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

MissFlitworth

Cheeseburger with garlic butter fries in Wowburger (Dublin). Oh my sainted aunt. Lovely. And I'm vampire proof for a couple of days.

MissFlitworth

Day 2 Stew. Spanished up with lots of smoked paprika, chorizo & garlic. Completely confirming my suspicion that 'stew carrots' are the best vegetables.



Bread & butter too, obvs. I'm not a savage.

RentDayBlues

Cooking day here so made a very large lasagne and a pot of chowder, enough for quite a few days

Mystery Egg

Maple mustard salmon, sweet potato puree and dressed green beans.

Just finished an exhausting month long move of house and patch up of old apartment before handing back, so we treated ourselves to a take away Indian/Bangladesh curry from our (new local) curry house. It was beautiful. Poppedoms with chutney and onions, chicken madras and Lamb Karai, Naan and Pilau rice......epic!!!

Thank you so much, Lidl, for having both Spaetzle and the right cheese on offer.

A v. v. messy looking plate of carbonéire. Tagliatelle with chicken thigh meat, bacon & mushrooms in a cream sauce with garlic, black pepper and and nutmeg. Covered in a fluffy mountain of parmesan.

Westafrican peanut stew.

It was gone too fast for me to take a photo. I have had to promise myself to only make it once a month, as there is a serious danger I could start having it for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next year or so.

Only I cook sweet potato chunks in the stock, and instead of collard greens made it with broccoli.
And served it with rice and poppadums.

Halloumi, roasted carrot and sweet potato salad with pomegranate dressing.

Last night we went Mexican.......

For starters we had Planchadas which is fried mozzarella and tortilla with all the dips below (no pic due to quality issues).

For mains it was Mexican Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Tomatillos Salsa, Guacamole, Chipotle Mayo, reduced marinade and Rainbow Salad.

Yesterday I was mortally hungover. So I got a Chinese. 3 in 1, spring roll, 3 chicken balls.

Today I was up early, I've had a chilli slow cooking all day. I made it extremely spicy so had to get sour cream.

Threw it in a wrap with cheese and sour cream, it's amazing.

MissFlitworth

Cottage pie - extra cheesy mash on the roof. To make up for the lack of peas therein (damned legumophobe). From the 'If they rhyme you can swap em' school of ingredient swaps.

Shenshen

Schupfnudeln (thank you, Lidl ) with mushrooms in white wine and cream sauce.



Now if only wild mushrooms were a little more available in this country.

BuffyBot

Some prawns pil pil style..

Lovely fresh mushrooms and you can order online.

Pricey but nice for a treat!

Thank you! Might give them a try, though it's all cultivated mushrooms as well.
I had been meaning to start growing my own, there's a good few places online selling spores for oyster and other tree bark mushrooms - you only need your own log somewhere, apparently.

I've also asked my mum to send me dried wild mushrooms later this autumn but it'll depend on how many she'll find this year.

Some lemon sole waiting to be dredged for some sole meunière tonight. Chunky crispy chips to accompany

BuffyBot

A very lazy snack plate when watching GBBO: a trip around the continent :P

Greek Kalamata olives, French salami, German pretzels and Swiss cheese.

StripedBoxers

Last few nights have been bolognese, or bolognese sauce with garlic bread depending on my level of tiredness.

Griddled Spicy chicken with home made chips and garlic mayonnaise.

Comfort needed after this week.

Shenshen

Grown-up mac'n'cheese - pasta, cauliflower and broccoli with a cheddar and Tipperary Blue cheese sauce, baked.

Quick, easy, and so comforting.

Went to Banyi Japanese in Temple Bar last night, best Japanese food I've ever had I think. Sushi was unbelievable. We had a Groupon voucher for €45 for 2 people which included a cocktail, 4 food courses and tea/coffee. Some of the dishes (excuse the quality!):

Flamed nigiri (amuse bouche)
Fillet beef teriyaki
Special sushi selection
Mango cheesecake with pineapple salsa and coconut sorbet



Link for Groupon in case anyone's interested - would highly recommend!
