  • Thanks for the suggestions yesterday, I threw in turkey breast diced up, a chopped onion, carrots , french beans and covered it with chicken stock, then just before serving I stirred in some creme fraice and served it with rice, what a success , clean plates all round and sooo easy:D

    Prawn curry today.

    Vegetable Moussaka

    1 aubergines
    4 potatoes
    2 onions
    3 large tomatoes, skinned and sliced (I am using a tin of chopped tomatoes)
    salt and pepper

    Cheese sauce, add mixed spice (home made leaving a little cheese for the top.

    Heat the oven to 160 c (325 F)gGass mark 3
    Fry the sliced aubergine and potatoes a little.
    Make the cheese sauce, adding the mixed spice
    Put 1/2 the mixed vegetables into a oven proof dish, dollop half the sauce over then add the rest of the mixed vegetables ending with the potatoes on top. pour on the rest of the cheese sause. Cover and bake in the oven for 1 1/4 hours. Take the lid off, add the rest of the grated cheese and put back in the oven for last 15 minutes.

    This is a realy filling meal, so make sure you dont have to do anything but collapse on the sofa afterwards:rotfl:
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
    Spring begins on 21st March.

    Yes, i just put mine in, rub butter over the breast and add a small amount of water - about a mugful. (sometimes i add spices or herbs too)
    It won`t be browned this way but i`m not fussed about that, some people brown the chook first in a frying pan though, i always cook mine on the lowest setting overnight or all day when i`m out.

    Thanks Sunny :)

    I love crispy chicken but if its not browned then I won't eat the skin which has to be healthier for me! :D

    Normandy Pork: Pork, Apples, Onions and Cider, will stir some Creme Fraiche in about half an hour before serving.
  • Yesterday we had Lousiana pork and beans, adapted for the SC from the new Jamie Oliver book.

    Today is the mince for a cottage pie - scrummy :)

    Alternatively just put it in on low for 8-9 hours, nothing added. Delicious.
