What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[mrsfran]

Vegetarian meatballs and cannellini beans in a tomato sauce with some Moroccan spices? With rice? I don't know, making it up.

 

[Epona]

Stir fry with chicken, cashews, mushrooms, peppers, onion, spring onion etc. etc. served with plain rice.
Will do extra rice and any leftovers can be turned into fried rice tomorrow, also N can have a prawn and veg fried rice tomorrow so that's at least one meal each sorted for tomorrow.
I might take my leftovers with me tomorrow and have them either cold or nuked to reheat for lunch.

 

[Monte]

Cauliflower, fusilli and celeriac cheese. Is that a cauliflower cheese with extra things or a macaroni cheese with the wrong pasta and extra things? Who can say.

It's a gratin.

 

[Monte]

Haricot and borlotti bean goulash with white rice.

 

[RubyToogood]

Smoked tofu traybake and rice.

What goes into the traybake? Other than smoked tofu obv.

 

[BoatieBird]

What goes into the traybake? Other than smoked tofu obv.

Today's was Aldi's smoked tofu (cubed), tenderstem broccoli, baby corn, green beans and red pepper with Chinese 5 spice and roasted sesame oil.

Mix it all up with your hands to get it all good and coated and stick it in a hot oven for 20 minutes.

I sometimes do it with smoked paprika, garlic and EVOO

That sounds fit as fuck. Where did you get the roasted sesame oil?

That should have read toasted, not roasted!
Can't remember where I got it, maybe Ocado?
It's pricey, but lush, and a little goes a long way.

The vegetarian meatballs were M&S Plant Kitchen and they were TERRIBLE. None of us could get through even one. A rare misfire from the Plant Kitchen range.

 

[sojourner]

Mexican bean soup, sea salty wedges.

Last of the fit lemon cake. It got even tastier with each day. Totally making that again.

 

[Epona]

Greek style(ish) traybakes - chicken thighs for me, halloumi for N, with courgette, red and yellow peppers, red onion, and potato (with olive oil, garlic, chilli flakes, oregano, salt, black pepper and lemon juice).
Served with spanakorizo (Greek lemon/spinach/dill rice), yoghurt mint dressing, hoummous and pitta bread.
I had a glass of retsina (just the Kourtaki from Sainsburys, not the nicer Lidl stuff which I am currently out of until Greek Week rolls round again!) N had cola as he is working tonight.

So yep we triple carbed it Aegean style

 

[Numbers]

Full roast today, beef, roasties, yorkies, veg, gravy. Forgot stuffing tho’

Mrs N made a chicken loaf y/day with a big trough of rice and peas, which we have plenty left of both so we’re gonna have a full week of glorious food for lunch/dinner.

Minus the roasties (for week ahead) tho’ as probably be popping them like sweeties watching Crufts even after main dinner.

When we do roast spuds I always eat too many.

 

[mrsfran]

Roast chicken dinner, cooked by Santino

 

[Saffy]

I cooked my Mum a roast chicken dinner and we had key lime pie for pudding with raspberries.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Having a go at these. Will probably oven rather than fry & have with roast veg.

These sprightly, mint-infused fritters are great straight from the pan, but taste even funkier after a rest of 20 minutes or so

The last lump of Christmas ham from the freezer in a cheesy pasta bake with leeks and broccoli

Interesting choice of phrase in that article headline, I'd never considered "taste even funkier" as a good thing when talking about food - I'd associate that with "it's gone off, better not eat it"

 

[newme]

Giant kebabs, no cooking!

 

[shakespearegirl]

Steak, fried onions, roasted cube potato and Brussels

First batch.

 

[Epona]

Steak, fried onions, roasted cube potato and Brussels

This is what I want, I woke up thinking about steak with chips, peas and mushrooms - I might have a rummage in the freezer to see if I have any rump steaks left, and then freeze the chicken and sausages that are in the fridge and have those another day (otherwise it's either going to be something chicken based or sausage based, with the rest going in the freezer).

 

[May Kasahara]

My youngest is making a mother's day chicken jalfrezi with rice. I am forcing myself to stay out of the kitchen and not be a control freak

Get in, I located a rump steak in the freezer!

Steak, home made fries done in the air fryer, peas, mushrooms fried in butter in the pan the steak was in while the steak is resting, then deglazed with brandy and red wine, thyme and a bit of garlic, maybe some red onion in with the mushrooms too.
Oh must also check the freezer to see if we have any onion rings.

 

[Aladdin]

Chicken curry and rice. Naan bread.

Whisky cake for dessert

 

[kalidarkone]

Hotdogs,meatballs and spaghetti in tomato sauce, with courgette and red pepper, mozzarella and parmigiano topping.

Weeknight orzotto, nice and easy.

 

[Saffy]

Leftovers from our roast chicken dinner yesterday. I find it impossible to not cook for 6 people.
I have a big box of Lindt chocolates that my dog gave me for mother's day, so those for pudding if needed.
