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

Made some fried chicken and a potato salad with charred chilli, tomato and orange salsa topped with maple and cumin glazed pumpkin seeds

Tagliatelle Bolognese - well, the Italians on here will rightfully argue it's not a Bolognese sauce as it doesn't have meat in it. What it is is a slow-cooked veg, mushroom and tomato ragu. And what it also is is bloody tasty!

I wanted something warming, comforting and satisfying yesterday. So I decided to try a new recipe, Rajma Masala

It's a creamy, slightly spicy kidney bean curry and it really ticked all the boxes! We had some vegetable pakoras with it, and fresh chapattis

My husband doesn't really cook and when he does, he usually chooses a veggie option.

So today unusually he fancied a roast so I sent him to the butcher for a piece of rolled rib of beef, or failing that, a piece of brisket. If neither cuts were to be had I told him to ask for something conducive to long slow cooking.

The butcher sent him home with... round.

I did my best with it. I seasoned the joint and seared it, and then braised for a few hours in wine with garlic, mixed fresh herbs, carrots, celery and onions.

The result was tender with a delicious gravy...but God was the meat itself grey and flavourless. 😒 We did our best and served it with roasted new potatoes from the garden, carrots and broccoli but we've a mound of tasteless leftovers. 🙄

Good idea. I'll slice into strips and make fajitas with peppers, onions and a lot of spices. Thanks!
