Title: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: CarolineW on October 08, 2010, 12:53:02 pm: Hi,
just thought I'd start a new thread to see if it's helpful. For those of us not usually organised enough to do a meal plan, but thinking one day ahead / on the day :D

I'm planning to do a stir fry turkey dish tonight (coconut, ginger and lemongrass sauce) in the TMX tonight, with steamed jasmine rice. I only hope that fussy DD1 likes it!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on October 09, 2010, 08:11:42 am: Great idea for a thread CarolineW. We're having all the curry leftovers from last nights meal.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: maddy on October 10, 2010, 11:11:42 am: Love it Caroline.....we have this thread on the "taste" forum, and it's very inspirational ;)

Tonight I made open beef enchilada's (using Julie O's beef enchilada recipe)......Love the sauce!

I haven't had lunch yet, and that's exactly what I feel like!!

I have no idea what I'm cooking for tea tonight. DS 2 will be home and loves his food. I'm checking out cookdinner.com right now and I think this looks nice:Tangy Lemon, Spinach and Broccoli Soup (http://cookdinner.com/recipe.php?id=145&p=0&vi=&sort=&dir=)

Post by: maddy on October 11, 2010, 08:04:13 am: Hubby is picking up a couple of our fave wood fired pizza's on the way home.

I'm still moving furniture around, and just can't be bothered cooking tonight :P
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Chelsea (Thermie Groupie) on October 11, 2010, 08:21:54 am: Had a heap of veg that needed using up so we are having Italian Shepherds Pie from the EDC (with some sweet potato in the mash). It was so wintery this morning I thought this would be appreciated. Now I think a BBQ out in the sunshine would have been a better idea. :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: meganjane on October 11, 2010, 08:50:31 am: Well, I have three Chicken Breasts defrosting, but still not quite sure. Probably a Baf's Chicken, but not sure what flavour yet...
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on October 11, 2010, 10:07:08 am: Made a Donna Hay recipe called Honey & Lemon Roasted Chicken using a small free range chicken cut into quarters. Was really nice served with Judy's parmesan potatoes, mashed sweet potato and green beans. :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: CreamPuff63 on October 11, 2010, 11:50:02 am: mmn mmn mmn JO! Is this the recipe (http://www.laraferroni.com/2007/01/09/199/) you used for the chicken?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on October 11, 2010, 12:25:16 pm: CP it's similar, here it is, very simple as are most of Donnas. ;D

HONEY & LEMON ROASTED CHICKEN

2 tblsp lemon juice
90g honey
2 tblsp olive oil
sea salt and cracked black pepper
1 brown onion, cut into wedges
1.5kg whole chicken, quartered (I used a small free range chook, about 1.3kg and quartered it myself)
1 lemon, sliced
2 tblsp fresh rosemary leaves

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Place the lemon juice, honey, oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl and stir to combine.

Place the onion, chicken, lemon and rosemary in a baking paper lined baking dish
Brush the chicken with the honey mixture (I poured what was left over the top) and roast for 45 minutes or until golden and cooked through. (I also turned the chicken over when I could see it was nice and golden on the first side).
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Zan on October 11, 2010, 12:33:37 pm: Oh that chicken looks divine! Saving that recipe!

Tonight we had a panicked, don't have enough time for the planned meal, makeshift dinner that was great. Made some lovely organic beef and basil sausages into a lovely 'mince' sauce for burrito's. Only took 15 mins to make (was going to do sausages, mash and onion gravy, with steamed veg, but only had 45 mins to be cooked and kids eaten and cleared, lol) and was so tasty and nice.

Post by: Cornish Cream on October 11, 2010, 02:54:26 pm: I have some cooked pork with Italian tomato sausages and lefterover vegetables in the fridge, so I'm going to use Thermomixer's Frittata Recipe that uses the Varoma.I usually use the frying pan, so it will be interesting to see what happens. :D :D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: CreamPuff63 on October 12, 2010, 08:41:16 am: Thankyou JO for printing out the recipe, I am going to try it this week.

Good idea CC, we had roast last night and so I cooked heaps more veges than we needed as I was planning on making Bubble and Squeak (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4123.0) from this forum, but will give the frittatas a whirl now ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: maddy on October 12, 2010, 10:35:46 am: Tonight I converted a chorizo & zucchini risoni dish, can't remember where it was originally from, but it turned out just as good as the stove version.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: meganjane on October 12, 2010, 02:48:21 pm: I ended up doing a Chinese version of Baf's Chicken Dish. Marinated the chicken breasts in soy sauce, fish sauce and Chinese Five Spice. Sauteed chilli, shallot, ginger and garlic in *: then added chicken stock and dried shitakes. Steamed chicken in Varoma, removed, sliced and placed in Thermoserver. Added veges and steamed while cooking noodles in stock. Placed all on top of chicken and mixed together.

Bit messier than normal stir fry, but very delicious and fat free!

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on October 13, 2010, 02:36:09 am: I'm sure it tasted good though CarolineW.

We had a roast last night with roast vegies and cauli, broccoli, broad beans and fresh peas in the Varoma.

I'm dooing my menu plan for the week today so I have no idea what is for dinner tonight. ???
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Chelsea (Thermie Groupie) on October 13, 2010, 04:29:00 am: KFC (Chookie style) last night with mash and garden salad. Curried sausages with rice tonight. :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on October 13, 2010, 05:17:07 am: Bought some lovely King George Whiting from the fish monger this morning, so will be crumbing them and having with salad. :)

Post by: quirkycooking on October 13, 2010, 09:48:46 am: We had these Lamb Mince & Salad Pizzas (http://quirkycooking.blogspot.com/2010/03/lamb-mince-salad-pizza.html) today for lunch (except I didn't have any lamb mince) - 2 with beef mince & salad, 2 with flavoured tuna & salad - so leftovers for dinner with pumpkin soup. :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on October 14, 2010, 02:33:46 am: We will be having leftover KFC chicken tonight - I made far too much for 2 people last night but when you go to all that effort you may as well do a decent batch. Don't think DH will complain getting it 2 nights in a row and I can have a day out of the kitchen.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on October 14, 2010, 03:15:20 am: Maddy those photos always make me hungry no matter what time of the day it is.
Last night we had steamed chicken breasts with a satay sauce and vegies in the Varoma.
Tonight DH is having a lamb shank in the slow cooker and DD and I are having steamed salmon in the Varoma. DH doesn't like salmon that much and we don't like shanks.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: *jo* on October 14, 2010, 05:52:30 am: Curry powder from ATOV is always sensational, the house smells fantastic so going on the theme and making the potato curry too. I just LOVE that book it's worthwhile just for those two recipes alone! LOL. Now to use up some turkey mince...I'm guessing meatballs...
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: KarenH on October 14, 2010, 07:14:13 am: I was sneaky this morning and left the recipe for Chelsea's Swiss Beef on the kitchen table, and made sure that the ingredients were in the fridge, and then I went off to work leaving DH at home ....... and it worked! I've been told that we are having swiss beef and steamed vegies for dinner ;D ;D ;D ;D

http://fulllittletummies.blogspot.com/2010/03/swiss-beef.html

And when I got home from work last night he was just finishing off a batch of thermomix gingerbread men for the kids - they were delicious too

I can see from the photo that I am going to have to leave the recipe for chookies banana butterscotch pudding lying around too :D

I look forward to weekends when I get a chance to use the TMX too!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: maddy on October 14, 2010, 10:51:38 am: We had marinated pork stir fry with rice noodles.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: quirkycooking on October 17, 2010, 12:55:20 pm: Yum, that looks delicious!
I made a heap of sultana bread and buns this avvie, so we had that for dinner, hot out of the oven - yummy! ;D We don't do too much on Sunday nights, just sandwiches or bread or leftovers.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Chelsea (Thermie Groupie) on October 17, 2010, 01:03:13 pm: We don't normally do much either on Sunday nights.

My Hubby used the TM for the first time to make a meal (he makes our daily brekky juice - bless him). He made some very yummy pumpkin and sweet potato soup. He also made some savoury french toast spread with homemade tomato sauce to serve it with. It was a rather strange meal, but we all enjoyed it. Everything seems to taste better when you haven't had to cook it. :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Zan on October 19, 2010, 11:33:44 am: JulieO - yum!
I really should do more for presentation in my photos, lol, but like tonights they are usually on the kids plates and often after the meal has started. (and using my phone as too time poor to grab the camera, lol.

Tonight we had salmon, rice and veg - AIO using the Varoma.
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_baJJCSYEBXM/TL1kf6eI7_I/AAAAAAAAA_c/Vb8-hyv8Br8/s320/salmon.jpg)
As discussed on the blog I did a sauce similar to the Huelva one but it didnt have enough flavour for me, but was still nice and gave the rice a lovely flavour.
The salmon I also wrapped as I don't like it so didn't want it to drip on the rice (the kids love salmon). All was cooked perfectly and a winner of a meal.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: maddy on October 19, 2010, 12:11:14 pm: Chicken kiev (that Chelsea posted), balsamic salsa and wedges.

For me using the ratio of twice as much breadcrumbs to parmesan the parmesan flavour didn't shine through enough.

Post by: maddy on November 04, 2010, 11:00:49 pm: LoL......they start a reasonable size, but by the time I keep adding.....we can't wrap our mouths around them! ;D

I just use lean beef mince, and keep it simple with onion/garlic/egg/fresh breadcrumbs and pepper.
I do use the tupperware hamburger press

(http://fantasticupdates.com/hamburger.jpg)

.....which makes them perfectly shaped and as thick as you'd like them to be. I pop the stacks in the freezer for an hour before cooking, and they never break up or split. Alternatively, make them earlier in the day, and leave in the fridge in the stackable containers.

Post by: judydawn on November 05, 2010, 12:06:38 am: Watched Little River Cottage with Huge Whittingstall last night and liked his idea of vegies topped with cheese sauce then covered in mashed potatoes so that is what we are having today. Now to work out how I am going to cook the salmon portions to go with it. Surprisingly few recipes in our books.

Found one on the forum which I will try from ozzy-dj - has asian flavours so not quite the thing to have with the vegie dish but it won't bother us.

Post by: maddy on November 09, 2010, 10:40:16 am: LoL Judy......you must have a whopping sized freezer for all your cooking that you do!

Leftover dip is also great on top of open hamburgers :P

I use refried beans mixed with salsa for the base, add grated cheese and cook in pizza maker for 3 minutes, then top with the beef,and the rest.

Actually Zan, I've never made them :P It was late when we got home, so I used tinned refried beans, mixed together with a jar of salsa. It actually works well together....as I won't eat it on it's own :)
I must search out a recipe and try and make them....usually when I think to use it, time is the problem.

We have a birthday in the house today - Isaac is 6 and its always been tradition that we go to Pizza Hut on birthdays .... Its a tradition I'd like to change but since daddy is away working and some friends weren't available for a "tea" I didn't think this was the right time :)

I did get the Turkey, thyme and meatloaf passed my DH , but I did make his favourite of roast potatoes to go with it and he liked the "turkey bake".I'm in Buckinghamshire Nik, so the floods didn't affect us and my family in Cornwall live in Falmouth and Truro so they were fine.
Have fun cooking for the Birthday Tea on Saturday and I hope Isaac has a great time. :)

Hi,
just thought I'd start a new thread to see if it's helpful. For those of us not usually organised enough to do a meal plan, but thinking one day ahead / on the day :D

I'm planning to do a stir fry turkey dish tonight (coconut, ginger and lemongrass sauce) in the TMX tonight, with steamed jasmine rice. I only hope that fussy DD1 likes it!
Sounds great can u post details for us newbies! Ta

Hi Joynatalie,
I don't really have a recipe for this, I just throw in whatever I have around as a stir fry (100oC / speed spoon / reverse). The sauce was just coconut milk, some ginger and lemongrass, with a bit of garlic and chilli, if I remember correctly. I just threw it all in - sorry!

I steam the rice first, then keep it warm in an insulated server while I quickly do the stir fry, exactly as I would in a wok, but in the TMX as described above. Sometimes if I'm steaming rice I put coconut cream in with the water, so that the rice infuses with coconut - it's lovely.

I'm sorry I can't be more descriptive, but I hope that this helps.

Caroline

Tonight we had All in one varoma fish meal. The fish was done in foil with maple syrup and soy sauce (as recommended by a Canadian friend) and it was sooooo nice. The kids loved the sauce so we will def do it again. Served with white and sweet potatoes (personal preferences, lol) and steamed carrot and brocolli.

I used the mint jelly recipe that thermomixer posted: http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2838.0
I just halved everything, and it yielded 2 cups.
I got a little forgetful, and put the mint in with the apples to cook, instead of adding it in at the end......but it turned out wonderfully minted anyway :)

Was absolutely delish! Has been my favourite meat dish from the TM so far 8)

I did increase the chicken content to 700gm cooked for 12 minutes - varoma temp), and doubled the sugar, cornflour, mirin and soy (Ketjap Manis) quantities. Instead of fresh chilli, I added I tsp. dried chilli flakes.
Also added in 1/2 packet frozen stir fry veggies (microwaved first), then added in with the chicken for an extra minute to heat and mix through.

Maddy, would you mind terribly much letting us know what was in the red curry chicken risotto? It looks to be right up my alley!
:)

Berry, I just followed the basic directions from the "Apricot chicken - risotto style" EDC, page 86.
Basically I chopped 1 onion (quartered), 2 garlic cloves & flat leaf parsley.
Added 3 Tbspn. red curry paste, 40g olive oil, and saute 3 minutes, - 100c- speed 1.
Added 120g chopped carrot, 1 red capsicum (quartered), and chop for 3 secs - speed 7.
Added 600g cubed chicken breasts (thigh would be better), 100g organic light coconut milk (reserve rest of can), and cook 2 mins. - 100c reverse - speed 1.
Add remaining 300g coconut milk, 300g water, 1 Tbsp. tm stock, 300g aborio rice, salt & pepper and cook for 17 minutes - 100c-reverse speed 1.
Allow to rest in thermoserve for at least 5 minutes before serving.

P.S.....this was on the milder side, if you were wanting more heat, add in some finely chopped chilli and saute with the curry paste ;)

Still munching through Christmas leftovers.....so for dinner I shredded cooked pork, blitzed up some garlic/onions/carrots/frozen broccoli, and once cooked mixed through some char siu sauce (Asian BBQ sauce), little soy, boiling water-cornflour, bamboo shoots, baby corn and some peas.
Mixed it through some fresh hokkien noodles.

We had Butter Chicken from the Indian book. Yummy!! Posted a few tweaks on my blog (which I probably posted some of the last time I made it, must remember to use them, lol) but makes heaps to much sauce (even for me where I loooove extra sauce, not a big carb eater so prefer a soup like texture, lol) - recipe calls for 500g of cream, I did 250 cream, 100g yoghurt, 150 extra water - next time I'll try just doing 150g cream, 100g yoghurt. Thought the yoghurt really added to the flavour (and reduced the calories, lol). Also added some cumin seeds.

Sorry no photo, but really love this dish.

My two favourite flavour combinations.......and I'm trying to use up all the paste I made from last time.......the new fruit is already growing rapidly!
Just popped the paste in the microwave for 20 seconds, and it was perfectly spreadable.
I sprinkle semolina on the pizza stone, and with each pizza it develops a lovely smokey flavour to the base :-*

Babi Pong Tay from the 2011 calendar.

Been so excited about this pork belly recipe after getting it a couple of weeks ago and it is so yummy!!!
Served with rice and steamed veg (broccoli, bok choy, red capsicum) done in the varoma for the last 15 mins (changed the temp up to varoma for that time).
Will make this again.

I made the EDC coleslaw, mashed potato and Chookies no fuss rolls, but made them quite small so they were like the ones from KFC!
I made the EDC gravy but wasn't impressed so reverted back to gravox and added a tablespoon of the failed gravy to it. I've frozen the gravy in ice block trays to use for something!
So cheap and no nasties compared to getting takeaway! YUMMO!

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: hools003 on January 04, 2011, 12:22:33 pm: My 11 yr old son still keeps commenting on the "KFC" from last night!!! Hmmmmm how do you top that???
Anyway, this afternoon was really hot and we ended up at my brother and sister In laws place for a swim later in the afternoon with a couple of glasses of wine!!! Got home at 6.45pm and realized I hadn't got anything out for dinner!! Oops! I looked in the EDC and remembered that the creamy tomato and salami fettucine went down really well last time I made it and I had all the ingredients. I used rigatoni pasta instead of the fettucine and It was ready in no time. My eldest son used to love the jars of pasta bake but I think this gets more of a thumbs up. Only complaint I get is that there isn't enough of it. I steamed some broccoli to pad it out a bit but it is a bit of a stretch to feed 3 hungry boys, husband and me!! I didn't have time to take a photo because we were all starving!!

I finally decided to make Trudys Honey Mustard Chicken and I must say that it was so easy and the flavour was yum!
I made rice and steamed brocolli to go with it. I did add a few mushrooms in the last 10 mins.
We are still waiting on the salted caramel maple ice cream as it hadn't frozen in the ice cream maker so I've just put it in the freezer.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: maddy on January 07, 2011, 10:48:54 pm: It was really lovely Wonder!
A little tedious cooking the chicken in small batches (I used 3 chicken breasts), but worth it for the flavour. Do allow yourself plenty of time before dinner, to fry the chicken.
Next time I will cut the chicken a little thicker than I did.
Think it would also be lovely with pork too.

I made the EDC creamy tomato and salami sauce which I reduced down quite a lot and served on a baked potato - we love that sauce and DS1 eats it happily veggies and all :)

Made JulieO's Chocolate Icecream for dessert...mmmmm...straight to the hips but oh, it was worth it! ;D ;D

(as you can see from the pic, we were so keen for the icecream, it was still really soft and the raspberries still frozen!!) oh sooooo good!

LOL I don't usually do frozen veg but the frozen berry place does a carrot/corn/pea one for $4 for 2.5 kg so I just had to try it. Last week I made soup and thought I'd put some in and they were all swarming around begging, ended up giving them a bowl full.
But they do prefer everything pretty much in it's precooked stage, lol. They eat any herbs/spices (I've even bought that jarred garlic for them as they love it so much), vegies, dried pasta is a big favourite. I often struggle to get a full meal on the table by the time they've scavenged.

But with the veg at that price they can have a bowl as a 'treat' anytime, lol.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on January 09, 2011, 04:34:27 am: What was supposed to be for tea we ended up having about an hour ago. Ricotta & parmesan gnocchi with a tomatoey sauce I made up with some defrosted roasted red & yellow capsicum that I chopped, a good spoonful of home made tomato pesto. I sauteed both until it smelled wonderful, then added a tin of chopped toms and a tsp sugar. Let it cook for a little while then added a couple of slurps of chicken stock to thin down a little. Mixed in some fresh torn basil leaves right before serving. Went with the gnocchi perfectly. Will just have toasted sandwiches tonight if we get hungry. ;D

you cook the gnocchi in the pan first then add the other ingredients and sauce after..i normally brown the gnocchi first then add iether oignon or shallots and chicken for example..some spices white wine..let that reduce then cream last and reduce it a bit...sometimes put mushrooms in after the onion and chicken have cooked a bit.. but like i said its a commercial special type of gnocchi ive tried it with other normal gnocchi that you boil and it doesnt work the same..may need to dry it out a little or put it in the pan partially frozen or something??

Tonight we had beef kofta, mash potato and steamed veg (including garlic mushrooms).
(so meat mixture made in the tmx and baked in the oven, rest in tmx whilst they were cooking)
And for those that don't like mashed potatoes (sacrilege) they had left over tortillas from last night.

Oh and thinking of adding some breadcrumbs to make it lighter, but haven't tried it.

Tonight we had Jo's fried rice with chicken, cashews, mushrooms, carrot, corn, peas and eggs. So easy and yum.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 20, 2011, 05:54:24 am: For lunch today we just had egg, baked beans and some leftover mashed potato. I sprayed a frying pan, put a couple of blobs of cold mashed potato into the pan and was so surprised when I came to turn it over and it stayed in the same shape and nothing stuck to the pan. Normal mashed potato has never done that for me, it was great - all brown and crispy on the outside and lusciously smooth on the inside. I will be now be making sure I have leftovers just so that we can have it again.

Tea tonight will be the last of the fish fingers and some crispy potato slices/salad.

DS1 said he was thinking about it during work and couldn't wait for 9pm to arrive so he could come home for it. He had eaten 2 chicken thigh fillets in bread rolls at 5pm so he wasn't starving.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Zan on January 20, 2011, 08:20:15 am: An interesting dinner here.

Started off I made stock from lunches chicken carcass. And then made an udon soup with it.
chopped garlic, ginger, chili, added stock, little soy sauce, frozen peas, corn and carrot mix, cooked for 15 mins 100° reverse speed 1, adding a packet of udon noodles 3 mins before the end.
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_baJJCSYEBXM/TTfrySrGcdI/AAAAAAAABOo/jd-yObbh_Lc/s320/200111soup.jpg)

This was the planned dinner with some bread from yesterday.

But I got Jamie Oliver's 30 min meals in the post today and was reading through and his super quick and easy yorkshire pudding started a craving.
So dinner became as dd1 said 'a multicultural meal' as the soup was served with Yorkies, lol.
They were very yum though!! Kids had 3 each and I only managed 2!
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_baJJCSYEBXM/TTfryn7_ieI/AAAAAAAABOw/RQSE6DPB7gw/s320/200111yorkies.jpg)

Dessert made Jamie's 'Berry Icecream' (1/2 portion)
250g frozen berries (I used strawberries)
250g yoghurt
2 tablespoons of honey
All mixed together

This was nice and healthy though next time I would do a bit more on the fruit and less on the yoghurt as it was still a bit tangy/sour. But am wondering if this batch of strawberries aren't quite as full of flavour as thought that with my smoothie this morning as well.
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_baJJCSYEBXM/TTfryEIDoaI/AAAAAAAABOg/3XVKitgCbhk/s320/200111strawb.jpg)
One thing he'd mentioned was putting the bowls/cups in the freezer and think that would be a great idea for this or Strawberry Dream (edc) etc as it was fine in the girls plastic ikea bowls but in my bowl I've noticed it starts to melt around the edges as soon as it touches the bowl.

Post by: cookie1 on January 21, 2011, 02:29:16 am: Zan I have taken an idea from Helene's blog re sorbets or soft serve icecreams. I serve them in insulated glassware. They are actually coffee glasses made by Bodum but they are so good for soft serve ices. They help to keep it frozen and stop the edges melting.

I don't like much seafood so never really looked at it. I try to do fish for the girls once a fortnight - but as dd1 feels the same as I do (ie pukey at anything fishy, lol) we don't do much. But a friend (Maria, lol) recommended this so it's been on the list for months and finally today was at the shops and thought I'd do it.
Really not fishy at all and can't believe dd1 had 3 servings!
Think the marinade really did it.
I left the marinade remnants in the tmx bowl to flavour the rice too so that was extra lovely. (oh and marinade had coriander too)

Pasta rollers are great. I only ever use the lasagne sheet roller on mine now as I can't be bothered cleaning the others after use. When making fettucine I just lightly flour the pasta sheets, fold them up and slice them up with a butter knife. The pasta strips shake out easily from being folded if they are floured. I learnt that tip from watching Jamie Oliver. :)

Maddy I'd love your slow cooked mexican chicken recipe please, I'm drooling here!!

Zan, it was a Sally Wise recipe (slow cooker) book.
She called it Spicy Roast chicken, but it wasn't that spicy (you could add in chilli if you wanted some heat), and she used a whole chook, but I used thigh pieces.

Slow cooked Mexican chicken

Chicken rub
1 Tbsp. sweet paprika
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground ginger
3/4 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp stock powder or salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp dried mint
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp cornflour (optional)
1kg chicken thighs chopped (or whatever amount you wish to use)

Pop all these ingredients into a large ziplock bag, and massage the rub into the chicken.
Can leave in fridge to marinate until your ready to cook.

Into slow cooker add:
1/4 cup chicken stock (I used 1 cup because we like extra sauce for the rice), mixed together with 2 tsp sweet chilli sauce (1 used 2 Tbsp.)
Pour into slow cooker, place chicken on top, and cook on HIGH for 3 hours.

I mixed in 4 Tbsp. cornflour mixed with 2 Tbsp. water, at 2 1/2 hour mark to thicken.

