Seriously stuck in a food rut at the moment and I’m so uninspired I’m rarely cooking a proper meal.

What’s on the menu in your home tonight?

We are having an oven baked chorizo and roasted red pepper “risotto”. A household favourite.

PinkiOcelot · 27/08/2020 15:53

I think I can just about force myself to put sausages and onion gravy in the oven to have with some mash and veg.

WorraLiberty · 27/08/2020 15:53

Egg, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, black pudding and hash browns.

mbosnz · 27/08/2020 15:54

ooh, we haven't had one of these in ages!

It's our two year anniversary of coming to the UK, so we're out tonight, at the lovely little Italian restaurant in our village.

Last night we made the Chicken Korma and Pilau rice from the Hairy Bikers Curry cookbook - that was divine.

Corned beef hash with shredded greens

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 27/08/2020 15:56

Gnocchi (filled with something I can't remember!) baked in tomato sauce and mozzarella. With garlic ciabatta for the boys in the house, I'll have salad with mine. Followed by apple sponge and custard.

thisstooshallpass · 27/08/2020 15:56

Linguine with prosciutto, garlic, tomato and French beans.

BitchTitties · 27/08/2020 15:56

Beef casserole & mash. Perfect food for a dreary day!

StormzyInaDCup · 27/08/2020 15:57

Chicken teriyaki with sticky rice here. We'll deserved after shopping in the rain.

StormzyInaDCup · 27/08/2020 15:57

*well

y0rkier0se · 27/08/2020 15:57

I was supposed to be making spaghetti bolognese but really fancy a chicken dinner so might switch!

UnfinishedSymphon · 27/08/2020 15:57

Simple one tonight, salt & pepper chicken thighs, garlic & herb little roasted potatoes, roast peppers and sweetcorn (loose)

wherestheotherone · 27/08/2020 15:58

Various forms of eggs on toast for us tonight. Boring, easy tea but not much in.

TheHappyHerbivore · 27/08/2020 15:59

Baked potato with spaghetti hoops and violife cheese. Not exactly a proper meal Grin last night I had pasta with pesto, sautéed broccoli, garden peas and homemade focaccia.

Hi Calic0 love the sound of chorizo and red pepper risotto! We were just discussing what we were going to have for tea. Could U post the recipe? Thanks

Egg, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, black pudding and hash browns.
Great minds think alike but add on tomatoes and toast since I've a handful of tiny hash browns.
bibbitybobbitycats · 27/08/2020 16:01

Have a few things lurking in the fridge that need using up, so roasted chicken thighs with green bean and potato pie (Anna del Conte recipe) and braised red cabbage.

Jellybeansincognito · 27/08/2020 16:01

🤤

Seriously though, where’d you get the energy from? 😅

Spaghetti carbonara. It's one of my easy/can't be arsed meals. And the bonus that the kids love it!

HumphreyGoodmanswife · 27/08/2020 16:03

Just got back from a camping holiday so making a sausage pasta bake - little effort required for a comforting, maximum taste dinner 😋
