Cooking Tonight #5

[greenishfing]

Kippers! Yes! At one point in my life, I lived in the Isle of Man and sent Manx kippers to my mother regularly.

[Nicos]

Yes Snoop…up to 20 kg!

That should keep you in kippers for a while

Brilliant, thanks Nicos.

I used to order Craster kippers online for delivery to me here in Spain. But not possible nowadays, sadly.

I think I'll make a cottage pie for tonight to have with french beans and broccoli.

Mince pie and cream.

Mr GF has already put in a request for takeaway fish and chips for one evening this week. I'm not arguing.

[Bren In Pots]

Cod, butterbean and tomato stew.

[Florence Fennel]

We're having Cottage Pie too, but with carrots and Savoy cabbage.

[Snoop Puss]

Salad with breaded hake and lemon rice.

Edited to say: love the sound of yours, Bren. Unfortunately, or stupidly, I bought a lot of salad items on a warm day and am now stuck with them. But cod and butterbeans are on the list for early next week. Maybe with a dollop or two of alioli.

[greenishfing]

Snoop, I could live on mountains of crusty bread and alioli......drool, drool.

[Bren In Pots]

I’d not heard of alioli found some recipes on line, it does seem similar to garlic mayo unless I’ve found rubbish info.
Can you point me in the right direction Snoop.

Chilli con carne with rice.
Stewed apple and ice cream.

Garlic mayonnaise it is, Bren. Made without egg in Catalonia, with elsewhere. There's a piece with a recipe here, but I'm guessing you can buy it ready-made in the UK or cheat and just add a bit of crushed garlic and lemon juice to mayonnaise from a jar.

Thanks Snoop.

I might add that I love alioli but have only come across one commercial variety in England in a yellow tub, and it would have put me off for life, if I hadn't already tasted lots of proper alioli and known it was utter crap.

Either make your own from scratch or make it with garlic ,lemon, and decent quality mayonnaise.

It was a fry-up tonight:- Bratwurst, egg, onions, chips and fried baked beans (best way to do them).