Post by: quirkycooking on February 24, 2011, 07:40:36 am: I'm making Curry Vegetable Fritters from the Vegetarian cookbook - nice and easy, although a little time-consuming to fry... but so yummy :) So while they cook I've got my laptop in the kitchen so I can check out what you all are doing! ;D The kids may be a little disappointed with just the fritters for dinner, so I'm going to make some dessert later - so I'm going to make a peach rice pudding with rapadura & lime syrup, and caramelized peaches. (Experimenting!) :)

My Dad bought a food smoker from Aldi's, not long ago. It does a wonderful job. He uses the dry wood from our fruit tree cuttings, I give him a bulk load of chicken breasts....and shazam......heaps of smoked chicken for the freezer :D

Post by: JulieO on March 01, 2011, 09:25:22 am: I made a risotto tonight, only the 3rd time I've made one and I forgot to set on Reverse speed :-)) Of course it turned out more gluggy than it should have but the flavours with the garlic and chilli prawns was really nice. I couldn't eat it on it's own but with the prawns it was very nice. I converted a Bill Granger recipe called Citrus Risotto with garlic & chilli prawns.

I also made a lovely cobb loaf, it turned out crusty on the outside and nice and soft on the inside, was very happy with it. :)

Having my dtr and baby staying with us hasn't left me much time to play around with photos until today. She has gone home for a couple of days as her partner is on dry land until Thursday then she'll come back. Am loving every minute of it but think I'll fall in a heap when she finally goes back. :D

The signature in the photos I was able to add in Picasa3 where I upload my photos to from my camera. ;D

Dessert - Jabba's chocolate cashew cream
http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4579.0
This was sooooo easy and quick.
Nice. Not quite rich enough for us but not sure if I put the right amount of cocoa in. Made a triple serving which served the kids fine. dd3 didn't like it as it was too nutty but the others did. Me I think of it as a healthy version of choc pudding and any excuse will do!! Yum!
I made it before cooking dinner and popped it in the fridge, had firmed up and chilled nicely. So a great quick and easy choc fix.

Post by: Snoozie on March 31, 2011, 12:09:40 pm: Nope I've been venting (and spending) on fb lol

I very stupidly decided to go collected my fruit 'n vege delivery (organic gets couriered in to one person's house and then all orders collected from there)... which was a broccoli box weighing about 12-15kg... that I then carried to the car, drove home and carried up stairs and in the house then had lots of pain in stomach/back had to lie down for ages but got better then of course washing machine door is not working properly so it has to get reefed to open so of course I did that a few times ... apparently both rather stupid things to do when you're just shy of 26 weeks pregnant as I got told off by nurse and told to stay in bed for rest of the weekend so hopefully all I've done is pulled tendons and not anything worse.

DH is away overnight and has been working ridiculous hours so the kids are really unimpressed with their slack mum (although enjoyed the junk food!) lol

Trying to be good... gave me a bit of a fright especially since one lady on a forum I go to who was due only a few days before me had her bub a couple of days ago. Last time I remember the same "pain" sensation I was in labour with DD1 so yeah... not smart move on my part.

Tomorrow night hopefully we're having devilled sausages which will have mashed potato added to the top and baked with some grated cheese lol soooo basically a "pie" lol

Post by: Debbiebillg on March 31, 2011, 01:15:26 pm: Snoozie are you a member on the Australian Breastfeeding Assoc forum ? Just wondered as I remember reading about someone having their baby early. I often wonder if there are members on here that are also on the ABA ? I don't often post on there, my youngest is two now and no longer feeding but still read it here and there. I hope everything is ok with you, and really hope you manage to get some bedrest. I imagine very hard though with other kids to look after and DH at work. Take care !

Actually cooked it in the wok Judy ;)
I tend to like my stir fry's better that way.

After school I made Mexican chicken in the slow cooker, then after footy training threw it onto large pitas and cooked in the pizza oven.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Chelsea (Thermie Groupie) on April 07, 2011, 12:34:45 am: It is so interesting reading about different cultures. Our family in Europe eat quite late too. My Uncle gets home from work at about 7.30pm and then starts cooking tea for the family. Quite often they don't eat until after 8.30pm. We have an early tea at about 6pm. That gives us time for baths and a little quiet play before an early bedtime. :)

P.S - My friends eat dinner at 4.45pm every night. I would be starving by bedtime!!!

Post by: Frozzie on April 07, 2011, 12:59:46 pm: europeans often dont get to bed until late as well so no problem with the four hours usually...in summer its still light out at 11pm..long days and as its summer holidays it doesnt matter too much if the kids go to bed late either!! my parents freak out when they come over to visit so we usually have to adapt a little and eat earlier lol!

Post by: judydawn on April 11, 2011, 03:19:57 am: Yesterday I tried to cook some huge lamb shanks (450g each) in the varoma using the all-in-one method. Although they were cooked, they weren't falling off the bone as I like them to be so I removed the meat from the bone and cooked it a further 20 minutes in the sauce. That is what we are having for tea tonight with mashed potato and steamed vegies. I will work on the times for my original attempt with the other 2 shanks I have in the freezer as I am determined to have success with them. I purposely cooked a large amount of sauce with this recipe to use the excess in a bolognaise sauce for another meal.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: em on April 11, 2011, 05:48:16 am: hi. so as you all know i have been trying to get my motivation back and yesterday i cooked up some yummy desserts to take out to my parents house. i made the salted caramel maple ice cream and it was delicious! will be making that again for sure. i also tried teninas salted caramel brownies (http://tenina.com/2010/05/salted-caramel-brownies/) recipe and they were also nice. we hadnt tried the salty caramel flavour before but i was impressed with these and the brownies baked quite quickly which was good.
today is min 6 max 15 here in wodonga, so really feeling the chill all of a sudden, so i made some yummy vegie soup for lunch which really warmed me up. so i think i am finding that motivation again, just seeing how much you can make in so little time, really makes me love the tm all over again!

I basically used that recipe for the sauce but with 2 cans of tomatoes and more water because I was steaming the shanks in the varoma dish like the recent topics of roasting meat CP. I browned them first and only cooked them for 40 minutes. When a knife went through easily I thought they were cooked but no, it needed more time. I will start the recipe afresh another time and steam them for at least 1 hour 15 minutes. This is a picture of how I set them up to steam.

JD more often than not products are priced quite differently as they know that once you add postage it comes to roughly the same give or take ten dollars..it is criminal but i hope its not the same bag for those of you who bought it in oz (like katya)..so expensive.

Maddy the mushroom sauce looks divine. What recipe did you use?

Well.... :P.....I have yet to find one that I really like in TM, so.......I saute the mushrooms with a little butter and cracked pepper, then I make up the gravy using "Knorr" rich brown gravy (in a commercial tub), then mix it in with the mushrooms.

(http://www.unileverfoodsolutions.com.au/wu_cache/img/069/50004975_0000_0000_0.jpg)

I don't use fat drippings to make gravy, so this is the nicest we've tried yet.

I made slow cooker spinach lasagna (http://www.raisehealthyeaters.com/2011/01/slow-cooker-spinach-lasagna/)... not healthy here as our local woollies doesn't stock "light" anything unless it's in the tiny tubs / blocks. sigh!

DH liked it... I thought it was a bit rich (duh cheese central lol) and my kids just picked at it.

I prepped in the tmx... grated parmesan/cheddar... also grated up a couple of carrots and zucchini to add to the ricotta mix which I mixed in tmx as well.

Post by: judydawn on April 29, 2011, 07:50:37 am: Well here's our Royal wedding crayfish buffet all set up (earlier for a photo, it is all back in the fridge at the moment until later). Made Chookies no fuss rolls, coleslaw, tossed salad, eggs and the star of the table, the crayfish and homemade seafood sauce.
Can't wait to get stuck into it, it's been ages since we've had crayfish.

Post by: andiesenji on April 29, 2011, 09:46:32 pm: Not using the TMX, or at least not yet. I have a chuck shoulder roast braising in the small oven - long, slow cooking so the cartilage and etc., dissolves and the meat becomes totally tender for shredding. My version of "loose meat" sandwiches on order for this evening.

Depending on how ambitious I get, I may be making a sauce for the meat in the TMX.

I think with stir fry....I love that sizzle you get from the hot wok, and I love the process from cooking them on the stove. I do use the TM for stir fry sometimes, but that's one dish I do prefer to do "the old way" :)

After a huge day yesterday, and too many "social" wines in afternoon & night......it was steamed dim sims :P.....which I do steam from frozen in the TM though 8)

I've seen MeganJane's recipe on here now so I will give that a try next time. :)

Maddy I would say I prefer stir fries done the traditional way, but TMX is so much easier and cleaner, lol. And still tastes great.

tonight we had Roast Lamb, roast potatoes, baked mushrooms, veg and yorkshire puddings.
The yorkshire pudding batter and the gravy were made in the TMX. (and yes I know not traditional to have yorkies with lamb but they are a complete favourite in our house. )

I couldn't find it the other day when I went to see what the poster's reaction was to comments - maybe it was deleted quick smart.

Tonight for tea we are having Beef & Guiness Stew with mashed potato. Have GD today so have made enough to go home with her for their tea with some spring rolls for entree. We had another lot for lunch today and I taught GD how to roll them - she did a great job.

The recipe was from here http://allrecipes.com.au/recipe/6792/green-pasta-salad.aspx but I halved the recipe. The basil pesto dressing really made it.

Post by: Frozzie on May 12, 2011, 04:08:42 pm: there is a great one in mwoc (well there is in the french version) and the dough is divine and obviously works as both a calzone and pizza and you just let your creative skills go wild for the filling... :)

They look nice maddy, is the recipe anywhere other than in your head.

was loosely based on the calzone recipe in the free leggos cookbook promotion at Coles atm.

The non yeast dough was good.

280g SR flour
pinch salt
1 egg
110g milk

mix 7 secs, speed 4. then knead setting for 3 mins. (enough dough for 4 large calzones) which you roll out to 18cm disks.
wrapped and popped in fridge whilst cooking chicken.

Didn't measure precisely, but heated 2 TBSP. oil and chopped garlic first, added cubed chicken breast - 2 breasts (I made double quantity), cooked for 13 mins, 100c speed 1.
Then added pizza sauce, bbq sauce, chopped salami, chopped mushroom, 2 tsp. dried oregano. Mix.
Once mix on dough, sprinkle with pizza cheese, seal and brush with milk.
Cook 20-25 mins, 200c.

I also made individual lemon surprise puddings (made 6) which were lovely, but for some reason seemed sweeter this time around so will cut back on the sugar a bit next time.

Judy if you see this, they took about 40 mins in a 180C oven, but I did have to open the oven door a few times for the pies. Made them in a couple of different type of containers. Great recipe. :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on May 16, 2011, 01:12:02 am: Thanks Frozzie. I have about a dozen pie tins like these. They are the perfect size and I freeze the unbaked pies in them. Being non-stick means I don't have to grease them either. :D

Post by: judydawn on May 16, 2011, 01:39:39 am: Thanks Julie - surprised the puddings took that long but they do look better served individually. Love your pies too.
Bakers Secret also have the oval shaped pie tins too Frozzie.

Post by: maddy on May 16, 2011, 01:49:22 am: Just gorgeous photo's Julie! The food just leaps off the screen!
I love the enamel? mugs for the puddings......I want pie and lemon pudding NOW! :P
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on May 16, 2011, 04:08:05 am: Judy. I would only go by my time as a guide as I was doing other things and didn't take too much attention lof them to be honest, just kept checking to see when they turned golden and sprung back when touched in the middle.

Yes I have 4 of the oval shaped tins too but they seemed to make quite big pies from my memory. Maybe I should try them again to see. I really want to make some chicken ones soon. Pies are great to have in the freezer, so much nicer than any bought pie. ;D

Thanks Maddy, yes they are enamel mugs. :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on May 16, 2011, 04:54:28 am: My mouth is watering too JulieO. They all look lovely.
WE only eat homemade pies, I am always scared of what is in bought ones.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Frozzie on May 16, 2011, 06:08:49 am: thanks julieO will look into them online as they are perfect and thanks JD for the tip re oval ones too :)

cookie i too love homemade and my family has only ever had homemade as you cant get them over here anyway and I too am a bit scared about buying them..only time I ever did in oz was at certain bakerys who made them in house fresh and even that wasnt that often..i have a great WW recipe for meat pies (mince ones) that taste delish and you can add whatever, onion, mushroom, curry etc etc..ok have to get some of these tins and make me some more pies :) :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: TM_Ted on May 20, 2011, 01:12:22 pm: Tonight we had Thai - Larp Gai. I could not find a TMX recipe so we made it up as we went along. It turned out as we expected, and we made lots of notes about how to do what next time.

Had difficulty toasting the Jasmine Rice, even on Varoma temperature it didn't seem the TMX was hot enough. Think there was sufficient to dry the grains but the grinding then took a little longer than expected. Normally we toast them to a golden brown in a little frypan on the stove.

I was worried about how to handle the Chicken mince but that worked itself out by extending the cook time. Next time I will just use skinless Chicken Breast and get the smallest kitchen in the world to mince it.

We both enjoyed it. I had mine wrapped in a Lettuce leaf and DW had hers on a bed of shredded lettuce. Gemma will definitely not be getting the leftovers. She is too busy eating the last of the Cream Puffs from a few days ago, she does not mind if they are a little soggy.

Tonight we had Friday night soup night - chicken and vegetable soup tonight.

Post by: TM_Ted on May 23, 2011, 02:21:33 am: Last night we had Italian Chilli Braised Pork Chops with TMX Mashed Potatoes. The Pork recipe came from the WW Pressure Cooker Book but as I just had some Pork Chops I browned them on the cooktop and then braised in the oven. DW has told me we are having this dish again this week, we have more Pork Chops and it was so good.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on May 23, 2011, 04:59:05 am: Thanks for the review of that recipe Ted. I bought that book on the weekend as I'd ordered a pressure cooker on Thursday expecting it some time this week. It arrived this morning :o

I have put that recipe on my list of ones to make, so thanks for the heads up. :)

Since then I have been on the look out for any haloumi recipes.

We are having left over stroganoff from last night with rice and steamed veges (my first go doing them together in the tmx).
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Zan on May 24, 2011, 02:10:21 pm: I've put the recipe on my blog http://thermomixmeals.blogspot.com/2011/05/monday-23rd-may-apple-and-cinnamon.html - sorry I'm a bit pressed for time at the moment so recipes are a bit sketchy but copied quantities from the original recipe.

Tonight we had Chicken Tempra from the Babi Tempra recipe in the Asian cookbook.
A winner.

Family Chowder Soup with TM bread - both from forum

Spaghetti Bologanise from EDC with a few additions

Rice Pudding from EDC

You can tell it is getting colder n Perth, not sure if we will manage all 3 courses, but DS had a bowl of rice pudding for afternoon tea!

So 3 courses all in the TM - gotta love my machine ;D

Post by: gotta cook on May 25, 2011, 12:17:49 pm: My very first post - here goes! Just bought a few recipe books so tried out the Chicken with Prunes from the Meat on the Menu book.Used chicken thighs. Decided to try and make it even more Moroccan .Modified the recipe by adding 8 dried apricots, a cinnamon quill, 1star anise, a pinch of turmeric, a shake of ground cardamom,and a shake of ground cumin. ( just guessed amounts and hoped for the best!) Turned out really yummy, served with cous cous . :)

Post by: Cuilidh on June 12, 2011, 11:18:52 pm: I just wanted to comment on my last post - I tried the vegetable stew from the Rainbow Recipes book last night and have got to say that the gravy was BRILLIANT!!! As a vegetarian I have found it challenging to get a good gravy, but this one has done it. I would probably change the vegetable mixture next time, but the gravy is definitely going to be used again and again and again ....
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on June 13, 2011, 12:35:05 am: Is this the first recipe you've done from that book Cuilidh? Overall, what do you think of the book?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on June 13, 2011, 10:27:59 pm: Yes, this is the first recipe I've made from this book. Everything is well laid out and presented so it is very straightforward to follow recipes - it also gives non-TMX instructions for cooking the same dish so is versatile in that sense as well.

Overall, I would say the recipes look varied, interesting and healthy. I will be tackling more as time goes on. For me, the book is a boon (harking back to being a vegetarian here) and I think I probably prefer it to the Vegetarian book from TMX, but it's early days yet. I'll keep you posted on meals as I make them.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: maddy on June 15, 2011, 09:06:51 am: Yvette, the one I have is called "The pizza maker - multifunction pizza oven".
There are two types. One is red, and the pizza stone is non removable. The black one has the removable stone, with an insert to pop in and make frittata's etc.

(http://img.oo.com.au/prod/HMHCLD901/2b.jpg)

(http://img.oo.com.au/prod/HMHCLD901/5b.jpg)

(http://img.oo.com.au/prod/HMHCLD901/4b.jpg)

Works well, and with fresh dough, it would take around 8 minutes to cook. You would just pop your cheese on in the later few minutes, so that it doesn't brown too much.
The bases are lovely and crisp, and usually I'm not organised to make the dough prior, but using pita breads as bases is only 3-4 minutes cooking.

I will say, use only one side of the pizza stone.....I gave mine to a neighbour to try before she decided to buy, and I'm not sure if it was whatever topping she used, or it was turned over and used on the clean side :o.....but when I got it back last night, it was smoking like crazy on the underside, and burning the oil that was there >:( that's why you just use the one side! Luckily I have just found a replacement stone online for $24.00 just now.

Semolina is great for sprinkling on stone if using fresh dough, and I don't even bother with that if using pita breads.
I purchased mine at kitchenware direct, but check around for prices.
Like Julie, I purchased the metal paddles from the machines own website http://www.thepizzachef.com.au/Default.asp?c=15527 they are fantastic!

Post by: dede on June 15, 2011, 10:22:44 am: I like the Pizza oven, looks like a good machine to have but like Judy we don't eat that many pizzas either.

Tonight we had Curried mince meat (from the forum) with added veggies to bulk it up. I can feed a family of 7 for under $10 with this meal. And we love it.

Don't you hate lending anything that doesn't come back quite the same :'( :'(

Absolutely! You know, one would think I should have learned a lesson by now.
My Sister in law had been without an oven for a few weeks, and was waiting for the element to turn up. I felt sorry for her, and loaned her a brand new-never out the box Breville pizzetta oven, I had been storing until my "one day" new kitchen happened.

Well, it's been at her place for at least 18 months now, and you should see the state of it! :o >:( >:(
I would highly doubt that industrial strength cleaners would clean the baked on grime >:(

Post by: CreamPuff63 on June 15, 2011, 02:38:54 pm: are people so blind that they:
a) just don't see the mess they make or
b) so stupid that they think you won't notice or
c) think that someone will clean up after them

I work in the hospitality/short term rental holiday home industry where people see neither a, b or c and when you charge them for the additional time it takes over at normal clean for that property to clean up after them. They challenge you through all the legal channels, and threaten you with word of mouth negativity, and also media attention under the guise of customer dissatisfaction. I just stick to the Terms and Conditions of booking and will not bend for anyone, that way I know where I stand when they express dissatisfaction as you have to be consistent. There are no handshake deals as far as I am concerned, and even growing up in the country, you cannot trust anyone (bar one or two ). If you are lending appliances just between friendly channels you also have to beat your head up against the wall for these knuckleheads, and I would personally be reluctant considering its
a) of no benefit to you if they loved the machine
b) insurers will be reluctant to cover you if if something goes wrong under someone else's roof without you being there and
c) just make sure you are covered if you lend your machine and something goes wrong and
d) can trust your friend if something does go wrong (believe me most people are liars and just try to go with the option that will not cost them any money
e) when it comes to money; the friend you thought you had may not be friend at all <full stop>

Ah, that's clever cookie!
How long roughly would you cook it first, and on what number?
Which dough recipe do you prefer?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on June 16, 2011, 06:18:43 am: I use the EDC recipe Maddy. I make 3 pizzas or small ones from it. DH does the cooking and he said it depends on the thickness of the pizza. About 2-4 minutes he said and temperature is fairly high. It just needs to be firm so that you can handle it with topping on it using the paddles.

I use the EDC recipe Maddy.

this recipe is lovely with rosemary and a couple of cloves of garlic *blitzed*

what make is your pizza maker cookie? I have heard there is an Italian brand that is superb and it may be around $300+. We are not huge pizza eaters and so its good to hear what other brands are out there getting good results.

Mmn mmn...JO can you be more specific in your measurement of ingredients -- it looks totally what I am looking for in my Favourites File #2 ;D I want the drumstick!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on June 16, 2011, 03:15:42 pm: CP, here it is, so easy but it was really nice. The amounts of paprika and sambal is what I used and it was perfect for us, just up them if you like it more spicy. :)

CHILLI CHICKEN
1 whole chicken, butterflied (remove the backbone)
2 largish red capsicums
1 red onion cut in quarters
1 tbsp. brown sugar
4 cloves garlic
1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 ½ tsp sambal oelek
3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil (I used light)
salt and pepper

Remove the stalks from each capsicum and discard. Cut each pepper into quarters long ways cutting off any white membranes so all that’s remaining is the capsicum.

Place under a hot grill until skins blister and blacken. Remove immediately to a zip lock bag and seal. Put aside for 10 mins or so. Preheat oven to 190c

Remove capsicums from bag and peel off the skins. Place peeled capsicums into TM bowl.
Add rest of the ingredients (except the chicken of course) and blend to a smooth paste 20 secs/speed 10.

Lay butterflied chicken onto a baking paper lined tray, make sure you use the paper otherwise some of the sauce will stick and burn to the tray.

Pour chilli mixture onto the chicken and use your hands to spread the mixture so it coats the chicken all over on both sides. Allow to marinate for about 15 mins.

Bake for 50 - 70 mins (depending on the size of your chicken) or until the chicken is nice and crispy and cooked through.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on June 17, 2011, 06:01:38 am: Maddy, it wasn't hot, just a bit spicy, if you are making it for your kids, maybe use 3/4 tsp sambal the first time, then you can gauge whether you could increase or not. :)

Very proud to report that we tried the Varoma for the first time and had a success, preparing CP's ginger steamed fish and Asian veg with rice [url][/http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=6031.0url]. I don't have a bamboo steamer so just placed the fish and veg directly into the Varoma. I used sea perch fillets as they weren't too thick and i was worried about getting the timing wrong. The sauce was really nice - this was a winner and will become a regular in our house, thanks CP. Don't know why I was tentative about trying the Varoma, very easy - off to look for tomorrow night's menu in the all-in-one area, and trying to resist the temptation to make something naughty (but yummy) for dessert on this cold wintry Melbourne night!

For the taco bread, I followed the parmesan bread (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4382.0) recipe, just omitting the parmesan cheese & herbs, and then I added 1 1/2 Tblsp. Sonan's taco mix (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5620.0) (will add 2 Tbsp. next time), then topped with tasty cheese and spring onion.

for lunch we had MMs bol sauce with chilli salt added, made with pasta at the end like CCs pasta bolognaise method minus the parmesan cheese and as there were so many leftovers (mainly only me who ate as DS eats like a mouse and DD fell alseep while I was cooking lol)....so i put the leftovers ie 3/4 of it into a glass oven dish and ill top it with either mash and cheese or a cheese sauce and bake it in the oven for dinner with a fresh salad...might even just do monkeyboyzmums cheese sauce and pour it oven and bake until golden...easy dinner!

Making Quirky Jo's fried rice

I did too :) Yummy Jo! and I love the coconut flavour through the rice.

(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/104_5690.jpg)

I cooked 2 pieces of pork fillet in the oven (which had marinated in char siu sauce prior), then added that to the cooked rice and veg.

Post by: maddy on July 01, 2011, 12:07:40 pm: Pizza night.....so I made cajun chicken, with red onions, sour cream & avocado.
For the base sauce, I simply spread light sour cream, and sprinkled with pizza cheese. Was really yum.

:P :P I usually use pita breads, as it's quick & easy and cooks in under 4 minutes with the pizza maker. I prefer a thin base, as we can enjoy the toppings more.
Dough bases I find are too filling, and almost always I feel too bloated after eating them.

I made a chicken pilaf out of the Woolies mag "Fresh" today. It was really tasty and one I would make again.

CHICKEN PILAF
10 strands saffron soaked in 1½ cups salt reduced chicken stock for 30 mins before starting the recipe, then add 1/2 cup white wine and put aside.
600g skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
1 chorizo sliced
1 red onion finely chopped
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 long red chilli finely chopped (seeds and all, it won't make it hot)
4 rindless bacon rashers finely sliced
2 tsp paprika
1 ½ cups long grain rice
1 red capsicum seeds removed and chopped
1 cup frozen peas
3 tbsp chopped cont parsley leaves

Heat a little oil in a paella pan or wide open heavy based pan over med to high heat.
Cook chicken in batches for 4 mins or until golden. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon.
Add chorizo, onion, garlic, chilli, bacon and paprika and cook for 3 mins stirring constantly.
Add rice and capsicum, stir for a minute to coat with oil. Reduce heat to med.
Pour the stock, saffron and wine combo over the rice and stir in.
Push the chicken into the rice mixture. Reduce heat to low and cook (uncovered) for 15 mins or until the rice is nearly cooked.

Add peas and cook for a further 5 mins. If rice is not cooked through add a little more stock and cook until done, (mine was cooked, didn't need extra time).
Season to taste with salt & pepper. You want the rice to be quite dry, it’s not meant to be wet like risotto. The base should be crusty and golden.

