privateer Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Another simple dish is tagliatelle pesto with chicken and bacon. Cut some chicken breast and bacon into strips. Put the chicken in the pan and stir fry it in a bit of olive oil. Put the bacon in a couple of minutes after the chicken. Boil the tagliatelle while the chicken is cooking, it will take about the same length of time to cook both as long as the chicken strips aren't too big! Drain the tagliatelle in a colander but keep a couple of tablespoons of the water (put the colander over the sink to tip the pasta in then put it over the pot you boiled the pasta in to collect the liquid). Add a jar of pesto to the chicken and bacon (green or red pesto, both equally good) and add the couple of tablespoons of saved liquid to the pesto jar. Put the lid back on, give it a quick shake to get the residue out of the bottle (make sure your hold lid firmly) and tip into the pan. Bring the heat up and stir it all up so it all blends together then tip in the pasta. Serve on warm plates. Alternatively, you can put the pasta on the plates and the chicken mix on top - it's a bit easier to control the proportion of pasta:meat that way. It's very adaptable as you can add other things at the frying stage if you are so inclined - sliced onion, mushroom, garlic, very finely sliced celery etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcarpet Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 sausage, mash and beans! awesome dinner. or my personal favourite...cheese and baked bean pizza. Which is as it sounds: 1)get a pizza base from tesco or where ever put a tin of beans on it 2)Allow to cook for 15 mins in the oven 3)spread grated cheese over it and put back in the oven for another 5 mins 4)Serve with a bit of fruity sauce on it.

AVFCLaura Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Go and buy an ASDA fresh MYO pizza, they are the bomb. 2 for 4 of your round British Pounds. Yum... Women don't want a man who cooks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rino8 Posted February 17, 2009 Visiting Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2009 I somewhat foolishly offered to cook for me and the missus tonight. I can just about cook beans of toast but that's about it. Oh and I can boil an egg. Any ideas?Egg on toast then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morkery Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Gordon Ramsey's chilli con carne recipe is pretty good and very easy. Takes me about forty mins to do because I'm the slowest chopper and I can't stand the smell of mince beef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted February 17, 2009 Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2009 Go and buy Jamie Oliver's latest book Cooking will then become a piece of piss Or how about home made burgers? Seriously not as shit as it sounds 250g pork mince plus 250g beef mince fresh flat leaf parsley finely chopped 1 medium onion chopped 3 or 4 cloves of garlic finely chopped 8 cream crackers 1 medium egg salt & pepper Get cream crackers and mash them to a pulp inside a freezer bag with a rolling pin then add meat to a mixing bowl add the parsley, the garlic, the salt and pepper to taste and mix it all together with you hands then add the cream crackers and the egg (this is the binding agent) and mix that in too once fully mixed divide into 4 burger shaped pieces, place inside a freezer bag and leave to cool in the fridge for an hour or so When ready to cook, cook them in the oven on about 180 degrees for about half an hour, flipping them once Serve in sesame seed buns, with a slice of cheese on top and a bit of salad on the side (for the salad but a ready done bag and add some tomatoes (cherry sliced in half) and a red / yellow pepper again slice Buy some salad dressing (Caesar is good for girls, they like that shit for some reason) Its a piece of piss, its home made and you can't go wrong. Its also not pretentious and its healthy to a degree too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stratford_villa Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Just follow one of Gordon Ramsey's Dishes from the Cook-along live shows (all on the C4 website), most of which are a piece of piss.

BOF Posted February 19, 2009 Moderator Share Posted February 19, 2009 Inspired by the curry thread and Rob's assertion that "99.9%" of the time he makes his own (curry) sauces, I've come back to this thread to ask how people make a curry sauce from scratch. Please give me instructions as I've never made my own before. I'd like to be able and the hotter the better. To me it just seems like too much work and requires pre-planning. Something I rarely do as I usually decide an hour beforehand what I want for dinner that day. Right, go for it. I promise to try out any I find intriguing (and not too labour or time-intensive).
