You just can’t beet home made burger

Dunes store does some nice big buns when they are in stock

The Sweeper

Home made beef burgers here too! Must be something in the water?

Or rather something in the beer - we had nine people around to watch the aussie rules football grand final - we've been at it since midday, it's now 11.30pm and we haven't missed a beat - just moved onto the Australia v. Canada rugby...

Tonight it's roast chicken with roasted chipped potatoes and green beans and sugar snap peas in garlic and butter.

Green & Black's ice-cream for dessert!

Talliesin

... and a pleasantly drinkable vinho verde.

Last night I had whipped potatoes with superquinn sausages and loads of Ballymaloe relish.. mmm. I'l really miss the sausages and relish when I leave ireland. Gotta get as many in as possible while I can!

Faith

A warmed pitta bread stuffed with mayo, baby-leaf spinach, stir fried chicken, peppers, onions and garlic, with homemade potato wedges.

For lunch I had a baked potato with Kerrygold, sweetcorn, spinach, tomatoes and mayo.

For breakfast I had a homemade blueberry muffin with a glass of Innocent Superfoods Pomegranate, Blueberry and Acai berry smoothie (it was FOUL but so good for me...)

I know this thread is only supposed to be dinner, but I had a tasty day...

Coconut Milk
Patak's Curry Paste: Korma
Teaspoon of Sugar

Chicken gyoza and teryaki steak soba, mmm.

Mr Magnolia

A big feck-off lump of fillet steak.

The Sweeper

Beef rendang with asian greens and steamed rice.

The other half got me a pizza in Tesco.
I asked for "a surprise".

Some "gourmet" pizza company thought it would be a wheeze to make a Bacon and Cabbage pizza for the Irish Market.

I think I'll pass on it the next time.

Kintarō Hattori

Flour, margarine and water = pastry

Finely chopped onion
Cut Rasher's
Grated cheese
Two eggs mixed with milk and pepper and poured over the above
Thinly sliced Finest Tesco White Pudding placed on top

A very very easy receipe to make and pretty quick too.

Minder

Pumpkin risotto with roast garlic and crispy fried sage leaves.

The Sweeper

Fish finger sandwich. There was a lot going on.

r3nu4l

Chinese take-away...although fish finger sandwich sounds tasty, haven't had one in years, I hope there was ketchup on it

Good to see MAJD has 4-white stars Is that a shady pines perk?

Stargal

Chicken stir-fry with cashew nuts, garlic, mangetout, mushrooms, carrots and peppers with coconut noodles*. Mmmm.....

*Sounds a bit strange but basically threw the noodles into a saucepan with 1 litre of chicken stock and a tin of coconut milk. It gives the noodles a gorgeous flavour.

Mr Magnolia

Wild Mushroom Risotto.

Nick is in bold too. Be afraid. Be very afraid 0_o

Made a pizza from scratch, then realised I only had enough tomatoes to make sauce to cover half of it so had to wait for the missus to bring me home some more. While I was waiting I left the pizza on a board (which it stuck to) and could not get it off so had to fold it and make a calzone (folded pizza) which ended up being delicious. It was completely accidental and ended up being lovely.
Had peppers, salami, chorizo, onion and mushrooms.
Will be making it again.......

I confess, after a Sunday afternoon in the pub, dinner was Superquinn sausage sandwiches with loads of ketchup and a big mug of tea!

The Hill Billy

Saturday - Homemade burgers with mashed spuds & fried tomatoes & scallions in gravy.
Sunday - An ethnic mish-mash of "Thai green curry"-kind-of chicken soup, the remnants of which were mopped up with a couple of naan breads.

I was against the clock to get the kiddies fed on Saturday, so used the basic recipe:
1½ lbs mince
1 medium onion finely chopped
1 medium egg
Salt & pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 tbsp thyme, finely chopped

Mix all of the above well.
Shape into patties (made 5 good sized ones).
Fried for 3 mins on a blisteringly hot pan.
Into a medium oven for 10 mins to finish.

Here's a fancier one that is cracking (especially the hit of ginger):
1½ lbs mince
1 medium onion finely chopped
2cm ginger, grated or finely chopped
1 tsp soy sauce
1 medium egg
Salt & pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic finely chopped

Prepare & cook as above. Enjoy!

You are more than welcome. If you use either I'd like to hear what you think - especially the gingery ones.

Just a question on the ginger, how long would a piece of ginger last in the fridge, do you know?

I actually think I'll make them on Wednesday.

Might have them with mashed spuds, scallions, tomatos and gravy too

No idea. I keep my ginger in my veggie basket under the stairs (cool & dark in there). I've kept big lumps of ginger in there for over a month.

That's the spirit!

Last night, Mrs Billy had some lovely grilled gigot lamb chops, mash, broccoli & gravy waiting for me. There's nowt like chewing those little bits of lamb off the bone!

Kurumba

Prawns with a creamy, tomato & basil sauce with taglatellie & garlic bread. So quick and simple and delish!!

Second that. I have to be careful not to chew on my fingers on such occasions.

Chicken stew with pearl barley, carrots and celery.
