The 'Here's what I had for dinner last night' thread - Part I

Hermione*

I had pea and feta frittata with roast cumin-ish carrots. I grated Jarlsberg onto the top of the frittata before I put it under the grill. Gave it a lovely golden colour. Absolutely yum. A new recipe which I'll definitely be repeating!

Dinner tonight was chips.

Mr Simpson

Tonight I had Lamb Roganjosh from Bombay Pantry, was pretty average tbh especially for the price. Must try Curry Addict's recipes soon.

Chicken with stir fried noodles and sriracha chilli sauce . I marinated the boneless chicken thighs in dried chilli, tamarind paste, lime juice, sugar and fish sauce for an hour, then grilled until golden. Stir-fried broccoli, sugar snap peas and spring onions with some beanshoots. Tossed in the sliced chicken and some egg noodles and add a few squeezes of the chilli sauce with crushed peanuts.

My very late afternoon snack. All veg from the garden.


My dinner Courgette and mushroom baps with rocket and merguez sausage.



I also made this courgette and mushroom bread, but it needs a lot of tweeking. Recipe from BBC Good Food website.

Nasi goreng made with a jar of paste. It had a load of added flavours - chilli, garlic, spring onion etc and while it was tasty it seemed to lack something. I'd had plenty to eat but kept wanting more food as if to satisfy a need for more flavour rather than and hunger pang.

The Sweeper

Last night's dinner was toast and liverwurst. The night before was flash fried prawns in chili and garlic, tossed through spaghetti.

Toast4532

Spaghetti Bolognese for dinner tonight.

I did a chickpea, chicken and chriozo stew. Nice but it got a bit overcook so the chicken was slightly dry. Served with some mash potao.

Not sure what to cook tonight.
I have 1lb of lean minced beef in the fridge and all the usual cupboard essentials (tinned tomatoes, dried herbs, mustard, eggs, balsamic vinegar, spuds, etc)
I usually make meatballs and spaghetti but would like to try something new.
Any ideas?

Meat loaf? Or minced beef Wellington? Or you can't go wrong with a big ass cottage pie

The tastiest dinner I've had in a while, warming the cockles of me heart.
Tagine with some (again) merguez sausages. Yum.

Toast4532

Striploin steak, home made chips and spinach.

Haagan Dazs chocolate pots.

Dinner was supposed to be a treat - a collection of pierce and ping meals to make a curry night and leave me free from cooking. Sadly it was mediocre at best because no matter where you get pierce and ping meals from, they are still largely awful.

LaChatteGitane

My weekend treat : carbs !
2 corn tortillas with lettuce, chicken, onions, peppers, cucumber, homemade salsa cruda and just a tiny spoon of sour cream.

Tomorrow's lunch, Beef and Smithwick's Stew.

Very temped to eat it now but I've already had pasta and it'll make a nice surprise when girlfriend comes back up to Dublin tomorrow morning.

GrahamThomas

hardCopy, that stew looks delicious!
Any chance you could post up the recipe for us? I'd love to try and make it during the week.

I didn't have any bay leaves so added some fresh Rosemary, I also swapped one of the onions for a parsnip.

I made it before with a turnip thrown in which was lovely, but last time I cooked it in the oven and it kept drying out, this time I simmered on the hob and was able to keep it moist.

Apparently it's due to hit 23 degrees tomorrow so it may not be entirely appropriate

GrahamThomas

Cheers, thanks for that! I'll give it a try later on in the week, and post photos etc. afterwards.

The Sweeper

sliced a chicken breast into four thin pieces (across, not down). Seasoned and pan fried, served with mashed potato and sweetcorn. Simple but very satisfying.

hairyprincess

Last night was chick pea curry with basmati rice.

Night before was sprat, fresh from the sea, mash and peas

You should try throwing in a Celery Root if you can get one, gives a lovely flavour to the stew. Just take it out at the end before serving.

As in Celeriac? why take it out? It's a beautiful root veg.

The Hill Billy

Thursday I had some pals over for a beef vindaloo (my own b@stardised recipe). Loo rolls in the freezer for Friday morning!

Friday was was pizza night (shop-bought, but hand-made proscuitto y funghi).

Last night was grilled chicked fillet with baby spuds & a salad of cucumber, scallion & tomato dressed in red wine vinegar & white pepper.

Tonight might a 'dirty great kebab night'.

Dizzyblonde

Last night we had guests for dinner so I cooked a leg of lamb with garlic & rosemary, roast crushed baby potatoes, ratatouille and carrot/pea/corn mixed veg. We had an Avoca blackberry and apple crumble (brought by the guests) for dessert.

Tonight we're having ribeye steaks with chips, fried onions and mushrooms.
