Ok I've just put liver for DP, I hate the stuff, he likes liver and onions do I just slice them both into strips and fry together? What sort of seasoning? Does it come with gravy.....I've literally never cooked it before, I hate the smell but I got it free so want to use it and he dislikes pork

I fry mine off in flour then I put it in the slow cooker with bacon and onions and mushrooms and cook it for ages!

Makes it taste lovely as it goes so soft and melts in the mouth!

Even my son loves it!

Here's my mealplan for the week (all subject to change as things are a bit up in the air):

Mon - Minced Beef & Onion Pie with Mash and Green Veggies
Tues - Black Bean Chicken with Noodles
Weds - Not Sure
Thurs - Chilli con Carne with Sauteed Potatoes
Fri - Homemade Baguette Pizzas
Sat - Jambalaya
Sun - Lamb Navarin - recipe here : http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/navarinoflamb_91968

Lunches are sandwiches or leftovers, and there are some bits of cake left as well as some mocha pot (mousse-type things) I've made which are in the freezer. I finally found a use for all the Gu ramekins I had in the cupboard! Whoo!

Have a good week, everyone.

I will be back on here more regularly to get your input and see all your ideas thanks guys, life has certainly changed since having our little boy, but i really feel we need to menu plan and budget again and it will help me start planning his food for a couple of months time.

Hi CupOfChai

Finally turned the computer on at home so here is the recipe...

Delectable Chicken with Broccoli

Serves 4:

1lb fresh broccoli; 1lb chicken breast or chicken thighs; groundnut oil; 3 tablespoons chopped garlic; 1 small onion sliced; 2 tablespoons chinese cooking wine (or dry sherry); 3 tablespoons water; 8oz tomatoes, quartered; 3 tbalespoons oyster sauce; 2 tablespoons fish sauce; 1 tsp sugar; pinch salt; 1/2 tsp ground black pepper; 2 tsp sesame oil; for the marinade: 1/2 tsp black pepper; 1 tablespoon fish sauce; 1 tsp light soy sauce; cornflour for dusting.

Divide broccoli into florets, cut chicken into 1 inch pieces and combine with marinade ingredients (except cornflour) - leave to marinate for 30 mins. Dust pieces with cornflour shaking off excess. Heat 1 tblsp oil in a wok and fry chicken to seal (3-4 mins) - remove and put to one side. Add another tblsp oil and when hot add garlic and onion and fry for 1 min. Then add broccoli and fry for a further min. Add wine and water cover and cook for 4 mins. Add tomatoes, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, salt, pepper and sesame oil - fry for another 30 seconds. Return chicken to the wok and stir fry for 3-4 mins until cooked and heated through. Serve.

This is the version I made. The original deep fries the chicken rather than just stir frying.

Everyone really enjoyed it and although there are a list of ingredients a mile long, if you like chinese food, they will not go to waste.

Here is recipe as promised (am hoping it's a case of better late than never).

This recipe is for batch cooking. I'm cooking it just now and am going to freeze 2/3 of it. The recipe says it serves 10.

INGREDIENTS:
2 tbsp olive oil
1.5kg pork tenderloin cut into strips
2 onions cut into thin wedges
4 crushed garlic cloves
1-2tbsp smoked paprika
500ml beef stock
2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes
1 tbsp sugar
3 peppers, chopped
DUMPLING INGREDIENTS:
250g SR flour
140g shredded suet
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
small bunch oregano, most leaves chopped

METHOD:
Using half oil brown pork then remove and set-aside. In rest of oil fry onions until soft and starting to brown. Add garlic and paprika and cooks for 1-2 mins. Return pork to pan , pour in stock, tomatoes and sugar. Bring to boil then turn down and simmer for 20-30 mins until sauce has thickened. Stir peppers into goulash.
To make dumplings combine all ingredients (except oregano leaves) with enough cold water to make dough. Roll into 30 dumplings and tuck into pan. Cover pan and cook for 25-30 mins until dumplings are puffed up. Scatter with reserved oregano leaves and some soured cream.
