Oh and fishpie - gotta have that on the list! I use the Delia receipe but add cherry tomatoes otherwise it's too rich.
If you've not had a proper oven for ages, don't forget to let the meat relax for 10 mins (cover with foil to keep warm) before servings, makes a massive difference.
The day after a chicken, I make stock and have this: add some carrots and some onions to the stock, a little finely chopped garlic, chopped ginger, little bit of red chilli chopped, 2 tins green lentils. Before serving add some soy sauce, rice vinegar to taste and put some coriander leaves on top.
Baked aubergines with tomatoes: cut aubergines into 1cm rounds and fry till golden brown, drain on kitchen paper; 2 or 3 cloves of garlic, chopped and gently fried, add 2 tins chopped tomatoes and reduce a bit. Largeish tub of creme fraiche, heat up till bubbling, take off heat and add: 2 chopped tbsps each of tarragon, thyme, parsley, 1 tbsp chives. (I had none of these so just put in some basil and it turned out fine )and add a handful of grated parmesan. Grease an oven dish: do a layer of aubergine, layer of toms, sprinkle of parmesan till you get to the end then pour the creme fraiche over the top and bake at 180 for about 20-25mins.
lastly a great easy pudding! Little apple tarts: puff pastry rolled v thin and cut into individual tart size. Slice apple segments as thin as poss and arrange over the top. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. bake.
Cripes I've gotta go to bed now!
