would love a recipe for the peanut stew, looks yummy! not a fan of soupy stuff so would probably make the sauce a bit thicker and have it with rice though!

Hey! I just make it up, I don't have a particular recipe. You just need a single pot generally, or a second if you want to parboil the potatoes.

Fry some onions and garlic in a pot, add a tin of tomatoes, a bag of spinach, a few big spoons of peanut butter - more the better! Peel (optional) and cube potatoes quite small and add them*, tin of chickpeas (plus a second can if you want - depending on how much you are making, in this case I used different beans for the second can to mix it up but I usually just use chickpeas), fill the pot up with water and let it sit on a really low heat until it looks done/potatoes are soft (like 30-60 mins depending). Add truffle oil on top if you want, I don't usually but this was a gift. Can add asecond tin of tomatoes for volume if you need.

*you can parboil the potatoes or stick them in a microwave to make this meal way faster, the slowest thing by far is waiting form the potatoes to cook.

The amounts really don't matter in this, you just need to have peanut butter and water and to reduce it and it will taste delicious. I didn't wait for the food to cool down but when you do the sauce becomes way thicker and like a curry, even nicer. And it's great with rice yep. I had some as well.

Had a feeling it was that kinda recipe but had to ask just in case and wanted to know any secret ingredients you might have used! easy to add any veg you want in too!

Pork and Veg pie. I used up most of the freezer because I need to defrost it. Pork was 3 chopped up big pork chops and all the veg was frozen bags with just a bit left in each. I had nothing for the gravy so an oxtail cup a soup did the trick.
Enough left for tomorrow too with a few boiled spuds methinks ! It was very tasty which is rare in my leftover recipes !

Nice! I kinda think that's the most satisfying kind of cooking - making something great out of stuff that's not exactly promising; it's so much more of a challenge

Aldi are currently selling lovely raw pink king prawns, and I made a Tika Masala sauce, from scratch, threw the prawns in raw for the last 8/9 minutes or so.

Served with wholegrain rice and a piece of flat bread.

Did it not dry up ? That's what I'd be afraid of doing it like that.

Sorry trash, missed this question.

No, absolutely not. If you zoom in to the photos of the meat after it was sliced you can clearly see how moist it was.

I probably should have added that I wrapped it in foil for ten minutes or so after removing from the grill, which allows the juices to be released.

I think I'm going to do another one tomorrow, it will depend on the weather.

Teriyaki Salmon with Pak Choi Noodles

That looks good! ^^^^^^^^^

I'm far too lazy.

This is basically kale and potatoes.

Vegan scallops? I'm intrigued, what are they made from?

A Vegan Scallop does not eat meat, only Potatoes. Are you getting confused ?

Potatoes do not grow in the sea. Of that I am certain. Scallops are sea creatures - so unless they are coming onshore and have taken to raiding potato fields - then I think we have a problem

And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings

Think the vegan scallops are made from sliced mushroom stems.

Joke no - you eat grass? Scallops are not fish btw - they are crustaceans and are believed to be classified as belonging somewhere between the animal and plant world. Not me saying that btw. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/qvxznq/are-scallops-vegan

Anywayssss - I thought someone said these ones were made of spuds no?

Joke! Most people seem to consider any food that come from the sea as fish