Sprinkle parsley over paella and serve with crusty bread.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on July 08, 2011, 11:10:33 am: Chicken, rice and vegetables from the UK Fast & Easy cookbook. They described it by saying 'looks & tastes like a risotto but is cooked in a different way' and although it is served as layered rice, vegies, chicken and sauce poured over the top, it certainly does taste like risotto. Very easy to do & follow - the only tweak I made was to cut the olive oil down from 70g to 40g (some of that is used at the beginning to marinate the chicken for a very short time).

We had roast lamb and baked veggies with gravy. TM didn't help out at all tonight although I did think about making dessert in TM but decided to do that tomorrow as the recipe I was going to make takes too long and I cant be bothered tonight lol.

lol CC, I just felt like something hot to have with some ice cream. I very rearly have ice cream on its own, And I think that having something hot with ice cream makes you feel warm on these cold frosty nights, but ice cream on its own makes me feel even colder (If that makes sense)

Post by: hopefulcook on July 14, 2011, 01:00:54 pm: We had teriyaki beef, but DH decided to help... Popped over to see how it was going and saw kecap mania glugging in - he thought it was mirin - oh dear - he used to be quite a good cook but hasn't done hardly any now I have thermie!!! Think I need to get him cooking more... Anyway, removed what I could see, added mirin and left out soy sauce. Tasted a bit sweet but it was still good.

Then we finished off with Impossible Lemon Pie and salted caramel maple ice cream.

I was tired from a long demo, and hanging around the stables waiting for my daughter... so I just made the old faithful 'chicken & cashews (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5335.0)', but instead of the satay sauce I just added garlic, ginger & some asian stock (from the asian cookbook) to the juices left in the bowl - it was delicious!

Tonight hubby out to a sportsman dinner, so kids voted in pizza.
Little man had his usual ham, salami, and cheese, but my girl and I like to try something different. It was a little naughty, but tasted yummy.

Followed by Thermomixers old fashioned cold pineapple pudding. Although the pudding didn't quite set it was really tasty and something I would definately make again. Actually both recipes will be staying in my collection.

Old el paso ones tonight ;) Left it too late to make my own tonight.
A simple tip to keep them in shape......skewer them with 2 toothpicks at the fold, and then bake them that way with the sauce and cheese. Pluck them out before serving, and they keep their shape nicely.

I made Johnro's Tasty chicken with tumeric rice (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4927.0)

Post by: Twitterpated on July 20, 2011, 11:36:37 am: Maddy, the whole family loved the Risotto. Thanks heaps for posting the recipe.

To everyone else: You've got to give this one a go. I made the satay sauce and added a little chilli as the chillies I used in the sauce were not very hot (we don't like much heat at all but it just seemed to be lacking a little punch). It was beautiful, quick and so easy to make. It's staying on my "I'm too tired and can't be bothered cooking much" list as I now have some frozen satay sauce in the freezer.

I have that kind of tea every Saturday night. I cook every other day and Saturday is my lazy day. I sleep in till hopefully 8am or later and have no set routines (I'm up at 6am 6 days a week). I love Saturdays.
Sunday I need to be up early to take DS 15 to do the paper deliveries and then I usually cook ready for school/work lunches for several hours.

Hi,
just thought I'd start a new thread to see if it's helpful. For those of us not usually organised enough to do a meal plan, but thinking one day ahead / on the day :D

I'm planning to do a stir fry turkey dish tonight (coconut, ginger and lemongrass sauce) in the TMX tonight, with steamed jasmine rice. I only hope that fussy DD1 likes it!
Hi where can I find this sauce recipe or did you make it up? I need a good sauce with chicken

Jo :) :P

Post by: judydawn on July 28, 2011, 05:27:20 am: Using this (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=6104.0) recipe, today we had Hokkein noodles with pork and honey soy sauce made up with the unused portion of noodles and frozen stir fry vegies from yesterday's meal, some pork fillet instead of chicken, leaving out the chilli and oyster sauce and using the small packet of sauce from this (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=6371.0) recipe I had in the freezer - delicious. This is the leftovers, our serves were much bigger.

Post by: maddy on July 29, 2011, 03:59:04 am: We had slow roasted "Dog Bones" last night.....which is hubby's interpretation of lamb shanks.
I popped them on top of some vegetables, and poured over a sauce with red wine/stock/tomato paste/garlic/oregano.

Post by: JulieO on July 30, 2011, 09:06:11 am: Yesterday morning I made a Rick Stein recipe; Lamb & potato curry in my pressure cooker (only 20 mins cooking time), and once cooled put in the fridge and left it to develop flavours until required today. I served over plain rice.

Today I made Fast Ed's rhubarb bread & butter pudding (stewed the rhubarb in the TM) to have after the curry. I only made a half quantity of both recipes and there's till heaps left over. :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on July 30, 2011, 11:56:06 am: Yes CP that's the one, only I halved the recipe. I bought a 1.6kg leg of lamb, got it deboned by the butcher and used the meat from that. I used the TM to grind the cooked onion etc to make the paste. Also I only used 1 deseeded red long chilli, so it wasn't too hot, only 1/4 tsp chilli flakes and 1 tbs (4 tsp) sweet paprika. Remember if you make it that it's English tablespoons (equivalent to 3 tsp) in the recipe. Makes lots of sauce, really nice.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Twitterpated on July 31, 2011, 03:39:56 am: Ice cream, ice cream and more ice cream. Spoilt myself yesterday and bought an ice cream maker (one with a built in compressor) so I'm going to start with the Salted Caramel Maple ice cream that everyone raves about. Oh, okay I'm also making Beef Rendang with pappadums. This will be eaten really quickly so I can get to the ice cream part. ;D ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on July 31, 2011, 06:46:52 am: Yvette, if it was me I would follow the recipe right up until he puts it all into a pot and then in the oven, only for you put it into a slow cooker. The frying off of the onion etc makes for a better flavour IMO. You don't normally need as much water/liquid in a slow cooker, but you don't use much in this recipe anyway so it shouldn't be too watery. Good luck, it's worth a try. :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on July 31, 2011, 09:12:42 am: Had Chookie's KFC chicken tonight. Usually I shallow fry the fillets then finish off in the oven and I always use chicken breasts cut in half horizontally. Today i decided to deep fry as I've heard if the right temp is used it's actually less greasy than shallow frying. I heated the oil to 180C and cooked 2 pieces at once, only took a couple of mins and they turned out the best yet. So crunchy and the chicken was lovely and moist inside. Will continue to do them this way from now on. I made Actifry chips and salad to go with. ;D

Kulaks, do you get much use out of the actifry? I looked at buying one to replace an almost dead deep fryer but couldn't justify the money when I wasn't sure how much I would use it.

Wonder, I'm presuming you are asking me? I was lucky enough to pick mine up at our local electrical store when they were having a sale of all their floor stock. I paid $199 instead of the $349 that they were selling anywhere else. It comes with a recipe book as you can cook other things in it but I really wouldn't bother to be honest, I bought it just for cooking chips because of the attraction of using so little oil. I've found 1 1/2 - 2 spoonfuls (4-6 tsp) works the best. I guess I would only use it 1 - 2 times/month which may not be a lot but I'm very happy with it when I do. I still have a deep fryer also which hardly ever gets used, but again it's there for when I need it (as in the chicken last night).

If you've ever made oven fries, the actifry chips tastes 100% better than them. :)

Post by: CreamPuff63 on August 01, 2011, 02:13:50 pm: Tonight I made the BEST roast I have ever made!!! Cooked "Herb and Mustard Lamb" from the WW pressure cook book, my awesome cheese sauce (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=6120.0) over cauliflower, beans, roast potatoes, carrots and pumpkin, with Best Ever Gravy (http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/node/17267). Didn't like the look or runny consistency of the gravy, and seeing as there was lots of pan juices I made up a cornflour paste and tipped what I thought of the gravy into the pan juice and bubbled and brewed. Wow! for someone who has NEVER been able to make gravy, I really feel so happy cos i have never tasted a roast like it :o :o :o and it was so worth the effort (sorry, this is not a humble moment ;D)

Tonight we're having a large curry from the calendar a few years back and then we can have some leftovers in the next nights bush camp.
We will be in NOrseman and have power the next night so I'll make another casserole (the gourmet one ) and then that will do for the next night we won't have power. We have our generator with us but it is always so beautiful and quiet I won't let DH run it. We have one that will run the TMX with no problems. I'm getting very excited.

An indian Feast -well sort off

Tika paste then made the butter chicken from Indian book
Dopmes lamb organ jos
Chillies naan bread and
Basmatti rice.

Now how do I heat the curries up in the jug to put in the thermoserver?

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on August 04, 2011, 07:04:16 am: I've never done it Hally, I use the microwave. Some people use the varoma to reheat things by steam - you need a casserole dish that will fit into the varoma dish though.
Dopmes lamb organ jos - is that iPad language for Rogan Josh ;D ;D ;) ;)
Enjoy your meal, it sounds great.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on August 04, 2011, 07:14:40 am: Looks like the microwave then while rice cooking. Yes rogan Josh. My iPad turns it in to organ!!!!

If I can get a photo before DH digs in I will send it on to you to post, but it all smells good.

Post by: quirkycooking on August 04, 2011, 09:47:37 pm: Mmmm, delicious!! About keeping the curries hot, my friend made a heap of curries for a curry night and this is what she did: cooked the curries in tmx at midday, put each one into a thermoserver (she has lots of thermoservers because she's held lots of demos for me, bless her!), wrapped each server in a towel, and placed them in an esky. They stayed hot, and when it was dinner time, she opened them up and they were still steaming!! Love those thermoservers! :)

CHICKEN MOLE
1 large onion quartered
3 cloves garlic halved if big
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp ground chilli (used ¼ tsp)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp each: ground cumin and ground cloves
4 tbsp olive oil
400g can chopped toms
3 chipotle chillies in adobo sauce finely chopped (I used 1)
8 skinless chicken thighs halved (or quartered if large)
30g Mexican or unsweetened dark choc coarsely chopped (used Lindt dark choc & almond)
1 cup chicken stock
salt
flour tortillas or steamed long grain white rice to serve

Place chocolate into TM bowl. Chop 3 secs/speed 8. Remove from bowl.
With blades turning on speed 7, drop garlic through opening in the lid.
Add the onion, oregano and spices. Blend to a coarse paste, 3 secs/speed 5. Scrape down bowl.
Add 2 tbsp oil and blend 30 secs/speed 8 until a paste. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.

Place the toms and chipotle chilli into TM. Blend 30 secs/speed 8 to puree. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.

Heat the remaining 2 tbsp oil in pc over med-high heat. Cook the chicken pieces for around 2-3 mins or until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate.

Sauté the spiced onion mixture in the cooker over low-med heat until golden brown.
Add the set aside tomato puree and choc and stir to combine. Pour in the stock and return the chicken to the pan, stirring to coat. Lock the lid in place and bring to high pressure over high heat.
Once stabilised, cook for 10 mins. Release the pressure using nrm or qrm. Transfer chicken to a plate. Cover to keep warm and set aside.

Simmer the sauce uncovered over med heat for a further 5-10 mins until thickened. Return the chicken to the pot and heat through. Season with salt. Serve with tortillas or rice.

I dont eat rabbit, veal, duck, venison and a few more. I stopped eating lamb living in fremantle and seeing all the trucks. Dh convinced me to have lamb and we do once per month. Ds loves fish 'n' chips, but of course they dont come from the sea........ He as a magical pool of "pretend" fish. Nw he loves bacon and hates pigs, gosh dont know what a pig has done to him, anyway they smell etc. On his last school farm visit he apparantly told the pigs he loved bacon, yes he knows bacon comes from pigs, ...but... Even steak doesnt come from cows, well not in his world.

Post by: dede on August 09, 2011, 09:17:11 pm: Just wanted to clarify when I say we ate lamb chops I mean a full grown sheep and when I say I am feeding a lamb I mean a new born lamb. Just want to make sure people know we are not eating a baby lamb because that would be discusting. And we have never eaten a pet lamb, we just couldn't do it. If They are girls they are used as breeding stock and if they are boys we either keep them or sell them. Last years girl lamb is just about to have her own lamb any day now.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on August 10, 2011, 12:44:18 am: Dede, i know your on a farm and its your livelihood, glad to hear that your are eating sheep. I think city girls just like to pick their meat up from a good butcher and really dont like to think about where it comes from...

Would love a good lamb recipe from you, dh and ds love lamb, i like it too, but it can be a bit fatty. I love lamb shanks when it falls off the bone. Yum.

I really do think JulieO's recipe could be done in the TMX completely for those wanting to give it a go and not having a pressure cooker.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: dede on August 10, 2011, 01:57:45 am: I wasn't offended at all I just wanted to make sure people know We don't eat a new born lamb that has died because that is just gross. My DH is a jack of all trades (Butcher, Farmer, Concreter, Truck driver and Shearer)
We actually live in a town surrounded by neighbours and lease a farm not far away from here where DH breeds his sheep. We really cant keep a Lamb here for too long because they are really noisy and demanding so we try to give them back to their mothers or find another mother who has lost a lamb. Lamb no. 2 actually went to a mother who has a single lamb already but it looks like she is going to accept him as well (Ewes don't usually accept another lamb if they only had one that is still alive). I was brought up on a farm and eating our own farm grown sheep, cows, pigs and chooks was just normal. We used to own a butcher shop as well and I know alot of the customers didn't want to think about the meat was once alive. I'm a real animal lover and couldn't stand seeing the meat we eat actually being butchered or I know I would definitely become a vegetarian as well.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Frozzie on August 10, 2011, 07:45:50 am: My point exactly dede.... Oh and just so its out there i grew up on a small farm and we grew our own meat so to speak but it was butchered and prepared by a local butcher then returned in all the cuts...no prOblem with fresh meat just like dede couldnt see it killed then eat it :(

Oh and dede dont think anyone thought you were eating baby lambs :)

Post by: maddy on August 10, 2011, 11:50:53 am: I ended up making dinner twice....as the first one was blerk-ing disgusting! >:(
It was cranberry & pine nut pilaf, with glazed pork.
The picture looked delicious, it sounded delicious.....but it was (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-sick006.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)
Luckily I had the foresight not to cook the pork fillet first, so I was able to turn it into something else.

So, in the end I made Zans 5 spice pork

I made Potato & Leek soup today but as I was making quite a bit I used the TM to prepare the veg, cooked it in the pc, then poured back into the TM in two lots to puree until silky smooth.

I served with slivers of smoked salmon, a dollop of creme fraiche and snipped fresh chives. Was really lovely. :)

Going out tonight to see 'Wicked' so not cooking tonight

Frozzie, enjoy the break. It will be hard the first time you are leaving them but I think it is good for the kids too to have a break from home - did they settle OK for the grandparents? If kids aren't used to being left with others, they sometimes last until bed time then they want their Mum ;)

Looks like your DS is going to have many girlfriends in years to come Hally - better teach him it is wiser to only have one steady girlfriend at a time though ;D

CP didnt take long at all...as soon as we drove out the driveway and all the way back and even at the restaurant and I had a horrible nights sleep too..can you tell Im not usted to being without them! Yes Hally its very hard especially when your used to having them with you all the time! ....but my oh my its sooooooooooooo quiet which I have to say Im enjoying and the not having to pick up after them all day! Plus Im going out to luch with a girlfriend we wil get a massage or something too, have friends coming from paris, having a girls night out and another night with DH!

JD apparently everything was fine and when I called they were in the spa with their grandfather..they had been busy...Im finding it very hard but if they have a good time and it goes well then we will see but I have trouble trusting others with my kids but DH insisted they have a few days away to give me a break. I thnk my mother in law wouldnt say even if the kids were a bit sad as she prefers to say everything is great but I will find out when I talk to them or when they get back on the weekend!!

Thanks girls for the support and Bedlam romance hrrmm..DH is flat out at work and still gets home late since the catching up with girlfriends but we did speak about if it goes well doing it again and actually going away just the two of us which would be so nice!

Stay strong CP and enjoy your night out!

They have had jobs to do but have been more firm about making them do them plus have added a few extra jobs for good measure!!! Have to say so much simpler doing some of it myself!!!!! Still hopefully will avoid strikes later! Good luck with it - I will follow with interest :)

Oh that's no good Dede. I hope the apple crumble is enjoyed. I haven't tried MJ's puff pastry, but I must admit that I rarely make my own these days because DH and kids find it too rich (both the EDC and UK versions). They quite like Pampas Butter Puff Pastry though. ??? :)

I had it on for 9 hours on low from frozen, and it worked well! It was a large piece (our own meat), so it wasn't falling apart for cooking that length of time, but it was cooked.

Nice and simple.....and as I am addicted to the Buderim Ginger Refresher (make it up to ginger beer with soda water), I always have it on hand.

I cook my corned beef in the slow cooker in a bottle of ginger beer and one onion!

I had tried that once, but wasn't particularly keen :-\.....but I really think the ginger beer I chose was questionable (cheap brand, as that's all there was).
Wondering if I should try it 1 more time with a known brand ???

Looks great Maddy could you please post the recipe

Here (http://www.themainmeal.com.au/RecipesInspiration/RecipePage?RecipeID=1189) it is Yvette.
I doubled the recipe (extra for hubby's plate, and some for freezer).....and nearing the end of cooking, the sauce goes nice thick....so I added a little extra water as well to stretch it out ;)
I cooked for 1 1/2 hours.

I did double the beef Yvette....cos hubby is the ultimate carnivore!......but even if you doubled the sauce and kept beef amount same, that would be lovely......who doesn't love lots of sauce.
If you use slow cooker, I would imagine original recipe amount would suffice.

Post by: Halex on September 07, 2011, 11:32:29 pm: Hi Robyn,

I think it is a very rich sauce and it is very different to the bol sauce i made before my tm. I find it suits lasagna but too rich for pasta on its own.

We love it in lasagna and always have 1 in the freezer to make a quick dinner. I do this once every 7-10 days and ds loves it in his flask for lunch at school & dh requests it for lunch regularly at work.

I have not doubled it as it didnt seem to work, woud love to though.

Polenta with salami and three cheeses

Passionflower what polenta recipe do you use? I've only made polenta once in my Thermomix and it wasn't very good :(. I'd like to try again...
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: jkmt on September 09, 2011, 07:38:15 am: Mexican Vegetarian Stack from 'A Taste of Vegetarian'. Haven't tried this before. Made the sauce for it last night, which tasted good. Will probably do a dessert since the TMX will be free, having pretty much finished its job on the main.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: passionflower on September 09, 2011, 08:51:05 am: Katie the secret is to use the butterfly whisk while cooking it. It comes out smooth and perfect.

This is the recipe I use ( I took my own recipe and looked up cooking times and methods. I realised I would never get a smooth polenta if using the blades only so I changed it mid flow and it worked perfectly).

- 300-350 g Polenta depends how thick you want it, we like it fairly thick
- 1200 g liquid (a mixture of water and milk, just water or just milk is up to you, I usually add half and half)
- 2 Tbsp chicken stock paste
-40gr butter to finish (optional)

Add the liquid and stock to the bowl and boil for 12 Min. 100°C Speed 1.

Next insert the butterfly whisk pour polenta through the lid while blades are moving at Speed 2( you will have to make sure all the polenta is incorporated if need be whizz for a few seconds at speed 4(to make sure is evenly mixedwith the liquid) cover the measuring cup with a cloth just in case!!!

Then simply cook for 10 Min at 100°C spoon speed.
a few seconds before finish add the butter if using.
Hope this helps

Overall a great time with great friends and thumbs up for the dishes. :) :)

Post by: JulieO on September 20, 2011, 08:17:16 am: This week starts the 3 monthly clear-out-the-freezer time.. Yesterday I defrosted some tandoori paste that was made in the tm and I added to some minced chicken and made into patties and served on some lovely artisan bread I bought yesterday with salad.

Today I used up some home made beef stock and cauli florets that were in there, which I added to fresh veg, herbs, cannellini beans, bacon, pasta etc and turned it into Hearty Vegetable Soup. Made a huge pot so now waiting for it to cool so I can freeze it in cups that DH takes to work.(he has his own freezer full of meals for him to take to work). :-))

There was too much to make it in the tm, but I used it for the chopping of veg, made the job so much easier and quicker. ;D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on September 20, 2011, 09:45:05 am: Thankyou ;D

I do a clear out every 3 months, so middle to end of Sept/Dec/Mar etc. I always know then when it needs to be done, also it means that nothing in the freezer is more than 3 months old. Once you start to do it it becomes easier some how. :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on September 20, 2011, 09:47:02 am: So h ow long does itntakr? You use up everythng, pastes, stocks, left overs meats etc.

Good plan

Hally :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on September 20, 2011, 10:08:27 am: Yes I do Hally. I have a list of what's in there and sit down and work out meals that I can make around what I have. It means that I still need to buy stuff in order to make certain things, eg tomorrow I'm making Jamie Oliver's Jerk Chicken. I had the jerk cooking sauce frozen, so had to buy chicken this week (as I didn't have any left in the freezer) to use the sauce up.

Other days I'm using up meat and work out what to use it for. I've also got things like cooked cottage pie where I only need to make fresh mashed potatoes for putting on top.

It's a good feeling when the freezers are finally empty, it usually takes 2-3 weeks, but then I can start filling them up again. ;D

Post by: CreamPuff63 on October 06, 2011, 01:02:26 pm: was just about to get some takeaway cos I didn't feel like cooking, but then made Chelsea's Chow Mein (feel a lot better about that after the meal than I would after eating probaby fish and chips). She has done a wonderful job of converting this into a healthy TM meal without using a soup packet like the original recipe - you would never taste the difference.

Frozzie I've had pan fried gnocchi in a restaurant. Its definately worth giving it a try I think you'd need to use a reasonable amount of olive oil. I'm quite sure the recipe would be the same boiled or pan fried.

i love it..prefer it to the regular gnocchi..has that bit of crunch and not so soft...mmmm going to have to give it a go and get around to making some..
Fozzie, I make my gnocchi the normal way, drain it and let it dry a little, then heat some butter in a non stick frypan, fry some onions and then add the gnocchi, let them brown nicely before turning them. I serve mine with a spag bol sauce. Yum

Tonight I haven't a clue, its pouring with rain and I don't fancy the cycle from the pool to the supermarket (its my son's swimming course this afternoon) after being drenched (despite rain trousers and rain coat, both a leaking a bit >:( ) this morning cycling from home, to school, to kindergarten and home again and having to do it again in about 30 minutes (though to the pool instead of home at the end)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: fundj&e on October 12, 2011, 11:30:42 am: In a large fry pan

gently fried a touch of garlic with a touch of oil (start together from cold) maybe 2mins
Then i added the (mental block) not the flower bit 2min ( 1 bunch)
Then add the nap sauce 2min (2 ladles full)
Add the broccolini 2min
Add Caramelized onions 2min (1 large)
Add hot cooked pasta to the pan (i have mine ½ cooked from the fridge i pour hot water over it in a bowl leave for no more than 2min)
Then add Béchamel (enough to make an orange looking sauce (i freeze mine béchamel in small zip lock bags)
Mix just to heat the bechamel

Thats the best i could do JD ;D
Great over grilled chicken
Mine caramelized onions where well done and dry

good luck

Post by: jeninwa on October 12, 2011, 12:19:46 pm: I made the Chicken Tagine with Couscous page 115 from In the Mix,
didn't add the Harissa ( didnt have enough spices and 25g of birds eye chilli is going to make one every hot paste)
or preserved lemon (didn't have any), it was delish. Lots of different flavours. DH thinks it will taste even better tomorrow night.

I was thinking of freezing it for when I go back to work, next week, trying to get some meals in the freezer for those night I can't be bothered cooking.

Post by: cookie1 on October 18, 2011, 05:32:38 am: Wonderful photo again JulieO. Yum.

Tonight is Chicken Madras with rice and probably something green.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on October 18, 2011, 09:30:57 am: No, the recipe isn't hard at all. :)

The stuffed pasta shells freezes well also. Freeze the stuffed shells on a baking tray then put in freezer bags.
No need to defrost they will cook through in the oven.

THREE CHEESE STUFFED PASTA SHELLS WITH A MEATY TOMATO SAUCE – Serves 8
350g jumbo pasta shells

Cook pasta shells for half the cooking time stated on the packet; (7 mins), make sure not to overcook. Drain and rinse in cool water. Set aside.

Stuffing
850g whole milk ricotta cheese drained
250g parmesan cheese, grated, divided in two
65g grated Romano cheese
1 egg
salt and pepper, to taste
12 leaves basil, sliced thinly
1 ½ tblsp chopped parsley

In a bowl, mix ricotta, Romano, half the Parmesan, egg, salt and pepper, basil, and parsley. Stir until combined.
Fill each half cooked shell with stuffing. Place on a tray and either put aside if making ahead, or even freeze at this stage.

