Ah...I see. I thought that it was the cooked version in the first photo. It looks amazing!

Pea, Ham & Potato soup!
1 litre of chicken/veg stock, 2 potatoes, 2 cups of peas
bring to boil & turn down heat, cook 10mins
put in blender, add cream, salt and pepper and ham
return to boil and serve - easy and yummy

lalee17

Tofu sausages+fried eggs. mmmmmmmm

Last night was "fackelspiess" (like kebab meat wrapped around a skewer), "kummiwurst" (cumin-flavoured cervelas-style Swiss sausage) and grill-cheese off the grill, accompanied by tabouleh.

dlambirl

Lamp chops, potatoes, peas and carrots

Minder

A very quick dinner of linguine with tuna, garlic and parsley dressed with an emulsion of lemon juice and olive oil.

Chicken maryland, mash, diced turnip and carrot, and gravy

NewFrockTuesday

Chicken strips (at least they tasted like chicken) recovered after a trek to the back of the freezer. Peas and leftover colcannon. Nothing exciting.

wow chicken maryland did you do the pineapple and banana fritters:eek:

Miss No Name

Aubergine, broccoli and portobello (all Lidls finest) mushrooms in tomato sauce (red wine, chilli, garlic, onion) and pasta. Made it two nights ago, had it for dinner, lunch yesterday and might chance it for lunch today. The mushrooms are fab in it - really juicy and meaty. Had no mozzarella cheese left but a ball of that melted into it would have been divine. *drools*

No, I'm not living with one foot in the 80's .
Maybe I should have said 'part-boned chicken breast in breadcrumbs'

The Sweeper

had people over for drinks and nibbles. raided the cheese and charcuterie counters of the supermarket and then matched it pound for pound with alcohol.

Last night, I cooked a hybrid of two of Mrs. Bonkey's recipes. It was her idea, but seeing as she was busy with Bonkey Jnr. I had kitchen duty.

Fried off some lamb mince, with some crushed garlic, cumin, coriander and cayenne. Added toasted pine-nuts and a diced tomato, then a sprinkle of flour and a splash of white wine.

Fried off some onion, courgette, carrot and chickpeas with some diced garlic, cumin, harissa, and tomato paste, then added some water to make a thin sauce.

Took two (green) peppers and stuffed them with the lamb mix, then put them in an oven-proof dish, and poured the veggies around them. Into the oven at 180. Half an hour later, I added a handful of crumbled feta on top of each pepper, then left them in the oven for another 30 mins.

Served the lot with some (plain) couscous.

Rather pleased, we were.

I thought that, but when I googled Bern...it came up "Berne" and Biel showed up Jessica of course! Also, I lived in Germany where they thought eating lamb was just weird and it would have been impossible to find "alegalamb" I was surprised to see it on your bbq


Haha! Youre being mischevious with your location now!

Woohoo! Just noticed I got the 2000th post!:P

Bern is the German spelling. I work there, and live(d) in Biel.

Biel is great. Its right on the "border" between the Swiss-German and Swiss-French parts of the country, with a large Italian community and a growing Asian one. As a result, you get all sorts of stuff in the shops.

I was surprised to see it on your bbq

That was someone else's bbq, maybe? I haven't done that in months, I think....

Haha! Youre being mischevious with your location now!

Actually...I moved house about a month ago, and completely forgot to update my profile. Lyss, incidentally, is halfway between Biel and Bern

Im still half asleep! It was Sparks that had the leg of lamb. It kicked off a craving for a roast so Ive had it in my head since. Sorry! Youre free to go, t'was a case of mistaken identity!

Steak N kidney Pie.



............haven't made it for months, bit of an effort........but you can't beat a bit of slow cooking really.

Fajitas!

They look great.

bonkey

Burgers and chips.

Homemade, of course

ixoy

Apple and sausage bake - Cooking apples, sausage meat, some curry powder, layered with mashed potato and with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese and thrown into the oven to bake for an hour. Very nice.

watna

Tonight I made a roast chicken with cranberry and apple stuffing, potato dauphinoise and roast vegetables. It was only the two of us and it felt a bit excessive making a large chicken but it does mean I don't have to cook for the next two nights so I think it was worth it. I just made extra portions of the potatoes and veg so we had enough to go with the whole chicken. It'll be great not having to cook on a Monday night!
