what shall I cook tonight?

[Rollerbird]

What are you having?
I struggle to decide!
For me and dp.
He normally cooks as I work in the evening.
He does chilli, lots of Indian food, roast,
He doesn't like chops or risotto or 'stew' or pies
Any ideas for something nice?
Going to the supermarket soon

I made a really nice chorizo pasta bake from the BBC good food website the other night. That with a salad?

Anything you need to use up?

That sounded a bit PA sorry!! Do you have anything you need to use up? We can suggest a recipe!

Some green beans fridge, lots of eggs

We're having either kale sautéed with chorizo with a fried egg on top and garlic bread, or mushroom and courgette creamy cheesy pasta.

Filthy macaroni here. I use the recipe from the Two Chubby Cubs website and it is a house favourite.

We both like chorizo so that's a good start!

Seared tuna steaks, new potatoes, green beans, hard boiled eggs (deconstructed salade Niçoise!)

Boiled egg curry

Frittata

Slow roast pork belly, potatoes roasted with lemon and fennel seeds till they go fudgy, sharply dressed green beans on the side

DH & DS are having BBQed sausages, new potatoes with spring onion, tarragon and parsley in lemon butter, asparagus, and some very garlicky mayonnaise.

We are having sticky mango chicken, rice and salad. Toddler will have homemade chips as he hates rice.

Liking the tuna steak idea or chorizo pasta bake
The pork belly for tomorrow If I cook then too!

Sticky mango chicken sounds nice
I'm getting some good ideas here!

Made mexican fajitas
with the added option of chopped lettuce, grated carrot, grated cheese

We are having steak pies , mash , carrot and turnip and marrowfat peas with gravy . We are all full of cold boo boo ! Comfort food it is !

We are making our own burgers (got lovely mince from the butcher), and I’ve bought some nice brioche buns and all the trimmings for them.

How about a Mexican inspired frittata using the chorizo? Add peppers, onion, tomato, cheese and coriander.

We’re having Mexican. Fajitas, burritos, Mexican rice, tortilla chips and dips. Love guacamole 🥑

We're having a giant pasty. Potato, leeks, cabbage and cheese done in a pack of pastry folded over. With salad. It's a very lazy pie.

Possibly salady stuff - feta, tomatoes, rocket and crusty bread. Or smoked cod with cabbage, maybe in a colcanon with a poached egg.

We have frittata quite a lot - he cooks it.

Feta salad is a good one maybe.

I'm totally on board with the idea of a frittata. Just an FYI, the chorizo sold in England is Spanish and not Mexican. Mexican chorizo is raw, uncooked pork while Spanish chorizo is cured and smoked.

But yeah, definitely make a frittata OP.

Or make a salad nicoise

@Xiaoxiong want to know more about your kale and chorizo- is there a recipe? Dyu boil or fry your kale?

OP- I'm making a lazy roast tonight- chicken breasts, frozen roasties and loadsa veg!

I'm doing the tuna nicoise
And pork tomorrow

@Rollerbird yes there is a base recipe from Nigella's How to Cook - see attached. But now I often go off piste, so I'll sometimes use regular pork sausages and add fennel seeds and chilli flakes, fry peppers and onions together with the sausage, all sorts, leave out the egg and we have sriracha or kimchi instead. You can use any kind of greens as well, except spinach which cooks down too much. But chard, Savoy cabbage, spring greens, hispi cabbage, cavolo Nero all work. It's a great way to get a lot of greens in!
