What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[sojourner]

Mushroom stroganoff, brown rice, green beans. I would rather have a big peppers/bean chilli but can I be arsed? No I can not. Fella's only back late so I can't even get him to make it.

Sticky toffee pudding and custard for afters.

 

[Zorra]

Had a wisdom tooth out so nothing for me. Leftovers for everyone else and an early night apiece.

 

[mrsfran]

Freezer foraged beef stew and a pouch of rice.

 

[Epona]

Spinach and ricotta tortellini (shop bought) with an arrabbiata sauce (home made) and garlic bread (shop bought)

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Chicken parmo and chips which was ok.

 

[RubyToogood]

I made a pumpkin and chick pea stew with lots of smoked paprika and had it with quinoa.

I'm experimenting with cooking quinoa as it seems like a good rice cooker option. Slightly funny taste though. I don't remember it being that strong when I've had it made by other people.

 

[krtek a houby]

Another stew, maybe vegetarian. Not decided yet.

Last night I did a chicken and chorizo 'paella' in the slow cooker.
Chicken, chorizo, chopped toms, stock, spices etc. in for 3 hours, then rice, orange pepper and frozen peas in for another hour.
Totally inauthentic, but pretty tasty

That sounds lush!
I tend to say I'm having a paella-inspired dish too because a lot of the time it's "with adjustments" and I fear causing an international incident if I try to claim it as the real thing
I love all those varieties of one pan "with rice" dishes from various parts of the world though, I think a lot of them probably have similar culinary roots

Probably the bolognese from the freezer that we didn't eat yesterday. Ended up staying at my parents house all night - we cleared the garage out and discovered our water meter was pissing water out, Yorkshire Water sent a plumber out. in the evening.

Liked for bolognese which is one of my favourites, not for last night's water leak drama

 

[newme]

Frozen pizza, spicy chicken thing in a wrap, cornetto.

I have to start actually cooking things again this is getting ridiculous.

Also now found the air frier in a state two days in a row. Idk wtf it can get that bad in 24 hours.

 

[sojourner]

Leek and borlotti bean gratin, skin-on mashed spuds, carrots, gravy.

The sticky toffee pudding and custard we didn't have last night cos we demolished a packet of dark choc digestives instead.

 

[BoatieBird]

Jacket potato with butter and cheese

 

[Zorra]

Soy sauce chicken - boil a whole chicken (ideally, like this one, an organic chicken for £3 from the haggle shelf ) for 30 minutes in lots of soy/garlic/ginger/5 spice/stock then put it in the oven to go golden brown. Son made an amazing home made hoi sin sauce and egg fried rice to go with it plus broccoli/peas/edemame beans. Lovely!

 

[May Kasahara]

That sounds delicious Zorra.

We had salmon, mash, leeks and broccoli. Which was also pretty tasty, and comforting.

 

[mrsfran]

A chickpea and vegetable harissa stew type thing with rice.

 

[sojourner]

Braised green lentils, fuck-off big buttery baked spud each, sprouts and a smidge of veggie gravy.

Profiteroles for afters, the whole fucking lot between us. It is getting colder, after all, so we need to lay down some stores

 

[tony.c]

Chicken and green bean curry, basmati rice.

 

[Epona]

Last night we got a takeaway curry!
Chicken Bhuna for me
Veg Vindaloo for N
Sag Aloo
Mushroom Rice
Onion Bhajis
Veg Samosas
A peshwari naan to share (not my favourite, it always feels a bit like dessert!)

Tonight I am making pasta alla Norma as we have the rare event of an aubergine being in the house, they were on special in Lidl and I am going to make ratatouille with the rest of it.
Garlic bread.
I've also got a small bit of chicken bhuna left which I'll have on the side.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Sausage extravaganza dont know what with yet but i bet potatoes are involved.

 

[mrsfran]

Tomato and olive pasta bake.

 

[Zorra]

Spaghetti with meatballs, garlic bread and creamed spinach
