and we went to the rugby so beforehand we threw together a slow cooker of veg, red quinoa, tofu a few herbs. Returned home to a lovely smell of cooking as we came through the door. Worked our way through half the quantity with loads of bread dipped in the "gravy". De-caf coff and truffles (en promotion at Lidl) now in front of the tele.

For tonight's dinner we will be serving Filet Mignon de Porc, with Roast Veg (Pots, Parsnip, Carrots, Red Onion & Sweet Potato) with an accompaniment of Cauliflower. Cheeses to follow and Rhubarb Fool (again) to finish.
Yum! Yum!

We've got beef cuury, but for the next few days we will mostly be eating butternut squash as our lovely neighbours gave me one that weighed about 4kg this morning! So far have rustled up a batch of spicy roast squash soup, and a tomato, squash and goats cheese gratin...

Here's another butternut squash recipe, but you can also cut them up and freeze them raw.

I would love the recipe if that's possible please.

Tonight we will be enjoying Swordfish Steaks, napped with a Brown Shrimp & Butter Sauce with a hint of Mace and served with some Potato Wedges. Too long at work today & no time to make a dessert, so it could be a couple of Turrón from the Crimbo cupboard after the Cheese.
Yum! Yum!

by Le-Dolly Wed Nov 27, 2013 6:00 pm

This evenings feasting will consist of Cassolette of Capon with White Pepper Mash & Brussels. Cheese to follow and then somefink as yet undecided.
Yum! Yum!

by Le-Dolly Thu Nov 28, 2013 1:04 pm

Tonight's dinner will consist of Paupiettes de Dinde, Boiled Pots & Steamed Cauli. Cheese will follow and then Moelleux au Chocolat to finish.
Yum! Yum!

by Izzyedwards Thu Nov 28, 2013 1:15 pm

Tonight we'll be having cauliflower, broccoli and blue cheese soup, with plenty of lovely crusty bread.

by BLAKEVINE Thu Nov 28, 2013 1:42 pm

Must be a cauli thing as I bought a large one and using Delia's Cauli and Roquefort soup receipe turned it into a cauldron of Cauli and Bleu Empereur soup. (Never had bleu empereur before but it turned out fine). Had some for lunch though so not sure if I've now corrupted this thread.....sorry. K

by Izzyedwards Thu Nov 28, 2013 2:20 pm

Hi K - yes, I only use half a cauli and half a broccoli floret as there's only 2 of us, otherwise we'd be drowning in the stuff!! The rest of the veg will no doubt get used up in some sort of stir-fry in the next couple of days... Smile

by Myriam Thu Nov 28, 2013 4:04 pm

Today's lunch: terrine de campagne with cèpes, boeuf bourguignon with wholemeal organic rice, cheese, semouille pudding with redberry coulis, coffee.

by Le-Dolly Fri Nov 29, 2013 10:48 am

Cauli again! One of my worst nightmares tonight, Cauliflower Cheese (I detest most hot, melted, cheesy things) with thick slices of Corned Beef & Peas. Afterwards, Cheeses followed with Pineapple Crumble & Ice Cream.
Yum! Yum!

by Izzyedwards Fri Nov 29, 2013 1:07 pm

We most often have our cauliflower cheese with strips of crispy smoked bacon and lashing of Daddies sauce. I find it too rich without the bacon and sauce..

by Le-Dolly Sat Nov 30, 2013 3:45 pm

More b1oody cauli, I bought it last Sat, and it's still going. Tonight, Beef Vindaloo with cauli, Papadums, Onion Bahji's & Samosas. Balinese Rice Pudding for afters.
Yum! Yum!

by Myriam Sat Nov 30, 2013 4:08 pm

Mmmm, onion bahji's, haven't had one for 17 years! Can you point me to a good recipe, please study

Onion B recipes abound on the net, I have tried several and they have all come out pretty well. I do have a really good recipe for getting rid of the dreaded courgette and it makes a very good Bhaji.

What's for dinner tonight? - Page 5 Cb10

When frying, I cook it about one third of the time, until they hold together, then allow to cool and freeze for later. This will allow a second fry when required that does not over cook the bhaji

This evenings repast will be Roast Rolled Turkey Thigh filled with a Pork, Armagnac & Raisin stuffing, accompanied with Roasted Veg, Pots, Carrots, Parsnips & Red Onion. A selection of Cheeses to follow and some of yesterday's leftover Rice Pudding with Pineapple to finish.
Yum! Yum!

by Izzyedwards Sun Dec 01, 2013 5:05 pm

We're having roast chicken joints and salad, and (strange co-incidence!) rice and apple baked pudding (which is basically rice pudding layered with apples..)

by Myriam Sun Dec 01, 2013 7:07 pm

Thanks very much Le Dolly for the recipe, that looks a good one. Is the drum (chickpea) flour available here?

Spitfire48: thank you too.

Will try making the onion bahji's in advance, freeze them and then serve them at our next cinema session in the dining room of our B&B. Hope the locals won't find them too spicy affraid

Drum flour? GRAM flour. Yes it is readily available in Thoune Asia and other Asian outlets and some Bio/health shops. It can be done, most unsuccessfully in my opinion, with other flours, but for original taste and flavour, it must be Gram. It does not clog like wheat & cereal flours and it cooks faster.
Bon Appétit.

by Myriam Mon Dec 02, 2013 8:47 pm

Merci, yes, I meant gram flour of course. Will check it out, thank you.
