What to have for tea tonight??

[jb190281]

Good afternoon all, hope you are all keeping well on this fine day!

Just a general wondering whilst Im on my lunch - what shall I make for tonights dinner - either something with minced beef (lasagne or sheps pie are all a bit boring so please, more suggestions) or chicken (a bit more exciting than just a roast)

Im sure you can all tell that Im bored at work...

Hi jb - know exactly how you feel. I'm undecided between toad in the hole or liver & bacon. Any preference?

[jb190281]

that is a really difficult choice lardhelmet, i feel your pain. id probably sway towards liver and bacon (esp if youre gonna do mash potato and cabbage!)

[lardhelmet]

Well close jb - mash with onion gravy & spinach

[jb190281]

to end my dilemma, can i come over to yours lard?!

[lardhelmet]

No problem - I'll just have to peel a few more spuds!

I am thinking similar to angel 12 - burrito or enchilada (not sure what is the difference is exactly) but either chicken or mince mixed with spices, peppers onions etc. Then rolled up in flour tortillas then drizzle some salsa, sour cream and cheese over and pop in the oven

fajitas or make mini meatballs and have them stuffed in pitts pockets with salad and coleslaw/dips/mayo

How about Bobotie:

Ingredients:
1lb minced beef
1 or 2 slices bread
2 ozs sultanas
4 ozs unsalted cashew nuts
2 teaspoons wine vinegar
1/4 pint milk
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon mixed herbs
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 beaten size 2 eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Soak the bread in the milk for 15 minutes and squeeze, reserving the milk afterwards. Chop the onions and garlic and fry in the butter until soft. Remove from the heat. Add the bread, sultanas, cashew nuts, beef, vinegar , sugar, salt and pepper, herbs, curry powder, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of the beaten egg. Mix well. Spread in an oven proof dish (a loaf tin is best.) Mix the remaining egg to the reserved milk and pour over the the mixture in the loaf tin. Bake in a moderate oven (Gas 4, 350F, 180C) for 1 to 11/2 hours, until a skewer comes out cleanly. Serve slices hot or cold, with yellow rice and apricot blatjang and salad or with crusty French bread and a green salad.

[lardhelmet]
