Tonight I will be eating....

Pal

..a meal I cooked a few weeks ago and froze. Mrs Pal took it out of the freezer to defrost today, ready for when we get home.

However I can't decide whether to have rice, pasta or potatoes with it. Does anyone have any ideas of what goes best with "something brown in a blue freezer bag?"

Any tips for reheating it or anything else that might be worth adding to it to make it even tastier?

dont refreeze it!!!
Once something has been cooked and then defrosted,you cant refreeze it safely a second time. Too much danger of food poisoning.

Sounds yummy!

I would say pasta is a fairly safe bet...it would go with most things, surely? Even if it turns out to be curry. Although mash, too, can go with most things...unless it's likely to be something that already has potato in it...

My re-heating advice is re-heat slowly. Frozen things, thawed out, can be a little more fragile and more prone to being mushed up in the saucepan than when first cooked.

For making it tastier?...surely it wasn't too bad to start with, else you wouldn't have kept some to freeze?!!

Bon appetit!

I would cook the lot, rice, pasta and spuds and whichever DOESN'T go with it will make a salad tomorrow

With Irish blood in my and my partner's line, we say potatoes every time.

Something brown ... a casserole of some description? Garlic mash? Colcannon?

Pal

All the rhubarb got eaten on Sunday night in the biggest crumble ever.

Ooh my tum was fat.

Off the top of my head it could be chilli con carni, spag bol, goat curry, picadillo, tomato & mushroom sauce, meatballs in tomato sauce or beef in stout.

Worst case scenario it will turn out to be some of the chicken livers that I am saving up for when I make pate, in which case we are eating takeaway.
