To ask for your foolproof/go to dinner!

[Philmitchell]

I am always cooking the same things
I need inspo!!!

You can only pick one recipe and you have to love it!

Mine would be tomato risotto with basil and mozzarella.

Hard to choose just one, but this one is always a winner in our house:

Jamie Oliver versatile veggie chilli - bloody lovely. Its the cinnamon that makes it.

BBC food burn aubergine chilli, rice, tortillas and dips

It's a winter one, mind, but we've loved it for over 20 years. Big baking potatoes brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with sea salt, baked, split lengthways, innards scooped out and mashed with butter, grated cheese and seasoning, then mix in a snipped up spring onion per potato, little tin of sweetcorn, drained, and some chunks of best ham (leave ham out to make vege). Pile mix back into skins placed an a baking tray, sprinkle a bit more grated cheese on top and pop back in the oven until the cheese is bubbling and golden. ☺️

I have a few but probably baked cod tacos. Healthy, super easy, quick, relatively cheap and tastes great.

Pasta, red pesto and philadelphia is a winner here.

Chicken fajitas

Pasta, red pesto and philadelphia is a winner here.

I do Pasta + Regular Basil Pesto + Prawns... takes like 10-15 minutes and super easy.

Bean cassoulet with merenguez sausages (added advantage, I can rescue some out first for the pesky vegetarian before I add the meat, she has Linda McCartney chorizo sausages) and I serve with homemade bread

Chicken stirfry with teriyaki sauce and sesame seed garnish!

Frozen chips, peas, cod in butter sauce. The food of gods.

Fajitas or Burritos.

Meatballs in a red wine, red onion and bacon gravy with cheesy mash and some sort of roasted vegetables. Definitely a winter dish though!

@NorthernDramaLlama that sounds lovely. How do you make it please?

Teriyaki salmon, with noodles and a few stir-fried veg. Always somehow better than I remember, and the kids like it too!

Such a quick and simple dinner, it's a bit hot in my house. Served with either fresh crusty bread roll to mop up the extra sauce or garlic bread

My family loves this chicken with mushrooms and orzo recipe. Especially on a cold rainy day.

Baked salmon with Charlotte potatoes, fennel and fresh greens.
Chop potatoes and fennel, oven cook for 45 mins, place on top half side of salmon and pour on fish stock, back in oven for 35 mins. Fresh greens on side.

Campfire stew
Stick it in the slow cooker and leave it. Goes well with mash, rice, jackets or sweet potato

Pizza, I use the Delia recipe with strong flour. I make two one with meat, salami etc the other with fish.
Never fails.

Delia Smith's pheasant in cream and apple sauce - but you can make it with guinea fowl or poussin or even chicken breasts at a push. Really easy and relatively quick but tastes lovely and 'sounds posh'

A tin of the finely chopped tomatoes- bit more expensive but worth it for some dishes. Heat with a crushed garlic clove, herbs, olive oil. Squirt of balsamic glaze. I cook it up for 20 mins.

Either serve on top of cous cous with roasted veg

Or

mix the Tom sauce with fusilli and serve with Parmesan and grilled garlic bread( sliced bread cut into triangles, drizzle with olive oil, toast on griddle with heavy pan on top to make it crisp. Once done I rub it with a raw garlic clove. YUM!

Delia's sausages in red wine casserole .

@violetbunny that sounds sooo good. What do you have it with?

I doo love a chilli.

My husband has something against baked potato so im not sure how that would go down @NewlyGranny

Home made pizza, using dough portions from the supermarket that we freeze. It's quick, easy and delicious.
