Today I am cooking Lamb Rogan Josh. It's my first time doing it.

Sticky Char Siu Pork with Soba Noodles

Can I get your recipe for Char Siu please?

Last night was Eggless meatballs with gnocci and tomato sauce. Other than buggering up the sauce it was very nice. Gnocci have a very strange texture though...

Pork in cider casserole, Jamie Oliver recipe.

It's simple enough - you need char siu sauce, soy sauce and chinese rice wine. Fry your pork until browned before adding in 2 tbsp each of rice wine and soy sauce. Bubble away for a few minutes then add about 3 tbsp of char siu sauce.

Let it boil and bubble away until it turns thick and sticky and begins to coat the pork.

Last night was coffee spice rubbed, rare T-bones with a wine, thyme and chocolate chilli reduction; roast, squashed baby potatoes; roast yellow and orange carrots; slow roast tomatoes and garlic; wilted spinach with nutmeg.

While the coffee spice rub was nice and didn't clash with the reduction, it did sort of dominate the flavour of the steak (bit of a waste considering the price of the steak!) and the nutmeg was one flavour too many on the plate. Good dinner all the same;)

Tomatoes, garlic, spinach (leaf beet) and thyme from our garden and carrots from my sisters garden.

Fillet steaks with mashed carrot & turnip, creamed spuds & gravy from the juices.

Simple Stuffed chicken Supreme, Roast New Potatoes, Wild Mushroom and Truffle Cream Sauce
No pics im afraid

Starter was goats cheese crostini from the Cooking Club, with a rocket, pine nut and chorizo salad (recreating one I had in the Market Bar last week!).

Main was beef stroganoff, made it without brandy from an RTE recipe and it really didn't work. Edible but a waste of two lovely fillet steaks IMO!

paulbok · 26-09-2011 02:29PM

popadoms with mango chutney,
Chicken Bhuna with pilau rice
Naan Bread,
Strawberry Ice cream.

Everything home made.

Nan bread was a little dissapointing but gonna try a recipe off another thread next time.

Tonight's dinner has an American theme. Currently everything is in the oven.

To start we're having sweetcorn relish with tortilla chips. The main course is meatloaf, macaroni cheese and green beens. Dessert will be pumpkin pie (my first attempt). Can't wait!

Bassfish · 29-09-2011 02:37PM

Last night was Chicken Bhuna, basmati rice and natural yoghurt. Have loads left over so tonight i'll be doing Jamie Oliver's recipe for leftover curry biriyani, can't wait.

Miss Fluff · 30-09-2011 11:54AM

Last night we had pan fried, lightly floured pork escalopes with a tomato, garlic and broad bean stew; wilted spinach and red cargo rice.
Also had a bake made with potato, apple, onion and a black dried sausage we got in Lisbon - very nice:D

We currently have beef cheeks braising in the oven, so I made a quick salad to snack on while we wait for them to cook.

Salad of smoked ham hock, carmelised pear, lamb's lettuce with a mustard vinaigrette.

Minder · 02-10-2011 11:12AM

Made Seabass en Papillote using this recipe from Masterchef Australia.

Tonight - a grilled halloumi salad with confit cherry tomatoes & crispy onions.

Waiting for a cheese & onion pie to cool so that I can enjoy a late night slice before bed (make using Simon Hopkinson's recipe from here).

trackguy · 03-10-2011 09:57AM

Made a stew from a Jamie Oliver recipe - Beef & Ale Stew with herby dumplings.

Was really tasty

I made Sheperds pie. I riced the potatoes and added olive oil that my friend brings me from their press in Italy, a little nutmeg and seasoning. Then I riced the mix back over the pie. It looked so cool and there were loads of little crunchy bits for everybody as there is alot more surface that if I just forked it.

The next one I make will have a thin layer of turnip puree under the potato.

(There's a bit of a sheperds pie war going on at the moment, thus the obsession with it lately)

Here is the rasberry cake I made - cooling while I was making the lemon drizzle icing.

Beef short ribs stewed in red wine, tomatoes, and loads of garlic and herbs with pinto beans.
The ribs made an extra tasty stew and cost €3.75 and stretched to 4 portions:D

Hey everyone^^

Last night I had my famous "I'm a student on a budget" homemade vegetarian sushi! 3 rolls between me and my boyfriend, to be exact!

The filling was Avocado,:pac: Red pepper, and Daikon~

Avocado is a bit of a luxury these days but it was so worth it;) My favourite filling by far.

Pork Chops with Minty Cabbage and Smashed Potatoes from Jamie Oliver's 30 Minutes (to Cook and 30 Minutes to Clean) Meals book. Worked a treat!

Last night we had a herby lemony roast chicken with baby spuds and fresh veg - bliss.

Tonight we're having dhal with naan. And one of Faith's caramel slices for dessert.
