I'd just settle for a plate or two!

I'd gladly pay for that!

Gloomtastic! · 13-12-2016 12:53am

^ Ok, still don't understand, it must be the copious amounts of alcohol! ðŸ™႒

Anyway, tomorrow is Bacon and Cabbage night, or as the modern Irish do it ...... ham and broccoli .........

I think that missed the word "Turkey".

Try this.

"A lovely spread with no meat. I want pics of empty plates".

Seriously though, it looked fabulous.

We had a veggie round for dinner but there was a turkey korma for us carnivores.

Dizzyblonde · 13-12-2016 8:37pm

Roast chicken, stuffing, veg, mash, roasties and gravy here tonight. No photos because we had company.

BuffyBot · 14-12-2016 12:23am

Bruschetta to use up some tomato pesto, cherry tomatoes and and very ripe goat cheese.

Blended the pesto with extra garlic, topped some sliced baguette slices with it, the chopped tomatoes and cheese. Baked bits of pure yum.

Cheesey baked Enchiladas with chicken, onion, peppers, jalapenos, pinto and kidney beans, served with some refried beans on the side (I won't even say what my wife said they looked like. )

I agree with your wife about the beans,,,. Enchiladas look lovely though.

Alf Stewart. · 18-12-2016 11:24am

Last nights dinner was home made steak and veg pie, done in a short crust pastry with onion gravy, served with creamy mash on the side, and some sweet garden peas, with garlic butter.

It was a very hearty meal that went down well after a long walk in the cold. Didnt tame pictures as we had company, and I didn't wanna look like they were dining with a lunatic.

Alf Stewart. · 18-12-2016 8:03pm

Today's dinner was my American style beef stew, finished in the slow cooker.

Loads left for tomorrow too.

Result!

What makes a stew American style?
A can of condensed soup?

I follow an American recipe for it, calls for the skins left on the spuds, and there's tomato puree, paprika (as two ingredients not in.an Irish stew)

The end result is a reddish colour with a slight hit of spiciness to it.

It's always a big hit in our house

Dizzyblonde · 18-12-2016 8:43pm

Leg of lamb with a rosemary, garlic, juniper berries and lemon zest rub.

Looks like my stew, lovely stuff. I generally just bang whatever in but always add a bit of spice, love it

Alf Stewart. · 19-12-2016 12:48am

^^^^^

Any time dizzy wants to invite Alf (kids and wife are optional) do dinner I'm totally good with that.

miamee · 19-12-2016 11:43am

Yesterday was a slice of delicious roasted vegetable quiche purchased at the Dun Laoghaire People's Park food market and a heap of sweet potato fries...something quick and easy while we were trying to sort the house out for Christmas, it's been a bit neglected.

pew · 19-12-2016 2:44pm

Made chicken supreme with rice and chilli green beans

Loads left over.

homemadecider · 21-12-2016 1:44pm

Yesterday I made a Vietnamese curry from the Happy Pear cookbook. The recipe used tempeh but I used chicken instead, as I'm not a maniac. The curry was absolutely lovely, gorgeous flavours and very easy to make. The roasted butternut squash was yum.

Tar.Aldarion · 21-12-2016 4:14pm

Mild cheddar/mozzarella, chorizo, guacamole, cashews, shallots - homemade vegan pizza by my friend, so the dairy/meat are alternatives.

Tar.Aldarion · 22-12-2016 1:21pm

Chestnut, sage and mushroom Wellington served with roast rosemary potatoes, roasted carrots, brussels sprouts, seasonal greens, lentil gravy

That looks so so good! Can I be cheeky and ask would you post the recipe or a pic of it?

Here you go! My only change would be to peel the butternut squash - they suggest leaving it on but I firmly disagree.

CHRISTMAS HAM! My husband made this beautiful beast today. He boiled it in ginger beer with lots of oranges, cloves, bay and cinnamon, then baked it with a glaze of maple syrup, mustard, soy sauce & worcestershire sauce.

IT TASTES FRICKIN AWESOME!

It looks amazing. Only that ours isn't long out of the oven I'd try it myself. We go apples with cider, onion, rosemary, cloves, cinnamon and peppercorns.

Then our glaze was Colmans and brown sugar. Still gorgeous but less exotic.

