Roast chicken here too, always mash and roasties so no discussion there. Have gotten into a roast broccoli phase lately so will have that too, alongside some carrots.

Garlic and herb pork fillets with cheesy mash, roasties and veg. Any leftover pork will be used for a stir fry tomorrow

This sounds amazing but I wouldn't be able to convince the DC. During the week I'm happy to do separate dishes for them and nice stuff for me and DH, but on a Sunday I try and do something we will all enjoy.
Can you share the recipe please as I'll definitely give it a go another day.

Here’s the piri piri meatball recipe. It’s from an Instagram page Amysheppardfood whose recipes are really good for families.

Piri Piri Meatballs & Flatbread
Meatballs:
50g panko
500g beef mince
3 spring onions very finely chopped
1/2 - 1tbsp Piri Piri seasoning

Spicy Oil:
25ml oil
1tbsp honey
1/2tbsp Piri Piri seasoning

Flatbreads:
200g strong white bread flour
1tsp sugar
1tsp salt
1tsp baking powder
1tbsp olive oil
130ml milk

Place panko into a large mixing bowl. Pour the milk over the top & stir until the milk is absorbed and the breadcrumbs are soft.

Add the beef mince, spring onions & Piri Piri seasoning. Season with salt and pepper.

Use your hands to combine the ingredients. Work it through with your hands for a minute or two until you can no longer see the breadcrumbs.

Divide the mixture into 16 equal sized meatballs rolling each one in the palm of your hands before placing them on a lined baking tray.

Place the oil in a small bowl with the honey and Piri Piri seasoning. Mix thoroughly. (If the honey is a bit thick warm the mixture in the microwave briefly)

Drizzle the spicy oil over the meatballs and roll them around until coated.

Squash the meatballs with the prongs of a fork vertically then horizontally.

Heat the oven to 200C and make the flatbreads.

Place the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a mixing bowl, stir the ingredients together.

Add the olive oil and milk. Stir until you have a dough.

Briefly knead it before dividing into 4 equal pieces and rolling it out thinly on a floured surface.

Put the meatballs in the oven for 15 minutes until cooked through.

Pan fry the flatbreads in a hot griddle or pan sprayed with a little oil. Fry for 2 minutes on each side until cooked through.

Serve with the meatballs, a little yogurt, salad and buttery new potatoes.

Awesome thanks, I think I'm going to try this. Will leave out the piri piri in few meatballs for the youngest DC.

What piri piri seasoning would you recommend please?

Roast chicken, roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli, asparagus and peas. Yorkshire puddings depending on if I have time

Twotimesrhymes · 07/07/2024 11:13

unusual for us but heading out with a voucher we got from a family member

but when I don’t know what to cook I usually make fajitas or chicken skewers (I buy the skewers in the summer in b&m etc) sprinkle on bbq or Cajun and roast baby potatoes and veg

or salmon and mash is a winner here or Thai green curry (I just use paste and tin of coconut milk) I don’t make it from scratch
