"50 best midweek meals in minutes"

[PVish]

free in this months GH is rather good

lots of real recipes and onley ONE with fennel in

Thanks will get it.

Nothing can beat my 2 minute wonder.

I packet microwave rice. I tin sweet corn. 1 large handful frozen peas. Some cooked chicken or ham or some other proteiny leftovers.

Do rice. Boil peas, chuck in sweetcorn to heat.

Put all in bowl.

Serve.

seeker ..put a cream sauce on and you have chicken a la king

Ah, but if I did that I'd have to use a packet sauce to do it in the time. My one is completely home made!

Oh why can't I do italics??

seeker
that sounds like vomit

Can you give me an example - I'm stuck for this evening. And I have fennel.

Lovely to see you, PVish. Come over here to play, have you? Don't forget to be back before it gets dark!

ok fennel wise ( shudder) its
roasted cod
other egs are
speedy seafood curry
halloumi wiht bean stew
prk terryaki stir fry
kale and anchovy pasta( yum)
mushroom stronganoff wiht fettucini
salmon wiht black bean sauce

have got a copy and my main niggle is that a lot of the recipes are more snack-like than main meals - eg one is soup. Some good ideas though and lots of fish which I always mean to cook more often.

Ooh that looks good. Would be good to have 5 minute meals which aren't pasta or stir fry based.

My 5 minute special is:

Stir fry red onion and chopped turkey breast for couple mins. Add 2 tablespoon Sainsbo Nasi Goreng paste and chopped chili (or teaspoon chili paste) and fry. 2 packets of super noodles (but not with the flavour sachet) on top, add 500ml chicken stock (knorr stock pot). Quarter a lime and add. Put lid on a cook on med for 4 mins. Yummy.

This is my failsafe dish I cook when I get in from work and am so tired I want to yell swear words. Either that or the indian takeaway.

I have never ever bought Good Housekeeping. Is a milestone?

Kale and anchovy pasta does sound nice. Have lots of Kale atm, seems to be in the vege box every week.

Will look out for it.

agree re veg box and kale - would be good to have new recipes to use it in

GetOrf I have never bought it either.

Presumably any adult with a bit of life experience who has cooked for a few years has a selection of meals they can make in minutes?

my meal in minutes:

toast two slices of bread per person

fry two eggs per person

heat up tin of baked beans

Serve. Possibly with grated cheese and ketchup.

GetOrf, I do shudder at the thought of buying it too. Think it will make me feel middle-aged.

Porridge. There's another meal in minutes.

Good Housekeeping is fab, the Xmas edition is something to behold
