What are you having for dinner?

[Riviera16]

Trying out a new recipe here tonight: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/mango-chicken-bean-rice-bake

What are you all having dinner?

Just completely messed up the dinner! All right the pea purée was ok but a bit too minty, the nectarine and mint salsa was very good and the roasted veg was ok. But I completely bollocksed up the slow cooked lamb shoulder. It was too small really and I over cooked it, it was very dry and I should have done it on the instant pot. I wanted a crispy outside and melty inner but it was too small to work. Also the roast potatoes were over cooked! I love cooking and know exactly what I did wrong. You live and learn. I just needed to get it off my chest!

We had roast chicken dinner. Not the most original but everyone loved it.

How did your new recipe turn out?

My 14 year old son has just brought home a tub of Bolognese sauce he made a school so we will be having that tonight.

We really enjoyed the other night lamb koftas with greek salad and wraps:

Lamb koftas (bought from the shop but easy to make your own), just put them under the grill and done in 10minutes
Greek salad (cucumber, tomato, red onion, olives, feta, dill, olive oil, black pepper)
Minty yoghurt sauce (mix together yoghurt and a couple of spoonfuls of mint sauce)
Hummus
Flat breads or wraps
takes less than 10minutes as you can prep the salad whilst the kofta cook. Really tasty and fresh, feels like a fun meal, but also super easy.

Oh and we did fries on the side!

ALmost the same @Olivetreebutter We are doing Lamb kebabs and my famous ( well just with people I know) sweet potato, rocket and fetta salad.
