Here's What I Had For Dinner - Part III - Don't quote pics!

PMBC

It was a very simple and late lunch.
A large piece of whiting from fishmongers last week and frozen fresh. Fried on the pan and ate with a wedge of lemon. Delcious.
But very hungry now.
Can you still buy that old style Paxo breadcrumbs packet?

Good to know, but OH is practically vegan so I've even had to stop chucking worchestershire in everything

Wonder if there's anywhere sells Henderson's, Yorkshire's answer to Worcestershire sauce? It doesn't have anchovies, so it's at least vegetarian, if not vegan.

(Whatever it tastes like - I've never found it - it's got a rotten website.)

vegan?

tell him/her to fup off and make their own dinner then

I'd have said the same a few months ago but other than the fact that the cheese is woeful the food's pretty tasty.

BBQ again tonight.

More Mexican chili cheese burgers. Full chicken fillets marinaded in the Tesco Satay sauce. Homemade potato salad made from baby spuds, finely diced red onion, parsley and mayo. Knocked up a side salad too from the leftover baby gem lettuce, onion, cherry tomatoes and peppers. A dash or two of white wine vinegar with a sprinkle of coriander.

Lads it was bloody great. To top it all off the icecream man called and we have just finished with two monster 99's! The wine is nearly gone too.:D

Tesco have a vegetarian Worchestershire sauce - I'm not sure it's vegan, though, but doesn't taste any different (as far as I can tell )

Chicken fillet with a tandoori spice rub, fried with thinly sliced mushrooms and onions and a couple of chopped tomatoes. A little chicken stock added at the end, and served with veggie rice once again.

We had lasagna tonight. I made it with Aldi fresh pasta sheets - I'm never using dried ones again, there's no comparison.

Interesting! I never thought of using fresh sheets but I do love lasagne. I have a Jamie Oliver pasta maker that is still in the box..i might have a go this weekend.

We had spaghetti bolognaise- it is up there with my favourite comfort food. My husband made it, so I was nervous enough. He usually over flavours and seasons but it was really lovely.

Absolutely have to get back to making my own lasagne. Out of practice. I used to add peppers to mine too for extra kick. Great to see that fresh pasta sheets are back.

Any chance ye can recommend a lasagna recipe? I love it but always end up going down the Dolmio packet route.....

Do! So many people think making pasta is hard, but it's not. However, it is time consuming.

No problem. This is how I made the one yesterday and I think it was the nicest yet. I read here in the forum about adding beef stock and it really works.

1lb/500g of lean minced beef
A couple of finely chopped streaky rashers or a packet of bacon bits/lardons
I carrot, finely diced
I stick of celery, finely diced
1 medium onion, diced
2 crushed cloves of garlic
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon of tomato purée
About half a mug of beef stock (made with an Oxo cube)
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 heaped teaspoon of dried oregano
1 heaped teaspoon of dried basil
1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
olive oil

Fry the bacon in a tiny bit of olive oil until it's crisp. Add more oil and the onion, carrot, and celery and cook gently until it starts to soften. Add the garlic and beef and fry until the meat is brown. Add everything else (you might not need all of the stock so add about half and see how it goes), partly cover and simmer gently for at least an hour.

I make a basic white sauce, or sometimes use a Knorr packet and I add grated cheddar to the sauce before layering it all up. I put very little of it in the layers and pour most over the top, then grate parmesan all over it. With the fresh pasta sheets it took only 30 minutes to cook at 180C.

Where is everyone?

I had a Chicken Madras last night with Basmati rice. Very bold considering my Sunday intake. That said my Madras is pretty low fat in terms of how I make it. I was going to do some beef in Guinness sauce tonight, but didn't have the time. It's a dish I adore, but takes a bit of time. So I opted for easy comfort food and another curry. Chinese style this time using my tried and trusted paste. However my Butcher tempted me with his new salt and chili chicken. Therefore its a bowl of my curry and a bowl of the oven cooked salt and chili chicken and chips. Going common with the chips tonight and no rice. As I said - very bold!

Chicken thighs on the BBQ are something else. I leave the skin on. Oyster thighs in particular. Skin and meat rolls off together. Mmmmm....

Check out "turkish chicken kebabs" by "food wishes" on youtube. Sooo tasty - particularly with a few beers!

Mystery Egg

We had IKEA meatballs, home made chips, peas, cream sauce and lingonberry jam. Lidl knock off Oreo ice cream sandwiches for dessert.

Just home with some lambs liver, Have mushrooms and onions too. I want to slow cook the lot in a pan with a lid on, I might sound expert but havent a clue. I saw someone doing it on tv once and it looked nice, Apart from that, I am lost !

Loveinapril

We had honey and mustard glazed ham, broccoli and potato gratin. I didn't have to make it, which means it was extra delicious!
