Please, please - hob meal ideas (ovens on the blink!!)

[ziopin]

Help, my oven's stopped working. I cook everything in it!!!

Spag bol is a winner, but what else??

pasta dishes with fresh veg

stir fries

risotto

chilli

flash-fried fish (salmon, cod, halibut) with veg

there's loads. I use my oven maybe twice a week

buy a slow cooker

I'm like Capuccino, I use my hob all the time and my oven only at weekends

curries
stews
pasta and everything!
tortillas and fillings
pancakes

gosh, there's hardly anythign you CAN'T cook on a hob - you can even do joints and so on as pot roasts. Baked potatoes would be tricky I admit, you'd just have to cut them into wedges and shallow fry them or do mash!

stew I do mine on the hob and it's yummy.
curies.

do you have a steamer or anything?

boiled bacon/gammon - yummy with new pots.

Brilliant, thanks very much. Yes I do have a steamer, haven't used it in years though. I must dust in down!!!

both the good food magazine site and the bbc.co.uk/food sites are great places to search for new recipes

however my computer is so slow today I'm not up to searching for links, sorry

chilli and rice/new potatos

veg curry

pasta and dry fried vegtables with cooked meat from supermarket

or like us when we moved in with no electric point for cooker.....pizza hut, frankie and bennies take out, burger king and any local takeaway

This is easy and quick. fry onion and 2 cloves of garlic when soft ad 200g[ish] of bacon chopped or pre-bought in cubes. Add 2 tins of tomatoes [chopped} tablespoon of fresh parsley or good shake of dry, pepper, (chilli or paprika if you like it.) Bring to boil and let it bubble for a bit. mix into spaghetti, grate some cheese on top. Plain but tastey.

This one pot lentil chicken is a favourite in the norris house and fairly easy too. Minestrone pasta pot is another .

Stir fries, paella or risotto, kedgeree, strips of pork with chillies and cream or chicken with marsala and cream.

smoked haddock.

sweat 2 onions in butter. add pinch saffron and season with pepper and sprinkle with parsley.

Add 1cup milk, reduce half and pop smoked haddock, reduce heat and cover. Cooked in 4 mn!

serve haddock with rice and spoon over onion gravy.
