what is for dinner?

[ChristmasRedSpottyScarf]

We are having chicken enchiladas.

Tomorrow we are having this - www.allrecipes.com/recipe/231282/hearty-italian-meatball-soup/

One of the best things you will ever eat in your life. :)

We had prosciutto wrapped chicken with asparagus, parmesan roast potatoes and a chicken and shallot butter sauce. Apple crumble currently in the oven for dessert

[PolytheneHam]

We had a take away today. Jerk Chicken with rice & pea, coleslaw, and steamed veg.

I've got bloody covid and we didn't have the right ingredients in to make anything that didn't involve standing up for any length of time (I'm not at death's door, but I feel rough.)

Our friends have picked up our Click & Collect order tonight though, so tomorrow will be slow cooked beef with shallots and mushrooms all put into a pie. After a day of living an bland rubbish, I'm genuinely excited!

DS (10) loved it. Served with broccoli.

[HeyMicky]

We had our third recipe from the Roasting Tim series - chipolatas, haricot beans, chorizo and tomatoes with some green beans on the side.

Such a good set of books, and hardly any washing up!

Tonight is beef rendang with rice, it's DD2's all time favourite, and she's doing so well at school, it seemed like a shout-out meal was in order!

[LittleOverwhelmed]

@mbosnz - do you have a recipe? Can you share please? I am sure that DS would like that.

Here it is homemade pizzas: dough made in the bread maker, M&S pizza sauce in a jar (which is great), grated cheddar cheese and toppings of choice (chorizo, mushrooms, sliced green pepper, herbs). DS helps make the dough and it is one of his favourite meals. Quite honestly it tastes as good as any good restaurant pizza...

These recipes are amazing. I will try them out. This is probably a good thread for me tonight because this is our wedding anniversary and so the weekend is filled with lots of joy. We have both been working today, but I have the best deal as I both work and live in our home. Having got sodden outside this morning in the rain, our food tonight is just perfect and we are having;

Starter - smokey garlic mushrooms with some thin croutons. I smoked the garlic over a small fire in the garden.

Main - wild goose, because this was a good year in the UK for sour cherries (best in my memory) so we are having that with oranges, apples basted with the fat, coriander seeds, garlic, and potato slices which will be fried in the goose fat at the end.

Pudding - nothing. I can't do them. Choc ice maybe.

Happy anniversary Tessiot, that sounds amazing!

LittleOverwhelmed, I'll collect the recipe book on my next pass to a sav blanc, and type it out for you. . .

Okay, so this is another reading from the good book of Annabel Langbein:

Serve with rice, and paratha bred, or poppadoms.

Ready in 3.5 hours (she lies, it takes a lot longer to reduce), serves 6, DF, GF.

6 cloves garlic, peeled
4 long red chillies, deseeded and coarsely chopped, or 2 tsp chilli paste
2 red onions, coarsely chopped
2 kaffir lime leaves, very finely chopped, or finely grated zest of 2 limes
2 tablesp. coarsely chopped fresh ginger
1 tbsp ground turmeric
1.5 c coconut cream
1.5 kg beef shin or cross cut blade/chuck steak, cut into chunks.
2 stalks lemongrass or 1 T finely chopped lemon grass.
1.5c water
1 T tamarind puree (optional)
1.5t salt
coriander/cilantro leaves to garnish

Place garlic, chillies, onions, kaffir lime leaves or lime zest, ginger and turmeric in a food processor with 1/4 cup of the coconut cream and blend to form a smooth paste. Transfer to a large pot and sizzle for a couple of minutes. Add beef, lemongrass, water, tamarind if using, salt and remaining coconut cream. Bring to a simmer then cover, reduce heat to lowest possible setting and cook for two hours, stirring occasionally. It can be prepared in advance to this stage, kept in the fridge for up to 48 hours and brought to room temperature before finishing cooking.

When ready to serve, uncover and cook over a medium heat until the sauce gets really thick and pasty (about 30-40 minutes). At the final stages watch the pot closely and stir often so it doesn't catch. If the coconut oil starts to separate out, just add a little more water. To serve, pile into a serving dish, removing whole lemongrass stalks, if using. Garnish with coriander/cilantro.

Lentil shepherds pie

[Mintjulia]

@mbosnz it's really quick and easy.

Slice the 'lid' of each pepper. Chop parsley, crush some garlic and mix them with sausagemeat and some seasoning. Pack the meat into the peppers. Put the lids back on, put in a dish with a teaspoon of oil and cook at 180 for half an hour. Put the garlic bread In the oven too for the last few minutes.

Some of these sound excellent!

Tonight we are having this. I've not cooked it before, so no idea what it's like.
