peterms Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Found some reduced price haddock in the shop, £2.50 for two of us. Home grown potatoes, steamed. Bits and pieces of veg, some home grown, some not, stir-fried with a touch of lime and chilli. Hollandaise sauce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 New chocolate flavours! Picked up a normal and a hazelnut from galaxy's dark collection and I'm unimpressed Also picked up the 3 new Cadburys flavours, raspberry shortbread, orange and something and latte, only tried the raspberry and it's ok but trying to hard, they can't beat the original, whole nut, fruit and nut and caramel (same with all these Cadbury creations craft have added, must be easier than new bars) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) shakshouka has become my go to comfort food, quick easy to make and easy to bastardise the recipe based on what you've got in the fridge last night was red pepper and courgette then some spiced sausage, then the tomatoes, then cumin, paprika, garlic, salt, pepper, 4 eggs in the middle, served on day old crusty brown bread you can change the veg (its usually onions but my missus doesn't eat them) change the meat, tweak the spices, do what you want, you pretty much just need tomatoes eggs cumin and garlic, eat it for breakfast or dinner Edited August 9, 2019 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterms Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Just done a lasagne to use up a glut of courgettes and various odds and ends lying in the fridge. Sauteed the courgettes with garlic and a couple of leeks that were well past their best but the inner parts were fine, added some ricotta and several small bits of leftover hard cheese to make it thick and creamy. Did a spicy tomato sauce and threw in some leftover Bravas sauce and half a red pepper, layered the two sauces with lasagne, finishing with the tomato sauce, and topped with more ricotta and some blitzed parmesan rinds (need a tough blender to blitz them to powder, they're rock hard - another way to use them if your blender isn't heavy duty is to add them to soup to give it more body and flavour). Really tasty, plus Brownie points for avoiding food waste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Ha! Just did something similar, made a sort of vegetable bolognese to use up courgettes we'd picked. Except mine was slightly less successful, but not through my fault. I've been using Waitrose tomato or pasata or bolgnese sauce as a base and it's been fine. The ingredients, unsurprisingly, were tomatoes. But my local Waitrose closed down a little while ago and I've used up all my stock. So I picked up a pot of Asda Bolognese sauce. Hey, if you love the overpowering taste of salt and sugar, you'll **** love Asda bolognese sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Those courgettes are growing quicker than we can eat them. Will try stuffing the flowers - always wanted to do that but never got round to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