Sauce
1 medium onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, crushed (used 4 large)
250g Italian sausage, meat removed from skins and pulled into chunks
125ml red wine
800g can crushed tomatoes
425g can chopped tomatoes
3 tsp sugar
pinch salt
Little chopped basil and parsley
slices of mozzarella

Heat a little oil in a largish pot over med heat. (used sauté pan).
Add onions and cook gently until tender.
Turn up heat, add sausage meat and cook breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. When almost cooked, add garlic and cook for only 20-30 seconds until aromatic.
Add wine and let it simmer for a min or two.
Add toms. salt and sugar, give a good stir and bring to the boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer approx 30 mins stirring occasionally. Remove lid and simmer until it starts to thicken.
Check for seasoning, add basil and parsley and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
Preheat oven 180C.

To assemble, coat the bottom of a large baking dish with sauce.
Place filled shells seam side down on the sauce. Top shells with remaining sauce. Place slices of mozzarella over the top.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Yvette on October 18, 2011, 09:45:10 am: P.S. Julie did you spoon mixture in pasta shells by hand?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on October 18, 2011, 09:57:50 am: Yvette, I've used both pork with herbs and spices and also beef with herbs and spices, both were really good.

You can use a tsp to help put the cheese mixture into the shells or it's actually easier to use clean fingers ;D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on October 18, 2011, 06:31:03 pm: This thread is killing me, had a fantastic meal last night. ;D i have been drooling over all this good food. Good food here is fine dining so costly everynight, however we did find a good pizza place, great pizzas, cheap and cheerful :) maybe tonight or we might fine dine again.

Never want to see burger and fries again, even ds doesnt like them out here.

Julie o that looks great, both dishes.
Could i half the pasta dish, i dont wantto bulk the freezer out again with left overs.

http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Parmesan-Chicken-105912
Grated the cheese and made the breadcrumbs in the TM.The mustard coating was just enough for 3 chicken breasts,suggest that you double it for 6.Had to guess at weight of breadcrumbs so made 100g.This was enough to coat the three pieces and possibly a fourth.
Delicious. :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on October 18, 2011, 10:23:56 pm: Yum Cornish, I've saved that recipe and will give it a try. :D

Hally, yes you can halve the recipe for sure. Even though there's only the 2 of us I always make the full recipe and freeze 2/3 of the prepared pasta shells in 2 separate lots, then on the day I make the sauce fresh and put the frozen shells directly into the sauce, cover with more sauce and bake, no need to defrost the shells first. :)

Thanks Frozzie. ;D

Speaking of Parmesan Chicken have you tried this recipe for "Parmy Chook (http://thermominx.blogspot.com/2011/08/parmy-chook.html)"? If so how do they compare?

I made the Parmy Chook about a month back for parent in laws and it worked out very well.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on October 25, 2011, 10:04:34 pm: Thanks Tarasis, it was nice. Here's the recipe in case you'd like to try it.

BEEF & BLACK BEAN STIR FRY Serves 4
2 tsp cornflour
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp black bean sauce
2 tsp sambal oelek
2 tbsp kecap manis
¼ cup chicken stock (used beef)
1 ½ tbsp peanut oil
750g beef rump steak, trimmed, very thinly sliced
1 medium brown onion, cut into wedges
1 capsicum, cut into 2cm pieces, I used a combo of green & red
1 garlic clove, crushed
2cm piece fresh ginger, peeled, grated
100g cup mushrooms, sliced, I used a combo of shiitake and Swiss brown
3 spring onions, cut into 5cm lengths
rice to serve

Whisk cornflour and soy sauce in a jug until smooth. Stir in black bean sauce, chilli sauce, kecap manis and stock.

Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add about 2 tsp oil. Swirl to coat. Cook beef, in small batches, for 1 to 2 mins or until browned. Transfer to a bowl.

Heat remaining oil in wok. Add brown onion. Stir-fry for 2 mins or until softened.
Add capsicum, and stir fry about 2 mins.
Add garlic and ginger, cook until capsicum is just tender.
Add mushrooms. Stir-fry for 2 mins or until softened.
Return beef and juices to wok. Add sauce mixture. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 mins or until sauce boils and thickens.
Add springs onions, toss to combine. Serve.

Post by: JulieO on October 27, 2011, 11:19:39 am: Yum Johnro, they look wonderful. I too would love to see recipes. ;D

CP, yes that's the one, it was so tasty, this is what I did:

PESTO CHICKEN PASTA WITH PUMPKIN – serves 4
1kg butternut pumpkin, peeled, seeded, cut into 2cm pieces
pkt prosciutto
240g cherry truss tomatoes
400g dried spaghetti
2 chicken breast fillets, steamed whole until tender, then sliced thinly

½ cup olive oil
45g pine nuts
25g fresh basil leaves
1 small garlic clove, halved
65g parmesan cut into cubes
½ cup buttermilk (made from butter I made a while ago that I froze)
Fresh basil leaves, extra, to serve (forgot to add)

Preheat oven to 200°C.

Place pumpkin on a baking tray and drizzle with a tbsp of light olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt & black pepper.
Lie prosciutto slices over the top of the pumpkin and bake for about 30 minutes.

Lightly toast the pine nuts in a non stick frypan. Remove from heat and set aside.

Meanwhile, place cubed parmesan into TM bowl. Grate about 6 secs/speed 8.
Add basil, garlic and pinenuts to bowl. Chop 10 secs/speed 6.
With motor running on speed 4, MC off. Pour oil onto lid and allow to flow into bowl. Scrape into a small bowl. Stir in the buttermilk.

Remove prosciutto from tray onto a plate and leave to cool.
Add tomatoes to the pumpkin and bake for around 15 - 20 minutes or until pumpkin is golden and tomatoes are soft.

Break up prosciutto with fingers once cooled and put aside.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in a pan of salted boiling water. Drain and place into a large warmed bowl.

Pour pesto/buttermilk mixture into the bowl containing pasta. Add chicken and toss well.
Add the pumpkin and prosciutto, and gently toss to coat. Serve topped with the tomatoes and extra basil leaves.

Post by: johnro on October 27, 2011, 11:41:02 am: Vietnamese noodle salad (http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/26975/vietnamese+noodle+salad) is on Taste. Except I used the thai lime and chilli cashews from Woolies instead of peanut. I also put 1 chopped lemon grass stalk in with the noodles while standing in boiling water

Sticky Chicken a bit of a mish mash but it is always a winner -

1 kg chicken thigh can be marinated if time allows in the following ingredients
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup soy sauce
4 - 5 lg garlic cloves and 2cm piece green ginger - whiz in TMX, add the liquid and whiz to clean the bowl. Pour over chicken and stand for whatever time allows. Bake uncovered in a shallow type dish 180 degs until tender and cooked through - about 50 mins to an hour. The sauce is tasty drizzled over the noodle salad.

Cherry Cream Kuchen
puff pastry
500g ricotta cheese
2 tabsp castor sugar
300ml cream - semi whipped or sour cream works as well
2 teasp kirsch or cherry brandy
450g pitted cherries drained - reserve juice
2 tabsp cornflour

icing sugar to dust

Cut each pastry sheet into 1/4 's. Fold 2 pieces in 1/2 and make cuts at 2cm intervals to within 2cm of edge. Unfold to original shape
Place both rectangles on papered baking tray - 220 deg oven until golden
Mix tog ricotta, cream, sugar and tsp kirsch.
Into TMX place cornflour and reserved syrup - combine speed 5 10 sec
Cook 90 degs 2 mins speed 3 - 4. add extra kirsch and cherries and stir reverse speed 1 until combined
Cool completely before spreading over pastry base (I break the pillow so that the cherries and ricotta sit in the well) - top with ricotta mixture.
Place cut pastry on top - refrigerate 15mins - dust with icing sugar

En joy and I hope this makes sense :D :D

Julie thank you for posting that amazing dish!!!!

Made the Butter Chicken from the Indian cookbook but it was too hot, particularly for the missus and made a packaged Cheesecake (Greens which is a brand in the UK) which used to have a wonderful taste 20 years ago but they've "improved" it somewhere along the way it seems and it doesn't taste anywhere near as nice as it used too :(

So yeah, an evening of fails.

Yum Julie thank you too for posting.

Tarasis sorry the butter chicken was too hot, what chillies did you use? We don't find this meal hot just tasty, I use big green chillies as the smaller chillies would be too hot

Woud the marinade work on lamb, then on the bbq ?

I had trouble with the base sticking. I added corn flour to the stone before placing the pizza dough on. Maybe I didn't use enough corn flour. Any help please.

When you roll out the pizza lift the dough and sprinkle flour on the board, place pizza dough back on board then pick up the board and make sure the dough will slide around easily when you move the board from side to side. The flour will allow you to slide the pizza once topped with ingredients onto the stone from your board ( we use a pizza peel - a board with a handle) and you can also sprinkle a little flour on your stone and spread it round before heating it :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: dede on October 30, 2011, 10:52:44 am: Thanks Meagan. We made another 2 pizzas today with much better success. I did spray the stone a little with oil and did what you suggested with the flour and had 2 perfect pizza's that didn't stick. Now the kids have some pizza to take to school for something different to the usual sandwiches. Thanks for everyone's advise.

Post by: JulieO on November 01, 2011, 07:11:51 am: Well it wasn't for dinner as we had these about 2 hours ago, but we are still full after having 3 each so I think we will give dinner a miss. ;D

Anyway I'm quite chuffed as I made semi-dried tomatoes (in the oven, don't have a dehydrator) but they've turned out so nice. They had finely chopped garlic and fresh thyme leaves, salt & pepper sprinkled on top before baking (took 4 hours on a very low oven). I only made a half recipe to try, but am so impressed that I'm going to make more but this time I'm going to try baking in my Easy cook oven see how they go in there doing a double layer. I also made the basil pesto.

So I combined some crushed garlic with some extra light olive oil, brushed over both sides of the bread, then baked in the oven for about 5 or so mins until crispy and golden. Spread with the pesto, topped with pieces of the toms, crumbled feta, torn basil leaves, salt & pepper and then a small drizzle of the extra light olive oil. They were delicious, the nicest I've ever made. My next step is to try making a ciabbata loaf. ;D

We do all our roast meat in the weber, can't go wrong also have a brilliant weber thermometer (should post on shopping thread as everyone should have one) it is wireless you put a skewer part in your piece of meat and set how you want it cooked on the other part which is kept in the kitchen, so you can see how hot the core temp is and it beeps when ready to rest.
I also agree with jD you are brilliant at other stuff so really does it matter

thanks for getting the link Judy.

Glad it worked for you Julie, your photo looks so edible I'm positively salivating. I was planning to make it today, but we went to a Chinese buffet for lunch instead; however I will do it someday this weekend as its just scrummy. So tea today is probably the Wheaten bread I was making at 11pm - 1am last night.

Tomorrow is probably some buttermilk pancakes and soda farls (http://teandwheatenbread.blogspot.com/2008/10/traditional-irish-breads.html). Trying various recipes to find the one that gives me the taste I want.

Please remember that the tablespoon measurements in the recipe would equal 3 tsp here in Oz. I also cut down the sugar to about 2 tsp, and only used 1 red chilli. :)

Yes, I keep making notes as I import a lot of the recipes from here that they are Aus Tbsps.

I was surprised that it was still quite mild tasting with 2 chills, though I partly put that down to the sugar :)

Post by: Halex on November 04, 2011, 10:52:02 pm: Just had a look at the reciepe, love that it serves 2-3, did you put the meat in the thermoserver whilst msking the sauce?

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Twitterpated on November 04, 2011, 11:21:15 pm: JulieO do you have the AU measurements for that recipe? I tried to google but kept coming up with conversions to ml and I would like to try that recipe.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on November 05, 2011, 12:15:14 am: Thank you Hally. No I didn't use the thermoserve as I didn't want the beef to become soggy by putting a lid on it IYKWIM. I just put the meat as it was cooked onto a kitchen paper lined plate, then put the plate into a lightly warmed oven. I always put my serving plates, bowls in a low oven to warm the plates while cooking the food, so it was no bother.

Twitterpated, this is what I did:

CHINESE CRISPY SHREDDED BEEF – Serves 2-3
Have everything ready to go before starting to cook. (These are Australian tablespoons)

3 tbsp cornflour
2 tsp of 5-spice powder (I made up some fresh)
Approx 300g rump steak, sliced thinly across the grain
2 eggs, beaten

Heat oil to 190C.

Make up the batter by placing cornflour and 5-spice powder in a medium bowl.
Make a well in the centre and add the beaten eggs. Whisk with a balloon whisk to form a smooth, lump free batter.

Dust meat with a little cornflour, then add to the batter and stir well to coat beef.

Using tongs, pick up strips of the beef from the batter and drop individually into the hot oil, cook in batches for approx 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Drain on kitchen paper and keep warm whilst making the sauce.

TIP: You can prepare the beef in advance and keep refrigerated until required, then warm though in the sauce when ready.

Sauce
A carrot cut into matchsticks
A bunch of spring onions, cut into approx 1cm slices
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 cm piece of ginger, grated
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped

2 tsp caster sugar
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 ½ tbsp light soy sauce
Cornflour paste (3 tsp cornflour, mixed with 2 tbsp cold water)

In a wok heat 1 tbsp of vegetable or peanut oil.
Add carrot and stir fry for a min or so.
Add the spring onions, garlic, ginger and chilli. Stir fry again for a couple of minutes and then add the rest of the ingredients.

Once the sauce is quite thick, quickly add the beef and stir well to coat in the sauce and heat through. Serve immediately.
(if not too much sauce, add a little water and mix through).

I will add that there's not a lot of sauce, more a coating on the meat and veg. I did add a little water, probably around 3 tbs at the end just to loosen it up a little, and it still had lots of flavour.

Post by: JulieO on November 06, 2011, 05:36:09 am: Sounds like a good idea Tarasis, if all is in agreement. Thanks Judy for looking into this. ;D

I didn't feel like a big meal today, in fact I felt like baked beans on toast :-[ so I decided to try a recipe that i had to make my own baked beans (using a can of cannellini beans) and am quite happy how they turned out. I ended up serving over eggs. :D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mary Brown on November 06, 2011, 10:05:16 pm: Julie O would you mind sharing your recipe for your homemade baked beans ??? My DH loves baked beans and I have always wanted to try making them myself.. :) and yes your photo's are amazing... I can almost smell the beans... :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on November 07, 2011, 02:52:35 am: Mary, no problems, a very easy recipe. My DH loved them as is, but I would like to try for a bit more flavour, so just need tweaking a bit for me, still good though. :)

BAKED BEANS
2 tbsp rice bran oil
1 onion finely diced
3 rashers of rindless bacon, chopped
250ml tomato passata or sugo
½ cup water
1 tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp smoked, plain or sweet paprika (I used sweet, will try smoked next time)
400g can cannellini beans drained and rinsed
3 generous squirts ketchup (or to taste)

In a medium sized pan heat the oil and add the onion and the bacon.
Cook for around 5 minutes until the onion is soft and the bacon is browning.

Add paprika and stir through for about 20 secs or so.
Add the passata/sugo, golden syrup and water.
Stir, simmer and allow to thicken, approx 3-5 minutes.

Once thickened add the ketchup and taste. If you think it needs it, add approx 1 tsp sugar and stir in. Can also add a little water if needed.

Add beans and carefully stir through, allow to heat for a min or so. Serve.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on November 07, 2011, 04:13:21 am: For lunch I made the Chinese Crispy Shredded Beef recipe which JulieO posted her picture of 2 pages back. I did the first step on the stove top but made the sauce in the thermomix. I microwaved the carrot and some celery for 1 minute, forgot to add it into the sauce so mixed it through at the end with the cooked beef. I also used 1/2 a red onion instead of spring onions, 1 bok choy and sambal oelek instead of a chilli. Very tasty recipe, thanks for the link Rob and Julie for her review & posting. Was in too much of a hurry to make some rice but would certainly do that next time.

I made a ladies day yesterday I think, at target. She would have been in her mid 60's, and was asking the change room girl (a young one) if she looked nice in the 3/4 pants she was trying on. She said she had recently lost weight from dieting, and was unsure if the pants were too tight. The young girl said they look nice, but don't go tighter ??? I then commented to her they looked perfect, and made her tooshie look great in them too! (which it did) :D She was so thrilled and she thanked me and floated back to the change room. The power of a compliment is huge :)
Great pic Judy ;)

Home late, so made a quick sweet chili chicken stir fry, with baby corn & sugar snap peas

First time I've made it and my only tweak would be to reduce the dried chillies from 4 to 2. It wasn't over the top spicy hot, but a bit more than what we are used to, loved the flavour though. ;D

Lunch was a poppy seed roll (store bought, Mohnknacker) with a chicken breast marinated in Tikka paste overnight and then grilled. I was going to add mint rittat but didn't have the lemon juice to make it :)

One thing, I def got this batch of Tikka paste right, it was perfectly edible (lovely indeed) without anything to cool it down. There is a little mouth kick but in a good way.

May cook the noodle slice tonight ready for tomorrows BBQ for my sons 7th birthday (or make his cake, not sure which one to do in advance).

No Judy I didn't. I just find it quicker to use the stove top for something like this. I did add the capers and anchovies as in the recipe too. Couldn't taste them as such but I'm sure they added to the flavour.
I'm always on the look out for nice recipes that use salmon fillets. :)

We are having left overs tonight. Yesterday I made Delia Smith's Chicken Pot pie, with some mash and green beans on the side. It was really lovely as the leeks, carrots and herbs were cooked in apple cider for a few mins then the chicken breasts were added and cooked for a few more mins until tender, the cooking liquid was then drained off and reduced to only about 1 1/2 tbs. Not much I know but there was lots of flavour. It was then added to a light cheese sauce along with the leeks, carrots and cut up chicken. Topped off with lovely puff pastry sprinkled with finely grated parmesan it made for a nice dinner and there's enough to warm up for tonight, though I may make chips to go with for a change. :)

I so agree with Frozzie and ACW.... The other day I had alook at all your posts JulieO and you are a very talented cook and photographer. I am waiting for my invite to be your taste tester LOL

Maddy your Chorizo and Capsicum rissotto looks so yum, may have to make this one when DS isn't here as I am sure the chorizo is full of nasties. Or maybe one to try in the school holidays when he doesn't have school to deal with the next day. I am less strict in the holidays as I am more willing to cope with his behaviour after eating the wrong food than his teacher.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Frozzie on November 29, 2011, 12:56:51 pm: I have a similar marinade that everyone loves its also a Honey Soya Marinade..

1 tbspn warm honey (i just use room temp)
80ml of soy sauce
1 tbspn sesame oil
2 garlic cloves crushed
2 tbspns (roughly) of freshly grated ginger

mix all and use to marinate up to 1kg of beef, lamb, porc or chicken..i usually use chicken for at least a few hours...i usually do it overnight .

the marinade can be made up to 3 days ahead and kept in the fridge before adding meat of course..

I whiz up the garlic and ginger in the thermomix then add rest of ingredients and mix up again to combine and its done!

I love reading about all the things we are making from Tenina's Dinner Spinner and the comments. It's a great little 'booklet'.

I love reading them too Cookie! :D So happy that you are enjoying it….now to get the other 40,000 households with a Thermomix and without a Dinner Spinner onto here and buying the book! hahahaha

Tonight we had an Asian Stir Fried Beef Salad, totally without the use of a thermomix at all, (for a job I am doing) and I must say, it was easy, but I felt frustrated about making dressing and marinade in a conventional way! Nice to know I can still cook though, without a TMX!

Post by: JulieO on December 10, 2011, 12:18:40 pm: Thanks Deedub, there's some great recipes in that book, there won't be many that I won't try. :)

Maddy, not hot at all, (we're not big on too much heat). I only used 2 dried chillies which kept the heat factor down, still spicy but not hot. You could just try one or even 1/2 if worried about the kids. I also recommend only using 1 tbs brown sugar and then trying at the end whether you want it any sweeter or not. It's really flavoursome. :)

However I used thermie to make the custard type filling - 3/4 cup milk. 2 tabsp custard powder + 3 tabsp sugar cooked at 90 degs speed 4 until thick - about 3 -4 mins, add 1 can well drained crushed pineapple and pulp 2 pasionfruit - reverse speed 2 - 1 min. Allow to cool and fold in 3/4 cup cream whipped - add to pavlova. I topped with mango and passionfruit - meant to brown some flaked almonds but forgot. :) :)

Finally home and have had a chance to catch up on all of the posts. The slow cooked chilli pork was a definite 5/5 recipe. So tender and very tasty. The company was great and despite the raised eyebrows we had a great time. We did manage to get caught having a little peek on the forum and the DH's said that they knew we couldn't go a day without having a look. So great to be able to talk TMX with someone and am looking forward to doing it again. Now I have an excuse to go to Rocky so will be looking to do it a little more.

BTW the pavlova was awesome. ;D ;D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on December 17, 2011, 03:45:07 am: It just wasn't flavoursome enough for me, though DH really enjoyed it. :)

Here's the sambal recipe, it's from the KitchenAid Ultimate Mixer Cookbook.

Sambal
½ ripe mango
1 ripe avocado
1 spring onion, finely chopped
1 red chilli, seeds removed and finely chopped
1 tsp Thai fish sauce
2 tblsp lime juice
½ tsp sugar
1 tblsp finely chopped fresh coriander
2 tsp finely chopped fresh parsley

Chop the mango and avocado into 6mm dice then add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Set aside until needed.

Judy, I also have a similar recipe that I prefer more, it goes wonderfully with crumbed prawns.

Mango Salsa
1 ripe mango, cut into small cubes
1 avocado, finely chopped
1 red capsicum, finely chopped
½ red onion, finely chopped
1 tblsp fresh lime juice
1 tblsp finely shredded fresh mint (or sprinkle of dry)

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt & pepper.

I par cooked the potatoes in the TM to then sautee on the stove top and steamed sweet potato and green beans in the Varoma. I then pureed the sweet potato with a little butter and a squeeze of honey in the bowl. I completely forgot to add the green beans before taking the photo (dingbat). :-))

It's something we have always wanted for our backyard but never sure how good the cheaper ones are and really don't want to build one from scratch and the expensive ones seem over the top.

Post by: Twitterpated on December 18, 2011, 09:17:11 pm: Wonder I have the Gasmate one on the new deluxe stand. Only had it a week so still testing it out. I made pizzas the first night and they were great. Thought I would try it for roasting yesterday and the chicken was very nice. Thinking Naan bread will be next. If you are looking to buy one don't be fooled into buying the cheaper model with the angled corners, the curved top one is much better. My DH bought me this one for Christmas as I was looking for an oven I can use outside as my oven makes the kitchen too hot in summer. Would have liked to build one but not sure if we will be staying in this house so went with the portable one for now. It can also be used as a smoker but thinking I will mainly use it for breads. Going to try using it for a glazed ham as well.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on December 18, 2011, 10:25:29 pm: Thanks Twitterpated, I've had a quick look and they looks interesting. Being gas I'm wondering if the taste is as good as a wood fired one - I'm assuming not but maybe that's were the smoker box could come into it.

It is our wedding anniversary today but DH hates eating out. I don't really mind as I've had enough of rich food for a bit. Probably pasta tonight.

Post by: faffa_70 on December 27, 2011, 05:46:26 am: Happy Anniversary to you and DH Cookie :-* :-*

I think I will need to be cooking tonight too as the leftovers seemed to have walked from the fridge during the night (would have nothing to do with the fact that ALL teenagers were home last night at all :-)) :-))) Will be something simple here too - over the rich food and the full as a goog feeling ;)

Post by: cookie1 on December 28, 2011, 04:54:15 am: Thank you all for the good wishes. Would you believe after the Christmas rush we even forgot to open a bottle of wine. It was a very quiet evening. We actually discussed where the last 39 years had gone. We were together for 4 years before we married as well. Had a few chuckles over some things. When we first met DH had an old car that often conked out. Now 42 years later nothing has changed, ther car/s he has now is even older than the FJ holden he had. :D :D

Now for DD's birthday on the 31st and we can settle down for a while.

We decided to have an indian night so I could try out naan in my new pizza oven. We had beef vindaloo, bombay aloo, red lentil dahl, tandoori chicken, coconut chutney, peanut chutney and of course naan. Followed it up with a mango and coconut kulfi. Just as I got it all on the table the hordes hit and I didn't manage to get a photo. Will post reviews instead.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on December 31, 2011, 10:27:30 am: Tonight I made a really tasty meal using a Nigella recipe. It's called lamb with rosemary & port. It was so simple and quick and yet tasted so good, basically olive oil and worc sauce mixed together and smeared over the meat, which was then cooked in a frypan until done to our liking. While it was resting, added a knob of butter to the pan, added some chopped fresh rosemary, let that cook for a min, then added a crushed fat garlic clove and then 3 tbs port and the juices from the meat. Allowed it to sizzle and reduce down for a min then drizzled it over the meat. Was really good with a baked potato and vegies. :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on January 01, 2012, 06:44:41 am: Yes it does sound delicious, I particulary like a meal that one of our local bistros serve; chicken breast stuffed with camembert, served with lemon pepper butter.(http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii26/ragdoll128/droolsmiley.gif)

Today I made a recipe from a book received at Christmas called Pasta for the family. The recipe I think is called Spinach Fettuccine served with spinach sauce and roast tomatoes.

