What's for tea tonight? (#8)

Roast pork, roast potatoes, sprouts with pancetta and walnuts, carrots, stuffing and cider gravy. Cheese and biscuits for afters!

I wavered between pork and chicken in the farm shop this morning. Still kind of wish I'd bought pork.

Plus, cheese and biscuits....mmmmmmmmm.
 
I have been shopping in the bristol sweetmart so have veg rotis, fiery honey parsnips, mattar paneerm mixed veg curry and green chilli pastry things.
 
tell me more.

From The Eagle (Gastropub) cookbook. I cut the layer of fat off a 1.5kg pork loin, but it should have been belly. Cube it and brown it in olive oil.
Cook 2 chopped onions & 3 garlic cloves in olive oil in a big casserole until translucent, then chuck the meat and juices in. Add a glass of white wine & some sherry or red wine vinegar, reduce then add a glass of water, tbsp of tomato puree & a good pinch of saffron. Simmer for 90 mins, chuck in 1kg frozen peas & 3 large, diced waxy potatoes & cook for another 30 mins. Serve in bowls sprinkled with parsley some crusty bread.
I missed out the potatoes & served it over mash, bloody lovely.

The other Spanish version would be to use chorizo & chick peas instead of saffron & peas, I might try that next time.
 
Just had a pub lunch for a mates birthday, had some lovely taste roast beef & then nutella cheesecake & 4 pints.

Leftover pork stew for tea.
 
I had absolutely no idea what to have as I am home alone this evening but a fridge and cupboard forage has uncovered the ingredients to make gnocchi with roasted butternut squash and sage in a creamy sauce which I'll have with some steamed spinach and have enough left over for lunch tomorrow too.
Pudding will be whatever appeals to my complete lack of will power :D
 
Pad Thai here.

Teenager is having a go at cooking once a week, I thought it best to try and help out with this where it's all about the prep then throwing stuff in quickly but I probably got in the way. It was nice but maybe a bit too spicey.
 
Disappointed with my jalfrezi. I expected better really, and after I ate it I realised it was halal meat.

Salmon steaks fried with garlic, cheesy mash and broccoli.

The mash was not great.
Mash is always great.
I don't upstand :(
I mashed it for ages but it was still lumpy and some of the lumps tasted funny :mad:
 
pizza with parma ham, spinnach & mozzarrela - freshly made for us to take home at local supermarket :cool: And some wine. :cool: Feels like it really should be Saturday though :(
 
Almighty fish casserole.

Garlic, onion, leeks, carrots fried in a pan with pepper and oregano in a small amount of olive oil.

Added water, red peppers, frozen peas and green beans. Simmered for an hour.

Added half a Kilo of haddock fillets. Made a roux sauce with parsley. Everything poured into a casserole dish with layers of potato on top. Drizzled with olive oil. 25 minutes in a hot oven.

Serve with fresh bread.

Gutted for you..:( I didn't have mine last night but my BF had the roti (roti bread filled with veg & spices folded over) and the chilli thing and said it was amazing. I was on my way home from Bristol and made a detour to the sweetmart as the paneer mattar is the best I have ever had.
 
I have some dried porcini, and fancy making something pasta-ish with them tonight, but all the recipes seem to be too milky/creamy for my liking.
