The 'Here's what I had for dinner last night' thread - Part I

r3nu4l · 2007-03-21 09:29:44

Chicken & spinach lasagna. I keep thinking I'm at the end of the spinach in my garden, and it just keeps growing and growing. Definitely the best-value crop I've ever planted.

I hate you but love you in equal measures.

Last night - chipper.

Night before - beer chili. One of my favourite things to cook and to eat.

Looks very tasty, how do you make it?

Had a chicken fillet in the fridge and didn't know what to do with it.

Quick search here, and then cooked this.

Really enjoyed it.

Halloumi wrapped in roasted red peppers. It is, quite simply, the king of cheeses.

I've just started culinary arts in DIT and as part of our orientation we went to the pigs ear for lunch today.

I had:
Pork and ham hock brawn with carrot jam, pickles and toast.

Slow cooked duck leg with roast potatoes, sweetcorn and some sort of bean I forget what.

Warm 70% chocolate tart with caramel and salted butter ice cream.

It was all amazing. One of the best meals I've had out in a long time!

Confit Duck leg adapted from Jamie Oliver's current magazine, with puy lentils with spinach and an adaptation of his Red onion gravy.

Courgette linguini with chili, tomatoes & basil. Very tasty - and low carb!

No pics this time, but I think that I'll be blogging this recipe shortly.

Did I time this right or what? Today I made a coddle. With a twist.
To the spuds, sausages, onions, carrots, bacon and stock I added 2 cooking apples that were to hand. Lovely and the dubs won. It worked. It will feed an army so I'll have another bowl later

Last night we had chicken salad.
I had previously grilled chicken thighs, taken the meat off the bone and chopped into chunks. I fried this up to serve on a bed of grated carrot (with ginger, sesame oil, wasabi and lemon juice) which was on top of mixed, dressed leaves, cherry tomatoes and cucumber.

Is my blog stamp on my pictures alright?

I tend to copy the picture URL straight from my blog so the picture isn't giant so they end up with the stamp on them...

These are Leek, Gorgonzola and Walnut and Margherita pizza. =D

As long as traffic is not diverted from this site to get info that is relevant to the forum/thread - that's fine.

Buffalo Wings. Only €2.50 for chicken wings in Tesco (about double the amount shown). Cook, add Franks, celery stick. Easy!

Five-spiced pork chops with miso udon and veg.

Happy with it for a first attempt at making itr up out of my head. Next time; more 5 spice, less miso paste.

I had Honey-ec's Cannelloni last night.

I loved the filling and the tomato sauce ( I changed very little;)) but I was not very happy with the yoghurt based white sauce. (I should point out that I used Greek style yoghurt rather than fat free natural yoghurt) I had reservations about the sauce but went with it anyway - I really should follow my instinct.

I'll be using that recipe again but with bechamel sauce on top:D
