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.

 

[BoatieBird]

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

 

[sojourner]

Wholewheat penne in a spinach and mascarpone sauce, topped with parmesan and toasted pine nuts.

Vanilla slice and a decaff tea.

 

[pinkmonkey]

I'm at my parents house on my own tonight, I'm still busy flinging things in a skip/sorting things out. So Lidl has bresaola so I think I'll have one of my fave Italian salads - you have it with rocket, shaved parmesan, balsamic and olive oil. And invariably some more Huel, I've been mostly living on that, no time to do much food prep.

That salad sounds lovely!
I hope the sorting stuff out goes well.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Last batch of spag bol and gonna try and save a bit to put on baked taties tommorow with cheese.

 

[Numbers]

I’ve been getting into salad leaf wraps lately, so fresh and healthy (I’ve given up bread). Tonight it’s shredded chilli and lime chicken breast mixed with hummus, avacadoe and spring onions in gem lettuce wraps. I either use gem or iceberg.

 

[mrsfran]

Santino is doing a Tuscan bean and pasta soup.

 

[tony.c]

Beef koftas with lentils, and rice.
