Cooking Tonight #5

[Florence Fennel]

Were having the chicken dippers again as we really enjoyed them. My salad will be very sneaky, so I doubt Himself will touch it - more for me

We ended up having sausage and saffron risotto last night. If in doubt and out of time, it's risotto here.

Roast chicken and veg tonight.

...and mostly just one pan to wash up. Win, win.

I've always thought cauliflower cheese was fiddly to make, but you are right, Snoop, it's actually the amount of washing up it makes that really puts me off. At a minimum, a pan for the cauli, a pan for the sauce, a cheese grater and a dish to serve it in, all for one vegetable.

Don't bother grating the cheese, just cut it into slices or fingers with a knife. It'll dissolve slightly more slowly, but it doesn't make any other difference.

Not sure at the moment- probably roasted chicken thighs served with cabbage and something else.

I’ve got a ‘trifle’ for pud

Never tried it, but you can freeze cheese sauce- might it be worth batch cooking some to save the bother of all the washing up another time? Or at least grating then freezing some cheese so you can grab handfuls when needed.
Just a thought

...and mostly just one pan to wash up. Win, win.

Absolutely. From looking for an onion to food on a plate, less than twenty mins with a pressure cooker. In fact, I reckon nearer to quarter of an hour yesterday, as I released the pressure a bit early because I was too hungry to wait!

[Nicos]

Complete change of plan!
Well…what did I expect when OH went shopping?

Fish and chips tonight. Good job I have a tin of mushy peas to go with it!
