What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[mrsfran]

Tomato pasta last night.

Tonight Is katsu curry - veg and a chicken cutlet for adults, vegan cutlet for daughter. Jasmine rice done nicely in a bowl shape like they do at Wagamama.

Tacos tonight. Thinking of trying a 'shaved' tofu thing I saw on social media (basically shave bits off the block and fry them for a sharwarma effect). plus guacomole, fried peppers, onions and mushrooms and cashew cheesey sauce. And maybe Pico De Gallo. A friend makes a great one, need to look up a recipe.

 

[nottsgirl]

Pub tea. Either a veggie burger and chips or something off the specials menu.

 

[Numbers]

We’ve been planning Gyros all day, even bought all the necessary ingredients.

But just a moment ago Mrs Numbers en-route upstairs said that one word you either love or hate “takeaway?” so who knows right now.

 

[cesare]

We're having some sort of deliveroo type meal. No real reason apart from easy evening. Not sure what yet though ... I like lebanese/turkish but not averse to an indian or chinese.

 

[RubyToogood]

Miso soup with prawns, gyoza and kale, but something went wrong with it and it tasted bitter so I picked some bits out of it and gave up. This is particularly annoying as it's impossible to know what ingredient caused that so hard to know how to be sure of not repeating it.

Couple of steamed buns which were fine.

 

[newme]

Gyozas it seems, chicken, shrimp and beef ones. Didn't expect that but pairs nicely with some HHC hash.

 

[Saffy]

I'm looking after my Mum at the moment while she's convalescing, so I'm feeding her up.
We had creamy chicken potato topped pie with steamed savoy cabbage, green beans and brussel sprouts.

mango with coconut yoghurt for pudding.

 

[Rebelda]

Fusilli bolognese for her, sausage and chips for me, sprouts, cauliflower and sweetcorn for both. Hot cross bun and then ice cream for after.

Didn’t make the pico as went to the pub and played card games instead. But the rest of this was awesome and the shaved tofu is a winner!

 

[shakespearegirl]

A delicious Argentinian meal,empenadas, chorizo, steak, puddings.. was amazing and massive so there will be steak sandwiches to fuel our yomping round Seville…

 

[nottsgirl]

Oxtail stew and mash.

 

[sojourner]

Veggie saussie and egg baps.

 

[mrsfran]

Trying the new family-sized Quorn "chicken" and leek pie. Have high hopes. With either mash or roast potatoes, carrots and kale. Got a craving for kale for some reason.

 

[shakespearegirl]

We had a booking at a lovely tapas restaurant but we then couldn’t find it, so distinctly average ramen

 

[May Kasahara]

Last night I did choose-your-own tacos. Chicken strips, spiced roast sweet potatoes with feta, shredded lettuce, grated cheese, cucumber, plain yoghurt, pink pickled onions, a sort of chipotle veg medley (red pepper, fennel and courgette fried in chipotle and lime). Stuck it all on the table with the taco shells so people can grab what they want. It was really delicious.

Also knocked up a hot apple sponge as a last minute attempt to use up some underwhelming fruit. Also delicious!

Think I might make pizza tonight.

 

[mrsfran]

Dinner at the MIL's today, I made a big pot of bean and veg chilli yesterday, and will also do guacamole, sweetcorn and red pepper salad, and having read May Kasahara 's post, I will add grated cheese and shredded lettuce.

 

[nottsgirl]

Pizza with sundried tomatoes and black olives.

 

[pinkmonkey]

Not sure yet, was going to make Thai curry last night but realised I had no coconut milk. I have some now, but I’m tempted to do sausages, celeriac mash and shallot gravy again, like we had last Sunday. I think that celeriac resembles a shrunken zombie head and I can’t help but go, ‘brains! Brains!’ when I chop it up.

 

[BoatieBird]

Chicken, bacon and leek pie (not homemade), mash, broccoli, carrots and sprouts.

 

[cesare]

Oven baked salmon curry with baked tandoori cauliflower and basmati rice. Can't wait.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Absolutely gorgeous late lunch of fish by the seaside, totally stuffed. Crisps and wine for tea…

 

[RubyToogood]

Farmers' market macaroni cheese, red cabbage with apple, onion and juniper berries.

 

[Aladdin]

Chicken casserole, roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, broccoli, carrots and parsnips.. followed by apple tart abd custard

Cor... what time round yours then?

 

[Epona]

Haven't posted my tea for a few days, very slack!!!

Tonight I'm having Pigs in Blankets, Roast Potatoes, a couple of Stuffing Balls that I found in the freezer, Peas, and Gravy.

Wednesday: Remains of my Sichuan style chicken stir fry with some noodles stirred in, I really wish I'd done rice instead though because the noodles weren't all that - it was OK though
Thursday: Sausage & butterbean casserole (Hairy Bikers recipe) with basmati rice
Friday: Beef and mustard sarnie, fake Guylian hazelnut praline chocolate shells
Saturday: Penne all'Amatriciana (managed to microplane my finger when I was adding parmesan, ouch!)

 

[Epona]

I haven't cooked yet as I like to eat late, and I find myself idly wondering how a toad in the hole made with pigs in blankets would turn out...

 

[mrsfran]

This week's meal prep - Cajun chicken, roast red pepper, kale, garlic and coriander couscous.

So organised mrsfran. I could do with doing this for lunches. It might stop me eating too much bread.

You can do things to make it really easy for yourself - the roast peppers are from a jar, the couscous is a pre-flavoured packet, the kale was pre-chopped, all I really had to do was prep the chicken by covering it in yoghurt and Cajun spices, and fry it. Whole thing took half an hour.