Tar.Aldarion · 24-12-2016 11:39am

The meal was ridiculously good, I'm afraid I can't post the recipe as it was from a cafe, going forward are you meant to post pictures of your dinner if you bought them or not? I'll definitely speficify next time if you can

We like to ogle all dinners, regardless of where they come from

BaZmO* · 27-12-2016 7:32pm

Leftovers.

Ham, stuffing, and roasties mashed with carrots & parsnips cooked in the waffle maker. All with lashings of gravy. Devine.

arian · 27-12-2016 9:32pm

For tea, which seems to be the dinner of this thread

We had Scottish stovies. Our version had cooked onion plus leftovers: sliced mutton, sprouts, carrots, roast potatoes and gravy, layered in the pan.

That makes me want a waffle maker

It's actually a great use for it. It's just a cheap ALDI one we got for making pancakes/waffles for the kid. Works great for making hash? from leftover potatoes and veg too. So easy too.

pew · 28-12-2016 9:02pm

Brussell Sprouts cooked with chilli, garlic and jalapenos, with baby potatoes and chorizo.

Michellenman · 28-12-2016 9:07pm

Donal skehans hearty minestrone soup. Recipe makes looooads so just as well it's nice

Absolutely sick of turkey and ham at this point so this was a welcome change.

Dizzyblonde · 29-12-2016 12:08am

We're sick of turkey and ham too so we had rib eye steaks for dinner tonight with sautéed potatoes, onions and mushrooms and roasted cherry tomatoes. Steak never tasted so good

Alf Stewart. · 29-12-2016 7:12pm

I'm officially out of turkey.

Had a turkey omlette for breakfast.

Had a turkey and potato curry for dinner.

Michellenman · 29-12-2016 8:37pm

Wholemeal Slimbo slice, half a perfectly ripe avocado (:D), slice of smoked salmon and a poached eggs. Two of em.

The other one not pictured was decidedly messier looking

The Hill Billy · 30-12-2016 10:54am

Wednesday night was a very welcome homemade beef & balti.
Last night was chipper after a trip out to the flicks to see Rogue One.

Think we'll be with you on a chipper as we're going to see Rogue one later too

Dizzyblonde · 30-12-2016 5:44pm

I had chipper last night too but no film. Tonight we're having chicken bhuna.

SB_Part2 · 30-12-2016 5:55pm

Probably one of the nicest things I've ever made. Spuntinos bone marrow beef sliders with brioche buns. I made chipotle slaw and crispy onions to go with them.

RasTa · 30-12-2016 7:09pm

What butchers you get the marrow from and what's the recipe

StripedBoxers · 30-12-2016 7:30pm

That looks amazing SB_Part2. How did you make the chipotle slaw? Could you post the recipe and method for it please?

Last night was chicken, cabbage and a baked potato, odd combination but one of the few appealing things to me right now.

SB_Part2 · 30-12-2016 11:31pm

Here's the recipe. I got the bone marrow in The English Market in Cork but my local butchers in Cabra do it as well.

For the chipotle slaw I roughed it. 1/2 cup red cabbage, 1/2 cup white cabbage, 1 carrot, 1 red onion , teaspoon honey, 1/2 cup mayo, 2 chipotle chills, juice of 1 lime.

Mr_Spaceman · 31-12-2016 2:17am

Last night's dinner was salmon fillet and a large vine tomato, both done on the griddle pan.

Served with brown rice (the cheat's two-minute version as I can't be arsed waiting otherwise), runner beans and chilli sauce in a wee packet which came with the salmon. Tasty fayre!

Alf Stewart. · 31-12-2016 6:32pm

Just me and the kids today, so I gave in to their demands of a KFC dinner, but I made it myself

Thighs and drumsticks done with a recipe from a book the wife has called "fakeaway" (or something) she had this one photo copied and stuck to the notice board (she's a vegetarian, so obviously a hint for us)

Anyway. We had chicken, served with pineapple salsa on the side :

(quarter pineapple, length ways, remove core and skin. Dry fry in a pan.for 5'mins or so to get them charred up. Then finely wife it, throw in a bowl complete with juice. Handful of finely chopped mint, finely chopped chilli (leave seeds in if you like a kick) finely diced small red onion, juice of a lime, stir well, then season)

And a bowl of homemade chips.

The chicken and the salsa were a great accompaniment to each other, though I think the next time I make it, I might ease up on the lime juice. (It was just a little bitter on its own)
