What's for tea tonight?

[story]

Are you one of them coeliacans then? I heard that these allergies are all the rage now, like, being allergic to animal wheat because of cruely isnt it or something? All the celebs are doing it... its supposed to work wonders for your figure

Not coeliac, no.

My body just tends to be happier if I don't eat wheat every day though.

The faranitas had us farting long and loud thigh - that'll be the chickpea, I shouldn't wonder





ETA not faranita... farinata

 

[pootle]

I'm having another portion of last nights chicken and chickpea stew that I made last night. There was also halloumi cheese you'll be pleased to hear.

I made loads though - will it freeze ok? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm making the transistion from "stuff on an oven tray/microwave" type to trying to make meals from scratch...

I'd say yes. Leave some space at the top of the container, cos when you freeze wet stuff, the ice/water expands, and can push off the lid and be annoying

I need inspiration. It's just me tonight, so no big casseroles or owt. Needs to be healthy and tasty.

what have you got?

 

[mrsfran]

All the basics - rice, pasta, herbs & spices, etc. and I'm off to waitrose after work so can pick stuff up.

Things I like: pretty much everything.

Ah - don't use the stuff, so didn't think of it.

What would be the problem there Aqua?

 

[aqua]

sometimes creamy sauces split when reheated

not always, depends very much on the dish

 

[Mogden]

It was the veggie bean burgers last night and my workmates are suffering for it today Think it's roast chicken legs tonight with jacket spuds or something.

Split sauce - one for missfrans thread about confused beginner chefs, methinks.

*bustles over to the other thread*

Curry goat tonight

Curry goat tonight

Mmm sounds nice - I've never had it before and always fancied it.

Tonight's is a cheat carbonara sauce, and I'm just bunging some chicken, bacon, and garlic in, and having with pasta.

But I have just purchased some fresh coriander from the brilliant little greengrocers in the village so it's lemontop's recipe for Taiwanese Hotpot tomorrow, yum! *must remember to take wontons out of freezer*

 

[Spion]

Fray Bentos steak and kidney pudd with a few chips. Mrs Spion's away and I just found it in the cupboard

Mushroom Risotto

Mushroom Risotto

Are you going for the record for how many risottos one person can eat in a year or something?

I like them!
What's wrong with eating lots of risotto?
I love making them and there's countless different kinds, just as there countless varieties of casseroles, stews, pasta dishes etc etc

 

[mrsfran]

None of you have told me what to have for tea yet. I am unable to think for myself!

 

[Orang Utan]

Anyway, I've not done a mushroom risotto and this time I'm using Carnaroli instead of Arborio. We live in exciting times....

You can't beat a risotto that's for sure, may fave at the moment is Asparagus and Pea.

Tonight we're having veggie stew and herb dumplings with mash.

Risotto!

 

[SubZeroCat]

I hate the way Americans pronounce it "riz-o-toe". They even drop the sound of the 't' a bit...

No offence matey! It's just, well you eat them all the time is all, and I just wondered! Don't you get a bit bored? Of course, I didn't realise there were THAT many different varieties - but it's basically the same base dish, isn't it?

Oh god yes. Whenever I watch Hell's Kitchen they always pronounce it like that and it makes me go a bit Ramsey at the telly.

Macaroni cheese

Roast peppers and onions with pasta

Check out the wiki suburban page?

 

[christonabike]

Lamb stew, mmmm baaaa

Isn't that just like asking 'don't you get bored of pasta?' Or 'don't you get bored of soup?' Or 'don't you get bored of potatoes?'
I do get bored of pasta as it happens - I don't cook it very often.
I don't eat risotto all the time anyway - about once or twice a fortnight

 

[SubZeroCat]

Yep

Others include "baysil" (basil) and "parmajaahn" (parmesan)

I reckon I'd punch someone in the face if they presented a 'baysil and parmejaahn riz-o-toe' to me.....

 

[Dubversion]

Risotto!

I'd eat risotto 3 or 4 times a week if i had the time and if Pie Face would let me

tonight - because she's out - i'm going to have risotto with wild mushrooms and borlotti beans to which I shall add some veggie sausages, and fuck all y'all
