what's for dinner tonight?

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

when I'm broke I cook tuna and rice. I cook a can of tuna with some onions, tomatoes and pepper and add it to the rice.

Or Sardines on toast. These are both cheap and taste nice

[Asset]

daal and rice

[Keef]

Get a wok, get everything you have left, chuck it in, add as many spices as you can find... Usually comes out nice... If not, cover in ketchup and eat it anyway. :-S

[Brendan]

Fry some onion, garlic and chili (if you like). Bung in a tin of tomatoes add some basil, oregano, salt to taste. Cook for about 15mins. Serve over pasta.

Serves 2 costs about ?1. Healthy and tasty.

[mockney piers]

Instead of the salt, add a rasher or two of bacon, adds the salt and a bit of extra flavour...hmmmmm.

And for veggies, try adding bacon, it's not really meat is it.

[Keef]

LOL!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Thanks chaps.

[PeckhamRose]

We're trying to eat less red meat also, so fish and chicken is main thing.

PASTA TUNA THING

This evening found a recipe in an old Dairy Diary Recipe Book and here it is with my additions. Drink some gin and tonic. Then - fry an onion - pour half pint of veg stock in and enough peas and/or sweetcorn for 4 people in the pan, have another swig of gin and some chocolate maybe, then bung a tablespoon of cornflour mixed with half pint of milk and bung it all in the same pan with a small can of drained tuna. Drink gin. Heat and Stir the whole lot well till thick and creamy. Then bung in the now cooked pasta which you had put on at the beginning of the exercise to cook for 10 or so minutes. Stir the whole lot and it makes enough for about 3 or four, top with grated cheese. I thank you. Hic.

just about to settle down to a pancake roll,fried king prawns with salt and chilli,crispy shredded beef in chilli sauce and fried rice,with the obligatory prawn crackers all washed down with an ice cold peroni, hard to beat the weekly chinese.

[Annasfield]

Spadetownboy - Cripsy shredded chilli beef is the best thing since sliced bread. My parents always used to order it, which is why I like it now. Thought we were the only ones......

Liquid dinner for me tonight - vodka, lime and soda :-$ whoops!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Nope - count me in on the CSCB as well

[Annasfield]

Mmmmm - now I have post alochol hunger. Who started this thread?!

Ever wondered exactly what we did with bread before we figured out that it was a good idea to slice it.

There's a new cook book out for all us Commies on the board:

Axis of Evil Cookbook

[SeanMacGabhann]

nicely combining 2 threads in one blinder - good work!

[katietatie]

Any ideas what to do with a celeriac? I just got one in my veg box and have no clue....

[mockney piers]

I've had lots of celeriac mash, which is nice. No idea how to make it though, but this off the beeb

Simmer the potatoes and celeriac in a large pan of boiling salted water for about 12 minutes until tender. Drain and return to the pan, covered, to dry them out.

n a small pan, gently heat the milk, add the onions and cook until softened. Mash the potatoes and celeriac with the milk and onions. Season to taste.

[SeanMacGabhann]

tonight is Goulash night - usual meat/onions/peppers/paprika job but with extra smoky paprika and me being me something with an extra kick as well

Gotta be creamy mash with that

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

This one made me laugh From the Axis of Evil extract.

Tongue of the judge

This recipe doesn't really involve a judge's tongue. That would be disgusting and illegal.

2 large aubergines

450g minced lamb or beef

2 onions

2 tomatoes, chopped

3 tablespoons tomato puree

1 teaspoon turmeric

First make the sauce: saute one chopped onion, add the tomatoes, tomato puree and turmeric. Add a mugful of water, then season and simmer for 20 minutes or so. Remove the stalks and bottoms from the aubergines and then cut them lengthwise into slices about a quarter of an inch thick. Fry the slices quickly in hot oil so they are browned but not too soggy.

Set them aside and make the stuffing by mixing the minced meat and the other chopped onion. Season and form into little sausages. Roll each of the sausages up in an aubergine slice and lay on a baking dish. Pour the tomato sauce over the top and put the dish in a medium hot oven for 40 minutes.

Mmmh - Thursday night is curry and beer chez UC - chicken sagwala for me i fink - mmmh

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

It was actually last night but wow! Day before pay day is usually grim but my lovely neighbour presented me with two fat bunches of asparagus yesterday. Wrapped in ham with cheese sauce. Delicious - I like neighbours. What shall I do with the other bunch tonight?

[ed_pete]

You should be ashamed of yourself - blatently out of season and therefore air feighted from somewhere in the southern hemisphere no doubt.

[Horsebox]

Probably home made meatballs cooked in my incredibly tasty 3 hour tomato sauce with some form of pasta and parmigiana and a nice chianti.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Dear ed_pete - beggars can't be choosers. I was truly grateful and don't give a stuff. Since I never fly anywhere myself I'll take one bunch of asparagus and offset it against not flying for 27 years. Is your carbon footprint that good?

[Annasfield]

Lager no doubt....
