What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Orang Utan]

I'm fairly sure i saw the Merchant Gourmet packet ones there too!

Brixton's gone properly m/c when there's a thread on where to buy puy lentils.

Puy lentils are a traditional French peasant food, not exactly lobster stuffed with caviar

 

[Firky]

I went to the BBC website for some ideas for something to cook through the week and was confronted with 'Nigellissima' in big bold letters at the top of the screen. It immediately annoyed me enough to go to another website for recipe ideas.

I dug out the tagine, but I can't really think of anything to do with it other than make curry!

 

[wtfftw]

Dunno. Mainly wine followed by ice cream.

 

[BoatieBird]

I've just phoned home and asked the bloke to put a sweet potato in the oven.
I think I'll have tuna and salad with it.

 

[killer b]

boeuf bourguignon. just putting it on now, should be ready teatime.

the left overs of this, with potatoes boulangere.

 

[moose]

M&S leek and gruyere tart, boiled spuds, roasted broccoli.

French peasants are well middle class.

 

[twentythreedom]

Bacon steaks with chips, peas, carrots. Simple but effective, I'm sure you'll agree.

 

[Badgers]

Fishcakes, wedges and salad in dressing for wifey.

Pork in mustard and honey with fried Portobello mushrooms, wedges and salad for me.

 

[idumea]

I feel like death itself, so lentil soup/stew thing packed with nourishing goodness. Shredded pork knuckle and chorizo for flavour, stock, garlic, peas, spinach, carrots and mushrooms.

 

[gentlegreen]

cheese, crackers
stuffed egg plant from a can ....
Hope I can think of something more inspiring for pudding ....

 

[TruXta]

stuffed egg plant from a can

You don't deserve pudding, you monster.

 

[gentlegreen]

tapas innit ?
I have a can of mussels, but I don't think I'm up for that ..

 

[Orang Utan]

Tomato and chili risotto

 

[pinkmonkey]

Jus-roll pizza in the oven now - I used to get the roll-out pizza dough from Lidl (just like you can buy in the supermarket in Italy) but they stopped doing it. I saw this stuff today, comes in a can like those croissants.
On the tin it said, 2 pizzas, one pizza serves 4. Having rolled it out I can only come to the conclusion that they mean 4 pixies, it can't be humans.

 

[Orang Utan]

Tomato and chili risotto

No longer but
Why did I never think of it before?

 

[ringo]

Sounds quite good, never had any heat or spice in a risotto

 

[wtfftw]

Dunno. Mainly wine followed by ice cream.

Turned out to be salad, couscous, puy lentils.

 

[kalidarkone]

Horrible chicken curry There is loads of it. I think I'm gonna have to chuck it out. Its way off my usual standard.

[wtfftw]

Yeah basically. although there was still wine.

Cheap too.
About 3 meals for £1.50

Hugh Fearnly-Whittingtard does a yummy puy lentil salad with parsnips and watercress recipe - even the meat eating son likes it

 

[Greebo]

Bits from the freezer and a couple of chopped up potatoes, sort of slow cooked with a ham stock cube, the last of the dry cider, carraway seeds, lime juice, and cajun seasoning.

I love all that shit but not when I should be having a barbecue.

This post makes me feel very angry but it isn't your fault.

Fuck you and your puy lentils.

So I'll be getting the camping stove out for this week's culinary challenges, starting tonight with macaroni cheese.

Had a change of plan - decided to save macaroni cheese for the first meal in our new cooker

The littlun decided we should have veggie spag bol. Quite easy on the camping stove, but could only find mushrooms, butter beans, carrots, tomatoes and a bean feast.

has anyone ever eaten a Bean Feast within the use by date? This one went out of date in 2008, made absolutely no difference.

A pretty minging bolognese tbh, but the fambly liked it.

Tonight will be mushroom and cheese risotto. I have some taleggio I'd like to use, but I don't think it'll work in risotto, too soft.

Fuck you and your puy lentils.

You should try this, you might change your mind. I make the version from The Eagle cookbook, but this one will do, all variations on the French classic:
