Tonight we're having an Indian feast - mini samosas and bhajis, poppadums, sizzling spicy prawns and chickpea and swiss chard curry. I'm also going to cook up a chorizo, pork and bean stew for reheating next week when I'm knackered, and a parsnip and carrot soup for lunches.

The prawns and chickpeas were totally delicious. Looking forward to the stew tomorrow - it was pretty good fresh out of the oven and should be even better reheated.

Hungry today....

Ate well this weekend including an excellent roast lunch yesterday but only a toastie for dinner. I have a BIG SOUP for lunch but not sure what to do for dinner tonight.

Hmmmmm.....

We had the most amazing slow roasted brisket last night
We will be having it again next Sunday!

 

[Biddlybee]

Think it's going to be toad in the hole with mash, green beans or peas, and gravy.

It was sooo unbelievably easy!

Take a nice piece of rolled brisket and make sure there's a good layer of fat on it. Our bit was about 800g. Enough for 2 greedy peeps plus leftovers.

Sit it in a roasting tin on top of a few cloves of smashed garlic and some herbs (we used thyme but I imagine a bay leaf or two would also be good).

Pop in the oven uncovered at Gas 6 for 30 mins, then take it out, reduce the heat to gas 3, pour in some wine (just a bit to give it some moisture) and cover tightly with foil (or a lid).

Roast undisturbed for 3 hours whilst you go to the pub

We let it rest for the best part of 50 mins while we roasted some spuds and made gravy with the lovely rich winey garlicy juices.

Heaven on a plate!

Tonight, gsv's veggie bolognaise he spent yesterday afternoon making. Featuring everything except the kitchen sink: veggie mince, carrots, chopped tomatos, plum tomatos, garlic, bay leaf, quorn chunks, I think some peppers, probably some chili. It smells and looks great - gsv had a spoonful this morning and says it's a stunner.

 

[May Kasahara]

Oooh, I haven't had veggie bolognase (sp?) for ages. Think I'll make that tonight, cheers Cloo!

 

[sojourner]

Soup! And a crusty bloomer. Ooo ERRR missus

 

[crustychick]

we were meant to be having a thanksgiving dinner with our american housemate but it seems to have been cancelled, so I'll be having leftover stew instead. which is fine. cos it was very lush anyway

 

[crustychick]

Think it's going to be toad in the hole with mash, green beans or peas, and gravy.

ooooooh, I wanna make toad in the hole now!!! never made it before - can it work with veggie sausages - anyone got any particular recomendations???

 

[Biddlybee]

I've only made it once before can't see any reason why you can't do it with veggie sausages.

I put a bit of mustard and thyme in the batter; and sprinkled red onions over the sausages before pouring the batter in - think I might do the same tonight.

 

[mrsfran]

I like to use Cauldren's veggie sausages. I find the quorn ones are a weird texture and a bit smushy.

I have an American colleague who's husband was asked to invite all their friends over for Thanksgiving only he's invited them next Wednesday

Oooh.. last time I poured the batter round the sausages - might try popping them on top this time

[invisibleplanet]

It's a fast Monday tea - so bubble & squeak with leek and grilled lamb sausages.

 

[aqua]

that sounds fantastic IP

 

[invisibleplanet]

And only one pan to wash up I likes that part best, aqua!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

We're having blackbean soup, some sort of bread and a fistfull of mini Daim bars!

 

[invisibleplanet]

I must say I liked your roast-in-the-oven/go to the pub recipe, Mrs Miggins. Especially the three hours @pub part, though I'm not sure I'd be in a fit state to roast potatoes whilst sloshed

 

[aqua]
