Pizza-style buns.

Essentially floury baps, filled with gouda, mozzarella and mushrooms fried with garlic and oregano, then brushed with garlic butter and baked. Next time, I'll throw in some jalapenos and olives, too.

@Shenshen they look tasty!

Chili beef and cheesy chips for me tonight!

The sour cream is needed, laced a bit too much chili sauce in it

Also i think the photos get turned around when they are over 4mb(top is over bottom is below 4)

Corned beef can be delicious. I've only rediscovered it in the last few years, too.

Some is better than others. O' Mahony's in the English Market is the best I've tasted.

Parsley sauce or mustard sauce is great with it, too.

Chili Con Carne with Jalepeno garnish. Usually I just use an Old El Passo packet, but this is from scratch and is nicer.

Chicken, chorizo and butterbeans in a tomato based sauce, with pasta.

In what form is the corned beef from O' Mahony's sold TBR?

(I've just bought the cold sliced form from Lidl for sambo purposes (it's hard to find elsewhere)).

Butchers corned beef is a very different beast to the sliced luncheon meat variety.

It comes as a cut of meat, similar to ham or bacon and is cooked in the same way. It is, to all intents and purposes, the beef version of ham.

Beef and Portobello Mushroom pies.

Very cheap to make really......one tray of Beef Cubes, 4 Portobello mushrooms and I threw in a few spoons of Red Lentils.

woodchuck · 13-02-2022 9:04pm

Duck with mash, tenderstem broccoli and gravy

Planet X · 14-02-2022 6:46pm

Nice. How did you cook the duck?

It was confit duck that we bought from Tesco and just needed to heat in the oven 🙈 It's super tasty though, I highly recommend it! The fat is perfectly rendered and the skin is crisp.

woodchuck · 14-02-2022 8:49pm

Starter: Spring rolls with dipping sauce.

Main: Baked salmon with noodles and veg.

Dessert: Homemade gooey chocolatey brownies (with a little chopped walnut for texture) and vanilla ice-cream.

sporina · 14-02-2022 11:46pm

@woodchuck the salmon looks fab

Thanks ... but again, Tesco can take the credit for that one 😂🙈

Chicken Fricessée with Olive Sourdough Fougasse

woodchuck · 15-02-2022 9:16pm

Chilli Marrakech with a side of couscous and topped with freshly chopped coriander.

Having another homemade brownie for dessert again soon 🤤

cnocbui · 16-02-2022 9:20pm

I had a leftover stick of Pok Choy, so rather than risk it going to waste, it's Thai green chicken curry again.

sporina · 16-02-2022 11:30pm

@woodchuck again that looks and sounds fab..

Thanks! I think I'd only made it once before a long time ago, but it's super tasty, so must make it more often. This is the recipe if you're interested (but I scaled the quantity of the ingredients waaay back!):

Having the leftovers tonight 🤤

yum - thanks - left overs always taste better hmm

woodchuck · 20-02-2022 8:48pm

Chicken breast on the bone, with a tasty marinade and stuffed with a piece of black pudding (from the butcher as opposed to Tesco this time 🙈). Served with masked potato and honey roasted carrots and parsnips.

igCorcaigh · 20-02-2022 9:18pm

Black rice (with shrimp paste, garlic & kecap manis), fresh porcini and spinach.

Dave_The_Sheep · 21-02-2022 3:27am

Experiment with air-fryer roast potatoes. I overdid them a little (a good bit), maybe a few minutes less at a slightly lower temp and they'd be grand. Crispiness was excellent, just a tad over. Pepper sauce was a packet, average at best.

Steak was nice though.

Recliner · 21-02-2022 9:01am

How did you do the roasties? I think they look perfect.

snowgal · 21-02-2022 11:00am

all looks really yum dave. Kinda what I had in mind for this eve! Btw, I think the Spice of life pepper sauce is one of the better sauces out there. Can I ask, whats the veg side there?
