What’s For Dinner?

[RabbitsRock]

We’re having Cumberland sausages, steakhouse oven chips & baked beans but always like these threads for inspiration.

Paneer balti, Bombay potatoes and all the poppadums and naan!

I'm going for lunch with my sister, but we haven't decided on a restaurant yet.

Cold cuts, olives and salad.
Can't be bothered with cooking in hot weather.

Pic-nic food from M&S! What would we do without their 3 for £8 deal in a heatwave, I wonder?

I will make insalata (Afghan carrot & coriander salad) to go with plus some avocado. Strawberries afterwards.

I’m doing gochuchang salmon with stir fried veg/noodles

Home made pizza tonight as we always do and it's the teens favourite (and it's very vegetable heavy so win win all around)
But have been channelling our inner Greeks a lot this week
Rice with orzo, fresh herbs and lemon has gone down a treat this week with many salads
Slices of cold watermelon from the fridge as a snack
And off to find some peaches and strawberries a bit later

Love summer fruit

I'm trying to use up odds & sods from the freezer - just taken a duck breast out to defrost then I know will have to have that tonight! Plus roasted spicy cauliflower done in the air fryer.

Bolognaise, i was considering lasangne but i can't be bothered faffing with hob then oven.

Oh that sounds lovely.

We had a freezer mishap last night so I am using up a whole bag of peas to make a pasta sauce

Donald Russell pork and caramelized onion sausages, mash and cabbage. DH will have gravy with his.

Aforementioned duck and cauliflower which I had for lunch, as now going out for dinner

Looks delicious enjoy your dinner out.

Spanish omelette, with a Magnum for pudding.

Thai curry, just a quick one with shop bought paste and coconut milk. Weather to nice to fanny about and go all in making paste.

How did you cook the duck?

Yesterday was an assortment of salads plus chicken shawarma (Felicity Cloake recipe) for the carnivores and grilled halloumi for me.
The night before that, fish cake tacos (Ottolenghi recipe)

Tonight I’ve run out of inspiration and oomph - it’s 32° and I want naps and choc ices.

It was a small breast, approx 150g, so didn't need much cooking:

• Scored the skin and seasoned with salt & pepper then put skin side down in a cold non-stick frying pan - no oil
• turned on heat to medium for about 5 minutes - the skin browns and turns crisp. The photo looks a bit pale but the skin was browner and crispier than it looks!
• turned to other side for about 3 minutes - then leave to rest for a few minutes before slicing.

All very tasty!
