What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Epona]

Round 2 of my Bolognese sauce, although tonight I am going to cook some penne, make a cheese sauce, and turn it into a pasta bake.
Because I love a pasta bake and it changes it up from having the same meal 2 nights in a row.
Might also do some garlicky green or runner beans to go on the side (I need to cook up or at the very least blanch some of each anyway to freeze them before they start to look a bit sad, so I might just do garlicky beans with the whole lot and batch some up for freezer as well as having a portion tonight).

 

[May Kasahara]

Salmon, rice, steamed veg and stir fried veg.

 

[vinobella]

Char-paned Turkey Sausage, Onion, Garlic, Steamed Broccoli with Milky, Buttered, Whisked Mash, Salt 'n' Pepper to taste. 1st time cooking turkey sausage, they burn ops I mean "char" very quickly

 

[cesare]

Surprise fancy tea. Fillet steak, chips, rocket, peppercorn sauce and Dijon mustard. Just delicious

That looks good, what were the turkey sausages like?
I'd have been tempted to go a bit more Close Encounters with the mash, but then I am easily amused

 

[shakespearegirl]

Did a big bolognaise for me and veggie pasta sauce for him last night. Tonight will be Sunday roast with smuggled in parsnips.

 

[mrsfran]

Trying another Ottolenghi recipe today - stuffed aubergine in curry and coconut dal.

 

[newme]

Last night but so much made.
Chili on the left, lasagne filling on the right
chili was at least 10 500ml portions btw.


Lasagne so big the pan would not fit in any fridge or freezer we had.

daughters ridiculously delicious cupcakes. She is being creative again so pleased.

Also missing a huge serving dish of salad I did with Romaine, iceberg, cheddar, garlic sauce, mayo, english mustard, jalapeno juice, black pepper, salt, msg, red and green jalapenos mixed plus a load of side dishes for those that fancied a wrap. Next is remake the bulk box of 1kg mexicanish seasoning to be mildly altered each new cook.

 

[Numbers]

Roast chicken and veg, rice and peas.

 

[BoatieBird]

Roast chicken, roast potatoes, sweet potatoes and carrots, steamed broccoli and cabbage, gravy.

 

[Saffy]

Roast chicken, roast potatoes and parsnips, mashed swede, brussels, carrots, peas all served up in a quarter of a Yorkshire pudding.

Mini magnum for pudding.

Trying another Ottolenghi recipe today - stuffed aubergine in curry and coconut dal.

It was good!

 

[BoatieBird]

It was good!

Ooh, I think a friend made this for me recently.
We're the aubergines stuffed with paneer?
So good!

 

[mrsfran]

Yes, a mixture of grated paneer (you could also use firm tofu), mango pickle, lime zest and coriander.

They were nice, twice the price of pork though, I'm cooking them on a lower temp now, I steamed the pots & broccoli together that's why the mash is speckled green

 

[vinobella]

Round 2 ; Mash, broccoli, Garlic, Onion, Turkey Sausage & Yummy Gravy really makes the difference ​

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Bit of a clusterfuck. Had planed to do a massive batch cook of turkey chilli, done loads of prep, but stuff happened and it failed. So now I've got to do that on a weeknight.

On the plus side the most recent bolognaise I made and had a portion left in the freezer is one of the best I've done. Added to some Aldi linguine (rapidly becoming my favourite pasta shape for bol) it was some pretty good eating.

 

[mrsfran]

Tray bake tonight, with salmon for the adults and Quorn for daughter.

 

[Epona]

Burgers tonight - N has been going on about the long discontinued BK Mushroom Double Swiss, so I'm going down that route.
His will be veggie - plant revolution soya based burgers.
I'll go meat version, with some additional streaky bacon.
Fries on the side. Oh also looks like N is going on a wander and might pick up a bag of onion rings from Iceland. And we have some chilli popper type things in the freezer also.

 

[Numbers]

Steak and ale pie mushy pea smoked cheddar white loaf sangwich. Can’t feckin wait.

 

[Numbers]

We’re watching the Boris Johnson Rise & Fall doc’ at the moment so at least the sangwich will leave a good taste in my mouth.

 

[RubyToogood]

Wild garlic pesto as it's the season, with slightly ill-judged choice of pasta - strange Lidl special ravioli with pecorino and honey
Raw cauliflower.

 

[Saffy]

Last of the fish pie and broccoli.

Mini magnum for pudding.

 

[cesare]

Chicken and leek pie day 2 with airfried broccoli and gravy.

We've been eating cheese, grapes, walnuts and pear afterwards.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Made the huge vat of turkey chilli I meant to make last night. Used some random stock I found in the freezer I don't remember making and mashed some pinto beans that were well past their best, so overcooked them. One of those ones you could never recreate, but it was great. Chilli is such a forgiving thing to make, you can just chuck anything at it.

Fuckin lovely sangwich Fam.

Fuck Boris Johnson the absolute Cunt.

 

[vinobella]

Mash & Lamb Chops

 

[mrsfran]

Trying One-Pot French Onion Pasta tonight -a mix of French onion soup and pasta. Have had the onions caramelizing for an hour now.

 

[BoatieBird]

Halloumi traybake, with loads of mushrooms as the boy isn't eating with us tonight.
He still won't eat mushrooms, but will occasionally manage to stomach some of the magic variety