Instead of using shop bought spinach pasta I made my own. I did cook the sauce on the stove top and then blitzed in the TM to create a lovely smooth green sauce which was mixed with the cooked fettuccine and then served with roasted roma toms. Was really good, much nicer than what the photo suggests. :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: fundj&e on January 01, 2012, 06:52:16 am: that looks very nice Juile , i was given a bag of fresh spinach today, now i know what to do with it . may i ask how much Spinach you used per 100g of flour?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on January 01, 2012, 07:10:22 am: For the pasta, I used 70g spinach leaves to 300g flour. Make sure the leaves are dry then blitz with the flour first to create a lovely green flour. To this I then only add 2 large eggs and 3 tsp extra light olive oil to make the pasta. Today because it is so warm I found I needed to add a few drops of water for it to come together. If you would like the sauce recipe, please let me know, it's no trouble. Was very nice. ;D

Post by: deedub on January 01, 2012, 08:52:44 am: Spaghetti Bolognese from the EDC - a bit bland compared to what I'm used to, but my version takes over 2 hours to cook on the stovetop which did not appeal on a hot day! Texture & consistency was great, will just have to add a bit more flavour next time, maybe some stock paste?

Post by: Frozzie on January 01, 2012, 10:17:51 pm: thats the one we used tonight too twitterpated..i quite like it..jamie olivers pizza base...makes alot though...you get 8 decent sized pizza bases out of it...has a nice crust on it...miam miam and its quick..it only took 30 mins to double in size ;D

i made half of the pizzas and with the rest i just spread some tomato sauce on the base and parcooked them ready for a quick pizza when we are in a hurry...will freeze them..
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Twitterpated on January 01, 2012, 10:29:59 pm: Think it's the best out of all the ones that I have tried. Not really thin and crispy but not really doughy either. The edges puff a little but the middle is just the right amount of dough for me.

Rested the chicken while I added chopped fresh tarragon and 3 tbs cream to the pan juices, heated that through, added bit more tarragon then spooned over the chicken. :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: fundj&e on January 10, 2012, 11:08:44 am: my Lasagna recipe is a very simple one CC
the KISS method ;D
for the bolognese sauce

1 kg of mince
2.55 of tinnd tomatoes + 1/2 of that can of water
about 2 onions i used onion confit so i didnt add any oil
4 bayleaf
thats it, no herb or spices not even basil :o

I cook my sauce for about 3 to 4 hours on the stove top , this sauce i made in the slow cooker so about 7 hours
its a very watery sauce

then i add a double batch of EDC bechamel sauce to the bolognese sauce, some times i cheat and just add cream or sour cream ;D i have not cheated since the TM

2pkts of Lasagna sheets (500 grams )
mozzarella cheese
parmesan cheese optional i use it when i forget to add salt to the sauce :-))

A new combination he is trying out on family and friends before making it to sell in his shop. (He owns a small licensed abattoir and butcher shop, a rare thing today here in the states.)

I'm cooking yet another pot of beans - these in the slow cooker, Organic great northerns. And I plan to cook some greens with Savoy cabbage to up the vitamin content of the meal. Another neighbor who is currently on her own as her men are off on a hunting trip, will join me for dinner.
I'm also going to bake a batch of cornbread.

Post by: hools003 on January 13, 2012, 07:41:42 am: Decided to make my own pasta and pasta sauce and made spinach and ricotta cannaloni. In the fridge waiting to be chucked in the oven later. Dinner....... sorted!!
Won't be needing dinner too early as there was sauce left and as there was pasta dough left too, I made some fettucine. It was so nice, DH and DS7 and myself had some and DS said he really enjoyed it!!
I had some what I thought was ricotta I picked up in IGA the other day on special, had to be used by today. Went to open it and realised it was in fact QUARK! not bad for 2 bucks each but I needed RICOTTA. Anyway, dug deep into the freezer and came up with the ricotta I needed.. Phew!
I'll just have to make some cream cheese with the quark. At least it was cheap.

Post by: Rara1 on January 14, 2012, 11:25:47 am: My mum and i were given some zucchini flowers.
My mum found this recipe (not sure where) yesterday which I made for dinner tonight,

RISOTTO AI FIORI DI ZUCCA

300GR RICE
1 ZUCCHINO
10 FLOWERS
40 GR OIL
1 ONION
½ MC WHITE WINE
660 GR WATER
1 STOCK CUBE
BUTTER AND PARMIGGIANO TO TASTE

WITH THE BLADES MOVING AT SPEED 6 PUT THROUGH THE ONION
ADD THE OIL AND FRY 3 MIN 100* SPEED 1
ADD THE ZUCCHINO AND THE FLOWERS CUT INTO PIECES
COOK 3 MIN 100* SPEED 1
INSERT THE BUTTERFLY ADD THE RICE THE WINE AND TOAST
2 MIN 100* SPEED 1
ADD WATER AND STOCK CUBE AND COOK 16MIN 100* SPEED 1 WITH THE MC ON THE SIDE
THE LAST 2 MIN ADD THE BUTTER AND THE PARMIGGIANO

I COOKED THE RICE AS THE PACKET SAID WHICH WAS 13MIN AND LEFT IT FOR COUPLE OF MINUTES
IN THE BOWL

The only thing I did different was chop the zucchini for 5 sec on speed 5 (kids don't like chunky zucchini) and added about 20 zucchini flowers. Also added salt and pepper and used my own stock. I cooked my rice for 15 min.

Post by: meganjane on January 15, 2012, 11:41:47 am: We have a choice tonight because I made three casseroles for DS No 1. He's working for a farmer who's still harvesting. We're going away tomorrow and he'll be here on his own. Working days are extremely long, sometimes 16 hours or more, so he has no time to cook.

I made Spaghetti Bolognaise, Mild Chicken Curry and Savoury Sausage Casserole. None in the TMX, but much of the prep done in it. One was slow cooked in the oven, another in the slow cooker and the other on the stove. In between I made CP's Chocolate Peppermint Slice, my Smartie Biscuits and 2 dozen of my Pasties. Whew! I'm exhausted and enjoying a red wine right now... ;D

Made cannelloni for the first time tonight, but the end result wouldn't have looked great on screen! Had fun assembling all the components though and the cannelloni tasted great.
This was a real homegrown dish. My sons helped me with the pasta sheets. My youngest made the pasta dough using TMX... and duck eggs. Chooks have stopped laying :) This morning we picked tomatoes, basil, thyme and silverbeet for the sauce and filling. I also used yogurt and ricotta made with goat milk from my last couple of milking sessions. Very satisfying dish at all levels!

Not much cooking here lately as I am too busy with dad and the business. Looking forward to a day at home cooking tomorrow. Hopefully I will find some cheap bananas and other fruit in Coffs today, so I can whip up some new delights.

Shame about the duck eggs. I remember a friend telling me he could only have them in cakes too, as he had trouble digesting them when they weren't cook thouroughly :-\

You might get a few mangoes from Coffs. My hubby is working over there this week and our boys are sure to help him unpack his car when he comes back!

Chelsea which wraps did you make? I made jos a while back but they were a bit crunchy.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on January 19, 2012, 07:40:07 pm: Chelsea ill be interested in which wrap recipe you used, ive tried them a few times in the past and either ended up in a huge mess with them sticking too much while rolling very thin, trouble getting them into the pan, too much flour when cooking (to stop the sticking problem), and very crunchy once cooked.

how long did you cook the chicken for maddy to keep it so moist?

The chicken was marinated in olive oil, crushed garlic and lemon thyme, wrapped each breast in 3 slices of prosciutto, then each breast was wrapped tightly in glad wrap wrap and sat in the fridge for several hours.
Pan fried each side in olive oil - 3 minutes per side, then cooked in the oven for 10-12 minutes on 190c. Cover with foil and rest 5-10 minutes.

Tonight we're out to Mexican for hubby's birthday.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on January 25, 2012, 11:32:03 pm: Hi Maddy,

No wasn't overly hot at all as I used the long thin chillies instead of the Birdeye ones stated in the recipe (wasn't going to go there!). I did remove the seeds from half of them too but I could quite easily have left more in as it was quite mild with only a slight bite. The roasted capsicums gave it a nice flavour too.

Once I've used it up I will make the recipe from HO that Faffa kindly typed up for me and compare the two. :)

Anyway I thought, pasta is always good, so it was creamy tomato and salami( bacon) fettucine ( penne) and vegemite spaghetti with the addition of bacon. Also made 4 medium garlic pizzas. All demolished. Verdict- yum! First time making vegemite spaghetti so was a bit worried!
Now DS14 is asking what's for dessert- thinking maybe golden syrup cake which I made earlier and caramel custard! We will see.

ended up having left overs and eggs cooked in a nap sauce

The only changes I made was used Camembert instead of Brie and macadamia nuts instead of walnuts because that's all I had in the pantry.
Made a vego version as well (no chicken ;))
This was delicious.

The chicken penne was an adaption of this simple avocado & bacon fettuccine (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=7696.msg108629#msg108629)

I just added chicken a little before the bacon was cooked, and added the semi dried tomatoes when avocado was added.

I then made a Cobb loaf tweaking the recipe a bit and am very happier with that. :)

I then made our dinner using the last lot of fresh mussels I bought a few days ago to make into Thai Green Chilli Mussels, which I served with rice and crusty bread. :)

Post by: judydawn on February 08, 2012, 11:13:54 pm: I feel the same way about sausages maddy and stand for ages looking at all the varieties available. One look at the fat content is enough to make me move on but when DH orders sausages and mash for lunch at a hotel, you realise he loves his sausages and you must cook them more often. Who goes out to eat sausages, I want something I don't cook much at home when I eat out ??? Having said that, your meal does look tasty.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on February 08, 2012, 11:20:51 pm: Maddy your sausages look great, they dont look like sausages.

Sausages, not a fan either. Kids love them!!!

When we have a bbq I often throw a few on and they always get eaten. DS loves sausage sandwiches for his school lunches.

I dont mind a spicy sausage & I love chorizio.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on February 08, 2012, 11:23:22 pm: Hally, as soon as I see a recipe has chorizo in it, I move on :-)) What is it about this sausage that makes it so popular, is there much fat in it, eg when you cut it after being cooked, are there blobs of fat or is it nice and smooth tasting and looking.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on February 09, 2012, 12:10:03 am: My fav way is to slice it thinly, bbq couple of minutes, serve up with lime wedges squeezed over.

I think its the spicyness/ hotness, its just yum.

I had an entree at the rockpool with it, loved it :P

Sorry Tasty I've just seen your post. Thankyou for your comments :D

Yes I try and take them outdoors when I can, easy enough during the warmer months, but in winter I do them inside under lights.

I have a wrought iron table on the front porch that I use. My DH put together a few wooden tops in a rustic fashion that I place on top of the table, I tend to use the cream one the most though. ;D

Delicious looking dinner Maddy. :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on February 09, 2012, 04:58:35 am: Judy if I'm using chorizo (which isn't often) I put it in a non stick frypan and cook it up to lose some of the fat. Possibly losing some flavour but too bad.

I've found a butcher near us who makes the most beautiful barbecue sausages. We hadn't had them for at least a year or two, now we have them once a month.

Post by: meganjane on February 09, 2012, 11:52:11 am: BBQ tonight, but I boiled eggs in the TMX and covered them in a yummy curry mayonnaise for one of the salads.

The EDC says for hard boiled eggs, to cook 4 eggs for 14 minutes at Varoma, but they weren't hard boiled (I used a little egg boiling doovey that goes dark when eggs are cooked), so I had to leave them in the water for another 5 minutes. I used almost 2 litres of water as I wanted them covered. The book says to use 500g at speed 1. This seems like they're steaming, not boiling.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Tasty on February 09, 2012, 12:32:29 pm: MeganJane - I have recently made hardboiled eggs using the EDC method and it worked for me. The steam actually cooks it so it doesn't need to be sitting in water. I found it hard to believe when I first read but did it anyway and it worked!

For dinner tonight we had Tenina's Salmon with Orange Relish. Ok but probably won't make again. It is a quick recipe though.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Tasty on February 09, 2012, 12:53:56 pm: JulieO - I thought that might be the case. I find my photos turn out better if I am near natural light too. Sometimes however it is dark by the time dinner gets on the table. I like your 'tabletop' too - great touch! Your food styling is impressive too and the food always seems to look so good!!

Our fave pizza is Barbequed Chicken: spread a pizza base with a mixture of tomato pasta sauce and barbeque sauce; sprinkle with grated cheddar (10 secs, Speed 7). Top with shredded cooked chicken, thinly sliced mushrooms and more grated cheese.

I'll try it next time with only 500 g water.
I just drop the basket into a bowl of cold water to cool them down quickly.

We had rissoles cooked on the barbie. Sautéed onion and bacon in Thermie and added it to the mince with tomato sauce, Worcestershire and herbs. I put rice flour in this time and they stayed together really well served with gravy with an addition of a spoonful of tomato relish and salads. Yum!

I usually do batches that are much too large for the TMX but I had dug up a few plants last week and rather than bury the extras again, I decided to try this experiment.

After I have either success or failure, I will report back.

I posted this in the wrong topic. Meant it for "What are you cooking today?"

After making the entire meal in just over 30 minutes and all made in the TC, I have lost all chance of getting the New Wave 5 in one I have been eyeing off.
DH plated up and saw the rice cooked in TC... I hadn't done it before..
This was the main reason I was using to get the 5in1.. We need a new rice cooker. Well I wanted one. LOL..
And he enjoyed the meal so much I think any chance of eating out went out the window as well.
The pic is the amount he served for himself, And he would have gone back for seconds..

Quirkycooking.. This gets a five star rating. Perfect in every way.
Tho I did leave out the coriander and used more chillis

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: happyexpat on February 22, 2012, 03:41:26 am: Here's what I whipped up for dinner last night

it was delicious. ...almond and parsley encrusted chicken with lightly steamed asparagus, broccoli, carrots and zucchini, deluged in a tomato and mint sauce. Followed up by a small serving of almond cream. (For any diet controlled diabetics who are interested, my blood sugar reading was 6.1 an hour later...and no way did I feel deprived!)

Put two handfuls or thereabouts of almonds in the TC/TM and turbo pulse. add a good washed (and spun in a salad spinner) handful of parsely, salt and pepper and pulse until mexture looks like coarse breadcrumbs. Put crumb mixture in flat bowl. Rinse the jug and put enough water in so you can sit the steamerbasket on top with no water in the bottom of the basket, but don't put the steamer basket in yet.

Cut the chicken breast vertically to make three even strips. Coat in beaten egg and press the almond mixture onto the outside of the chicken. Set in Varoma top tray and put on for 12 minutes varoma setting, Set going. Chop vegetables (zucchini, broccoli, carrot into nice pieces, not too big. (see Picture) Mix a can of diced tomatoes with a generous teaspoon of dried mint and put it all in a glass (heatproof) in the steamer basket. Cover the glass with a little bit of foil. (I use a glass candle holder from Ikea...they are heatproof and thick!) Add carrots around the edge of the steamer basket not in the sauce. When TC/TM stops purring, , remove from jug and place on bench.

Put steamer basket into jug. Put varoma on Jug. Arrange zucchini in bottom layer with broccoli on top. Put top tray with chicken back in Varoma. Lay asparagus on the top. Steam on varoma setting for another 10 minutes. Heat plates in microwave.

BE CAREFUL OF THE STEAM _ ALWAYS OPEN THE TOP LAYER AWAY FROM YOUR FACE! Check that chicken is done, avoiding the ravenous crowds that have gathered in light of the impending meal. Carefully Lift the glass full of sauce out of the steamer basket, it will be extremely hot. Remove foil and stir it. Serve, arranging attractively and pouring the stirred tomato mixture onto the vegetables. Enjoy with good company.

Hopefully the pic is in here...if not I'll try to add it later.

I used about 2 heaped teaspoons....I'd say the flavour was delicate, not overpowering at all. Will add more in next time.....but will have to 5 x the garlic paste quantity next time I make it.......I use it in lots of things!

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on March 01, 2012, 12:03:37 pm: Yes a great way to use roast meat. I think it was actually economically very good. 1.5kg beef topside. Meal for 3, sandwiches for 2 then shepherds pie for 3-4 meals.

Chopped beef up to small size, chopped in tm.

Fry pan,
1 onion sauted, Added carrots par cooked from microwave
Added herbs, beef, beef stock, cornflour, worctershire sauce
Cooked for 15 - 20 mins
Then peas, cook off

1 kg ptatoes in tm, mash,
Put all in oven, yum

Sounds like it will be a very long 6-7 weeks. You need a scooter that you can sit on (Like the stools hairdressers use sometimes)
How much of your leg is in plaster? I would go crazy with my movement so restricted.
I may need surgery soon on my back to fuse two vertibrae and I am dreading it
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: dede on March 05, 2012, 07:36:18 am: Only up to the knee Rosie.
The hair dressers stool sounds great.

I decided to do some framing today but I couldn't stand on one foot for that long so I hopped back inside and grabbed the other kitchen stool and hopped, moved, hopped, moved, hopped, moved, hopped, moved until I got the stool in my workshop, then collapsed lol. Made life a lot easier.

While I was sitting peeling veggies and preparing tea I decided to peel some apples to make an apple crumble as well.

Only 6 weeks 4 days to go.......sigh

If so, you can put a cushion on a chair seat and "stand" with some of your weight on your bent knee. I used that method a lot when I had my problem and sitting would be too awkward.

Yep I can. Will try this as well. All these suggestion certainly help. I fractured my leg and was in plaster when I was about 13 and cant remember it being this difficult :). But I guess 26 years later things have changed a little ;)

Dede do you let it sit for about 10 minutes after you have taken it out of the oven before you cut and serve it? I could never get it to happen like you until someone told me that tip. Not a problem now ;)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: dede on March 06, 2012, 07:17:50 pm: No Faffa I usually serve it straight from the oven. But next time I will wait 10 minutes and see how we go.

Post by: andiesenji on March 07, 2012, 06:58:19 am: I made the "standard" mushroom risotto in the TMX to have with oven "fried" chicken thighs and at the very end of the risotto cooking, I dropped in some preserved lemon - about 2/3 of one (all I had left in a jar I had put up just before I went on my Christmas trip.)

The flavor was just incredible.

I most often use the preserved lemons in tagines, mostly with chicken, and it is an important ingredient. The fact that it took the risotto to a new level is a real bonus.

Andie, is it easy to preserve lemons?

Very easy, all it takes is lemons and salt and time.

This is the "classic" method. (http://leitesculinaria.com/7073/recipes-preserved-lemons.html)

and this page (http://www.putsup.com/2009/05/glamorous-lemons-preserved-lemons.html) has a different method (I don't care for it) but also has a recipe below for preserved lemon compound butter which is amazing on grilled fish.
I can't eat seafood but I like freshwater fish - trout usually on its own but I also like catfish and when it is finished with this compound butter at the table, it is heavenly.

I also sometimes add a whole (chopped or thinly sliced) preserved lemon to onion confit - caramelized onions to add a bit of piquancy.

Post by: Rara1 on March 07, 2012, 01:41:45 pm: I would love to make my own preserved lemons. Last week the only lemons I could find were imported from America :-\

Tonight I made shredded chicken satay with steamed rice, broccoli and cauliflower.
http://www.stephberg.com/?p=304
Instead of 1 tbsp of spices I used 2 teaspoons and only had 600g of chicken. Chilli was left out completely.
Miss 11 gave it an A-. She said next time add potatoes, carrots and pumpkin to the chicken.
Miss 9 gave it a big fat F. She kept eating it though and the rating went up to a B-. She said the seeds needed to be chopped up more.
Hubby thought it was very nice.

I will type it up just in case somebody may like to try it, they are delicious.. Well they were when I was a kid... Many moons ago.

Mince left over lamb roast
Grate a few potatoes
Add curry powder to your own liking
Mix in an egg and flour to make a mixture that will hold its shape when formed into fritters

Shallow fry until brown. The potato on the outside goes nice and crisp.

That is the only way I knew how to eat fruit cake until I was well into adult hood lol.

Always grew up with cheese and jam on toast (especially apricot for me lol) and have cravings every now and then for it still oh and of course you can't go past vegemite and cheese (though not promite, that just doesn't cut it!) I love corn thins, vegemite, avocado, pepper and cheese for lunch :D

We always had cheese with our fruit too, apple and cheese is a fav with me, can't get my kids to eat it though lol. Makes a really filling, healthy snack.

I have been too tired to do much (DS 7 is missing my menu plans on the door!!) but DH has been fantastic and cooking meat and salads or veg for dinner most nights - bless him as he is up at 5am each morning for work. Am just about ready for some good meals for a change now so will have to menu plan and get the kids helping I think, though the 3 older ones generally aren't home until nearly dinner time :-))

When the injected me with steroids around my tendon they put bandaids on because I was bleeding a little.

DH has a batchelor friend coming over who usually eats out alot (all paid for by work, but ends up eating pizza cos he can't be bothered sitting alone in a restaurant/cafe). Think he enjoys coming here and eating a homecooked meal for a change.

Made a light, lovely salad tonight using a couple of smoked chicken breasts sliced thinly.

I roasted a large beetroot earlier and had slices of that with salad leaves, little wedges of radishes, halved and sliced cucumber, halved cherry toms and thinly sliced red onion.

Very simple but it was exactly what we felt like. Also made the Vietnamese dressing (Dinner S) to drizzle over.

Served with Hally's version of No Fuss bread to mop up the lovely juices.

I then baked the remaining spiced plum pastry that was in the freezer (Tenina's blog) which finished off the meal perfectly. :D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: CreamPuff63 on March 29, 2012, 03:10:02 pm: I made Crispy Roast Chicken breast and Proscuitto p72 from Nico's book, and Colcannon p15. I didn't buy chicken breast with the skin on (not sure if I've ever seen it) and thought the chicken was nice but dry - skin would've helped to keep the moisture in. The Colcannon I can honestly say that I didnt really follow his recipe as I made mashed potatoes as per EDC not by baking in the oven. I am sure it would have been lovely had I done this but after work I really could not be bothered. The others raved about it and wolfed it down, but being my harshest critic the chicken was dryish and the Colcannon could have been better if I had put more love into it. (*yawn* too tired)

And another old nurse tip is to use stainless steel soap bars or even stainless steel scrub thingies . Works a treat as does putting a stainless steel,scrub thingy into the dishwasher permentally to avoid smells. That is the best. I have been known to rub my smelly hands on stainless steel anything to be rid of fish and garlic smells.

Post by: dede on April 03, 2012, 09:26:23 pm: Fundj I'm in a cast on my leg for 7 weeks (only 2 weeks 2 days to go now)
I tore my Achilles tendon along time ago and it's not healing and keeps tearing. So the doctor is forcing my foot to rest by being in a cast. Once this one is fixed then the other foot will be done as well.
Oh and if this dosnt work then surgery is the next step.

Fingers crossed it works. :)

Post by: JulieO on April 04, 2012, 09:32:26 am: Made a recipe from Jamie's Great Britain: Guinness Lamb Shanks with potato & (supposedly celeriac but couldn't get one, so used a turnip) mash and steamed carrots and green beans.

Made the mash and steamed veg in the TM and my PC for the rest. Supposed to take 3 hours cooking in the oven; took 30 mins in the PC, the meat was falling off the bones.

Was delicious and I was so surprised to find that the potato & turnip mash tasted so good! :o

I served on a platter so we could help ourselves. :D

Post by: Rara1 on April 04, 2012, 02:39:18 pm: Even though I don't eat meat your meals always look so delicious that I am tempted in trying them Julie!

Tonight I cooked Tenina's stuffed and steamed chicken rolls from FFS
The chicken steamed for 30 minutes and turned out a little dry (that's what miss 9 said) so next time I will steam for 25 minutes only.
Salad was red and white cabbage with a carrot chucked into TM with salt/pepper/oil and vinegar chopped for 5 seconds on speed 4. Gotta love MR T salads!!!
For me, I had pasta with left over pesto...yum.

