Tonight I cooked...

[Reynard]

A rather naughty supper of a cheese & onion toastie and triple-cooked (beef dripping) chips.

 

[presta]

Biryani.

Slow cooked ragu became lasagne

Today was just about fuelling up to try to make sure I maintain two meals a day, no snacks, no top ups.
So lunch was sirloin steak, a baked.potato and broccoli with a healthy portion of Greek yoghurt and blueberries
This evening (5.30) was lamb chops, mashed potato, cauliflower and a bit of broccoli, then some rolled oats with milk (that was a bit odd but its a slow burn food that will hopefully carry me over)

Nothing now (hopefully) till midday tomorrow, only water, no tea, coffee or fizzy drinks.

Beef mince & onion and mash.. 👍

 

[mistyoptic]

Slow roast leg of lamb, tray roasted mixed veg (potato, cauliflower, parsnip, carrot, squash, beetroot) and some tenderstem on the side.

lamb sandwiches, pie and risotto over the next few days/weeks

 

[Reynard]

Sausage & bean casserole with wholegrain cous cous.

I made this yesterday for consumption today after a roast lamb dinner.

This is (a take on) a Polish cake called Karpatka. It is named for the Carpathian Mountains which it supposedly resembles.

It is essentially two rounds of choux pastry sandwiching a crème mousseline, with a cherry compôte layered in the middle, all dusted with icing sugar ‘snow’. The inclusion of a compôte is apparently not traditional but does work well with the vanilla crème.

It’s a bit of effort but definitely worth it!

Should really be a cheesecake or a mazurek for Easter, btw...

But as that looks absolutely divine, I'll let you off! And if you want to be *really* traditional, use plum butter (powidła).

A lazy day here today, but last night, I did roast topside of beef, a jacket potato and red cabbage braised with apple & orange.

Just going to have a roast beef sandwich and some pear & almond crumble this evening.

 

[Animo]

Slow roast shoulder of lamb. Some of the most tender meat I've ever cooked. A very nice joint from the local farm shop, bone in. The fat had just melted into it leaving buttery soft meat.

 

[mistyoptic]

Duck with sticky tamarind vegetables and noodles 😋

 

[PeteXXX]

Family round for an Easter Egg hunt followed by Cheese Soufflé & rice with pancakes for pud 😋

 

[Reynard]

Eggs foo yung and rice.

Used half of the bag of stir fry veggies that I picked up on YS the other day and half a block of tofu to go with the eggs. Sauce for the eggs made from scratch too, although subbed the required fish sauce for worcestershire sauce. Which is still fish sauce anyway LOL.

This afternoon, I made soup. Just the thing on the warmest day so far…

Celeriac with Green Herbs and Lime (Covent Garden recipe)

It’s very Thai in style, coriander, lime, ginger, coconut with a green chilli.

Nice big celeriac means I have ten portions to freeze 😀
