I make something very similar but I serve it with a fried egg on top.

Sounds awesome. Loads leftover so I'm gonna reheat and add a fried egg for tomorrow's supper, nice one!

Chilli spiced crab ravioli with chestnut flour pasta and pangritata made with chestnuts and breadcrumbs. Sauce out with fish stock, noilly prat and cream. Recipe from The Taste.

To add, recipe was b***ox. Combined 100g of flour with 4 egg yolks is only possibe using quails eggs. As a rule, 100g and one egg makes a good pasta dough. I made it with whole eggs to save on wastage and doubled the quantities of flour for the pasta.

Was that made by the tall ginger guy in the first ep?? Looked sensational. Super intrigued by the chestnut flour pasta. How did it turn out?

Homemade burgers with roasted sweet potato and baby potatoes and corn.

A real carnivorous weekend for us!

Fri night - BBQ fillet steaks with onions, par-boiled baby potatoes and asparagus all done in the BBQ too. Wine was St. Emillion

Sat night - the most amazing venison steaks with red wine jus - had that with garlic filled roast tomatoes and roast potatoes. Wine was Brouilly.

Sun night - beef shin Guinness stew. Finished off the 2nd bottle of Brouilly we opened Sat night

Also made a lamb lasagne last night that we're having tonight so we'll have to detox soon!

I bought and roasted a chicken last weekend. I had it roast the first night, in GrahamThomas' satay the second, twice during the week as chicken salad for work and tonight it has had its final incarnation as Chicken and Vegetable soup- there are at least six portions left so a weeks worth of work lunches too. 10 meals for €6.00 worth of chicken.

Was it one of these? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA5JOsD21F0

Made Brenda Costigan's Chicken and Potato curry yesterday - not so much a curry, as a curry-flavoured 1 pot stew - but it was tasty and comforting!

A very lacklustre watery Thai red chicken curry So disappointing!

Yep, ginger chap with a bit of stubble.

Turned out really well for flavour overall, but that was more to do with the crab, pangratata and the sauce. The chestnut flour didn't add much flavour, but there was quite a satisfying bite to the pasta that i didn't get with white flour alone in other pastas.

Would make it again.

I'm making chicken and chorizo paella/risotto creation.

I'm making thirteen tons of it to freeze/do lunches for the week. I'm sitting looking at it in the pan and thinking I'm gonna need a bigger pan :P

Edit - just burnt my tongue tasting it out of the pan. Guess thats what I get!

Gloomtastic!

Rich Beef Cobbler. Which is basically cottage pie with red wine as the liquid that's been reduced down. Topped with herb scones (recipe over in the chat thread).

I went out for a run* this evening and before I went out I threw a couple of chicken fillets into a bowl with a load of Franks. Came home and, once the pain in my lungs subsided, I sliced the chicken down the middle and cooked it on a hot griddle and served it with a salad of chickpeas, little gem lettuce, elderly tomatoes, scallions & pepper with french dressing. Enjoyed every mouthful but wish it was cheese or a chocolate biscuit

Roast quail, brown rice and green beans. Simple, easy and satisfying.

Second dinner of the day is on the way - Dominos!!

Dinner was 4 Clonakilty sausages, a couple of fried spuds, a fried egg and a cupán tae.

Merkin

Had a caprese salad (I have had the same basil plant thriving happily in the kitchen since last June!) and shared a manchego and chorizo pizza with Mr. Merkin. Simple and convenient fare for a Monday evening.

Mrs Fox

Last night I made Chicken Korma from the cooking club, served with Fragrant Basmati Rice, also form the cooking club. And you know what else I made from the cooking club? Apple tart.

We had the lasagne I made on Sunday. Best one ever....spent all day in the slow cooker and I used good lamb mince from the market with my own bechamel sauce. It was divine! Loads left over too & frozen for the nippers.

First time posting here but I have read and salivated over evey post in this thread and the old one:p



Homemade cabbage rolls, stuffed with a mix of cous cous, shredded courgette & carrot, red onion, garlic and oddly enough a bit of haggis I had left in the fridge:pac:
(carrot, cabbage and onion from the garden)
Covered with a sauce I knocked up with cornflour, duck fat, cheese, chilli, smoked paprika, tomato puree and coriander.

The Dublin Meat Co's weekly special offer was fillet steak apparently, himself picked up 3 for €12, so that was dinner decided for today :-)



(If you believe it or not this was my first time ever cooking steak :eek: )

Well done 5unflower.

A trick for getting a nice dark colour on the outside of your steak is to heat the pan until it's really really hot before adding the meat.
