Lamb Chops with Roasted Vegetables
Tonight we had planned to make lamb kofta, but the lamb mince that we’d bought on Saturday had not lasted well so we bought some lamb chops at the last minute. We seasoned the lamb chops with salt and garlic and pan-fried them, then sprinkled them with parsely and a squeeze of lemon juice. We […]
Read More..>>Rabbit with Garlic
Today, we cooked rabbit. It’s been on our “Things To Cook Soon” list for a while and yesterday, we found some in Selfridges Food Hall. The recipe was from Fergus Henderson’s “Nose To Tail Eating”, a book we’ve had for a while but not cooked from. It was quite a simple recipe, brown the rabbit […]

We had an interesting trip to the butcher last week, we needed some beef mince to make something or other so the nice butcher man (who we think is called Paul though we are yet to confirm this) weighed it out and got on with finding the other things we needed. When he came to […]
Read More..>>Mussels
We’ve been meaning to make this for ages but, for some reason, haven’t got round to it. I’m glad we finally did though because it was really tasty and so simple. Fry onions (or shallots) in some butter, add the mussels with some wine and garlic. Cook for about four minutes. Remove mussels, turn up […]

This started off in our heads as a casserole but, somewhere along the line, became a pie, and a tasty pie at that. We started off by browning the chicken and removing it from the pan, next we softened some onion, garlic, celery and carrot. Then we threw in the mushrooms (chestnut, white and another […]

We cooked this last night. Really simple, really quick and really tasty. Sliced pork fillet with onions, paprika, parsely and soured cream. We served it with rice and waiting for the rice to cook was the longest wait. We’ll definitely be exploring many variations on this theme in the near future. F

Friday night….good TV, fine wine and homemade pizza. Like last time, we made this with the (alledged) Pizza Express recipe. I think we’ll have to find a new recipe though, this one doesn’t behave all that well. Neither of us are that experienced with dough though so it could just be our lack of understanding. […]

Read More..>>Pork Chops
Contining our quest to cook the perfect pork chops and to eat healthily, we chose pork chops for dinner this evening. We did them with the same rub we used last time: garlic, salt, rosemary and bay. We pan fried them slowly as they were really big and served them with mashed sweet potato, green […]

Mmmm, hummus. It’s one of my favourite things and something I only discovered about a year ago. These days, I get a bit nervous if I don’t have any in the fridge. I like Sainsbury’s Organic the best. And I like it with celery, pitta, crusty bread or crisps. I eat it most nights when […]
