We had toasted Ham, cheese, tomato, onion sandwiches with mayo, salt and ground black pepper. Cooked them on the George Foreman grill and they came out quick and nice. Big pot of tea and an almond slice for afters.

It was nice but bland.

Chicekn kiev on the bone with cous cous and baby sweetcorn for tonight

Last night I had some marinated pork tenderloin left over from the night before in a pitta with some bulgar wheat and peas with chilli flakes.

Made this tonight, tray baked chicken with squashed spuds. It was possibly one of the nicest things i have ever made myself, and thats not saying alot really.

Boiled the potatoes, then fried on a bed of basil and cloves of garlic, while i squished it into the pan.

Its a Jamies 30 minute meal, took me about an hour and a half.

Beef Wellington with roasted sweet potato, braised cabbage and mash. Forgot to take the picture after I'd drowned it in red wine gravy

Pan fried fillet of black bream with a warm barley salad with pistachios, pumpkin seeds, hazelnuts, grated baby sweetcorn and fresh herbs. Dressed with a lemon sauce made from the zest of three lemons and a good dollop of honey to sweeten the sauce. Loving this sauce at the moment - blanche lemon zest again and again to mellow the flavour - then blitz with olive oil and water.

A tin of soup and bread, something oriental. Couldn't be arsed to do anything else.

Toto Wolfcastle

A variation of this with some very very spicy rice. The chicken was really tasty.

Captain Darling

Beef fajitas. Bleedin stuffed. I ate three of them. I'd stuff left over from the last two nights that was going to go off, it was either going in me or the bin.

Getting the meat sweats here.

Last night - three-bean enchiladas

Tonight was supposed to be chorizo & asparagus risotto, but I've no arborio, so I'm thinking a chorizo stew, served with orzo and griddled asparagus instead.

I cook mince with turmeric, cumin, curry powder, onions, diced mushrooms, garam masala, chilli powder and water, then top with some coriander and yoghurt in the pitta, YUM!

Ooh! The mince was cooked with onions, cayenne powder, water and curry powder. I think you can see one of the pesky onion slices trying to escape on the pitta :pac: but Garam masala, I must try this! I left turmeric out of the mince as I wasn't sure how well it would work, it's a tad bitter but I will add some in next time!

Stir-Fried Chicken Salad (Wagamama), stir fried veg with oyster sauce and sesame noodles!

I'd love to get the recipe for this from you thanks

Me three.

Mexican recipe thread? Yes, I think so... :cool:

I made a Mysterious Chicken Thing yesterday in the slow cooker, and it actually turned out quite well.
I bunged chicken legs in with a can of tomatoes, a spoon of chilli-in-a-jar, some garlic and ginger and left it there for 5 hours.
Then I took the chicken off the bone, added some bbq sauce (no, I don't know why either) and some peppers and cooked for another hour.

Ate it with noodles and it was lovely!

The Hill Billy

I baked a banana & walnut loaf on Saturday from a recipe my sis gave me. It was delish. Really pleased as I don't bake at all.

I also made a korma from scratch for Mrs Billy & the kids. It is their favourite indian take away & I thought I'd give it a go. For a first time effort I thought it turned out really good. Mrs Billy certainly liked it. I think that it may not have been 'sweet' enough for the kids.

Not being a fan of korma (only based on the taste of take away meals) I grilled a pile of lamb chops & had them with thick slices of raw onion & bread for mopping up the juices. But after tasting my 'real' korma I was kind of sorry I had gone for my meat feast.
