What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[TruXta]

Chorizo and chickpea casserole perhaps.

 

[Me76]

A Subway with not enough sauce as I have football. I think next evening game I may just get a portion of chips and have done with it.

 

[killer b]

meatballs & pasta. home made chocs for pudding (testing them for xmas, right? )

 

[Addy]

sausage casserole & garlic & herb diced tatties

 

[zenie]

Mussels in white wine sauce with parmesan. Crusty bread and butter to mopp the juices up. There is enough for two but my flatmate has gone out so I guess I'll have to eat all the mussels myself!

 

[TruXta]

Chorizo and roast pork stew with beans and chickpeas.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I wasn't sure this would work, but BL has just declared it a triumph

I chopped up some small strong onions, cut the rind off some Middle Bacon, put the rind under the grill, chopped the bacon and cooked it with the onions in some butter till the bacon was cooked and the onions all melty. I then chopped up a load of curly kale and cooked it (wash well, drain the water off, put it wet into a saucepan with a tight lid and steam it). I cooked up some tiny pasta shells (the kind you put in soup). I drained the pasta and then stirred in the kale and bacony onions till they were well mixed adding a few chilli flakes and some ground black pepper. Then I crumbled up the crispy bacon rinds (remember them?) on top as a garnish.

Kale and bacon - you might want some mustard with that. Sounds lovely either way.

 

[Orang Utan]

Heartbreak hash with extra chipotle zing

 

[gaijingirl]

I have just had a lovely baked potato, courtesy of @Biddlybee and her emergency baking potatoes. With cheese and coleslaw.

I said a little potato prayer in thanks of Biddly when I was doing the toppings.

 

[colacubes]

Cauli cheese

Heartbreak hash with extra chipotle zing

Had this with onsen eggs. Perfect soft eggs. No more poaching

 

[Thimble Queen]

Spicy veggy stew with barley

Stew turned out better than i thought... Added loadsa of posh paprika that my colleagues bought me and stired through some parmesan at the end. Sssh don't tell the boy though he thinks he doesn't like parmesan

Hairy Bikers sausage casserole. I've got most of the people I work with to sample the wonders of this recently and have converted them to its rich meaty wine-drenched ways. Nice bit of crusty French bread to go with it and some decent red to wash it down.

Gave this a go last night as you keep on about how good it is

It was great, really hearty, wish I'd done some mash to go with it though, that would have been perfect. I did ignore one bit though - why would you cook the sausages, bacon, onions, wine, stock etc in one pan, and then move the whole lot to another for the final cooking? In theory you should be able to mostly deglaze the pan, but at least some of the lovely dark bits stuck the bottom would be lost and you have to wash up two pans

Anyway, we'll be having that again.

Tonight is spaghetti aglio olio

 

[Biddlybee]

Not sure, maybe veg stirfry or baked fish with coleslaw

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Baked fish and coleslaw sounds nice Biddly.

Sausage cassarole for tea, with brown rice. Can't wait, so hungry.

 

[Biddlybee]

Less work too

 

[mrsfran]

Vegetable and pearl barley casserole for me - but a ready meal version, not home-made. I will be doing the first stage of the pickled-onion-making process tonight though, for Christmas gifts.

 

[Biddlybee]

Had this with onsen eggs. Perfect soft eggs. No more poaching

What are these please?

 

[TitanSound]

Made a beef/red wine stew last night. Started it as soon as I got home and then we blitz cleaned the flat so 3 hours cooking time in total. Was epic. Both me and the gf have leftovers for lunch.

Tonight, I'm taking my brother to the Turkish kebab place in Ladbroke Grove. The lamb chops are too good!!!

 

[sojourner]

Pasta and an LG sauce - chargrilled veg apparently. Was going cheap int shop.

 

[zenie]

Heartbreak hash with extra chipotle zing

I'm not your type

 

[sheothebudworths]

We had a chinese last night....too knackered and fucked off to cook and we deserved a treat

SLIGHTLY stupid though cos my son's making spring rolls at school today ....so tonight it'll be those with the little bits of leftovers from yesterday (salt and chilli ribs, sweet and sour chicken balls and prawn crackers, I think), unless the spring rolls are not nice (that's what HE said, mind...I said I was SURE they'd be lovely! )....in which case we'll have a chicken/sweetcorn/potato soup with loads of cheddar (I fancy that anyway, tbf! ...but if not today, tomorrow!).

Have brought them back a couple of puddings from work too....a chocolate cheesecake and some some of chocolate custard pudding thing

 

[BoatieBird]

Probably a prawn pilau type thing.
