Pre-Christmas holiday cookathon - need meat (not mince) dishes that freeze well

[Anna8888]

Who has fantastic freezable casserole type recipes? No pork - chicken, game, beef, veal. Something to heat up in the oven and serve with rice and a green salad.

hungarian goulash is very nice with rice ,you can make it with beef or pork

Oh dear i just glanced at this thread title & thought it said "cockathon" oh the shame

Well if you give me a great recipe I shall forgive you

Recipe for a cockathon?

What about a chilli, but made with stewing/braising steak instead of mince?

Delia also has a good recipe for that which I have somewhere if you're interested?

Sorry i am a rubbish cook, if only i was good at it..

Hmm, not keen on chilli (not very French, for my fussy French family...).

Something different with chicken would be good... ie not mushrooms/bacon/cream/almonds/wine... but what?

Anna - surely the french invented meat and fruit? Ie pork/rabbit and prunes, mackeral and gooseberries, Duck and orange, errr lots of others?

Do they like curries of any description? Or Thai? Delia has a great recipe for chicken with lime/coconut/coriander, not sure how it freezes having never tried, but it's pretty quick to make from scratch if you're pushed for time.

Anna - see above - I wrote you a chicken recipe!

SantaBe - thank you . Not entirely sure that olives will be OK with stepsons - must check . Fortunately the cookathon won't be for a week or so so I have lots of time to plan out the recipes and check with all concerned that ingredients pass muster...

Belgianchox - yes, curries and Thai are fine if very mild. I do Thai green curry quite often (a non freezable recipe but very quick, from a Blue Elephant packet).

duck and orange is British, the French are thieves as well as cheese eating surrender monkies.

Some nice ideas here. I have nearly emptied my freezers (I have a huge american style fridge/freezer in the kitchen, the old fridge/freezer, from before the kitchen was done, down in the garage, and a small chest freezer in the garage), so plenty of space to do these recipes.

Must remember this thread - like the sound of the beef and horseradish one - DH would love it.

I've just got back from the shops, sniffing around to see what's around .

Anyway, just sitting down for a second before making supper - bought teeny-weeny lamb chops and am going to cook them with pancetta, garlic, rosemary, white wine and a bit of tomato. With some roasted ratte potatoes.

Bonne soirée et merci

Sounds yum. I miss lamb chops. Not easy to get them here in Budapest.
