Tonight it’s pan-fried harissa-spiced chicken breasts with garlicky tender stem broccoli and courgettes.  For pud I’m making a sort of tarte tatin but with sliced bananas in a caramel rum sauce instead of apples.

Ohh, what do you make the caramel rum sauce with? Sounds yummy

Last night we had a freezer dive dinner - a cottage pie and beef casserole between 4, padded out with jacket potatoes, baguettes and lots of green veg. 

Tonight, as I am determined to empty the second freezer, I got some mince out to make bolognese, although can guarantee that a takeaway tub full will go back in 😬

Melt 60g butter with 85g dark brown sugar, juice of half a lemon and 50ml (or thereabouts!) dark rum in a heavy based all-metal (no wooden handle) frying pan. Stir gently until sugar has dissolved and it turns into caramel. You can add a pinch of ground cloves at this point, but I don't always bother.

Arrange thickly sliced bananas all over the rum caramel, then cover with a sheet of puff pastry (tucked in all around the edges like a lid). Bake in the oven for oh I dunno, about 30 mins at a medium heat until puffed and golden, leave for 5 mins to start cooling down then carefully flip out onto a serving dish so the pastry is now underneath. Do not splatter yourself with hot caramel, it's a bit volcanic.  It is also v yummy.  Mr CJ uses a long handled sundae spoon for this one
