Tonight I cooked fresh fish for the first time in my life! Bought sea bass fillets, dusted them in seasoned flour and pan-fried. Served with a lovely fresh tomato salsa and roasted herby baby potatoes. The fish might look a little over-cooked, but it didn't taste it at all

Today I wandered into my local butchers to pick up a few chicken breasts (trying to be healthy, for shame) and my eyes were dragged towards some of the most glorious striploin I have ever seen in a butcher shop.
Behold, McSully's 28 day dry aged striploin.
I cooked it med-rare on a griddle pan (was aiming for rare but got distracted for a few seconds by the stupid dogs!!!) and served it with a quick cracked pepper pan sauce and roast sagey baby potatos and some green beans I tossed in a raspberry vinaigrette.
Not the prettiest plate of food I've ever made, but it was yummy.
Ate a big chunk of it sans sauce and was only putting the sauce on when I remembered to take a photo of the finished steak.
Rest assured those griddle marks were ever more impressive nude :P.0 -

Grilled pork chop with Salsa Rossa and mash - should have used the grill pan and not the actual grill for visual purposes. Baby leaf and cherry tomato salad not pictured!
Presentation leaves a lot to be desired but even the kids loved it
Oddly enough, my very first time ever eating a pork chop

Pork chops these days are pretty tame. A few years ago they used to come with the rind still on and great big layers of fat that was delicious. Bloody health brigade.....

Got home made wedges in the oven, seasoned chicken breasts waiting to go on the grill pan, then am cheating with some packet stir fry veg 0 -
http://www.bordbia.ie/aboutfood/recipes/chicken/pages/grilledchickenwithpotatowedgesandstirfryvegetables.aspx
That's what I made for tonights dinner, herselfs youngest was sick so forgot to take photos
I wasn't sure about the wedges, imagined them turning out hard on the inside but in fairness they were lovely! Next time I'll use more paprika and sea salt, I think I went a bit easy on both.
The lemon flavour stayed with the chicken wonderfully through cooking, gave them a good seasoning with salt and black pepper and used the grill pan tonight which worked a treat.
Everyone praised it, so I'm not only happy but full to the gills as well 0 -

Not Dinner but today for lunch I was extremely lazy.
I had a breast of chicken I bought 2 days ago sitting in a butchers bag and wanted to use it up today, don't know if I'll be here for dinner and didn't want to waste it so I decided I'd do a wee fridge/cupboard raid and see what I could wrangle up without putting effort in and still have a nice meal.
Found some garlic, few finger chillis, a red pepper, an onion and some mushrooms, the vegetation have been sourced.
Next I need to make a sauce.
I didn't want to open any jars, I didn't want to defrost anything and I didn't want to actually make any effort.
My first thought was "soy, honey, saft pepper, boom" but I dismissed that idea, too easy, too boring, too something I had last week...
I found a tub of natural peanut butter, the stuff thats like jsut peanuts and peanut oil, you get it in healthyfood stores etc, good stuff.
I though to myself "peanut butter, soy, fish sauce, little water, boom" and was going to go down that route and make a sort of cheaters peanut saute sauce for my little meal, the idea appealed to me me greatly, but for whatever reason, I didn't.
I noticed a bottle of Levi Root's Regge-Regge jerk/BBQ sauce, I often enjoy it on some chicken thighs on the charcoal grill, it's good stuff.
In my head I thought, scothcbonnet based sauce, peanuts, what could go wrong?
It was born.
I sweated the onion, chilli, garlic, mushrooms and red pepper in a sauce pan until soft and a little coloured, I added mu chicken and cooked until I had a little colour. In a bowl I put a heaped desert spoon of peanut butter and about 1.5 times as much regge-regge sauce and mixed it with a fork, it looked weird because it didn't emulsify but I knew it would when I heated it. I added a little water to slacked it out a little too, otherwise between the stickiness of the sauce and the dryness of the PB I knew it would be very very thick.
The end result was, to even my surprise, pretty bloody nice.
Would I eat it every day? No.
Will I make it again? Yes, yes I will.
It looks a bit brown due to ingredients used and bad phone camera but rest assured it had a little more colour than the picture implies.
put it on some basmatti and job's a goodun.
Total time = 10 mins, was able to cook it all in the time it took to cook the rice, so all in all, a simple, quick, pretty decent meal using up chicken, mushrooms and a pepper which wouldn't have lasted another day anyway!

Enchiladas with home made tortillas & chili gravy, stuffed with minced beef, coriander, cheese & cherry tomatoes. Was lovely although a couple of boo-boos with wrong masa purchased & slack measurement of chili into chili gravy (was still lovely but burn-y, even for my chili loving palate). Also saw the amount of salt on the recipe for the masa dough & chili gravy & thought 'hmmm...' but didn't listen to instinct & was very salty. Be better next time!

Home made ravioli. Made from 00 flour, cream cheese, garlic, thyme, basil, parsley and chives. Coated in semolina and served with melted butter.
They were very delicious but I'm not sure they are worth the considerable effort you have to put in!0 -
Had smoked mackerel (fondly referred to as s'mack) yesterday evening which was extra special because I line caught the fish myself which was then lovingly smoked using oak wood chips by my better half. It was absolutely delish. For the dressing I simply mixed creme freche with horseradish, lemon juice and black pepper....nyum!
