Salmon steaks with new potatoes, broccoli, peas and asparagus, a sprig of parsley and a squeeze of lemon.

What did you get up to in the kitchen?

I had tomato soup and toast as it got late after being at the office and then the cat doing a runner!

Tonight was pasta in a tomato & marscaponi sauce with added cherry tomatoes filled by some (shop bought) cheesecake.

I went on an Indonesian cookery course so I had yummy leftovers - chicken kebabs and pickled veg.

Once my better half finished doing her "rust dyeing" experiments, I did a v similar meal.

Salmon steaks, a glug of wine, freshly picked asparagus (allotment) , all thrown into foil parcels and shoved in the oven.
Also separately roasted some cherry toms and courgette.
And boiled some new potatoes, stirred into mayo with lots of lemon zest and crushed garlic.

Fairly successful.

Is banku a bit like a dumpling?

No it's my Tasty Lunch Club day.

 

[presta]

Homemade chilli con carne, one on the plate, two in the freezer.

Spaggy Bol* enough sauce for 6 but the other 4 portions will go into a Lasagne (probably Friday but maybe Saturday)

* I came across a real recipe for a Bolognese sauce a few years back, mince is not involved but you use very finely 'cubed' steak instead, it gives a totally different texture to the sauce and also has no herbs at all in it. Spaggy Bol on the other hand has sliced Mushrooms and mixed Herbs/ Basil in there and is ready after a couple of hours simmering but a proper Bolognese needs about 4 hours for the flavours to develop

Yes, more or less. It's made from corn dough and cassava flour mixed with water in a large pot. Made in quantity and stored so you can reheat any time.
The corn dough is fermented so has a slightly sour taste and helps to preserve it.
