Cooking Tonight #5

[Snoop Puss]

Lentil soup. Sounds very plain, but this is one of my favourite suppers at this time of year.

[Bren In Pots]

Mushroom stir fry with rice this evening.

[greenishfing]

A full fridge again.

Tonight corned beef crispbakes, corn on the cob, spicy couscous salad and ratatouille.

Apple and blueberry crumble with custard or cream.

[Snoop Puss]

Fake paella (sausage, courgette, asparagus, artichoke hearts and butter beans), which would locally be known as arroz con cosas (rice with things).

[Jay22]

Lasagne and garlic bread tonight!

Snoop, I make what I call poor mans Paella using chicken etc but that’s a nicer way of saying it. Going to adopt that if that’s ok!😀

[Snoop Puss]

^Do you mean 'arroz con cosas'? If so, that's a common term here, so you wouldn't be borrowing it from me, you'd be using a term well loved by most of Spain, I imagine. Most 'paella' dishes here are not described as 'paella' but as 'arroz con' whatever. If Jamie Oliver had called his dish arroz con pollo y chorizo (rice with chicken and chorizo), he wouldn't have been laughed at at all in Spain, as it's a really common rice dish here. It's just not paella. He really was mocked here for that and still occasionally gets a mention as being an idiot...

Let's you and me start popularising arroz con or rice with.

We're having chicken otto tonight. That's chicken risotto without the rice.

Chicken the Eighth. Tastier than Henry, doubtless.

[greenishfing]

We're going to have salmon and assorted veg risotto tonight I think.

Leftover apple and blueberry crumble and cream.

[Bren In Pots]

Haddock with butter beans in a tomato sauce.

[Containergardener]

Using up some chicken thighs, think a sort of chicken chilli with new potatoes and salad.

I like that rice saying too. Definitely something I make constantly.

[Florence Fennel]

Hash was comfort food yesterday
Himself has requested the boring sandwich today, so I'll have sooop I think. I've also got some more of the coconut and raspberry tart so with custard that will be my comfort today!

[Snoop Puss]

Pea risotto with courgette fritters. Mandarines for afters.

[Nicos]

Last night was chilli con carne and tonight ( being my burpday…shhhhh…) OH has decided to make a monkfish and scallop dish for me with mashed spuds and celeriac and broccoli.
The last frozen Princess torte we bought from IKEA for pud. If it’s just as lovely as the previous one bought and froze at the same time….then no doubt it’ll all go
