Beef borguignon (one of OH speciality) takes hours to cook.with broccoli (no carrots). Probably more apple with blueberries and 4 raspberries ( last in garden)
That soup sounds fantastic. I'm a great fan of soup - perfect on a miserable winter's day, so I'll definitely give that one a go.
Tonight it's roast chicken with sausagemeat, onion and parsley stuffing, with lots of veg. (For me, the plus side of winter is the arrival of Brussels sprouts! I know - sad or what? but I really do love them!)
Dessert is Millionaire's Chocolate Tart - recipe in the supplement from the latest Good Food magazine, so don't know what it will be like. We had expected visitors - but they were unable to come at the last minute. I had planned to make this - so I've done it anyway, and will slice and freeze it after we've tested it! (We only have desserts on a Sunday - not actually a great pudding lover. And I suspect this will be far too sweet for me, especially since I'm not that keen on chocolate to begin with - I'd rather have cheese and biscuits)
Chocolate tart: OH and son loved it. I thought it over-sweet and a bit sickly. But then it was never likely to be much favoured by my less-than-sweet tooth. Worth the effort, though, when entertaining, methinks.
chilli jam is just amazing I made 5 small jars it wont last long We had it on our bacon rolls at lunch time. We had it with pakora and then on wraps with chicken greek yoghurt and salad it is so yummy
Artjak Pakora is Indian finger food, I know because wondering myself I looked it up and found lots of recipes for it. We live and learn. Yesterday I cooked a ham for today, it would have been ham Chips and peas but Daughter arrived with a large corn-beef and potato pie so change of menu. We had ham and tomato sandwiches for lunch and the rest will go into the pea and ham soup tomorrow with the lovely stock I got from cooking the ham. She also brought a soft chocolate cake saying warm it and have it with custard, that is tonight taken care off then. Chris, if you can get ham shank where you live (they almost give them away here) use that as a base for soup stock, soak them overnight to get the salt out, leek and potato, pea and ham, or even mulligatawny that is the one spiced with curry, very warming in the winter with crusty bread. Frank.
Our tea tonight will be leftovers from Sunday dinner.
Cold roast pork, fried potatoes and swede and carrots mashed together with butter and plenty of black pepper, gravy and apple sauce.
Frank. Yes we can get ham shanks or hocks as we call them here. I sometimes buy one and we have the meat cold and use the rest for soup along with the stock I cook it in. Makes lovely pea and ham soup. Will try leek and potato again, haven't had it for a while. I sometimes add a small chilli to my soups, just to give a bit of heat, it makes a change. Thanks for reminding me
we are having pasta chicken, chicken chopped up ina creamy cheese pasta sauce with assorted veggies. Can't remember whats in fridge, and for heat one of the chilles. Afters will be rest of blueberry and apple from yesterday.
