Summer Halloumi Curry with peshwari naan.

I love halloumi so much I once wrote a poem about it on my blog

Any chance of the recipe for that?

I'm after buying some of those peshwari naans! Thanks Vel.

Made beer batter fish tacos after seeing a post about them last week, was nice enough for a first try, didn't have any lettuce or red cabbage in the kitchen unfortunately! Taking advantage of my girlfriend's fancy camera

Kung Po Chicken, with rice and broccoli topped with roasted peanuts

Himself cooked a sweet potato curry. Absolutely delicious.

Last night Himself made a delicious cauliflower soup. I'd have taken a photo, but I was too busy laughing about the fact he'd forgotten to blend it so it was more 'cauliflower bits in broth'. Still tasty though, he's a damn good cook for a man with no interest in cooking.

For the last few weeks my MIL has not been well so I have been putting on a bit extra and doing dinners for them, she likes to have fish on a Friday, but my house are not gone on fish, but I have hit on a recipe that everyone likes, battered fresh cod - happydays:)

Gloomtastic!

Bit early for dinner, bit late for lunch........

A Chipotle Burger from Eddie Rockets. They promised HOT HOT HOT but delivered HOT. Still good though.

We had caghuse (pork shoulder steaks/onions/stock/cider) last night, together with microwaved mangetout and reheated Greek lemon potatoes (they lost their lemon flavour in the reheating ).

Friday - steak, spuds, peas and other veg.
Sat - Lamb chops, vegs, spuds.
Today will be chicken wraps (pitta for me).

Today we had smoked coley and spinach bake from a Gordon Ramsay recipe, added in some salad potatoes to bulk it out because we underestimated the amount of spinach we needed. Definitely one we'll be making again, the sauce was lovely and smokey from the fish

kylith

Pasta with a homemade cherry tomato and basil sauce, topped with vegan parmesan.

miamee

Made a squash and red lentil curry last night with cous cous, very nice but recipe probably needs tweaking. There was plenty in it for today and tomorrow (a very good trait in any dish imo :pac: )

Surreptitious

New potatoes, peas, fried mushrooms and onions with steak and pepper sauce.

beertons

Bazmo's stuffing balls, veg & smoked salmon quiche, and home made coleslaw.

McMurphy

Stirfried Chinese vegetables with king prawns and egg noodles.

All done in the wok with some good quality dark soy, honey and Thai seven spice.

Spinach, Fig and Buckwheat with Walnut-Crusted Pork

Gloomtastic!

Took Mrs G! to see The Big Sick last night.

Was dithering this morning about what to make tonight when I had a flashback to the movie so we had Curryaddict's Chicken Biryani from The Cooking Club. If you've never made this I cannot recommend it enough.

Cooked some lamb on the bbq yesterday.

I recently got some lessons on how to make Indian flatbreads (phulka and chapatis in particular) from a lovely Indian lady. So yesterday, I put all I learned into practice and made a squash and butterbean balti-style curry, with marinated baked paneer, and plain phulkas and chapatis.
Next time I'll try my hand on stuffed chapatis.

Between 5-8:30 yesterday evening I cooked:
1. Pan-fried rack of lamb with mashed potatoes and peas
2. A bacon, cheese and mushroom frittata
3. Sort-of Kung-po chicken with rice

It all went really well actually, and I was extremely happy with the rack of lamb. I haven't cooked one before and this one was pretty small so I decided to do 90% of the cooking on the stovetop and give it less than 5 minutes in a hot oven so that the fat would be crisp and golden but the meat still nicely pink. After 10 minutes resting it was just as I hoped it would be.
The frittata is a recipe I sort of cobbled together out of other ones but I've made it a few times and it's always tasty but not very pretty because the mushrooms always give it an overall greyish tinge. The sort-of kung-po chicken recipe started off as a thai cashew chicken one but has morphed an awful lot over the years I've been cooking it

Shenshen

Homemade falafel, homemade houmous, homemade tsatsiki, ajvar and some crumbled-up feta cheese stuffed into pitta pouches with lettuce, onion, jalapenos and cucumber.

And a lovely ale to go with it.
What is it about messy food that's just so... nice?

Vel

A few from the past few dinners:

Pasta with ricotta, peas, chorizo and pine nuts - quick, easy and very satisfying!

Spiced veg filo pie - The recipe promised lots but I found it a bit bland.

Borlotti beans with chorizo, roasted tomatoes and a corriander dressing - delicious with lots of crusty bread

Went for comfort food tonight, mince with diced carrots, mushrooms, onions, peas and gravy mixed through it and served on yorkshire puds. The youngling point blank refused to touch it.

We had hake with a lime and pistachio crust, sweet potato wedges and spinach with lemon juice. It was a very healthy, zingy dinner!
