What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[TitanSound]

Salmon last night was lovely. Made with pesto and pine nut crust. Yummy.

Tonight I'm going to do baked chicken (browned in pan first) wrapped in pancetta with Mozzarella and herbs. Probably do some creamed cannellini beans and spinach to go with it. Oh and a garlic bread of somesort.

 

[madzone]

Dunno. I'm out tonight.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Pork burgers with potato wedges plus some rocket salad. This recipe in fact, though i will probably add chilli rather than lemon to give the burgers a bit of a kick

[BoatieBird]

Cheers, kinda what I thought it would be then.

Mushrooms would be the perfect addition to this, but the boy doesn't like them so I don't use them.
I miss mushrooms

Jacket potato tonight with either cottage cheese or tuna and a big salad.

Oh, good tip, I'll be sure to add loads of shrooms then!

Johnny Vegas?

Tried that once and it kept repeating on me something awful.

Oh Johhny, no.

 

[crustychick]

I'm going to attempt a pearl barley risotto.

how was it?

 

[Maggot]

It was really tasty! It had Mascarpone in which made it creamy like a rice pudding.

Recipe is here: http://www.stylist.co.uk/life/recip...th-mushrooms-leeks-and-garlic#image-rotator-2

I would recommend boiling the pearl barley for longer than the 20-30 minutes in the recipe as it was still a bit chewy.

 

[TruXta]

Thinking I might do a French-style warm lentil salad. Not sure if sausages should be added.

 

[crustychick]

Spaghetti with walnuts, raisins and parsley as the boy loves walnuts. I won't be able to help myself adding some extra veg though - most probably mushrooms, and probably some mange tout as there's some in the fridge...

Are the walnuts etc in a sauce?

 

[Orang Utan]

walnuts go well with pasta, esp with blue cheese - nice contrast of textures

i'm having roast chicken apparently

 

[purenarcotic]

Vegetable grills, chips, peas.

 

[Voley]

Mrsfran's much-vouched-for sausage and lentil casserole with a big pile of roasted veggies. Finally conquered the chilli mountain last night so something a little less violent on the stomach for a few nights.

It was based on this recipe but I added some bonus mushrooms and courgettes. Also used a strong, hard (oo-er) sheep's cheese instead of the non-vegetarian parmesan sugguested! It were reeet lovely...

Fuck me this is good.

 

[Voley]

That sounds nice crustychick. Might have a go at that.

 

[TruXta]

Can't go wrong really with lentils and sausages.

 

[tarannau]

Chorizo and chicken stew, with pigeon peas and rice. Also have a big pot of stock bubbling away in the background with the remainder of Sunday's chicken. Vaguely eeking the fridge leftovers out and economising/planning food more until the end of the month after the obligatory blow out that is December. Also running down the freezer so that a nice new one can replace our tatty old model

 

[colacubes]

Lamb sausages new potatoes and green beans. I'm not sure whether I like lamb sausages.

 

[kittyP]

Not a recipe as such, I cooked some green and red split lentils with some veg bouilon and a couple of bay leaves. Fried some shallots, celery, mushrooms and a bit of garlic. Mixed it all together with loads of salt and pepper - it was moist enough to use like that, but you could add some stock and flour if it seems to dry.
The pastry was 4oz of plain white flour, 4 oz wholemeal plain, 2 oz butter and 2 oz of trex. Kneaded, rested then rolled. I blind baked it with some beans for about 10 mins, took the beans out, pricked the bottom and then baked again for another 10 mins. Then added the filling, the lid, brushed with egg and cooked until it was golden.

Cooooorrrrr!!!!

 

[kittyP]

Have a kind of mushroomy bolognese on the go

 

[Y_I_Otter]

We had chicken liver and button mushrooms, stroganoff-style, with wide egg noodles; steamed brussels sprouts and carrots; green salad. Pistachio cannoli from the bakery for dessert.

 

[colacubes]

Lamb sausages new potatoes and green beans. I'm not sure whether I like lamb sausages.

Change of plan as the boy's out drinking So beans and cheese on toast for me and he can forage when he gets in.

 

[krtek a houby]

Mash potato/sweet potato with crushed almond and basa fish with lemon and seasoning

 

[May Kasahara]

Spag bol. And Tyskie.

 

[Biddlybee]

[May Kasahara]

Car service day = 7 hours to kill in a small town (with kids in tow) = Polish lager.

 

[idumea]

I went for salmon wrapped in bacon and then roasted, with broccoli and honey and mustard dressing on the side.
