Cheesey baked Enchiladas with chicken, onion, peppers, jalapenos, pinto and kidney beans, served with some refried beans on the side (I won't even say what my wife said they looked like. )

I agree with your wife about the beans,,,. Enchiladas look lovely though.

Last nights dinner was home made steak and veg pie, done in a short crust pastry with onion gravy, served with creamy mash on the side, and some sweet garden peas, with garlic butter.

It was a very hearty meal that went down well after a long walk in the cold. Didnt tame pictures as we had company, and I didn't wanna look like they were dining with a lunatic.

Today's dinner was my American style beef stew, finished in the slow cooker.

Loads left for tomorrow too.

Result!

What makes a stew American style?
A can of condensed soup?

I follow an American recipe for it, calls for the skins left on the spuds, and there's tomato puree, paprika (as two ingredients not in.an Irish stew)

The end result is a reddish colour with a slight hit of spiciness to it.

It's always a big hit in our house

Leg of lamb with a rosemary, garlic, juniper berries and lemon zest rub.

Looks like my stew, lovely stuff. I generally just bang whatever in but always add a bit of spice, love it

Any time dizzy wants to invite Alf (kids and wife are optional) do dinner I'm totally good with that.

Yesterday was a slice of delicious roasted vegetable quiche purchased at the Dun Laoghaire People's Park food market and a heap of sweet potato fries...something quick and easy while we were trying to sort the house out for Christmas, it's been a bit neglected.

Made chicken supreme with rice and chilli green beans


Loads left over.

Yesterday I made a Vietnamese curry from the Happy Pear cookbook. The recipe used tempeh but I used chicken instead, as I'm not a maniac. The curry was absolutely lovely, gorgeous flavours and very easy to make. The roasted butternut squash was yum.

Mild cheddar/mozzarella, chorizo, guacamole, cashews, shallots - homemade vegan pizza by my friend, so the dairy/meat are alternatives.

Chestnut, sage and mushroom Wellington served with roast rosemary potatoes, roasted carrots, brussels sprouts, seasonal greens, lentil gravy

That looks so so good! Can I be cheeky and ask would you post the recipe or a pic of it?

Here you go! My only change would be to peel the butternut squash - they suggest leaving it on but I firmly disagree.

CHRISTMAS HAM! My husband made this beautiful beast today. He boiled it in ginger beer with lots of oranges, cloves, bay and cinnamon, then baked it with a glaze of maple syrup, mustard, soy sauce & worcestershire sauce.

IT TASTES FRICKIN AWESOME!

It looks amazing. Only that ours isn't long out of the oven I'd try it myself. We go apples with cider, onion, rosemary, cloves, cinnamon and peppercorns.

Then our glaze was Colmans and brown sugar. Still gorgeous but less exotic.

The meal was ridiculously good, I'm afraid I can't post the recipe as it was from a cafe, going forward are you meant to post pictures of your dinner if you bought them or not? I'll definitely speficify next time if you can

We like to ogle all dinners, regardless of where they come from

Leftovers.

Ham, stuffing, and roasties mashed with carrots & parsnips cooked in the waffle maker. All with lashings of gravy. Devine.

arian

For tea, which seems to be the dinner of this thread

We had Scottish stovies. Our version had cooked onion plus leftovers: sliced mutton, sprouts, carrots, roast potatoes and gravy, layered in the pan.

It's actually a great use for it. It's just a cheap ALDI one we got for making pancakes/waffles for the kid. Works great for making hash? from leftover potatoes and veg too. So easy too.

Brussell Sprouts cooked with chilli, garlic and jalapenos, with baby potatoes and chorizo.

Michellenman

Donal skehans hearty minestrone soup. Recipe makes looooads so just as well it's nice

Absolutely sick of turkey and ham at this point so this was a welcome change.

Dizzyblonde

We're sick of turkey and ham too so we had rib eye steaks for dinner tonight with sautéed potatoes, onions and mushrooms and roasted cherry tomatoes. Steak never tasted so good

Alf Stewart.

I'm officially out of turkey.

Had a turkey omlette for breakfast.
