As I've been told on here - in no uncertain terms - it's not an authentic Jollof recipe, but we like it:

Cod with a pancetta crumb and roasted veg
Vegetable biryanis
Sweet potato and parsnips rosti, topped with poached eggs with tender stem broccoli and green beans
Homemade veggie burgers (carrot, kidney bean and cumin) with apple slaw and chips
Harissa chicken with cous cous and some kind of veg

That’s all I need to plan as out for Sunday lunch at friends, then I’m off on my hols at an end of the week, where I will simply be selecting from a menu each night!

@AtleastitsnotMonday do you have a good vegetarian biryanis recipe?
Smokeahontas · 01/04/2022 21:27

I use this Biryani recipe it works with most veg.

Nnique · 01/04/2022 22:31

Don’t have a plan yet but some vague ideas.

Today we had shin beef stew with dumplings.

We’ll have the leftover stew for lunch tomorrow, mixed into some leftover borscht from the freezer. Slice of bread and butter for DH to pad it out.

Dinner tomorrow will be baked Camembert and walnuts with DH’s homemade ciabatta, plus olives and a salad. Possibly a glass of wine if I can be bothered to go get some!

Sunday I think I’m going to do chicken, but I haven’t decided what recipe/style yet. Might do a one-tray easy Sunday roast with potatoes and veg all in one.

Monday will likely be chorizo, butter bean and spinach stew, with garlic bread (made from leftover ciabatta).

Tuesday possibly a curry...Probably lamb, and some dal too.

That sounds lovely!

Bloodybridget · 02/04/2022 18:41

DP's DS was due to come for supper last night and I made a huge lentil and aubergine lasagne. Then he called to say he had Covid. So we'll be eating it again tonight instead of the seafood linguine I'd planned, and it will reappear at lunch tomorrow when we have other family coming (to supplement other dishes). Then if there's any left we'll finish it on Tuesday as I get home late. Unfortunately it's not even very nice Hmm
Monday night will be whatever needs eating most, because we're going away on Wednesday.
