The 'Here's what I had for dinner last night' thread - Part II - Don't quote pics!

Mystery Egg

The husband did the cooking tonight, woo woo!

Chicken and chorizo, fried with peppers, onions and fresh tomatoes, seasoned with lots of garlic, chilli, lime juice, salt and pepper, and tossed with brown rice. It was hot, spicy, warming and delicious.

Pork satay. A little claggy so i'll loosen up the sauce a lot more next time, probs with some coconut milk. Tasty out though!

We were so wrecked and grumpy after grocery shopping for lots of healthy food (Aldi East Wall you are a pain both to get to and to be in) that we ended up with take out. Got some surprisingly delicious Singapore noodles. But also got a side order of rage because rice didn't arrive (because of a technical issue with massive-company-take-out-ordering-website.ie) and their live chat tried to say it was because the restaurant wanted to try force people towards paying extra for rice. Now that's a scummy thing to say about a small business when it's absolutely untrue and people stop ordering from places over the smallest things. *complains*

I want that plate of nachos pretty damned badly right now and it's 10.17 in the morning. No fair.


iwantmydinner - I think I'm going to have to return to my most hated method of ordering food, calling the take out. Ah well.

Still though, take out FTW

Last night we had good ol Irish stew.

Tonight was round roast beef sandwiched in gem lettuce with red onion and mayo. Beef was perfectly pink, cooked at high temperature for 21min and rested in oven for 2.5 hours.

Mushroom soup with rice. Boy, was it tasty! So tasty that I'm delighted I have it for lunch today, and I have a big pot of it at home too to freeze for the future.



I didn't use all my mushrooms though. I hope they'll last long enough for me to do something else with them. I don't really fancy having mushrooms for 3 days. Can you freeze risotto?

Risotto never freezes well for me anyway

Dammit. I could probably fry them off and freeze them in portions to add to stuff.

One of the best uses for leftover risotto is to make arancini.

Here's Nigel Slater on the subject:

Inspired by Bazmo's foodporn of the other day, I made chilli cheese nachos last night as well, using the Hairy Bikers recipe (my favourite). No pics as it didn't look half as good But it was delicious!

I can't find that recipe online. Can you post a link to it if you have one?

It's part of their "Hairy Dieters" cookbook. I usually have it with brown rice...having it with cheesy nachos kind of counter-balances the whole "diet" part of it :pac:

It's Italian for Tartare Sauce.

Also made that veggie chilli from the other thread. Today was the 3rd and final day having it. Got 4 long tray's in the freezer full of it to for a rainy day

fussyonion

Made a home-made lasagne from scratch, served with salad and some tiger bread.
It was delicious and there's no pic now but there's plenty of leftovers so I'll post a pic tomorrow.

We made pork potstickers/gyoza/fried dumplings last night. So much simpler than I had thought they would be to make (if exactly as time consuming as I thought they would be to fill) and so good. The pork mix smelled so lovely raw that you had to remind yourself not to taste it quite a bit. I could legitimately change my name to Dumpling after I ate so many. (still have about 15 uncooked ones in the freezer for dumpling emergencies though!)



That blob of red on the fishes tail is sriracha and not ketchup, ketchup probably be a bit odd tasting with these. All though sriracha wasn't great with the filling either

J Mysterio

Holy ****, homemade gyoza!?! OMG. They look excellent.

How long did they take? Do you have a recipe?

MissFlitworth

I do I do, we used The Dumpling Sister's potsticker's recipe The pork mix took about 10 minutes to prep and then maybe half an hour/40 mins filling & frying/steaming. We're not particularly fast at it though. Oh - and we bought the wrappers frozen and did not make them, that would be a step to far for lazy me.

How do you people find time on a working day to do this stuff? Fair play to you, but it makes me feel so inadequate...mine was quickly thrown together chilli nachos.

Oh man, thanks. Awesome. I'm gonna make these today or tomorrow

Felicity CLoake did them recently as well (twice in one day i've mentioned her here!).
