What are you making for dinner?

Islandmaid

I don’t cook Fridays, OH normally springs for a takeaway, but we’re out for Sunday lunch so tonight, we are compromising with an Aldi crispy duck pancake and I’ll make some satay chicken 

@goldfinches Pomegranate Molasses is one of my never be without items, it’s amazing on grilled halloumi 🤤 well, on anything really 🤷‍♀️

Ended up with schnitzel and gratin potatoes last night as OH wasn't up to cooking.  So the swordfish will be done tonight poached over a bed of chopped peppers and shallots and some sort of white beans.  Likely to have tomatoes in it too and a splash of white wine.  Whatever - it always ends up great.

Frith

Vaguely ME stew today. Pomegranate molasses and raisins, because I had run out of prunes.

Hi, where do you all buy your Pomegranate Molasses from please. I have bought mine to bring home from Turkey for many years but have never bought it in UK. I am confused as Tesco also call it Pekmez which I can also buy in Turkey but is a totally different product. Morrisons has added sugar no thanks. My Turkey trips may be curtailed soon so would love a decent UK alternative.

@Paspatur I bought mine from the local Turkish supermarket where I can also buy pekmez and pekmez with tahini which I agree are a totally different thing. I've seen it on the shelves at my local mid-sized Waitflower and it's here in their online groceries and I'm pretty sure Oc*do stock it too but I don't think I've spotted it anywhere else.

@goldfinches thank you. I have no Turkish supermarket (plenty of barbers and some tailors) and no Waitflower or Ocado. I will seriously stock up in Turkey next month

We had a pizza night today thanks to the jollibee canada. We don't eat out too often, cause our younger daughter is still really tiny, but having some take aways is always a great idea. This way we enjoying eating together, without someone having to cook actually.

Fridge clear tonight, have loads of bits and pieces to use

I get our Pomegranate Molasses from a local ‘easy weigh’ type shop, that is the closest thing to an Asian grocer we have always find amazing treasure whenever we visit

I've also remembered I've seen it here www.souschef.co.uk and here www.ottolenghi.co.uk and here Home - Honey & Co (honeyandco.co.uk) but be warned all three sites are seriously delicious and you won't come away with just one item!
