Here's What I Had For Dinner - Part III - Don't quote pics!

Roald Dahl

I was going to make something else tonight which called for coriander. I had a pot of coriander in the fridge - which can be hard to come by these days - which must have come in contact with the back of the fridge and become frozen and then defrosted again. It more or less turned into slime and was unusable.

Anyway, my 15-minute fallback recipe is chow mein.

Well, it takes a bit longer, but not much. :pac:

I bought a filtering deep fat fryer last year (that Black Friday nonsense discounts) and never used it until this week.

To get the most out of the oil before we dump it - the filtering only does so much, the oil can't last forever - we're going a bit mad with fried food this week

We had albondigos and patatas bravas earlier in the week; katsu chicken last night; doing sweet and sour pork with cornflour batter this evening and tonkatsu pork tomorrow.

Think the last hurrah for that oil will be some deep fried brie; as one of them always leaks and ruins the oil. The amount of breadcrumbs we've gone through is ridiculous, including having to home-dry panko cause there's been none in the shops.

I wondered if you could freeze stuff, I planned on cooking chicken balls and onion rings. I did a batch of onion rings before and kept in the fridge and finished them in the airfyer and they were great. They were only half cooked, the way chippers do it.

Saturday night is pizza night ðŸ˜

Sirloin, served with a baked spud, mushrooms and onions sauteed in the pan with some garlic butter.

Out of shot was the pepper sauce that the steak got drenched in before going into my belly!

We've spent the day in the garden, putting in new raised beds. So I was a bit too knackered to cook anything massive. I found a pack of Lidl's giant gnocchi filled with porcini mushrooms still in the fridge, so I cooked them, fried them in a bit of butter, and made a garlic cheesy cream sauce with them, and some broccoli on the side. Maybe it was because I was starving by the time it was done, but I'd swear it was the best thing I ate all week.

No photos, sorry. It was gone far too quick.

Baby back ribs. Thanks to tips from Toto Wolfcastle and The chan chan man, I finally succeeded in cooking succulent, falling-off-the-bone ribs. Mine have always been disappointing but these were fabulous. I made a sauce for the rice with the orange juice I put in the roasting dish and the juices that came off the ribs. Obligatory photo of stripped bones included.

Egg fried rice too? Must try again, I found it needed a lot of oil/soy sauce

No, it’s just steamed rice with the sauce made from pan juices poured over it.

Grilled Pork Chop on the BBQ with Roasted Chickpeas and Vegetables.

Great dinner tonight. I should have taken a photo but I was occupied with a small person giving out.

Salmon (steamed with lemon juice in a tinfoil pouch), baby boiled potatoes, asparagus, tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, baby kale and spinach.

Tossed together with a dressing of minced red onion, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, mustard, sea salt and black pepper.

Really fresh, quick and delicious. If making again I'd use wholegrain rather than English (had none), and add a clove of garlic and a finely sliced fresh chilli.

Baby wouldn't even touch it!

Had a surplus of mushrooms this week, so decided to use them up in risotto instead of them going off, yesterday and today's dinner... First one is with spelt instead of rice, second one is orzo instead of rice.

Orzo was much tastier, if I'm honest. Though I will try cooking with spelt again in future, it was decent. Maybe just not in risotto.

Gloomtastic!

Bbq’d Short Beef Ribs, Baked Potatoes and Oriental Coleslaw.



Confession: The ribs didn’t go near the bbq but they were stunning - 8 hours in the slow cooker, 30 minutes in a hot oven, lathered in sauce.

Handy dinner tonight - lasagna that I froze last week with one of the ciabattas I made yesterday. Dinner eaten in the garden again - it's only the end of May and it already feels like we've had a great summer

Not dinner. It was lunch today and eaten in the sun. Southern fried chicken burger with mayo and mixed leaves and chunky fries.

We had sticky chicken skewers and warm salsa that Neven Maguire made on Instagram today, they were absolutely delicious.

Al fresco dining this evening. Pulled pork from the Cooking Club, ribs, spicy chicken wings, potato salad, homemade tzatziki/raita, pesto penne, hummus and a lovely chilled Vinho Verde from Lidl.

Delish!!!
