What's for tea tonight? (#8)

It’s not only tasty but it also has the similar texture and mouth feel to real chicken. And it freezes well.

Personally, I think there are other mushrooms that have better flavour but I’m always glad to have CotW.
I dislike mushrooms in general but want to try this and the giant puffball ones. Finding them seems to be another problem.
 
Last night I made a lentil, carrot, courgette and potato stew, MrShakes request as he’s off to london this morning to see his mum so will be eating out all week

Tonight, early picnic tea on the beach. Prawns and tomato and red onion salad are my contribution- handily my friend tried to change the time so she ended up doing my cooking as I’m volunteering at soup kitchen today!
 
Burgers tonight.

Supermarket beef quarter pounders for me, Plant Revolution veggie burgers for N, in white burger buns with sliced tomato. I'll have fried onions, a slice of cheddar, mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard in mine. He'll have mayonnaise and some leftover nacho chilli cheese dip that we got on yellow sticker.
Home made oven chips (oven will be on for his burger so makes sense to do them in there rather than the air fryer).

A friend found a CotW yesterday and gave me a big chunk. Fried some of the softer bits with oil and garlic and texture was maybe a bit too chicken-y for me but will try the rest in a sauce (someone else has a great recipe for chicken, cream, tarragon and sun dried tomato pasta sauce that I think could work for me and I have tonnes of tarragon growing). The harder bits he said he dehydrates and powders so might try that too as I think they would be much to tough for my tastes even stewed.
 
Soup tonight - got people coming over and one is GF and one no garlic (other alliums fine) so have done onion, fennel, tomatoes, courgettes, potato, kale, red lentil. Might add some sort of bean if it needs more. Plus rosemary, thyme, tarragon, basil, oregano. All from allotment apart from the onion so good for using atuff up. Will add some garlic to mine (and anyone else who wants it) on serving (which I often do anyway). Quite enjoying the start of soup season so far!
 
We are also on soup! Tuscan borlotti bean and tomato soup, with courgettes and celery in it too and a parmesan rind, and along with the herbs, I got some of that Nooch, cos thought we could maybe use some of the nutritional yeast. It'll be yet another level of umami flavouring too. So soup with a hunk of homebaked 8 seed wholemeal bread.

Key lime pie for afters.

Ooh yes, I've got nutritional yeast, will add some, great idea. I like the tiny pasta shapes in soup when I'm not doing it GF.
 
Late one tonight of sausage, red onion and potato traybake.
(Although I was torn between that and sausage, mash, peas and gravy - but that's a bit more effort than the bung it all in a roasting dish for a bit method which is all I feel like doing tonight - also more washing up that way)
