What are you having for tea?

[Englishrose223]

In dire need of some inspiration!!!

Is dal the same as dahl ? Lentils with Indian spices?

I made bolognese for the kids with a cornetto for afters. They both had their school plays today and did really well so I made them their favourite.
DH had a pot noodle and went to bed at 5ish because he wasn't feeling well.
I haven't eaten yet and now that everyone is in bed I'm tempted to order a take away 😋

Hello fresh is good if you're feeling in a rut

Update: sadly no lovely risotto for us in the end! Both DD and I were home late, too tired and hungry to cook so resorted to an emergency Chinese takeaway.. 🙈

Shall persevere tomorrow night!

I have to know.. are you a pineapple ring on gammon family or not??

Marinades jerk chicken , green beans and mash

One of my easy go to recipes-spaghetti carbonara. The traditional recipe is really simple. Cook the spaghetti. Meantime grate 50 gm of cheese (pecorino by pref). Mix with 5 egg yokes and a little water from the pasta. Cook the diced pancetta (no oil quickly then mix together (pasta, egg yolk, pancetta and cheese). Result is lovely.

Shakshuka. Sort of.

Diced a butternut squash and chucked in the oven to roast in butter and chili.
Sweated leeks and red onion for a while.

Added chickpeas (tinned), tinned toms, cumin, paprika etc and cook for a bit.
Put roasted squash in and I added some freezer veg too - peas and corn.
Bit of stock to loosen it.
Make dents in the simmering mixture and crack an egg into each dent.
Lid on. Cook for less than 10 mins depending on egg preference.

Serve with exciting bread.

@greengreyblue yeah acceptable spelling of Dal/Dahl
Same thing

Really good, I cooked mine for 25 mins at 220 and that seemed perfect, nice and caramelised on top, cooked through, but not mushy. They were delicious, I'm definitely making them again.

I have some prawns in the fridge marinading in garlic, lime juice and coriander. I think I may have been a bit over enthusiastic on the garlic though as every time I open then fridge door I'm nearly knocked out by the smell. I just want them with a really good salad with a Mexican sweet corn salsa but will cook linguine with cherry tomatoes for those who only eat salad as a token gesture to shut me up!

Earl grey with oat milk 🙃

@AtleastitsnotMonday thank you :)

My enchiladas last night were great but I burnt the roof of my mouth in my greed to devour them moments after they’d been taken from the oven 😡

DH is working a slightly later shift today so we’ll be getting Deliveroo when he gets in. Hopefully Wing Stop 🤞 🌶️

Homemade vegan lasagne for us tonight!

Unusual combination of battered cod, courgettes cooked in garlic butter and a few hash browns. Using up what we've got.

Egg and chips -food of the gods!!

I made up something similar to this but much less faffy:

150g rice into a baking dish/casserole
Mix in a teaspoon (ish) each of cumin, paprika, chipotle chilli (paste or flakes) and garlic puree
Chuck in a carton of passata and a tin of black beans/kidney beans/pinto beans/ whatever including the liquid
Add chopped chicken or veg (peppers, mushrooms) if you want
Mix, season then bake for 25 mins. Top with lots of grated cheese and bake for a further 10 mins

Spinach filled fresh ravioli, roast Mediterranean veg with garlic oil, caramelised onion and butternut squash sauce. (sauce from a jar).

Pate
Tuna steak
Fruit salad and sorbet

So I'm told. By Chef 😊

DH is working tonight so I'm about to go for a Spoons dinner before doing some grocery shopping on my way home. DC are fending for themselves (they're 20 and 16 before I'm accused of neglect 🙈).

Chicken massaman curry and rice. Homemade

@DoYouSmokePaul greedyburns! Is what my friend calls that :)