Also made my triple choc muffin tops for morning tea tomorrow

Post by: KerrynN on April 09, 2012, 01:16:07 am: Hi Gert,
Where would I find that cookbook? I just did a quick google search and came up empty.
We like Roo in our house, not the least reasons are the lower cost and lesser environmental impact compared to beef.
And who doesn't like a new cookbook?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: dede on April 09, 2012, 01:24:20 am: I was brought up on kangaroo patties, yum. I want DH to go out and get a few for me. We need to buy a good mincer though to mince the roo meat. To sinewy for the TM to deal with.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: gertbysea on April 09, 2012, 01:34:05 am: Dede first mentioned it on the forum and Helene at superkitchenmachine.com has just had a contest for a freebie for it. I think Quirky Jo has mentioned it as well so maybe your consultants knows more. It was also mentioned on the UK. Thermomix site. No doubt HO will make it hard to acquire for whatever reason but in any case all the recipes are already on the web. You can find the kangaroo meatball recipe on the Australian Thermomix web site I am sure. In any case you don't need one as you have your spag bol recipe.

The Spainish and Germans are talking about it and I saw one mention somewhere of the Polish talking about it. It isn't a secret.

Post by: faffa_70 on April 09, 2012, 02:39:17 pm: it was ok, nicer with the whole spices ... I used 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon as I was out of sticks and didn't change anything else as I wanted to get a benchmark. We think we will try and reduce the spices that will be ground by about a quarter next time and see how it is. We love this dish, just they fuss about the whole spices in their meal :-)) :-))

Oh and the chicken thighs just fell apart ;D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: KerrynN on April 14, 2012, 11:46:59 am: Did a conversion of one of those Symple recipes - Sweet and Spicy Lamb. I think I cooked the meat too long (could have used a cheaper cut and cooked longer though I guess) and it looked bad because it used evaporated milk which curdled. The taste was OK but I think I will need to try it again before posting the conversion.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on April 14, 2012, 11:55:20 am: Add a bit of cornflour to the evaporated milk next time Kerryn - that should prevent it curdling. She has some nice, healthy recipes and they always go down well on the forum for people watching their calorie intake.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: KerrynN on April 14, 2012, 12:13:08 pm: JD it already had cornflour, perhaps not quite enough? I was thinking that next time I would swap the coconut evaporated milk out for real coconut milk but I know it won't have the same allure to the calorie conscious. I will give it another go though. It reminded me a bit of our curried sausages which I can't happily eat anymore, but is one of the kids favourites, so this might be a good replacement.

Post by: EmeraldSue on April 17, 2012, 02:18:40 pm: Tonight I made lasagne. I made the Ragu last night - chopped all the veges in my Thermo Chef and cooked it in my pressure cooker. We ate it with pasta, and I had half the sauce left over. I used the leftovers in my lasagne, and made the white sauce in my Thermo Chef. I had half a cooked and puréed cauliflower in the freezer, so I added it to the white sauce. It was delicious.
I made a chocolate hazelnut self saucing pudding with candied orange peel. I converted the recipe on the fly. It was really yummy, but next time I would do it differently .

Hally, I think your photo of Sutton Hoo Chicken Escalope looks better than the original - it looks healthier somehow without the breadcrumbs. In fact it almost looks steamed. Great effort.

I've made spicy parsnip soup for tea.

Added some leftover gravy to liquid and thickened with cornflour.
Delicious!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on April 20, 2012, 01:33:52 pm: Aww thankyou :D

It tasted especially good as I added a good dollop of the caramelised garlic paste to the sauteed carrots and onion before adding to the mince (once cooled). Really added something. :D

We had TM rice, Lamb Rogan Josh, Beef with cashews, vegetable stir fry with noodles.

It was really nice, it felt like we had ordered a takeaway, plus it was all home made & yum.

I am going to do this mre often, as one of the nice things about takeaway is the different dishes.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on April 23, 2012, 12:26:34 pm: JD it wasnt that hard.

Made rogan josh sunday in slow cooker, tm rice easy easy, beef with cashews easy stir fry, noodles in water & veggies done in TM & finished off in wok, tossed with noodes in TM server.

We have frozen left ver rogan josh, we are going to do these meals every fortnight. So now I have the curry, rice easy, veg & noodles easy, so just have to make a chicken chineese dish next time ;D ;D

So so nice & easy ;D

Like the name Dede homeaways :)

i dont think u can hire them tasty, just keep an eye out when on special, i have seen them for $19.95 even if u use it 4 times a years its worth it. not just pasta, i use it for naan bread 2 ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: meganjane on April 23, 2012, 12:48:44 pm: Maybe buy a pasta maker with a couple of friends and share it?

We had EDC Hungarian Goulash. Delicious! Cooked some pasta in the basket while steaming beans in Varoma.

I used veal and it cooked in about 35 minutes. I'd make this one again, but would perhaps add some sour cream at the end.

JD - Thanks had a read through. It's intriguing if a recipe has an unusual name . . .
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on April 23, 2012, 10:47:22 pm: Tasty,

Pasta machine. Mine is used all the time. Once you make your own pasta you wont want dried or even "fresh" pasta.

My machine has a lifetime warranty & it gets a god work out.

I do still buy pasta for a quick kids pasta bake or mac n cheese, or kids dinners.

You can make lasagna sheets, fettucini, tagliatlli (sp) spghetti, ravioli, any type of pasta pouches, its endless & lots of fun.

DS 8 loves to roll it.

Wasn't sure how they were going to turn out so thought I'd make them early and if any good will reheat later. Oh my, after trying one, we both got stuck in, so delicious. Looks like toasted sandwiches tonight. :-[ ;D

Post by: JulieO on April 24, 2012, 05:40:19 am: Goldfish, here's the whole recipe, if you don't have a PC, just do by usual method. :)

STICKY PORK SPARE RIBS
1 - 1.5kg American style pork spare ribs/I used Aust pork ribs
250ml water
1/3 cup orange marmalade (used home made)
1/3 cup kecap manis
4 cloves garlic crushed
40g fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 tsp five-spice powder

Prepare tin for oven; Place an oiled wire rack over a large shallow baking dish that has been filled with about 1cm of water, put aside.

Place the 1 cup of water into PC, add ribs. Secure lid and bring to high pressure over high heat. Once stabilised, cook 15 mins/ or 12 mins for Aust ribs.

Meanwhile combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Preheat grill on highest setting.

Release cooker pressure using the qrm and remove lid. Drain ribs.

Combine ribs with marmalade mixture. Place ribs, in single layer on prepared wire rack.

Grill ribs about 8-10 mins or until browned turning halfway through cooking time and brushing occasionally with remaining marmalade mixture.

Remove from the oven to a chopping board and using a sharp knife, cut into sections.

Post by: Wonder on April 24, 2012, 05:58:37 am: They look fantastic Julie. After coming back from the US last week we have had our fill of ribs for a little while. I find they are an expensive meal in Australia for a family of 4.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: goldfish on April 24, 2012, 06:03:43 am: Thank you very much, JulieO! Have printed it off and ready to go over the next day or so. Thanks, again! :D

Post by: judydawn on April 24, 2012, 06:11:18 am: JuLie, my DH would kill for a plate of those ribs. Not having a PC I guess I could just boil or steam the ribs first. Are your ribs the ones with not much meat on them or did you buy belly pork with the bone still in?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on April 24, 2012, 06:27:18 am: Julie, wonderful photo as usual and will certainly be making these. Thanks.

Post by: Halex on April 24, 2012, 06:29:13 am: Love ribs, these look great.

On the cruise ship (American) we had ribs, they were the best we have ever had, the meat was lovely & loads of it.

Why do we have such small ones with hardly any meat on???

Do they just have bigger pigs? ???

Judy, yes just boil them until cooked. When you brush them with the sauce and grill them, that's really only to finish them off and get nice and sticky.
These were the ones with not a lot of meat, but how nice to chomp away on the bones ;D I wouldn't mind trying the pork belly ones too as the fat would cook out when doing the pre-boiling, I saw some called pork rashers the other day.

It's worth trying either lot I reckon, we found the sauce had just the right amount of sweetness. Maybe if store bought orange marmalade is used it may be just a bit sweeter, but I used Chookie's lemon & carrot marmalade which isn't as sweet and was perfect in this. :D

It might be worth me putting this recipe in the Non TM thread too, will do so a bit later. :)

Post by: achookwoman on April 24, 2012, 11:01:41 am: Julie, I knew there was a reason why I made a batch of that marmalade yesterday. ;D
Tonight i converted a new recipe for veal cutlets with a spicy tomato sauce. Served with TMX mashed pots, Alyce's creamed spinach. The crumbs for the veal have garlic and parsley zapped in. Not sure that the kids would like the sauce as it has green peppercorns and capers.

Post by: judydawn on April 25, 2012, 12:39:09 am: Thanks Julie, the Chinese BBQ spare ribs (using the meaty pork belly rashers) I do from the WW book are boiled for 20 minutes, marinated for an hour then cooked in the oven for an hour. Everyone loves them but it is quite time consuming. I'll try this one of yours and for visitors will try boiling them the previous day then following your recipe from there, so much quicker. I have enough of Chookies carrot/orange marmalade left to do this recipe. Visitors for Saturday lunch so am adding this to the menu and DH is going to hate sharing them ;D

Post by: judydawn on April 25, 2012, 02:37:00 am: Won't be doing the meaty ones this time Julie as I do have some of the American style ribs in the freezer from when the butcher boned out a piece of belly pork for me - I was asked if I wanted the bones ???

Post by: JulieO on April 26, 2012, 09:28:12 am: We had Chicken breasts stuffed with figs, spices & spinach, cooked in the oven in a tomatoey sauce (to which I also added a good dollop each of caramelised garlic paste and the sundried tom pesto I made today).

Served with mash and Tenina's fruity quinoa stuffed capsicums, everything went together perfectly, was so delicious.
Forgot to drizzle the remainder of the sauce over the top before taking the photo.

If anyone would like the recipe let me know and I will post in the other section. :D

You seem to have worked out your earlier problems with the PC Wonder. I am looking to replace my slow cooker and rice cooker with one machine and would like a PC too. After reading your previous posts I was a little concerned about having a similar experience. Still haven't decided between the Breville and the New Wave. Can't seem to find much in the way of differences other than price and local availability.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on May 01, 2012, 01:22:29 am: Twitterpated, the earlier problems certainly seemed to be attributable to the meat still being frozen in the centre. The meat had been left in my outside drinks fridge by MIL but no-one rembered to tell me about it, I didn't find it until I went to get a bottle of wine, DH & DS weren't 100% sure which day it was left so it was a very last minute decision to cook it up for dinner, it also wasn't a cut of meat we would normally use (quite fatty). After the additional cooking time the meat fell apart and most of the fat had also disintegrated - so all up a very good outcome. Dinner was only about 1hr late in the end and the meat didn't get thrown out which was my other option.

I was planning on getting the Breville but it seems that it doesn't have the delayed start functionality and you can't select the exact time for the slow cooking, there is either a 6 or 8 hour option - I think Obbie found this out? Also depending on where you are located there are a few sales where you get the stainless steel bowl thrown in for free. In Melbourne Matchbox had them on sale on the weekend.

Post by: Twitterpated on May 01, 2012, 03:59:28 am: Thanks for the info Wonder. Great to know about the differences between them. Based on this I think I will go for the New Wave too. I'm in Central Qld so will need to mail order as no-one in town has the Breville let alone the New Wave. Is the stainless steel insert instead of the non-stick or as well as?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on May 01, 2012, 07:03:06 am: The stainless steel bowl is as well as the non stick one, I was very impressed by the weith of the extra bowl and think it will be great to extra browning as I don't find the the non stick ones give quite the same finish to meat when browning.

Normally I use 2 forks too, but this was so much quicker, and a finer shred that I like...like the Mexican places. I did add smome of the juices into jug before shredding.
Often I just use a good amount of stewing steak, cut into large chunks, fat removed. We do our own beef, and we just don't like it roasted, so it's all cut into steaks or casserole.
I mix around 100-150g of Sonans taco seasoning, with 4 cups beef stock, covering the beef, and cook on low for at least 10 hours, 12 hours if I do have a butt of beef.
I am interested to make it quicker in the pressure cooker, and see how it compares.

Tonight I made chookies sage & pepper risotto, and the rest of the family chose to have leftovers.

Post by: judydawn on May 04, 2012, 11:11:00 am: Had 1/2 a roast chicken to do something with for tea tonight but a busy day meant I had no time to find something different. Decided to steam some vegies in the steaming basket and heat the leftover chicken/gravy in a casserole dish in the varoma tray, adding some frozen peas/corn to the varoma tray towards the end of the cooking time. Beautiful meal. Someone was asking how to use the varoma for reheating things the other day and I cannot find that posting. Try this, it is so easy and tastes much better than being reheated in the microwave.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on May 05, 2012, 08:42:41 am: I decided that tonight would be the night I would put my first post on this thread. So its typical that my dinner isn't turning out exactly as planned :-\

I was going to do a slow-cooked chicken and vegie casserole. But I didn't get home until 1:00pm, and by the time I put the shopping away, had lunch, cleaned up from lunch, threw a load of washing in the machine... :-)) Fair to say it was getting too late to cook the entire casserole in the slow cooker.

So, my last minute plan B: I have put all my soft vegies in the slow cooker and they are simmering away nicely into mush, which I am then going to puree into a sauce. The vegetable mush sauce will then be served over steamed chicken drumsticks, steamed vegies and pasta.

I'll let you know in a few hours how it turns out.

We would love a leg of lamb and especially this recipe. Note to self. " put a leg of lamb lay by for next month" . That is how expensive. Lamb is here. We had a dear friend for dinner this week. He has a farm near Canberra running sheep. He gets $90 a lamb. So why am I paying $9 a kilo. I said instead of bringing a bottle of wine he could have shoved a lamb in the overhead locker.

Actually I fed them barramundi at $34 a kilo. Note to self "stop b****ing about the cost of lamb"

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: dragongirly on May 05, 2012, 11:18:10 am: Hi Gert,
Your comment pushed me to work out how much my leg of lamb was. It's a treat for me - I get it frozen and tend not to look at the cost. So I've looked and it is gasp worthy. Keeping in mind that it's imported from NZ (can't get Aus lamb here -beef yes, lamb no) when I work out the cost per kilo and then translate to AUD it's $17.45/kg. Let's just say I will be savouring every last bite. ;D

Post by: Nikkit on May 07, 2012, 08:04:32 am: Lamb Shank Tagine with mash. Making it up from about 4 different recipes as I go. (don't have all the ingredients I need!) I'll do the mash in the TM, so it won't feel unloved today.

Oh Maddy what did you put on that bread? Yummo!

Post by: maddy on May 07, 2012, 10:55:49 am: Varoma steamed silverside (I was skeptical, but it worked well)...rosemary salted potatoes, and roasted some zucchini, mushrooms & tomatoes in garlic oil.

Today I decided to try gozleme for the first time as an entree but it ended up being dinner as it made so many and filled us up. Yum!

Here is a photo (the green stuff is part of the filling) and I will be posting a review soon.

I'm finally going to give it a try. I will make the dough this morning and roll it out this afternoon (I have a pack of dry lasagne sheets in the cupboard as back up ;D )
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Nikkit on May 07, 2012, 10:47:48 pm: Thanks Maddy, will have to make that yummy bread soon, my lot will love it.

Tasty - tagine was "the best one ever" Hubby said. It was pretty good I must say. I love my tagine and use it alot over winter, fills the house with yummy smells. I put fresh beetroot in this one and it really made it nice - added sweetness without putting in the usual honey or dried fruits.

I should write down what I put in it before I forget so I can make it again!

Post by: fundj&e on May 08, 2012, 12:57:53 am: its very easy to roll for lasange sheets dede, if u do have a problem rolling it will only be beacuse the dough is to dry and it will fall apart :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: dede on May 08, 2012, 02:05:47 am: Ok I have now moved my sheets to clean tea towels.
Another question. In the lasagna recipe it says precooked lasagna sheets. What do I do now?
Do I cut them to size and drop them in boiling water before I make the lasagna up?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on May 08, 2012, 02:11:49 am: You won't need to pre cook them dede because they are so fresh.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on May 08, 2012, 02:11:59 am: No need to precook these sheets. I am assuming hou are putting the whole lasagna into the oven.

H :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on May 08, 2012, 02:12:08 am: I do the same as Fundj. Once rolled I keep under a towel to keep from drying out while I continue rolling the rest into sheets. I find they are much easier to use/cut into shape/size when pliable.

Unless of course you want to dry it out to store for future use. I don't hang them as I prefer them flat.

I love making pasta and it does taste so much better than the bought stuff. :)

Making Tenina's chicken pot pie off her website with a few additions (mushrooms, leeks, mustard and cream) Smells yum already, could just use the filling as a pasta bake as well.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mcmich on May 08, 2012, 06:07:07 am: The lasagne looks great dede. You've inspired me to give homemade pasta a go.
Fundj said to lie pasta on floured tea towels - Is that what you did?
I thought I read somewhere it was damp tea towels. If Fundj says floured then it must be right.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: dede on May 08, 2012, 06:14:19 am: Michelle I had mine laying over a broom handle to start with until Halex said that here's cracked that way. So I laid them on clean tea towels, I already had floured the lasagna sheets so didn't add any extra and they were fine. I also placed some clean tea towels on top as well while I prepared the rest of the ingredients for the lasagna.
Worked out well (I think)

Another question for fundj or Halex or who ever.
How long do I leave the left over lasagna sheets to dry before I can store them in an air tight container?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: fundj&e on May 08, 2012, 06:23:46 am: dede they must be dried very well b4 u pack them. i would do 24 hrs. i am on my way 2. looks good let us know what the kids think of it

I'm always laughing CP! :D

But money is a little bit tight for us at the moment, so some nights are very much "throw a few random things on a plate" nights.

It wasn't just a carrot last night though lol. I threw a tin of tomatoes, some onion, garlic and spices, a small tin of salmon and some frozen peas into TM and made a sort of... soup thing ;D

Lol I can't get freezer crazy like you Halex :-)) We only have a baby freezer :P

I would like to cook in bulk and freeze more meals, especially when things like meat and chicken are on special, but I am a bit scared of freezing and defrosting meals in case I do it wrong and I either ruin the meal or make someone sick.

I'm a wuss I know...
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on May 09, 2012, 01:16:33 am: You can freeze most things :)

Name & date them, dont leave them in there longer than 2-3 months.

If you could stretch a spag bol or casserole out with some added veggies, an extra tin of tomatoes, peas etc, freeze some. Then you can have a nice meal when the pantry is empty.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on May 09, 2012, 01:20:31 am: Yes I have more tupperware than you can imagine.

I also buy take out plastic containers for meals.

Zip lock bags can work too, there are freezer ones out now. I have also been known to use veggie plastic bags double or triple bagged when I run out.

H :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on May 09, 2012, 01:25:21 am: Thanks again Halex! :D

I might just have to do your triple-vegie-bagging trick because they are much cheaper than tupperware :P But I suppose I can reuse the tupperware can't I? The bags would just get thrown out and I would have to keep replacing them....

Do the bags work for soup?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on May 09, 2012, 01:50:13 am: Amy, I tend to use bags for most of my freezing as they pack flatter than containers. Ikea zip lock bags are quite cheap, 2 sizes in a box and 4 sizes in all. I think I paid $3.95 for a box of 50 bags in 2 of the smaller sizes (not that small). If I buy meat in bulk I vacuum seal them with the bags that came with the sealer. Soup, casseroles and sauces are ideal for freezing in ziplock bags as are cakes etc.

Amy, do you know you can reuse the bags too? I don't reuse the ones that have had raw meat in them, but I use them to put individual kids snacks like little pieces of cake, piklets, a cookie etc so I can just grab one for the lunch box. I just wash these out with detergent and warm water and reuse.

I have a few Tupperware items and they are great quality but if you are on a budget then I find the Sistema brand of containers to also be great. You can find them at Coles and two or three times a year they have 50%off so I buy up big then.

You can't go wrong with freezing things like lasagna, cannelloni, pasta sauce. I buy up big when things are on sale and make something with it and freeze or preserve. I got a big bag of onions for $1 this week and made some red onion relish. Should make the sausage and mash potato nights a little more tasty!

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: keiramax on May 09, 2012, 03:06:48 am: Thanks for the reference to Clara, Fundj - what an amazing woman. My sister in law tells a not so funny story of when she was growing up. They were very poor and one day she came home from school and her pet rabbit was missing. That night for dinner they had rabbit casserole, it wasn't until she was in her 20s that she realised what had happened and asked her Mum.

My Grandma use to tell us stories of the depression, I wish now I was old enough to fully appreciate her lessons, but at 16 you think you know everything.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on May 09, 2012, 06:05:38 am: Thanks to all of you for your quick and helpful responses! :-*

I feel more confident about freezing meals now, and am also fully informed about depression cooking ;D Thanks for that Uni :-*

I think I will try freezing my meals in bags and washing them out, as snappy suggested. Unfortunately no Ikea where I live JD, so will have to settle for Woolies or Coles. I will buy a few packs when they are on special ;) And I see what you mean about the ziplock bags being flatter than containers JD. I just scoped out the dimensions of my freezer, and I probably wouldn't fit many of those bulky tupperware/sistema containers in there :P

Post by: kezza on May 09, 2012, 10:39:08 am: My DH always refers to any stew or casserole I have made with cheap cuts of meat as 'depression' tucker. I can remember when his Dad came over from Sydney and my kids couldn't believe that he ate the whole apple, core and all! It was then he told them the stories of how poor his family were and that you did not waste anything. We still talk about that to this day.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on May 10, 2012, 12:54:29 pm: I'm glad I didn't have to cook too much tonight. I'm still traumatised by finding a desiccated mouse stuck on my sewing machine this afternoon. It has obviously sought refuge from one of my cats in the sewing machine cover and caaked it. I haven't used my machine since Christmas, so I have no idea how long it has been there. I had to wait until my DH came home to remove it. I can't face cleaning my machine yet. Maybe tomorrow, or maybe never!
DH had been to the Central Market today and bought half of a Chinese roasted duck. I stir fried some veges and noodles and served it with the duck. Really yummy, especially if you ask for some sauce with the duck. For dessert, he has bought me a vanilla slice from Swiss Glory - my absolute favourite.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Tasty on May 10, 2012, 01:59:16 pm: I had one fillet of fish to use up (they only had one in Woollies) and I didn't feel like the original recipe so after a quick google search found a recipe for Orange and Basil sauce that goes with Trevally. I went across the road and got some oranges from a neighbour.

It was nice except for the bitter orange aftertaste. I think the orange I used wasn't quite ripe enough yet.

I also made chicken and pistachio dumplings (from this forum).
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: DizzyGirl on May 10, 2012, 09:09:27 pm: I now use Pyrex glass containers for freezing. I prefer to reheat in glass. They are bulky but I have an upright freezer dedicated to left overs.

Post by: Amy :-) on May 11, 2012, 12:49:39 am: Tonight will be roast chicken, potatoes and sweet potato, with some steamed broccoli. I will see if I can not turn the gravy into glue.

I'm thinking rice pudding from EDC for dessert. I might add some grated apple or chocolate. I think I have some frozen blueberries in the freezer from when they were on special. Spolied for choice!

We're celebrating my mum's homecoming, so I want to do something a bit special.

Post by: courton on May 12, 2012, 09:30:07 am: JulieO, how do you make pastry so that it does not shrink and you get the lovely curves on this side. I made a Lemon and lime tart but the short crust pastry shrunk and the sides came off the edges.

Ps. Any chance of posting the beetroot and goats cheese tart recipe. The whole family love this combo as a bake. :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on May 12, 2012, 12:15:31 pm: courton, here's the link for the recipe. I halved it and baked it in a 20cm tart tin.

http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/26858/beetroot+and+goats+cheese+tart

I used Tenina's method of cooking the beetroot (below) and made the pastry in the TM.

Cooking the beetroot
Place whole beetroot into simmering basket and insert into TM bowl. Add enough water to come half way up the sides of the simmering basket.
Cook 35-45 min/100ºC/speed 3. Check with a skewer to see if tender.
Remove basket and drain water. When beetroot are cool enough to handle, peel and coarsely grate. Set aside.

This tart was just gorgeous, really enjoyed the flavours. I can't believe though that after making the 'horseradish cream' I completely forgot to serve it ??? I'm actually going to make another one in a couple of days to serve for lunch, will use up the horseradish cream then. ;D

Note: Courton, the tart tins have the curves on it. The pastry didn't shrink much at all, only a little bit as you can see on one side of the tart. The thyme leaves in it was a nice touch too. :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: courton on May 12, 2012, 12:23:53 pm: Thank you so much for your quick response and recipe. :) :)

I also used a tart tin with curves but no curves on my pastry. Grrrrrrrr!!!!!

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: droverjess on May 15, 2012, 08:07:40 pm: Well I did this but made a few changes. http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5129.0

Firstly I had no chicken so used pork leg, didn't weigh it but enough for 3.
Added 3 cloves garlic, 2 carrots and 1 leek with the onion. Chopped and sautéed in TMX.
Used 25gm Dijon mustard, and 25 gm honey.

