What Are You Eating Tonight?

on a forum I often frequent, they have a thread titled 'What are you eating tonight?'

works well with lots of interest, as loads of recipes are shared

I'm cooking tonight (I cook on fridays and BBQ on saturdays) ... I have already started cooking (chicken is simmering):

1 chicken cut into pieces (my village tesco were selling fairly large fresh chickens on 'special for £2.50 so could not resist)
add salt/fresh ground black pepper and chicken spice (I use Robertsons chicken spice from south africa, but any chicken spice will do)

fry in olive oil to brown

then, add 1 large chopped onion, 6 cloves of crushed garlic, 1 small chilli chopped (seeds removed) ... 1 heaped tablespoon of dried oregano crushed in the palm of your hand .... keep frying for a while until onions have softened

add passata (box of crushed tomato, or you can use 2 tins of tomato in tomato juice)

1 large cup of water .... 1/2 cup of red wine and simmer for approx 1 1/2 hrs with the pot lid on, stirring occasionally

serve with spagetti (I use the fresh one from Tesco), .... once the spagetti is cooked, add the chicken plus sauce to the spagetti pot after draining the spagetti ....

after serving on plates, add extra ground black pepper and cover generously with grated parmesan cheese .... and serve with crusty oven baked garlic bread and an ice cold erdinger beer

pud is a mars bar :o

cheap, tasty and easy, but you will have 'garlic breath' for a couple of days

 

spaghetti with butter and parmesan cheese

 

have you tried spagetti with smooth peanut butter? .... sounds wierd, but tastes really good

you need to add a few heaped tablespoons of peanut butter to the hot spagetti straight after it's been cooked/drained and mix well

serve with loads of cheese and onion crisps and an ice cold coca cola

(bachelor food) :D

 

Thai takeaway :D.

 

I can try it one day just to do you a favour ...(:D)

 

Friday: Just going to carmelize some onions, saute green and red peppers, brown up some sausages, put all in a roll. And have a cold beer with it.

Saturday is BBQ day, will get some steaks from local butcher.

Sunday, have not a clue yet. Something will inspire me.

Have some left over roasted chicken, will make chicken salad for sandwiches also.

Have some beet roots, might cook them up and simmer pasta with the juices and put globbs of goat cheese on all.

By the way love spagetti with just the cheese on it, have you tried a little truffle oil on it, yummy. Or throw spagetti in a skillet with a couple raw eggs, cook briefly.

 

Steaks You can afford steaks

Home made Rum

 

We had:

Sausages and pan fried chipped potatoes, with a side order of oven baked haricot beans in a mild tomato sauce.

 

Well, Jack, if you come over in the fall, I will feed you thick juicy steaks, for racking all my leaves.

 

I hope you'll extend that offer to me too, I've just bought my plane ticket. I do insist on a few mugs of tea as I work too though

 

Sure Clueless, Tea and steaks for raking my leaves, good deal. come on over. Not until October/November. I've got a big grill for some really thick steaks.

 

I bet you have a massive garden, full of deciduous trees

 

We had a Thai green curry at the local pub last night , lovely.
