What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[sheothebudworths]

I bet you did.

 

[kalidarkone]

King prawn green curry with brown basmati rice. This time I added lots of tahini and it is LUSH!!!

 

[killer b]

Pig cheek casserole with mash. Very nice too - I'll have it again: enough meat to feed us all for £1.50...

 

[aqua]

probably soup again, but this time I have the ingredients to make it myself (thank fuck)

going to make extra and freeze some too so I don't have to resort to cans again

 

[mrsfran]

I like canned soup, but then I am a sucker for salt.

Tonight we're having a lamb and chickpea casserole.

 

[aqua]

I like some (esp several of the baxters ones) but this one (baxters pea and ham) made me nearly puke is was so rank

 

[felixthecat]

A nice bit of rump steak with homemade wedges (ordinary potato and sweet potato mixed) and salad.

For dessert, applecake and cream.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Spaghetti with homemade roasted tomato passata and pork meatballs.

 

[ringo]

Cauliflower cheese, boiled new potatoes and steamed green beans.

Cauliflower cheese from Simon Hopkinsons' 'The Vegetarian Option'. A bit of work with the slow cooking in sections, draining and steeping and straining but worth it for the best cauliflower cheese I've ever eaten. One of the few recipes where I adhere to the 'strain and throw the solids away' part. In this case the onion, bay leaf and cloves, I used to just pick the inedible bits out 'cos I couldn't stand the thought of throwing away good food, but its worth it for the smooth, creamy sauce.

I can see why Hopkinson is so popular with other food writers, his enthusiasm is matched by his little tips which make the dish taste better, like draining the boiled cauliflower to get all the excess water out to avoid slushy, limpid florets.

 

[i_got_poison]

my tea is taste a little funky. i want to throw it away, but i've spent 15 minutes cooking it and the soya mince smelt off despite
having 2 year left on it's sell by date.

plus it's the last bit of food in the house.

i'm too lazy to go to the supermarket just yet.

 

[Kanda]

I just made about 4kg of spag bol. Waiting for the bread maker to ping and gonna have a bit with some bread and freeze the rest.

 

[moose]

Gnocchi baked in tomato/chilli sauce with parmesan topping, salad.

 

[Kanda]

Seeing as we're doing pics...

 

[newme]

Panchetta Carbonara. Delicious even if I say so myself. *procedes to feel very fat but satisfied enough to ignore the washing up*

 

[madzone]

kebab

 

[Badgers]

kebab

Lamb?
Chicken?
Type?
Shish?
Kofte?
Chilli sauce?

[madzone]

Whatever the ones in pitta are. Salad, pickled chilli things (which I ate even though I don't like them - more pissed than I realised) and garlic sauce. I ate about half of it and I can't remember what I did with the rest Might still be in the car I s'pose.

Tonight is a roast beef extravaganza

It might in your bed.

Melanzane Parmigiana for us tonight, and if it stops raining, I'll go to the Italian ice cream factory for something for afters.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

An M&S £10.00 deal - beef and ricotta rissoles, rosemary potatoes and chocolate mousse. May add a starter of taramasalata to it too.

 

[felixthecat]

Not sure yet but it WILL involve plum crumble.

 

[mentalchik]

What the horde refer to as the "prawny, curry, rice thing".......

 

[sheothebudworths]

Got some razor clams out of the freezer which were chewy as fuck the last time I cooked some (steamed, quickly) so going to try doing a clam corn chowder (with the last of my pathetic corn cobs) and see if cooking them for a little longer makes any difference or whether it's just that it's a waste of time having them at all unless they're absolutely fresh.

Rasberry and white choc mini muffin for pudding.

 

[wayward bob]

ribs, corn on the cob, probably black bean salad. unless my hangover gets the better of me in which case beans on toast.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Chili con carne, but I may have put a few too many chilies in it.

 

[Badgers]

Dunno tonight, something cheap involving whatever needs using up around the place.

Gonna do up some salsa in a minute.

 

[Cheesypoof]

The remains of last nights corned beef hash, mmm.

 

[Orang Utan]

pending approval, roast chicken stuffed with barley

 

[foamy]

I'm very jealous- I really want crumble but have no fruit for it!
We're having pea and panchetta risotto with salad leaves.