Then browned pork on hob, added in everything, leaving half cream. Brought up to simmer and put in slow oven of Aga as had to go out on the farm.
when it was ready I added rest of cream and another teaspoon of Dijon mustard, lots of black pepper and about 2T of chopped fresh (frozen) coriander as I just felt it was lacking something.

Been one of those days, the farrier never came, very unlike him. I couldn't go shopping in case he came... So had to adapt my meal to suit larder.

Made brons steamed garlic rice with pudding rice. Think I might try less oil next time.
Steamed cabbage on top, think I over did that slightly.

Still it was voted a hit, so that is good.

Also made these http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2899.0 with 50gms wholeml flour, 20 gms butter, and only 2 tsp traditional dried yeast.

I was going to make http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3595.0 this for pudding but as I couldn't go out I had no egg.
I picked 4 more stalks from the garden and made a rhubarb crumble. Will post recipe later.
Had to have Birds custard as no eggs for my custard sauce (posted already).
Think I should have cooked custard longer or turned heat up, not sure yet which, as thermy too new.

Phew enough of my ramblings.

Supposed to cook in the oven for 1 1/2 hours, only took 25 mins in my PC, it was so delicious and tender, we are having left overs tomorrow. ;D

Also made Jamie's Apple Pepper Pot Cake, (from Jamie's Great Britain), first dessert I've made for ages, and it was wonderful. :)

Yay!! I'll be right over :D

Seriously!? It would take me probably 10 minutes to set up a shot like that... :-))

Post by: Tasty on May 16, 2012, 01:13:29 pm: I agree with Gert. Don't every leave this forum JulieO and keep on posting photos - love them.

That dinner looks really yummy.

I am trying to increase the amount of veges in our meals lately so tonight we had vegetable quinoa pilaf. I made the quinoa in the TMX and it was so much tastier using vege stock to steam. The meal was actually a lot tastier than I thought so will make again - yay for eating healthier and still tasting good :D

Post by: droverjess on May 16, 2012, 07:26:17 pm: Well we had hard boiled eggs and Thermy salad for lunch with yesterday's ISI,s everyday bread left over.
DH asked for less apple in salad.

For dinner we had roasted mini potatoes with garlic, home made chicken nuggets ( chicken breast, rolled in egg and breadcrumbs. Used thenthermy demo crumbs from freezer), red cabbage, carrots. Leftover rhubarb crumlble with my custard sauce from the desert forum.

Am nice and full now but was very hungry, been outside working in garden all afternoon. We are making a new garden, it is very slow as seems to just me doing it. It will be a cottage garden.

I put in a few perennials today and some annuals. Antirhinums and stocks, and some thing small and blue to fill the gaps but I don't know the name. It was not lobelia..

Wow, no wonder your plate was full Hally! And no wonder your tummy is now too :-)) Sounds very yummy though :D

I cooked up farfallina's turkey with mushrooms. Only did half the amount of turkey, added a good dose of garlic to scare away these colds, and also added some turmeric and cumin. Was DELICIOUS :D Served with little cabbages.

Post by: JulieO on May 19, 2012, 08:23:23 am: I made cottage pie for dinner, though really it should be called veg pie with a bit of beef mince ;D.

I've used lots of veg that was in the fridge which was added to only 500g beef mince. Was so flavoursome, really loved it. I even added some of Judy's dry onion soup mix to the mashed potatoes which I spread over the top.

Served in individual pots and after heating through in the oven until bubbling, I finished off under the grill. A complete meal in one. :D

I hope I will be having slow cooked lentil and veggie soup. I was a complete dope and forgot to put the lentils at the beginning, but I chucked them in about an hour an a half ago so I hope they will be cooked by dinnertime!
If not, looks like it will be another Winter Banana Smoothie. That would't be a bad thing though :D

Post by: Amy :-) on May 19, 2012, 11:18:36 am: My soup turned out great! Hooray! Veggies were wonderfully soft and melt-in-the-mouth, lentils were cooked just right, and I chucked in a tin of pink salmon in the last 20 minutes of cooking to add a bit more texture, flavour and protein ;D

Followed by chocolate cashew cream (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4579.0) (which I am sure I got from this forum) and banana for pudding.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on May 19, 2012, 11:52:18 am: Dede, here's a rough recipe of what I did today. You can use any veg that you have, good for using up bits and pieces. I also added some tomato pizza base sauce that I had left over from the other day which was lovely. Use anything that you think will enhance the flavour.

COTTAGE PIE
about 500g beef mince, premium heart smart quality
1 onion, quartered
2 cloves garlic
6 or 7 mushrooms, sliced
400g tin chopped tomatoes
about 1 tsp sugar
Heaped tsp Dijon mustard
Good slug Worcestershire sauce
Dash soy sauce
Good slug red wine
1 stick celery, cut into chunks
1 large carrot, “ “
Head of broccoli incl stem, cut in chunks
About ½ of a sweet potato, peeled and cut in chunks
Beef stock, used 1 ½ cups today
Sprinkle of Tenina’s chicken stock granules
Cracked black pepper

A couple of spoonfuls of Dry Onion Soup Mix (JudyD's recipe)
Creamy mashed potatoes
Tasty cheese (optional – I didn’t use today)

Add about 1 tbsp oil to TM bowl.
Add onion and garlic to bowl. Chop 2 secs/speed 5. Scrape to a plate.
Place rest of veg in bowl and chop about 12 secs/speed 8. You may need to stop and stir with a spatula and then carry on. Remove to a plate.

Heat a large casserole pot, scrape onion/garlic mixture into pot and gently fry onion and garlic until golden and tender.
Add mince and using a wooden spoon, break up any chunks and cook until browned.
Add mushrooms, cook stirring until they start to cook down releasing some of their juices.
Add tin of tomatoes, Dijon, sauces, sugar and red wine. Give a good stir, then add the chopped up veg and beef stock, ground black pepper and bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 1 hour, adding some frozen peas, (added peas & corn today) in the last few mins. Check seasoning.

Meanwhile, boil some potatoes until tender, drain and press through ricer (or use masher) back into the hot, dry pot. Add some warmed milk and butter and stir with wooden spoon until butter has melted and potatoes creamy. Add a sprinkle of the dry soup mix and stir to combine.

Spoon mince mixture into individual baking pots,(or one large dish if prefer). Spread with mash and sprinkle with cheese if using. Place under grill until cheese has melted/or potatoes have turned golden.

Use any veg that you have in the fridge at the time, zucchini, corn, potato, sweet potato just to name a few.

Post by: EmeraldSue on May 19, 2012, 12:08:46 pm: Julie, that sounds lovely. I'm exhausted as I've been at the school working bee all day cleaning and painting. The best I could do was steak sandwiches for dinner. The steak was fabulous so dinner was delicious and just what I needed. I tried to make gravy for my DH so I googled a recipe. It was a complete disaster. A vital step in the recipe was missing- I was too tired to read the recipe first and realise that it would never work.. It missed the step of sauteeing the onion and garlic and adding the flour before the liquid. It wouldn't thicken and tasted like raw onion. Uugh. Serves me right for not using a recipe from this forum. Just too ztired

Saw the tiger shark again but I am getting very brave now. (I don't scream quite a loud or long)

So would I Mandi! But then I would be brave, stand up to it, and threaten it with beer batter and tartare sauce 8)

Then it would be scared and run (swim) away! ;D

Yeah right a metre long puffer fish. Should I believe that? I love tiger sharks especially if Amy is cooking them.

Do you froth the milk in the container Gert?

There is also a stainless steel container to keep in the fridge which hold about a litre of milk but it can suck up out or the bottle just as easily. Not a pretty but it saves washing.

The machine is fully automatic made in Switzerland. The coffee produced is very hot compared to some commercial machines.

lamb & gravy rolls....have to go out after school, so that's nice and easy.
Have a leg of lamb that's too big even for my huge slow cooker....so will poke it with rosemary and garlic, and shove in an oven bag....if it fits. We breed big lambs here ;)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: gertbysea on May 22, 2012, 05:09:44 am: Mcmuch that is why I gave my delongi away too. The Jura makes coffee very hot.

Maddy the milk in the container is from a local dairy and is very high in fat so that it looks curdled around the handle. That is actually the cream.

I normally do not drink milk but if the coffee is strong enough I can tolerate it. Anyway I just like to make one sometimes for fun.

If you spray with veg oil, take off large seal, place tray or plate on top, carefully turn over, and I loosen the inner seal and let it sit for a few minutes, before taking ring off, gravity usually does the job fine.
If making something chilled, do the same, but drape a damp warm tea towel over ring, sit for a few minutes, and that helps it unmould.

These tips may help on this blog. http://tupperwaretalk.blogspot.com.au/2010/07/jel-ring-mold.html

Post by: JulieO on May 23, 2012, 11:34:16 am: Very artistic Judy, looks very tasty. Looks lovely too Maddy. ;D

I made individual beef curry pies. The recipe made so much filling that I've frozen half for another time. Today I made 4 pies, froze 2 unbaked for an easy meal one night. Filling only took 25 mins in my PC, the gravy beef was so tender. :)

Post by: astarra on May 24, 2012, 05:19:51 am: Dinner tonight - Slow cooked beef in gravy served with roasted potato and pumpkin, steamed corn, carrot and brocolli, and TM bread rolls. :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on May 24, 2012, 05:24:32 am: Wonder, I used a recipe off Taste (have tried to find it but it appears to have gone) only I converted to making in my PC. Will let you know what I did.

The recipe below shows a halved recipe as when I made the full amount it was far too much, so if you want the original recipe, just double the ingredients below.

It's not a strong curry flavour as it only uses curry powder, so if you have a spice combination you prefer then go for that.
The meat was perfectly cooked in 25 mins, just pulled apart and the perfect texture for a pie.

I did cut the meat in roughly 4cm cubes, so quite big, but it was the right size to use for this.

CURRIED BEEF PIE/s
1 ½ tbsp plain flour
750g gravy beef, cut into 4cm pieces (really want biiiig pieces)
1 large brown onion, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tbsp curry powder
1 cup beef stock
1 ½ tsp brown sugar
optional - dollop caramelised garlic paste, sundried tomato pesto, and slug of worc sauce
2 tbsp milk for brushing
2 sheets (25 x 25cm) frozen butter puff pastry, just thawed

Heat 1 tbsp oil in PC. Cook the onions over medium heat stirring, until golden.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in curry powder. Cook for 1 minute. Scrape to a plate.

Place cut up beef into a large bowl. Sprinkle over the flour, salt & pepper and combine until coated.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in PC over medium-high heat. Cook the beef in batches only for a min or so to brown off. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon.

Add onion mixture back into empty PC. Add stock and sugar and lift up any sediment stuck to base of pan.
Stir in other condiments and beef. Cover with lid and bring to high pressure over high heat.
Once stabilised, cook 25 mins.

Release pressure using nrm. Uncover. Simmer over med heat uncovered until sauce reduces, but not too much as it will dry out some when baking. Allow to cool completely.

Base Pastry enough for 4 individual pies or 1 large
190g plain flour
85g chilled butter, cubed
3 tblsp iced water

Add flour and then butter to TM bowl. Turbo twice to cut butter into flour.
With blades turning on speed 6, pour water through opening in the lid and allow dough to just come together, about 13 secs in all. Remove from bowl, bring into a ball and if making individual ones, divide into 4 portions. Refrigerate wrapped for 30 mins.

Roll out pastry to line tin/s. Allow a little overhang to allow for shrinkage, and put back into the fridge for 30 mins. If you are using non-stick tins, there's no need to grease them. Preheat oven 200C. Put a baking tray big enough to hold the tin/s into the oven to heat.

Remove tins from the fridge and prick the bases of the pies with a fork and bake for 20-25 mins or until golden.

Take puff pastry sheets out of freezer to defrost.

To assemble:
Spoon cooled beef mixture into the pastry bases. Brush the edges with either milk or egg wash.
If making individual pies, cut out 2 tops from each pastry sheet, big enough to cover top of tins. Trim and press to seal.

If making one large pie, place one sheet of the pastry on top of the other, then roll out gently until big enough for the top of your pie.
Brush with milk or eggwash and cut a cross in the top to allow steam to escape.
Place on the baking tray in the oven and bake until puffed and golden.

Post by: Wonder on May 24, 2012, 06:35:31 am: Thanks Julie. Is gravy beef the name it is sold as in the butchers? I don't remember ever seeing it. Also how do you think they would go in the pie maker with bought shortcrust for the bottom and puff for the top?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on May 24, 2012, 06:43:52 am: Wonder I've never used a pie maker but I can't see why it won't work. The filling is already fully cooked so all you are doing is cooking the pastry. Just use it the same as you would any other filling I'm sure they will be fine. :D

Post by: JulieO on May 24, 2012, 09:07:41 am: Made Caramelised Pepper Pork (from WW PC book). Trimmed pork spare ribs (rashers - bone less) cut into chunks are used for this recipe, took 20 mins after stabilizing. Thoroughly enjoyed. :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: maddy on May 24, 2012, 09:16:57 am: Y.U.M. :-* glad you made this one Julie, it seems my book has been earmarked on this one for ages! Did you use 1tablespoon pepper as suggested, or cut it back? Was it very peppery?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on May 24, 2012, 09:34:00 am: No I didn't Maddy. I didn't actually measure it just ground some in there, was a bit worried that 1 tbs would be too much, but I have made a note to grind 2 tsp worth next time and try that. That way I can safely say how much will be enough for us. Even though the recipe states it will serve 4, there's no way it would serve that many unless it was part of a multi course meal. Was lovely though and I have also noted to double the 'sauce' part of it as that was really nice and again would have liked more. ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mcmich on May 24, 2012, 09:40:05 am: Julie, looks so appetising as usual. I don't eat pork. Do you think chicken or veal would work?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on May 24, 2012, 12:19:19 pm: To be honest Mcmich, I'm not sure. I think you would have to cook the chicken far less time or it would dry out. I haven't cooked enough veal in any way to really know how that would work. You could always try a half amount to see. Thanks for the comment. :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: gertbysea on May 24, 2012, 12:26:40 pm: I don't think veal would work as it has no fat and no flavour and usually had to be cooked quickly. Chicken thighs might work,and beef definitely.

I did, although smallish, they were surprisingly filling. The cavities were the perfect size for the prosciutto to wrap around.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on May 26, 2012, 12:31:25 pm: I spent all day in the garden today. I harvested all my butternut pumpkins that had taken over the garden and removed lots of weeds. I've got the vege patch ready for some winter plantings. It's not very big as it used to be my DS 's sandpit, and it just has parsley and rainbow chard left in it now. I have mixed in compost from the garden I I now need to decide what to plant next. At the market last week there were some lettuce seedlings that were pale green with purple splodges, which are really tempting. Anyway, I digress....
I cooked roast chicken for dinner with roast veges as I am pretty tired now and wanted something that I could just bung in the oven and forget. It was delicious and I have cooked extra veges so I can make roasted pumpkin and vege soup for later in the week. Two meals for the price of one!
My Thermo Cheaf wasn't neglected though as my gravy was looking a little lumpy. It wasn't thickening so I got impatient and added more cornflour direct into the gravy. Stupid! Then I had the brilliant idea and bunged it into TC, cooked it at 80C at speed 4 for 2 minutes and Bob's your Uncle, I had delicious lump free gravy!

Loved every mouthful though, like I said we had fillet steaks that I could practically cut with a butter knife they were that tender, roast potatoes, pumpkin and carrot, asparagus and finished off with a lovely mushroom sauce. I brought home a tiger loaf from Brumby's which was very nice too. So good to be home. :D

Sorry mab, this is not a dish I have seen on our forum. Maybe astarra did her own thing and could share the recipe with you.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: astarra on May 28, 2012, 07:19:42 am: Sure I'll share any recipe ...
CURRIED CORN AND CARROT DISH
Place 2 1/2 C chopped carrot
& 400g frozen corn in steamer basket.
..... 500gm water in TM, add steamer basket, varoma 30min sp2.
Tip out water reserving approx 50gm.

1 onion quartered into TM bowl, sp5 3sec, scrape down bowl and add 2T butter - 60 deg, sp1, 2min. Add 2T cornflour (if you use maize or corn cornflour this dish is GF) 1/2t curry powder, 1t salt and 1t sugar, 1c milk and reserved liquid. 100 deg, sp1, 5 min.
Add carrot and corn, mix in with spatula. Scrape into ovenproof dish, cook 180 deg in oven approx 30 min. (This is not absolutely neccesary as it is all cooked anyway, but I find it handy to make earlier in the day then heat closer to dinner time.)
This dish freezes well.

I have placed a copy of this recipe in the Vegetarian section astarra so that it won't get lost - JD

Start again....
Maddy, we had roast pumpkin soup for dinner tonight too. The males in the house don't like pumpkin so they had leftovers from last night instead. The rest of us enjoyed the soup. I roasted extra veges (capsicum, onions, carrots and butternut pumpkin from the garden) when I cooked the roast chicken on Saturday night. I blitzed the veges in my Thermo Chef with some water and chicken stock powder that I had made and hey presto, I had dinner ready. I love this machine.

Katie is right with cheap soups, the one vegie type soups are so cheap to make when that vegie is in season at it's lowest price.
Some vegie shops have bags of fruit and veg to get rid of for a very low price - these vegie bags are ideal for soup making.

Yes I'm staying in bed today. Richard has ordered me to & I'm under instructions not to do anything other than rest. I think I should have done that yesterday instead of getting up & trying to go to work. In so lucky to have an OH who looks after me so well.

I hate being sick, it's such a waste of time.

Almost too :-[ to post this, but after a very hectic day (school parent help, swimming lessons, doc appnt etc) I have not long got home to find DH had very nicely put the lamb roast I got out of the freezer to thaw for tonight's dinner BACK INTO THE FREEZER... "I thought it was out by accident." So I asked DD5 she could chose anything for tea that wouldn't take long to thaw and cook.... therefore tonights dinner is: Sausages with onion and sauce in bread and hot milo with a blob of ice-cream in it.
Will have to do better tomorrow night - is our wedding anniversary!!! ;)

I bet DD5 was very happy about that astarra!! ;D

Post by: EmeraldSue on May 30, 2012, 12:30:22 pm: I finally got around to making the KFC chicken tonight and it was a big hit! I used chilli flakes in the spice mix and it was a little spicier than the kids would have preferred, but they still liked it. I'm trying to slip small amounts of chillli into our meals to get the children used to it, as DH & I really miss it in our meals.
I also made another batch of muesli bars tonight while the oven was on as the ones I made yesterday are almost gone. I made some Macarons too, but I chickened out of using my Thermo Chef after my last disaster. They worked really well this time.

It actually is really yum. The squid ink is just for color so most of the flavor comes from the mushrooms and stock. A lot of people are put off by snails but try garlic snails and you'll never look back. I buy tinned ones, not those from the garden!

DG....I don't want to seem patronising, but you shouldn't thaw chicken out of the fridge...It can be dangerous.
Thaw it overnight in fridge, or use easy defrost in the microwave (not express, it will cook it).

I don't like to microwave to defrost as I hate microwaved meat. It never defrosts fully in the middle and starts cooking on the outside.

Has anyone used the Varoma to defrost?

Not yet Judy, but I am a bit worried because sometimes he just floats in the tank with his head down and tail up... I have to tap on the tank to get him to move. Do you think that means he's sick? Or maybe the rocks in the bottom of the tank are just really fascinating? ???

Roasting lots of sweet potato because we had two huge ones (someone forgot that there was already one in the cupboard when we went shopping yesterday :-))) so will have leftover roast vegetables too :D I'm seeing quite a few meals out of the roast tonight ;)

Served with a lovely, really flavoursome fresh tomato sauce, I was very happy with my first attempt.

I made 90 of the little things, so quite a lot have been frozen on a tray and once firm will be put into bags ready for other nights where I'll only need to cook them and make the sauce for a quick meal.

Naked chicken? No way. :P

Gert

And guess what Gert? I was even touching its naked butt and legs :o

My DH would eat it if I left it on but me being the good wife I am, it's not good for you so off it comes. For visitors I would leave it on and then it would be their choice to eat it or leave it Gert. Mind you DH would not be happy to see others had it and he didn't ;D

Lol poor DH :-)) He will thank you when his arteries don't clog up Judy ;)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: jakodai on June 04, 2012, 08:01:45 am: Apparently the chicken skin isn't that bad - it's the fact that as the chicken cooks and fat comes out of the chicken, the skin catches it and absorbs it. I can't remember where I read that, though.

I personally can't stand the thought that it's the chicken's skin. It makes me feel gross to eat it. Apparently eating the chicken's meat is OK, but mentally I draw the line at it's skin... Work that out! Lol

That sounds very logical Amanda ;) Skin is sort of like a sponge in that sense, even chicken skin. Oils, moisturiser, sun screen... it all gets absorbed. Not that a chicken would wear sun screen, but I'm just saying that there's no reason why that principle of absorbtion can't work from the inside out when you cook a chicken :D

Beer Assed Chicken

Take a can of beer , open it, drink half. Put some herbs in can. Wash and dry chicken shove the beer can up it's bum. Place on a tray or something that will collect the liquid . Put the whole thing on the BBQ . use indirect heat ie: not over a burner but leave one burner on so heat circulates around bird. Close lid. Turn chook 45 degrees every 15minutes until done in about I hour. You can do multiple cooks in a baking dish. Never fail. Looks impressive no need to baste but if you want to you can. Fat plump moist chicken.

OR you can google it.

Unfortunately, when I was putting the "varoma" on the TC, I broke the spring clip on the bowl.
My son found it a little too spicy, and my daughter thought the meat was a little tough ( she is used to meat in the PC!). I thought it was nice.
I also chopped veges in the TC first and made pea and ham soup in the PC for dinner tomorrow.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on June 05, 2012, 04:54:19 am: I'm very excited that it is not even lunch time and I already have dinner ready! :D
I stripped the leftover meat off Mr Chicken's carcass (oh, that sounds very cannibalistic... :-[), cooked some pasta, steamed some vegies and made cheesy bechamel sauce in TM. I mixed it all together, poured it into a casserole dish and it is now cooling down on the kitchen bench. In a minute I will put it in the fridge ready to be sprinkled with cheese and warmed up in the oven tonight. Easy peasy!! :D

Added bonus = leftovers for lunches!!! ;)

Okay Amanda, you've talked me into it... ;)

I took these photos just now. This is the slightly smaller of the two dishes. I thought I better split it into two dishes because I wasn't sure how many times it should be heated up. So one will be baked tonight, and the other will be left in the fridge for lunch tomorrow :)

I will post another photo tonight after I bake it and it is covered in melty cheese and all brown and yummy on top ;D

DH tried out TM last night...!!!! Whizzed and heated some of the leftovers up for miss 16mths, (usually only has it chopped up but is teething so not very interested in chewing right now!) - then he came to me (I was in the bath) and told me that the TM was awesome!!!!!!!! ;D LOL!!!

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: astarra on June 07, 2012, 04:24:53 am: Bubbles... I just scrub or peel the potatoes, cut them into chips (with my v-slicer), rinse them, then I generally (but not if I'm stuck for time) steam them in the varoma for 10-15min or until softish but still holding their shape, after that I put them in a bag with a tablespoon or 2 (depending on quantity of potatoes) of oil, shake them up, lay on a tray and oven bake...OR lay out on tray not touching then freeze, once frozen put into zip lock bags in freezer til we are ready to cook them. (To freeze they need to have been steamed tho.) Hope that helps...? :D

Our microwave has a "crisp" setting, so if I haven't got the oven on I just put them back in the microwave on the "crisp" setting for about 12 minutes. But if I've got the oven on anyway, I put them on a tray and bake them in there ;)
So I can do either, but it will depend on your microwave whether it can do the "crisp" setting or not :)

Yes I oil them before freezing them, then it is all done ready to cook. I do my potatoes for roasting the same way, generally a monday job and do enough for the whole week or more, so handy to have already done in the freezer!! I also do my sweet potato and pumpkin (& carrots and parsnips if I am going to roast them) the same way. :D Good luck! :)
I used to do deep fry but I can't cope with the smell of the hot oil when I am up the duff!!! ;)

Post by: droverjess on June 07, 2012, 11:01:52 pm: Home alone with lots to do.

Leftovers in fridge: some single cream, cooked chicken and tired mushrooms.

So I adapted brons carbonara for 1.

1 onion chopped and sweated in *: plus garlic
Added
75g tagliatelle
250 water
Salt pepper
100 single cream.
*: :-: ^^ 15 mins 100
After 10 mins add cold cubed chicken and handful quartered mushrooms

NO egg. 80 cream would have been better.

It was a good quick cheap meal for one. Quite rich.

Probably not, but it still tastes better than what I've been able to do! Lol. I've always struggled with the carbonara sauce. There's a couple of restaurants that I've been to where the sauce was beautiful, and it's only been the last couple of times that I've made it that I've really enjoyed what I've made. Now to attempt gnocchi... I've been buying gnocchi from farmers markets, etc lately. I'm a little scared of making it myself.

