I really didnt want to get involved in your 'debate' but I have to say either I'm a greedy pig or you're seriously underestimating on your portion control there, Si. My chilli recipe for 4 people would use 500g mince, a large tin of chopped tomatoes and a whole tin/carton of kidney beans

[L19red]

Aborio Rice 33p last time i bought it in england was 3.20 for a very small box from the CoOp

The Wine i cook with costs atleast 8 pounds

as for stock you have to buy a box which for some good stock i recomend Knoir thats about 1.90

Parmazan 37p ???? Jeez thats cheap must be that stuff in a tub that smelle like sick

Onion i used to spend about 40p on, Seriously this guy must shop at the cheapest place on the planet. Ive a Romanian lad sat next to me amazed by these prices haha.

Just done this for tea:

 

Butternut Squash and Spinach curry

 

You will need:-

450 g Butternut Squash peeled and diced

150 g fresh spinach leaves

200 g canned tomatoes chopped

1/2 tsp tomato puree

1 medium onion finely chopped

2-3 cloves garlic minced

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp whole cumin seeds

1/2 tsp ginger minced

1 tsp red chilli powder

1/2 tsp ground turmeric

1/4 tsp garam masala

1 tsp ground cumin and coriander seeds

salt to taste

 

Method:-

In a heavy bottom pan heat oil, fry the onion till softened.

Add garlic and cumin seeds fry till cumin changes into brown colour.

Add ginger and turmeric powder , red chilli powder, garam masala and ground cumin and coriander powder.

Fry the masala few seconds, add chopped tomatoes and tomato puree, season with salt.

Now add butternut squash and 150 ml water. Mix well.

Cover with lid and simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add little water if necessary.

Stir in the spinach shortly before serving the curry. Adjust the seasoning and serve with Roti, Naan or Paratha.

 

Fantastic and super easy. Great website that loads on for curry heads and vegetarians

I want to make some warm beetroot and feta salad,but I'm after freezing some for quick meals after work.Anyone got any ideas on the best way to do it?.

I have bought it frozen before but would rather do my own.

 

I'm think if just par boiling the beetroot and adding any nuts/seeds etc

Not sure wether to add the feta then and pack it up for freezing or wether to leave it out and add it in before roasting

[Lurtz]

Quick chicken idea:

 

Chop up a couple of chicken breasts into biggish chunks.

 

Make some breadcrumbs with a blender, mix with lots of chilli flakes and paprika.

 

Coat chicken in flour, then egg, then the breadcrumb mixture.

 

Spray the chunks with fry-light and cook them in the oven at a temperature of some degrees for some minutes.

 

Serve with sweet potato fries and dip them in reggae reggae sauce or something similar.

 

Healthy, tasty as fuck and dead easy.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Sounds nice that Redders.

 

Anyone have any suggestions for healthy packed lunches for me?

 

I am trying to cut down on the bread I eat so no sandwiches. I've been doing couscous with some salad stuff in a fair bit which has been nice but getting a bit samey.

Could use tortillas to make wraps instead of butties?

Try chicken breasts, marinated in whatever spices & citrus you fancy, roll bacon round them with the fat chopped off the bacon, perfect for cooking on your George Foreman if you have one. Cool in the fridge then shred into bits, have with salad. Have a go on some quinoa instead of couscous. I much prefer it and you can season & flavour it with a bit of stock or whatever whilst you cook it.

[Paulie Dangerously]

I'll have a look for quinoa in my local supermarket as there is a large "ethnic" foods section. It's difficult for me because I fucking love sandwiches and don't think there's a savoury food that can't be improved by the application of 2 slices of buttered bread either side of it

[RedKnight]

I've made a risotto with quinoa. It's easy to find in any supermarket.

[celeryBADboy]

Whats Quinoa ive yet to hear of it.

[TheHowieLama]

Its a seed.

[Trumo]

Whats Quinoa ive yet to hear of it.

 

It's pronounced 'keenwa' so you might have heard of it.

 

Its a seed.

 

I've eaten it before though I've never made it myself. I thought it was a bit like cous-cous but slightly crunchier. That might be down to how it was made though.

[TheHowieLama]

Yeah thats it - tons of little seeds. It is okay - not really my favorite but a good change of pace from rice/cous/grains.

Said the 'trained chef'.

[Karl_b]

Quinoa's bad, mmkay.

 

As for healthy dinners (mid-day meals, obviously), what we do is cook double (i.e. 4 portions rather than 2) of our meals every night and have the leftovers the next day. Works out cheaper and easier than making specific dinners everyday.

[Paulie Dangerously]

This was my tea and it was fucking wonderful considering it was a left-over-in-veg-tray dish.

 

2 x chicken legs (or 4 drumsticks etc)

5 x new potatos

2 x carrots

1 x parsnip

2 x whole beetroots (not pickled)

10 x whole mushrooms

6 x cloves of Smoked Garlic (normal if you've got none smoked, but if you have none, why not?)

Smoked Paprika

Rosemary

Oregano

 

Sprinkle the Chicken skin with oregano and smoked paprika, salt and pepper, put to one side. Half the spuds, cut the carrot and parsnip into similar sized pieces and par-boil them for 5 minutes.

 

Whilst they are in the pan get a deep oven tray and spray with oil, put your garlic cloves in, do not peel them, just put them in, add the mushrooms cap down. Quarter your beetroot and put them in as well. Drain the veg, add to tray, spray with oil add some rosemary, more paprika and salt, mix well with spatulas then put the chicken legs on top of the lot.

 

Cover with foil and put into middle of pre heated oven gas mark 6 for 25 minutes. Take out, mix veg up and remove tin foil, do for another 20 minutes or until chicken is done.

 

Put everything onto plates and add tiny bit of boiling kettle water to the tray to get all the oils and juices out and pour over the veg bit. Enjoy with a beer

Made a Beautifull sauce the other day id definately recommend this

 

90g Butter 90g Flour 90ml milk

3 Bronoise Bacon slices

Half a parsnip Brunoise

half a Onion Brunoise

1 TBS Roast Lamb Juice

3 Cloves of garlic

 

In one pan melt a knob of butter and Sweat your Onions, Parsnip and Garlic then cook your Bacon to real crisp texture then add your milk bring to the boil then let cool down, In the other pan make a Roux, (Melt the 90g butter, dont let it colour. Add the 90g Flour to the pan. Now im not one for cheating but through time its becom custopm with a bechamel sauce. whisk the Roux with a Plastic whisk thats cheating but never mind you want to cook the flour out for about 5 mins continuously whisking or it wont be very nice. when it is cooked out add the milk that you have from the pan bit by bit. Use a Sieve. and Whist till smoth creamy texture if to thick add more. Then add Lamb juice bit by bit to taste then Transfer to a blender add the remains of both Pans and Blitz Season to taste.

 

This goes lovely with yes you guessed it Lamb.

[Remmie]

Mentioned it on another thread but really deserves repeating. If making an omelette, try dabbing mustard and pesto on the potatoes/other fillings, black olives also make an exceptional filling.

That must be the thickest most cloying sauce in the world.....well second to my nans gravy but there wouldn't be much in it.

 

Oh and you know if you're writing a recipe that 'brunoise' isn't an ingredient so their's no such thing as brunoise Bacon, Parsnip or Onion. That and it's a completely pointless exercise if you're going to blend everything.
