What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Voley]

Oh yes. I've got some Haagen Daaz ice cream too. Pralines and dick flavour.

 

[Biddlybee]

Is that a new one?

 

[Voley]

Is that a new one?

My favourite insult from Waynes World.

If Benjamin were an ice cream flavour, he'd be pralines and dick.

Venison steaks & mojitos

Yer'tis:

Ful Mudammus (Egyptian Breakfast)


2 x 300g tins fava (broad) beans (or soak the dried beans then boil til soft)
4 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper
½ tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic (crushed)
4 hard boiled eggs
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
Boil or microwave the beans until quite soft, then drain and pour into a mixing bowl.

Add 2 tbsp oil, salt, pepper, coriander, cumin lemon juice & garlic. Stir well, allowing some beans to become crushed.
Transfer to four serving bowls, place an egg on each, drizzle with more oil and sprinkle with chopped coriander.

The original recipe used less beans and twice as much lemon juice, but I like it like this. None of the versions of this I’ve seen of this elsewhere include the egg, but I reckon it makes it. If I‘m doing this for loads of people, or I feel like it, I chop the egg and mix it in.

ringo, do you reckon tins are good enough? It certainly cuts down on all that soaking and boiling.

 

[Biddlybee]

A lot of people I know but ful medamas ready made in tins, then just add a few spices

 

[farmerbarleymow]

A pound of outdoor bred pork sausages with some mustard. No veg, out of sheer laziness.

 

[Voley]

I've just stuck half a leg of lamb in the oven which was on offer at Tescos. Haven't really got much veg in though so might just be having chips with it.

Sometimes that's best, to leave enough room for the meat as lamb is nicer hot.

 

[nogojones]

roast squash and cumin soup

 

[kittyP]

I dunno. Tired, lazy, poorly, meh.
I want burgers and booze though

 

[ringo]

I've only ever used tins, I just warm them up

[foamy]

Lamb koftas which were flavoured with mint/parsley/harrisa/feta. rice salad with piccolino tomatoes and cucumber.
A yoghurt for pudding whilst I made the lamb marinade for tomorrow and a baked blueberry cheesecake. Everything in the kitchen is now dirty, there's not even a clean teaspoon for a cuppa!

 

[Thimble Queen]

Prawn, egg and leek dumplings, chilli spiced kelp, spicy lamb skewers and spicy red snapper skewers. Washed down with a couple of tsing tao beers. £17 for the lot billy bargain.

I've just stuck half a leg of lamb in the oven which was on offer at Tescos. Haven't really got much veg in though so might just be having chips with it.

I bought this too. I was going to get a rotisserie chicken but the lamb was cheaper and I love it.

Cooked it with rosemary and garlic and had it with new potatoes, corn on the cob and salad. It was bloody lush.

Tonight we were meant to have chilli but yet again the meat wasn't defrosted so we ordered burger and chips. We fail at meal planning.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Yesterday I had a wrap with bacon, sausage, lettuce, egg and spicy sauce in. And a block of spicy tofu on a stick.

Tonight I am going to do cajun chicken with a salad, and brown rice. Honey mustard dressing for the salad.

 

[Looby]

Chilli and rice tonight that we should have had last night.

Does anyone else go off stuff suddenly? Spag bol has consistently been one of my favourite meals for a long time which is good because it's easy.

The last few times I really haven't enjoyed it and I've totally gone off it.
: (

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Yes I go off stuff suddenly too, it really irks Mr Yu as he doesn't seem to ever have it happen to him. It happened to me with Thai Curry about four years ago and I've only just started cooking it again recently.

 

[moose]

Yes, I was queen of the risotto but haven't made one for ages.

 

[killer b]

I'm using a Rick Stein recipe from his Far Eastern Odyssey cookbook. I think it's Sri Lankan in origin, uses quite a lot of spices plus vinegar and coconut.

Never made this one before so I hope it's nice
