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

A packet of Keogh's Shamrock and Sour Cream crisps. The big one. By myself. And I licked the packet to ensure I got all the shamrock bits.
And a multivitamin as I need some real nutrition.

A green curry that tasted suspiciously like knorr chicken soup with a bit of chili in. Nearly positive that if I'd managed to nip into the kitchen the chef would have been standing over one of these looking guilty

Poppadoms with raita and mango chutney. Pea, potato and spinach samosas. Onion bhajis. Spiced vegetable biriyani made with this recipe and some naan. Lemon tart and cream for dessert. Lots of wine. Good chums. Nice night.

Freezer surprise last night. Turned out to be spicy Thai chicken soup. Result!

I played a full round of golf with my Dad after work yesterday in the glorious sunshine we had. I played really well and to top if off we both had unbelievably massive burgers in the clubhouse afterwards....they were soo yum!

Fresh out of the ocean - dredged some razors yesterday when I was working in Clifden.....

Steamed some with wine, garlic & chilli and used remaining juice to make a light sauce by adding a small bit of cream and Pernod.

Threw a few on the bbq to see how they'd go - not too bad is the answer (cooked on a low setting and for not very long, then a blast at max heat for a few seconds).

........and it seemed a shame to waste the wine given I had to open it to get some for cooking with:D

Ooooooooooh. I've never had razors, though I see them all the time. Are they basically just extra-lengthy white clams that I am a tit for not buying before now? Do they need any particular prepping or can I just throw them on to steam after washing them? My only experience with them to date, despite being a massive shellfish lover, is having my foot sliced open on the beach aged nine I'd like my revenge.

Buttermilk baked chicken drumsticks, baby roasties (again) and red cabbage slaw. Finger lickin' good!

Pan Fried Ling with a Chorizo, Kale and Aldi "Mixed Beans" Stew. Very, very nice.

I've just had a dirty big steak for dinner, but seeing that has me salivating again. Lecker!

Gloomtastic, can I have your slaw recipe please?

Red cabbage shredded. Carrot grated. Celery thinly sliced. Tsp chilli flakes. Dash of balsamic, dollop of mayo, salt and pepper.

Almond & lentil stew. Surprisingly good. Though I wasn't wild on the cinnamon so subbed chilli flakes for it. Cheap as chips; possibly cheaper in fact.

We had mongolian beef again, with rice. It was yum.

I've had rice for several days in a row now. Bushtin' for a nice shpud. :pac:

Pizza for us tonight, I am just in no humour to cook today.

Wowsers, there's been some amazing dinners here lately! I want to reach into the computer and eat them I'm just settling back to normality after a week travelling in America for work (hello, corporate dinners! ) and the thread is really motivating me to get back into the kitchen.



Daning noodle take-away with prawn crackers from Saba to celebrate nearly getting to the end of a long week. It was delicious and totally perked me up. I haven't had Saba in ages, but I definitely won't make that mistake again!

I've been making chinese beef with broccoli a good bit for the last while since a few of the supermarkets have been doing deals on both beef and broccoli:

Using this recipe: http://rasamalaysia.com/beef-and-broccoli-recipe/2/

Its really really good - I tend to make the same basic recipe listed for 4 as part of a multicourse but for two with less beef and more broccoli and the same amount of marinade and sauce.

It is so so good despite being so simple, but I would say that getting good oyster sauce is very important; I use this one -

http://tramaekrua.com/tra-mae-krua-oyster-sauce/?lang=en

It is 30% oyster extract compared to as little as 0.3% in thai gold brand for example, and only 3 quid for 600ml in the local chinese supermarket.

Butchers burgers, buns, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheddar, red sauce and mayo. Oven chips.

Mediterranean stuffed peppers. Very tasty and pretty healthy too.
(We're trying to reduce our meat intake so I'm testing new vegetarian recipes)

Some meals from the week:

Meal one was chicken and vegetable stifry:



Then we had sole goujons with baby potatoes and salad:



And then home made meatballs in home-made tomato sauce with spaghetti:

The rest of my clan had left over stew from the day before but there was not enough for all of us so I had a quick and easy but tasty salmon salad. The salad leaves had a hint of Newmans Caesar Dressing (all profits go to charity) and the cherry tomato, cucumber, spring onion mix had a hint of sweet chilli sauce and some salmon on top.


No one else in the house likes salmon so I used the rest on 50/50 wholemeal bread, courtesy of the bread maker, for breakfast.

Chilli & garlic marinated duck breast- cooked a la 'the beer revolu' aka skin side down and spooning the fat over it. I love my meat shockingly rare so it was un-be-lievable. Ever so tender.
Just on a small mixed leaf salad with red onion, red/orange peppers and mange tout flash fried in the duck fat while that was resting.

It really is the best cooking tip I've been given in ages. Would work just as well for a breast cooked medium too.
I won't discuss duck breast cooked any more than pink!

Seabass with salad leaves, olives, butter bean salad and cherry tomatoes. The seabass was all crunchy and salty - delicious! (excuse the bit missing from his tail where I picked him up and it fell off...)





And....I just found this on my photobucket - I made it years ago as a present for someone - there were 12 of them I think. I had forgotten all about it. It was chocolate cake filled with chocolate Italian Meringue butter cream.... I feel some baking coming on!

Any more rare than that the bird will fly off the plate back into the pond.

I know! You should see my steaks.....:eek:
However, it does mean no one ever asks for a piece so more for .Kovu.
