What's For Dinner Tonight Part 2

Thought I'd start a new thread and maybe get this thread going again. So what's for dinner tonight?

We're in need of some comfort food so we're having chestnut cobbler with herby roast potatoes.

Well I was doing quiche and salad but its snowing outside might have a rethink

We had planned to have salad too, but need something more hearty I think.

Last night I stuffed a pork loin with a stuffing made from mushrooms, tomotoes, red onion and paprika which we had with rice.

Thinking caps are on...

That stuffing sounds really nice pipling, yum!

We're having a junk food tea tonight as the holiday weekend starts so we're having spicy bean burgers with potato wedges and dips.

Homemade cheese and onion pie with salad

We're having black bean burritos tonight - I couldn't choose between wraps and rice so went for both!

Toad in the hole and I am trying a new recipe: "Tian du Midi" which is thinly sliced potato, onion, herbs and grated cheese layered up in a dish topped with tomatoes and cooked on the hob until the base is crispy.

I found the recipe in my retro French cookery book that I found in a charity shop.

That sounds good!

We're having rosti topped bean stew.

That'd be soup again

Don't know what I'm making for h monsters and OH though, maybe cheese and onion pie and chips.

Something with little sausages, found a bag in the freezer.
"Tian du Midi" sounds nice if it is please post the recipe

Leftovers for us tonight, turning the bean stew into a pasta bake.

It was lovely, Although the crispy bottom bit stuck to my pan, I managed to recue most of it!, and its really simple to make.

Slice some potatoes really thin (waxy is best), onion and grate some cheese (The recipe said parmesan, but I used cheddar - Gruyere would be nice though)
In a heavy bottomed pan (I used a sautee pan, but next time I would use a deep non stick frying pan) put a little olive oil and layer potato, onion and cheese putting a little thyme and seasoning inbetween.
You need to cook this for about 40 minutes on low on the hob. Keep loosening the sides with a palette knife and shaking the pan to stop it sticking.
Then add sliced tomatoes to the top and cook for a further 20 minutes - cover the pan about half way through the first stage.
Then turn out onto a plate.

The book says to use "herbe du midi", which is a mix of dried mediterranean herbs, but if you can't find that, to just use thyme which is what I did. But I will endeavour to find out what "herbe du midi" consists of.

Might give that a whirl Pipling when its just OH and me, sounds yum.
Just DS and myself tonight treating him to sausage and mash (OH hates mash think it takes him back to school dinners )

mmmmm yum yum pipling

We are going to pick some purple Curly Kale, some spurting purple broccoli spears and some green spurting broccilli spears but not sure what we are going to eat with them though

We had stir fries this weekend and tonight we're having jambalaya.

Pork chop and veggies, need to get veggies into DS before he leaves again for uni
