...to ask what you're making for dinner this evening?

[Clubbercised]

I'm looking for inspiration ! Plus, I just really like these threads .

@hookiwooki ha! We’re in NW London but full of the lurgy so you probably don’t want to come tonight!! Recipe changes as I’m disorganised but if I’ve got my game on it should be this (and I’m rubbish at quantities so sorry!)

Chicken tikka

Chicken breasts
0% natural yoghurt
Ground cumin
Ground coriander
Curry powder
Mint sauce
Lemon juice

Chop chicken
Mix together everything else
Add chicken
Leave in fridge overnight

daal

1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
Garam masala powder
Curry powder
Black mustard seeds
Dried red lentils

Chop onion and garlic and fry for 5 mins
Add spices and fry for a few minutes more
Add lentils and enough boiling water to cover
Cook until really really mushy (depending on lentils maybe half an hour/45 mins) stirring occasionally

Sweet potatoes

One large sweet potato
Ground cumin
Oil

Chop sweet potato into 1cm cubes
Toss in oil and cumin
Roast in oven for 30 mins turning occasionally

Mint yogurt

0% natural yogurt
Mint sauce
Ground cumin
Ground coriander
A little sugar/sweetener if it needs it

Mix all together

Pickled red onions

Red onion
Red wine vinegar to cover
Sugar/sweetener

Finely slice red onion
Mix in vinegar and sugar
Leave to sit for half an hour - stirring occasionally

everything else

Chop Spinach, Spring onions, Cooked beetroot, Radishes, Cucumber, Cherry tomatoes and combine in a big bowl

Grill the chicken tikka and top the salad with everything made above as well as shop bought mango chutney and broken up shop bought papadoms (I like the make at home cooked in the microwave instead of oil)

It is bloody lush - and sounds like a lot of work but isn’t once you’ve got the chopping out of the way!!

Cajun shrimp and rice.

I use this recipe, but with more tomatoes, garlic, and Cajun spice. I also serve the rice separately.

Jerk pork shoulder with mango salsa and lime rice

We are having left over chicken tikka massala that I made yesterday and rice.

I like these threads - good for inspiration!

Sweet potato and aubergine chilli with home made tortilla chips (cut up a wrap and roast in oven) delish and has our 5 a day in.

Goat shawarma here - will make flatbreads but have shop bought back ups incase it all goes a bit wrong. I have a patchy history with flatbreads!

We’re having Cowboy beans-

mince, butterbeans and roasted sweet potato (roasted with cinnamon and black pepper) mixed with passata and shop brought BBQ sauce. Serving with rice and tortilla chips.

Not particularly healthy, but one of my kids favourites!!

Pork and vegetable rice pilau.

Chilli, rice and wraps.
We are going on holiday tomorrow so I chucked all the veg that was in the drawer in it.

Stuffed mushrooms with sundried tomato and onion with wedges and salad for me and chicken wings with nandos rub with wedges and salad for DH.

Veggie burger and chips. 20ish mins, bish bash bosh!

Mac cheese with bacon

Nothing exciting here tonight.

Just tuna pasta bake.

Nothing. It's DH's turn, hooray!

Yesterday though I made Chinese chicken wraps, so yummy and quick! A bit like poor man's duck pancakes. Chicken thighs baked in oven with some oil and hoisin sauce trickled over. Sliced up little gem lettuce and cucumber into batons. Mini tortilla wraps.

Shredded cooked chicken with two forks, each person assembled own wraps (with extra sauce if desired) and applied to faces! Even my whinging 5 year old liked it.

Some lovely meals described on this thread
All a bit boring here - chicken, new potatoes, cauliflower cheese, carrots and peas

What is known as ‘the salmon thing’

Salmon fillets
Anchovies
Cherry tomatoes
Fine green beans
Juice of two limes
Olive oil. All chucked together and baked in oven served with couscous. It’s easy and delish

Duck stirfry and it was lovely

Fajitas and wedges

Mozarella stuffed meatballs with tomato sauce and sketti

Wagyu burgers (Aldi Special Buys), sweet potato wedges and salad.

Using up odds and sods as cant be arsed to go shopping (and have a splitting headache), so:

Orzo pesto bake with roasted aubergine, courgette and red pepper.

Herby chicken wings

Rhubarb and apple Eve's pudding

Jacket potatoes, salad and burgers in buns (veggie ones for me) DD 5 is eating macaroni pasta with cheese...

Homemade cherry tomato and basil pasta bake, its amazing. I might even have a bit of garlic bread as well.
