Cooking Tonight #5

[greenishfing]

I'm going to make a curry in the slow cooker today. Chicken and butternut squash I think. I'll have it with naan. Extra for the freezer.

I couldn't wait any longer. Even with the kitchen door closed most of the time, the aroma has been driving me mad and whetting my appetite. I have had a "few" teaspoonfuls earlier, just to check it was okay.

It was absolutely wonderful. The taste lived up to the smell. Shall I put the other half in the freezer or just keep it in the fridge for tomorrow?

Keep it in the fridge overnight GF - decide tomorrow

I was going to try Mangelwurzel dauphinois with a rather aged Mangelwurzel I'd forgotten to harvest.
However it was too woody by now (unsurprisingly), so cheese and tomato toastie it is.

Asparagus and ricotta quiche with a side salad using the first of our outdoor grown lettuce( under fleece)
Going to try a crushed new potato base instead of pastry for a change…anyone tried that?

No, never tried that, Nicos. Let us know how it goes. Can you do this with older potatoes too?

I don’t see why not.
Having said that, I’m glad the base was blind baked before the filling was added…it gave it more texture . TBH, next time I’d add a more tasty filling like sausage or bacon as the spuds were a bit bland for my liking.

Tonight depends just how late home OH is, might be a sandwich.

[Snoop Puss]

Meera Sodha aubergine and chickpea bake. Kiwis for afters.

I've just put the rest of the curry in the freezer for another day.

Tonight I think eggs in purgatory with garlic bread and a small side salad. (It really doesn't feel like salad weather).

[Florence Fennel]

Roast Pork, sage and onion stuffing, roast potatoes and carrots, cauliflower and broccoli cheese and Yorkshire pudding with onion gravy. If that doesn't whet Himself's appetite, I don't know what will

[Snoop Puss]

^Fingers crossed for you, Flo. That's a lot of effort to go through if he doesn't fancy it. All that said, Mr Snoop would turn the pork into a sandwich and have the rest on the side.

It's certainly whetting my appetite.

Bubble and squeak for breakfast anyone?

[Nicos]

We had wild mushroom rissotto followed by stewed fruit and yog.

[Containergardener]

We had sausage and salad rolls.

Might be similar tonight
