What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[sojourner]

Depending on how the day goes, either way too much beer and fags resulting in a crashing hangover for work tomorrow, or the more sensible option would be coming home at a reasonable time and having some pesto pasta with olives n stuff n parmesan. Last year's Folk N Verse day however led to the first option, cos it was too much fun to leave early

 

[May Kasahara]

salmon something.

 

[moonsi til]

just decided on a Linda McCartney 'steak & ale pie' and homemade wedges and onion gravy..

 

[Badgers]

Pasta, rice or couscous with some stuff chucked in it

 

[Greebo]

Meat & veg pie, if I get around to doing the pastry.

 

[madzone]

Beef massaman.

 

[Biddlybee]

lots and lots of veg.

 

[madzone]

I'm too tired to cook tea. Don't make me cook tea.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

Rainbow trout wrapped in chorizo (going to try to bake it without drying it out this time :rolleyes) with roasted sweet potato and butternut squash (with added garlic and turmeric for health). Might also boil up some sweetcorn come to think of it.

 

[sparkling]

Cold roast lamb left over from yesterday, red cabbage and mash with some old christmas pickles.
Might even dig out the christmas pudding we never ate as well

 

[Addy]

Rack of chinese marinated ribs, mint and chilli lamb kofta's, egg fried rice and spicey potato skins.

Baked spuds. The kids can do that.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Left over roast chicken something.... Maybe more toasted chicken and cheese sarnies

 

[moose]

Veggie frankfurters, griddled, with mushrooms and mustard in barmcakes.

Idid it anyway. It's a bit runny - wondering if I should thicken it

I did roast lamb on Friday and today the ends of meat on the bone went into a large pan with onions, pearl barley, carrots, garlic, rosemary etc. Very nice.

That sounds delicious. I've got loads of roast lamb left from yesterday. Do I just cut it off the bone and chuck it in a pot with the other bits?

 

[krtek a houby]

Stirfry and rice.

I just chucked the whole thing into a very large pan. The bones came out much later.

Yesterday was Moroccan slow roasted leg of lamb with roasted potatoes, parsnips and carrots, steamed sugar snap peas and gravy. Took a mountain of effort after an all nighter but so worth it when I served it up.

Nando's for lunch today, macaroni cheese tonight.

How long did you cook it for? Presumably you used some sort of stock?

 

[RubyToogood]

Stir fried salmon and kale with garlic oyster sauce. With rice.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Simmering on my propane burner is...

Finely chopped garlic, ginger, dried chillies and spring onion.

I will add diced potato, carrot, spinach and chorizo before adding a cup of water, coriander, ground pepper, oregano and fine pasta things. Yum

 

[Badgers]

Don't burn the garlic

I cooked it in water + the gravy I'd made with the roast till it fell off the bone, threw in pearl barley, onions and then other veg when the pearl barley was done. I bunged in a couple of good quality veg stock cubes as well (Kallo iirc). I think I used 5 onions.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I'm afraid I don't time stuff, I just look at it and taste, bunging stuff in as I go along.

Brilliant. Thanks.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I love pearl barley with lamb

 

[Orang Utan]

I am the most anal of timers, but it's necessary for me.
I had an amazing German lentil and frankfurter stew for dinner/tea, followed by haribo, marzipan and chinese shrimp crisps.
I'm hungry again, so I may have some tramp's buffet burgers.

 

[ringo]

Shepherds pie with the leftover roast lamb from Sunday, something veggie but undecided for the littlun.

 

[TitanSound]

Similar to ringo, leftover lamb in the fridge. £10 from Sainsbury's and I got a massive leg that has so far fed 2 people, given me a huge sandwich yesterday and enough leftover from that to go into a risotto tonight and then a curry tomorrow.
