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

The Sweeper

A very simple rabbit stew with home-made bread. Tres rustic.

Minder

A pork goulash inspired by a Jamie Oliver offering some weeks back. Made it the previous night and the aroma as it warmed up was fantastic.

Mr Magnolia

Lamb Cutlets with Vegetable Ratatouille and Potato Croquettes.

neuro-praxis

Home-made pizza lashed with tomato sauce, fresh basil and ground black pepper, sliced onions, peppers, mushrooms and ham and topped with a little mozzarella. And a big salad.

The Hill Billy

T-bone steak, mashed spud, mashed carrot & turnip with gravy (thanks again to Mrs Billy!).

dudara

A moussaka with beef mince (no lamb unfortunately). Made all the sauces myself and twas lovely. There are 2 portions in the freezer now for later.

While I was making the moussaka, I roasted some figs in the oven and drizzled them with honey and had them with cheese for starters.

Billy, I'm making your burgers this evening.

Going to get the ingredients now.

Wish me luck!

bonkey

Red pepper, chilli & lime soup to start
Roast beef, roast potatoes, roast onion, boiled carrot, boiled cauliflower as the main course.

Twas good, twas.

Bit of an idiot n00b question folks.

Does ginger need to be 'peeled' before use, or do I just go for it with the grater?

Mr Magnolia

I peel mine anyway, it's recommended that you do.

Edit/ How quick am I!

Thanks Mr. M

Very quick indeed.

dudara

TBH, when grating I don't peel it. The skin doesn't go through the grater and you're left with a lump of it.

Absolutely delish

I could have done with the onion a bit smaller though, but I really enjoyed them.

They smell lovely when cooking, and taste great.

I made the ones with the ginger by the way.

Couldn't find scallions tough, so I just went with mashed spuds, fried tomatos and gravy.

I froze three of them for later.

Thanks very much.

You are more than welcome.
On the onion front - I'm a bit of a fiend for them (much to Mrs Billy chagrin).

Happy days - another satisfied customer!

The Sweeper

As a complete aside, I utterly adore raw onion, especially with steak or perhaps some finely chopped spring onion on a bowl of chili, but my god when I eat them I'm tasting them for 48 hours afterwards. I think I'm getting old.

Occasionally, if I'm just cooking for myself I'll fry a nice lump of steak, make a thin gravy from the juices & have it with a thickly sliced raw onion (or two) & a couple of slices of Pat the Baker's finest white bread. Sheer heaven!

Stargal

onions. Made my little sister run out and buy a big bag of them last night when I realised we were out of them.

Back O/T: Egg-fried rice.

Minder

Chicken biriyani, daal, raita with mint and cucumber

Dominoes...... It was my 30th so we didn't bother cooking!

Mr Magnolia

Happy Birthday!



Stuffed loin of pork.

Happy belated Birthday eo980

Sunday/Monday night, Bacon, (steamed) cabbage, mashed and roast potatoes. I felt like some good traditional home cooking at the weekend. Fantastic.

Kintarō Hattori

Awww thank you, thank you!

im...LOST

A bowl of Coco pops......:o

Well, I had football so I didn't want to eat anything before I went and I was too tired to cook.....

Chicken Fajitas tonight though....

sudzs

Falafel and hummous!

Thai Red Chicken Curry, with extra Chili.

With Rice noodles and some Naan for the mopping up.

I cooked it slowly, about an hour and a half in the wok, and it was delish.:)

The Hill Billy

Friday - Beef Goulash-type stewy-thing
Saturday - Chicken Jalfrezi-type curry
Sunday - Grilled lamb chops, roasted spicy potato wedges & beans
Monday - Went to the chipper

Made monster pot of minestrone last night for lunch today. Mrs Billy will be doing boiled & baked ham with spuds & curly kale for dinner this evening. Leftover ham will be broken up & put in with the leftover minestrone for dinner Wednesday - just the thing to warm yourself up after bringing the kids around collecting on Hallowe'en.

Fish Pie. Disappointing - the cod had little flavour.
