[cesare]

Vegetable sak with chapattis, omg so much vegetably goodness

Just had the last remaining mince pie to follow.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Slightly drunken freezer foraged sausage rollls. Been a long week

Probably not at the right time for most, but due to differing schedules, a meal I would call tea:

Been ill for days and not really felt like cooking and eating, just spent days propped on the sofa and getting sleep when I was able.
A couple of hours ago I suddenly started feeling more back to normal, burst of energy instead of just wanting to sleep for the forseeable, with a real hankering for a proper meal - so I'm doing a sausage casserole and mash with leeks in it

I like the sound of leeks in the mash! Glad you’ve perked up enough to want to cook.

Spuds and leeks is just one of those classic pairings, normally I'd sautée the finely chopped leeks in some butter and stir it all into the mashed spud, but as I'm still low on energy I just did a quick (and less washing up) version where I dumped the chopped leeks into the pan where the potatoes are boiling for the last few minutes of their cooking time, which is a bit quicker although not quite as good because you don't get any caramelisation on the leeks. Still works though

I'm quite fond of leeks because they keep for a long time, even if the outer layer dries out I just peel it off and it is fine underneath.

 

[Maggot]

Last night I was really in the mood for a savoury crumble. Usually make it with root veg in a creamy sauce, but didn't have any root veg. So instead I made it with a veggie bolognaise and it worked really well.

 

[cesare]

Tonight is peppercorn and red chilli chicken curry courtesy of Chetna, accompanied by rice.

Not sure what I'll have after.

 

[sojourner]

Fresh turmeric and spinach dhal, made with nigella/mustard/cumin seeds, fenugreek and cayenne. Will have with brown rice. Was thinking of putting paneer in, given how baltic it is.

Fit apple crumble and custard for afters.

 

[Biddlybee]

Oven tea - nugs/fishfinger/chips/beans for them, veggie sausages, chipotle wedges and garlic broc for me.

 

[RubyToogood]

Last night was veggie samosas and a chaat which I've forgotten what it was but it had crisp puffed up bits on top, followed by rasmalai.

Tonight is lasagne and casseroled veg.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Half a kilo of rump steak from Morrisons. I was going to get takeaway, but decided it's almost zero effort to cook a steak and the cost of a takeaway gets you a good amount of steak.

 

[smee]

Bailed out of the beer fest we were volunteering at a couple of hours early because it was bloody freezing so now have time for a proper dinner - tofish (tofu marinated, battered and deep fried a while ago and frozen), chips (well, more wedges), mushy peas (lots of pepper) and tartare (homemade vegan mayo, capers, onion and gherkins, not a fan of dill).

 

[Zorra]

The last two nights have been crappy airport sandwiches but home tonight so made a tandoori half chicken and a lentil and pumpkin side dish. Pretty nice. Also have a good stock going with the chicken carcass overnight so chicken noodle soup tomorrow.

 

[May Kasahara]

I'm making chicken tikka, butternut and kale curry, rice and (shop bought) naans. And some raita.

These both sound awesome.

 

[Epona]

I've got some leftovers from this morning's sausage casserole - no sausages left in it, but bacon, butter beans, carrots, tomatoes, shallots - probably just do some basmati rice or pasta to have with the sauce.

 

[tony.c]

Chicken and mushroom fried noodles. Treacle tart.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Last night as airfried pork belly bites, potato wedges and coleslaw with fennel salt and walnuts. Tonight airfried fried chicken thighs, sweet potato fries and green beans

 

[smee]

It’s going to be pizza tonight! The dough is rising… homemade ‘pepperoni’, jalapeños and pineapple on one, creamy garlic mushrooms on another and third TBC (ideas welcome! - vegan but have many cheese alternatives).

 

[May Kasahara]

The last roast dinner of the year before Christmas: pork fillet, spuds yorkshires, roast cauliflower leaves, steamed cauli/carrot/green beans. Might make a pudding if I can be arsed.

 

[Aladdin]

Chicken curry (hot) with bismati rice and naan bread.

 

[TopCat]

Doing a beef pot roast. Baked spuds, braised leeks.
