Cooking Tonight #5

[Nicos]

Pasta with a squash based sauce.

[Mark Rand]

Tonight was shepherd's pie, made with minced left over roast lamb from last Sunday. Tomorrow will be a beef stew.

[MelanieSW]

Dinner was stir fried squash leaves for starters (my Italian allotment neighbour convinced me to give it a go), followed by tomato soup & croutons

Very nice actually, he gave me a pile of young shoots, I stir fried them with garlic and chilli for a few mins, then piled on bread. Just nice and tender.

Stewing steak and kidney hash. Lots of carrots, celery, potatoes, beans, sprouts, cauliflower and butter beans in it!
The butcher didn't have lamb's kidney so its pig's - don't think I've ever had that before.

I've just made suet (autotext converted suet to diet - haha) dumplings

[Snoop Puss]

Greek green bean stew with added giant butter beans (I've just measured one - 4 cm long) and 'hanging tomatoes' rather than tinned, made in the pressure cooker with less olive oil than this recipe: https://athenapot.com/instant-pot-gr...olakia-ladera/

I'm hoping we'll have yogurt with banana and a drizzle of honey for pud. If not, it'll be ice cream.

[Bren In Pots]

Yesterday Veg burgers, mixed lettuce, toms, cucumber, homemade coleslaw and a few chips.

Panini pizza this evening.

Chicken breast, probably Justa. Apple pie in progress.

I didn't grow the beans myself, sadly. I've given up growing any kind of bean other than dwarf French beans. Too hot and windy here for anything else. But beans are a big thing in Spain and I've found a few great online suppliers.

Endive, pear and blue cheese salad, gigandes plaki with the rest of the giant beans.