Yep, that sounds like the place to go! I had to buy my prawns and scallops frozen and defrost them, but I got the fish and squid fresh. Its all pretty easy to prepare, just make sure you get all the entrails out of the prawns :-))
The only tricky part about this dish is cooking the seafood perfectly. It cooks very quickly, so you really have to judge by the size and quantity how long you cook it for ;)
My marinara sauce is a variation on the EDC marinara sauce. Would you like me to post it on the forum or would you like to make up your own variation? Its very easy :D

Had a freezer disaster after we moved house last autumn and had to turn loads of meat quickly into casseroles etc, this is one DH doesn't like but he is not back til later and DS does like it so that is useful.

Plus my new recipe made up today and posted in cakes Strawberry Streusel Muffins.... Let's hope they taste as good as they look. And custard made in *: of course. Expect DH will have pudding when he gets home later.

Tomorrow will be good old mince and onions, cooked slowly and mashed potatoes as I am out most of the day. I expect to chop onions and sweat in *:.
Haven't done mash yet in *: probably will do usual way as making a lot of mince to make cottage pies for freezer at same time and try out *: for mash another time.

Made Thermomixers cheat rice pudding (2/3 quantity) without the egg before I went out, added extra 10 mins cooking time as rice not soft. When got home whipped 1/4 pint left over cream folded in and put remaining strawbs on top. It was nothin special but a good pudding after a busy day.

I am finding more and more uses for *: and for timesaving it is marvellous. Like another pair of hands in the kitchen, but I must get another bowl.

LOL I was lucky that my brother and I had the complete opposite tastes when we were growing up. I loved dark chocolate, he loved white. I loved bananas, he loved apples. I loved yoghurt, he loved icecream. It worked pretty good :D

Topped the lot off with a pepper gravy. Yum, thoroughly enjoyed it. :D

This is is a not uncommon BBQ sauce in the States. Usually with coke but whatever. Sweet and spicy. Good on DS.

It's the start of my 3 monthly clean-out-the-freezer time, so yesterday I took out a smoked ham hock and will use it to make pea & ham soup in my PC today. Have had the peas soaking overnight and will use up the last of the veg I have in the fridge.
The actual cooking time is only 15 mins so will make for a quick meal tonight. May make a cobb to go with. :D

Tomorrow night is chicken drums, mashed potato, steamed broc, corn and carrot, zuchinni roulade and garlic bread - A madam's birthday (3rd) request - already! :-)) (I'm pretty happy with her choice as I have everything already!!) Will do her cupcakes for dessert as for her birthday cake she asked for 3 cupcakes!!!!!!! :)

Post by: judydawn on June 11, 2012, 06:27:01 am: Perhaps you could turn your batch of cupcakes into the number 3 for her astarra. I like the maturity of her choice of meal too, it looks as though she is a good little eater. I hope she has a happy birthday.

Post by: jakodai on June 11, 2012, 09:47:20 am: I'm making Lellyj's giant meatballs filled mozzarella. So far so good, but the sauce will be much easier with a thermomix. I have an electric stove top that seems to only have one temperature and keeps bubbling the sauce far too much. Otherwise it looks great, and it smells really nice too. I think the sauce would be good for a quick pasta dinner or something, too.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Tasty on June 11, 2012, 11:44:58 am: Well I decided to use the Thermie for its original intention - making baby food! So I made 'Fish with Cheesy Vegetable Sauce' from Annabel karmel's recipe....well I made part of the meal there but I need to figure out how to convert the whole meal. Certainly a tasty meal however because my little girl is teething again...she wasn't too keen and preferred water crackers isntead :(
Never mind, the rest is frozen for later.

I also made prawn curry from port-a-kitchen website. Nice, mild flavours and another one to add to the 'make again' list.

I've had to, I enjoy cooking too much to not try the beautiful recipes that are on this forum, and I've been waiting for my thermomix for 2 years now! Lol. I'm not the kind of person who backs away from a challenge, and part of me wanted to make the recipes so I would really appreciate the time / energy saving when I finally did get one.

I just wanted to thank you for posting this Tasty, one of the main reasons for me getting a thermomix was to be able to make healthy food for my son (2.5 years) and this recipe (I googled it - http://www.annabelkarmel.com/recipes/babies-6-9-months/tasty-fish-vegetables (http://www.annabelkarmel.com/recipes/babies-6-9-months/tasty-fish-vegetables)) is perfect! I don't eat seafood myself, but I encourage him to because of all of the nutritional goodies that are in it, and I'm adamant that he's not going to have the same food hang ups as I do. I think this recipe would be a great all in one meal, but I'm just guessing. I don't have my thermomix yet, so I'm certainly not speaking from experience but if it were it would be a great, super quick dinner or lunch.

Post by: Tasty on June 11, 2012, 02:56:17 pm: You're welcome Jakodai. Glad it has helped someone. I didn't realise that site existed and I've looked her up. The recipe is slightly different to the one in the book I have. I got my book from the library so you might find one too for ideas. I have also just purchased her book from ebay.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: droverjess on June 11, 2012, 08:20:15 pm: We had fried cod, dipped in egg and breadcrumbs.
Homemade dried crumbs. Dry crusts or old bread cut into squares in a low oven until dried out, maybe pale or golden. then I guess use TMX, these were made before I had my TMX.

Home made potato wedges.
Mushy peas from a tin for some, broccoli for others.

Achookwoman's caramel apple pudding made with rhubarb. Delic. Rest went in freezer for another time as DS won't eat rhubarb and others not here for supper now til Thursday.

It has been playing up - I would set it at 180C and the thermometer I placed in the oven would be at it's absolute maximum. Other times it would be behaving itself and the thermometer would agree with the temperature setting. Uh! I can't cope without an oven for long.
Luckily I have terrific neighbours and I was able to cook the pizzas in their oven. They were so crispy and yummy- I will definitely be making this again ( if I can get my oven fixed). I let the kids choose their own toppings and made one for myself with caramelised garlic paste, red onion, rosemary, pink sea salt and thinly sliced potato.

We normally have a meal from the freezer on my work nights, but I forgot to take one out, and I was held up at work a little bit, so needed something quick and easy. It was actually the first thing other than spaghetti bolognese that DS has eaten lately and basically licked his bowl clean, which has me a little excited. I'm hoping that when my thermomix arrives (in 2 and a half days!!) that I can make a cheese sauce and give him lots of vegetables with cheese sauce. Ahh, the possibilities!!

jakodai I put in loads of blitzed cauliflower and corn when I made the macaroni and cheese and my kids (4 & 2) licked their bowls clean! I felt great, I'm sure there was more veggies than pasta in there, and they had no idea ;)

It has been playing up - I would set it at 180C and the thermometer I placed in the oven would be at it's absolute maximum. Other times it would be behaving itself and the thermometer would agree with the temperature setting. Uh! I can't cope without an oven for long.
Luckily I have terrific neighbours and I was able to cook the pizzas in their oven. They were so crispy and yummy- I will definitely be making this again ( if I can get my oven fixed). I let the kids choose their own toppings and made one for myself with caramelised garlic paste, red onion, rosemary, pink sea salt and thinly sliced potato.
Oh no ES! I use my oven so much more now, would be at a loss if it went on the blink. Hope you get it fixed ASAP

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on June 14, 2012, 06:44:16 am: Thanks Judy.

Stroganoff with no mushrooms - unheard of in our house ;D I've always used the womens weekly stoganoff recipe and it's a family favourite although only a treat because we only like it made with eye fillet steak. I'll give Chelsea's a go one day as it gets great reviews.

Post by: droverjess on June 14, 2012, 07:54:32 am: Rump steak and new potatoes tonight. Plus veg.
DH back today and DD arriving a day early and only have 3 steaks. Off for rummage in freezer, I may end up with eggs!

Will think of pudding too. Only 2 lemon puddings left in fridge, maybe DS and I will have for lunch.
Maybe butterscotch self saucing, will let you know what I decide.

Sunny today, 2 days in a row. Unbelievable! Must ride pony too as 3 days heavy rain predicted next.
Plus plant more plants as the new garden is the only thing benefitting from worst rainy summer ever.
Plus some work, ah well every day is busy.

Post by: EmeraldSue on June 14, 2012, 11:40:37 am: After last night's drama of the oven not working, my DH unscrewed it and had a look but is none the wiser. I rang the supplier and was asked "is it on automatic?". Duh!
Apparently, if there is a power surge, the oven will switch over to automatic mode all by itself. I looked, and of course the little A symbol was on. Once I went though the rigmarole of taking it off automatic, it turned on. Yay! Problem is, there are a pile of screws on the benchtop and metal parts all over the kitchen. I just have to wait for DH to put it back together LOL.
This oven is the bane of my life. The previous owners of the house didn't leave me an instruction manual, and when we finally moved in, just before Christmas one year, it was stuck on automAtic. I had to ring around a lot to find a supplier who promised me a manual which never eventuated. I had all my family due for Christmas lunch at our house and I couldn't get the $$&@&$ oven to work. I eventually found a manual on the internet and worked out how to get it off automatic.
The knobs are very imprecise and lately the temperature is erratic.
Anyway, enough ranting!
For dinner tonight we had fish with broccoli and cauliflower with the awesome cheese sauce and other veges. Everyone enjoyed it except my fussy DS who declared the sauce "disgusting". However, if I listened to his opinion we would have takeaway or pasta carbonara every night!

Post by: stacelee on June 15, 2012, 07:38:47 pm: It goes in its case and then the case is wrapped in two layers of bubble wrap. The music department have insisted that anyone with brass instruments and woodwind wrap the cases. Apparently when they have gone to england before a flugelhorn was flattened. I don't think it will come back as well wrapped as it is going.

I'm planning to be a nice mother and make pancakes for breakfast with Herman, but that will probably be the limit of my cooking today. Unless I find something that inspires me at the deli. To keep on topic, dinner might be beef stroganoff in the thermomix if I get the urge.....otherwise the husband and daughter can have bonding time in the kitchen while she enjoys being an only child.

DH not keen on fish but will eat fried cod, haddock, kids love salmon, he doesn't. We have fish pie when no DH but just us 3.
DS is into low cab lots of protein but since I buy and cook he has to compromise a bit. DD easiest of all. Step 3 not here much but we always do traditional good meals roasts, or gammon when they come.

My kids were in childcare so it was usually pretty late by the time I got them home so they just had to eat whatever my husband and I were eating and I really don't like what my mother used to call nursery food....even now I have to be nagged to make something like mashed potato....I'm not a fan of mushy vegetables.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: gertbysea on June 16, 2012, 10:55:27 pm: Droverjess I envy you your sheep. Itis Sunday morning here ans nothing better than a Sunday Dinner of Roast Lamb. Sadly that is a thing of the past. I can't remember the last time I cooked a leg of lamb. I cannot being myself to pay the price. I saw some very ordinary Lamb chose in Woolier on Friday for $38.95 a kilo. The crap ones were only $19.95 a kilo.

For dinner to day we have a choice of ham and pea soup,or Thai pork and vegetable soup. Hopefully I will have reached the bottom of my freezer by next Sunday as that is where the duck lies next to the box of frozen cherries. Something to look forward to. Beer ass Duck with cherry sauce. That is the plan. Maybe then I will buy a leg of lamb as a reward but it will no doubt mean a huge dent in my $100. budget.

Post by: judydawn on June 17, 2012, 02:45:35 am: I don't look at the price per kilo Amy, I look at the price per meal so not sure how much a kg lamb chops are here at the moment. Will take more notice next time I shop.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: obbie on June 17, 2012, 03:20:10 am: My DH bought some meat yesterday.
2 lamb roast, 6 kilos of beef mince. 24 lamb chops, ox tail, 4 kilos of sausages, 6 t bone steaks, couple of kilos of bbq steak, and 2 kilos of crumbed steak,
for $300

that should do us till we get a half side of beef again.

That is probably a better way to look at prices, Judy, maybe I should start thinking like that. It will be interesting to see if there is much price difference between our lamb chops :-\

That sounds like a lot of meat Robyn! But for $300 its probably a good deal ;)

Post by: EmeraldSue on June 17, 2012, 06:11:17 am: I used to get really good meat (lamb, pork and goat) at a reasonable price at the growers market, but unfortunately, that producer doesn't come any more. I find that our local supermarket sells packs of lamb or pork offcuts for $9.50 kg. These are great for casseroles or curries. I bought a couple of packs of lamb this week which I will cook in the PC. I will let it sit overnight in the fridge so that the fat solidifies and I can remove it before I reheat it.
There is a new meat stall at the market who often has good specials, and I have ordered some beef cheeks for next week. I've never cooked them before, so I will need to look through my PC books for a recipe. A local restaurant often has a pasta dish with beef cheeks on its menu which is divine, so I'm looking forward to next weekend.

It was slightly overlooked because the temp in my oven is still very erratic. I set the dial to 125C and the thermometer in the oven was showing maximum (over 230C). I managed to adjust it, but it's the bane of my life at the moment. I have a batch of jam drop biscuits to go in the oven,wish me luck!

I use this sauce too Maddy, it's beautiful. I make a big batch of it though. Did you cook it on the stovetop or in the thermomix? I tried to do it in the thermomix last night but it wasn't thickening so I ended up doing it in the stove top instead.

Tonight we're having Chelsea's Bangers & Mash in tasty onion gravy. All in one meals - one of the biggest reasons I wanted a thermomix.

I had half a chorizo, a kransky sausage, and the chicken, so I added these to a tin of tomatoes and a small jar of pasta sauce and some olives.
I have also made a moroccan lamb dish in the PC, with help from the TC for dinner tomorrow night
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: droverjess on June 18, 2012, 05:31:39 pm: The leg of lamb is in the oven.

Adapted from this http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2005/mar/20/foodanddrink.recipes

The rub was made in *: just all blitzed.
Then put the water in *: to get all flavour out of bowl.

Then sliced onions and potatoes in processor.
Layered in baking dish with salt and pepper and plain flour on each layer. 3/4 fill dish with milk, cover with butter papers and foil. Slow cook.
Last half hour take off covers to brown top.

It is a forgiving dish, can be done very slowly, or a bit faster depends what else oven used for.

Still got no car so no shopping. Found some red cabbage in freezer already cooked, plus French beans and broccoli, all home grown. And just enough softish raspberries to have 5 each on top of chookies choc delight.

Don't know when I will have car back makes housekeeping impossible, although DD is stopping for few things on way home from work.

Am having another rest til 7pm, apart from basting lamb.
Visitors come at 7.30.

I've made up a quick marinade in the TM of fresh sage leaves, garlic and olive oil and have a pork fillet marinating in it. Will season and wrap with prosciutto then drizzle the marinade over the top and roast covered with wet baking paper, then will finish it off uncovered for the prosciutto to crispen up. Am feeling like mashed potatoes and vegies to go with.

Also made creme brulees yesterday to serve after. :D

Yeah, I was surprised it was 'only' $1 too, considering she brought the empty container home and it was a decent size - 280ml. I would say it was mostly full too because of the ring around the edge.

I actually can't believe that! At my old school canteen (just a few years ago :-))) something like that probably would have cost anywhere between $3-$5. Your daughter got a very good deal.... :)

The other fish I love are Leatherjackets. We used to throw them unskinned onto the bbq and when they were cooked the skin would just peel away leaving lovely white flesh. We used to catch them and snapper out near Flat Rock off of Stradbroke Island. We also used to catch Summer and Winter Whiting in the Blue Hole not far from Tangalooma. Nothing quite like freshly caught fish.

Yes Amy, they are rather small fish and I had a bit of egg leftover from basting the bread rolls yesterday so I decided to crumb the fish this time. Pan fried in a small amount of rice bran oil.

I also tried a new method with the chips too. Cut the potatoes into wedges, placed in the thermomix bowl, covered with cold water and parcooked for 15 minutes/100^o/reverse/speed 1. Drained them well, tossed them in oil and sprinkled with a potato seasoning Chookie gave me from a Melbourne supplier. They were really tasty.

Post by: JulieO on June 25, 2012, 08:18:19 am: I converted a recipe from the Taste site (below) called Lamb & (fresh) Quince Tagine to make in my PC. Only took 30 mins instead of the 1 1/2 - 2 hours in the oven. It also had sweet potato and chickpeas in it.

Was so lovely, nice flavours and not too sweet. Served over couscous. (You can see steam coming out on the right hand side) ;D

Post by: EmeraldSue on June 25, 2012, 12:31:31 pm: Tonight we had chicken risotto http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1858.0 (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1858.0). I added some broccoli to it and cooked it at a lower temperature as I seem to be burning things at the moment. It was still quite nutty and could have been cooked a little longer. However, there is only a little left over for my lunch tomorrow, so it couldn't have been too bad.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on June 25, 2012, 01:15:51 pm: Beautiful pies Hally :D

The pasta fagioli wasn't too bad, but I should have taken the MC off to let it thicken more. We prefer it thicker. But I was in a hurry so I forgot :-))
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on June 25, 2012, 01:21:31 pm: It looks really nice Amy. Did you add anything over and above what the recipe says to increase the flavour because, if you didn't already know, I really hate that recipe ;D ;D ;D ;D I know others love it but it's just me and as soon as I hear the word fagioli I can't help myself. If you wanted it thicker you could have left it in the bowl for a while or put it in the thermosaver like we do with risotto to thicken.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on June 25, 2012, 01:45:35 pm: LOL Judy, I think I may have read somewhere on the forum that its not your favourite dish... :-))
Thank you for your compliment anyway! ;D I was going to add some fresh basil, which I thought would give the dish a much needed boost, but when I checked my little herb pot, all that was left of my basil plant were some ugly, chewed looking stems. The grubbies have had a good munch on it :(
So we just had plain old basil-less pasta fagioli :P

Post by: Tasty on June 26, 2012, 11:58:51 am: Made the 'fish curry with rice' from the forum here. It's actually such a lovely dish but I spoilt it a bit by using dried lemongrass (as I forgot to buy the fresh stuff) and it took longer than normal to cook as the fish fillets I bought were too big and thick. Hubby liked it regardless and will add to the 'make again' list.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: droverjess on June 26, 2012, 10:29:49 pm: Made two flans for supper used JB,s Spanish shortcuts pastry from on here. Used some 00 flour in mix and no sugar.

Coleslaw/raw salad cross in TMX with 1 t mayo, and then oil and lemon juice as mayo ran out
Potato salad, sliced tomatoes and mozzarella slices, cooked fine green beans.

Made strawberry fool from dessert section on here.

Post by: DizzyGirl on June 27, 2012, 06:06:59 am: Try this one I use it for curried sausages all the time. I have also used chicken thighs instead of sausages. If you like a spicier curry add a Tspn of curry paste.

Ingredients
200 grams basmati rice
1 liter water
20 gram oil
1 small green apple
2 onions
1 kg sausages
1 tbsp curry powder
2 cups water mixed with 1 tbsp vege stock
1 tbsp flour

Method
Place rice into basket and rinse. Add water to TM bowl and insert basket.
Place sausages in varoma tray and place on top of TMX. Cook for 25 mins/Varoma/speed 4.
Remove rice and keep warm. Set aside sausages to cool slightly.
Drain water from TMX and add apple and onion to bowl - chop for 5 secs/speed 5.
Add oil & curry powder to the bowl. Sauté for 3 mins/Varoma/speed soft.
Add stock and flour and cook 5 minutes 100° Speed 1.
Remove skins from sausages and slice.
Add sausages to the curry mix and cook for 5 min 100° reverse speed 1 to coat sausages.
Serve with rice.

I was a bit worried about the meat sauce in the lasagne as I'd tried to hide several purple carrots in it and the sauce was very dark. Luckily it tasted good and nobody even noticed that I replaced half of the cheese sauce with puréed cauliflower. Hee Hee!

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Tasty on June 27, 2012, 02:25:15 pm: Lovely dinners Julie, Mandi and Amy and that selfsaucing pudding looks so inviting EmeraldSue.

Amy - I've been wanting to try more stirfries. Did you make that in the TMX by any chance or did you use a wok? Would love the recipe.

We were meant to have the roasted butternut and apple soup for dinner but my parents came over and had it for lunch. I only got a taste as hubby took some for lunch too and it only serves 3.

So I made some African Quinoa Stew instead.

Julie, you're really selling me those pan-fried grapes ;D Next time we have grapes I think I will try them like that ;)

Tasty, I did use my wok for this one because I haven't liked the way my stirfries have turned out in the TMX when I have done them in there before :P I cheated in this one and used a bottled sauce (I wanted to get it out of the pantry) but I can give you the recipe for my usual one which uses a blend of spices if you like? :D

:)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on June 28, 2012, 02:57:06 am: I still cook as it's mainly meat, chicken, seafood that I have in my freezers from when I see something on special or if I didn't get around to cooking what I intended to on any given day that week. Occasionally there will be something like cottage pie filling that I just need to heat and add fresh mashed potatoes, or individual pies that are ready to bake, but again I need to make the accompniments to go with.

Generally any left over meals gets portioned into containers and goes into a separate freezer that I have just for my DH's meals for work. He can grab something out there and know it will be a good meal for work.

I remember years ago being advised that meat especially starts to deteriorate after 3 months in most domestic freezers, so have always done the 3 monthly clear out to avoid this. :)

Try this one I use it for curried sausages all the time. I have also used chicken thighs instead of sausages. If you like a spicier curry add a Tspn of curry paste.

Ingredients
200 grams basmati rice
1 liter water
20 gram oil
1 small green apple
2 onions
1 kg sausages
1 tbsp curry powder
2 cups water mixed with 1 tbsp vege stock
1 tbsp flour

Method
Place rice into basket and rinse. Add water to TM bowl and insert basket.
Place sausages in varoma tray and place on top of TMX. Cook for 25 mins/Varoma/speed 4.
Remove rice and keep warm. Set aside sausages to cool slightly.
Drain water from TMX and add apple and onion to bowl - chop for 5 secs/speed 5.
Add oil & curry powder to the bowl. Sauté for 3 mins/Varoma/speed soft.
Add stock and flour and cook 5 minutes 100° Speed 1.
Remove skins from sausages and slice.
Add sausages to the curry mix and cook for 5 min 100° reverse speed 1 to coat sausages.
Serve with rice.

Just an update DG on the curried chicken, it really was very yummy and enjoyed by all. Have printed it out and modified it for chicken curry ready for next time.

Post by: Amy :-) on June 28, 2012, 11:42:51 am: I made up this recipe for Borlotti Bean and Vegetable Bolognese. It was delicious! I'll be posting the recipe soon because I would love for others to try it too :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Tasty on June 28, 2012, 03:16:54 pm: Amy - the bolognese is not one for me as I am not a fan of beans however I am slowly increasing the variety of beans I'm eating.

We had tuna pasta for dinner. Just a simple meal.

Halex - I would love it if I didn't have to cook. It's not something I particularly enjoy but a TMX does make it easier for some meals.

Lucky girl! enjoy the weekend 8)

Cooked Suzanne Gibbs rich beef casserole in the PC

(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/535521d3.jpg?t=1340964878)

.....every component was cooked perfectly, but the flavours didn't wow me....didn't really taste the red wine or thyme :-\ so I added in a few squirts of this stuff from Aldi

(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/51fm62BZxB-L.jpg?t=1340966636)

much better! Going back to Aldi's to get some more while it lasts....it's good stuff :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on June 29, 2012, 11:50:16 am: I wish we had an Aldi store in South Australia . That looks good,
My DH just said the the mornay was extra creamy today. That's because I padded it out with puréed cauliflower. Hee Hee

Post by: JulieO on June 29, 2012, 12:06:49 pm: Maddy, it's good that you were able to add something to jazz it up for you. I know some red wines are stronger tasting than others. I must have picked a good one that day ;D

Post by: droverjess on June 30, 2012, 09:48:02 pm: Steak, peas, new potatoes and creme caramel ( a cheat by Bon Maman).

Steak was disappointing and it was from another farmer. Ah well, won't buy their beef again. But won't have to as have whole beef heifer of our very own coming ready soon.

Roast chicken tomorrow though.

Sounds like you enjoy your BBQ's Robyn ;D
What sort of things do you like to cook on your BBQ? When we had one, I used to love garlic prawns, chicken kebabs and thinly sliced potatoes. Usually served with TMX coleslaw and beetroot salad ;)
I think I may need to go out and buy another BBQ :-))

Dinner tonight is little lamb steaks with wedges and peas. Just an easy Sunday night dinner :)

Although mince is so versatile and can make heaps of differed dishes.

Burgers, what else. Not sure f I woukd buy it, can get round its on our coat of arms.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: dede on July 02, 2012, 11:23:30 am: It's very similar to a very good quality lean beef mince.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on July 02, 2012, 11:29:59 am: I used to use kangaroo mince in my lasagne, but haven't done so for ages. It has quite a strong smell when you fry it off, but it tastes similar to beef when it is cooked in dishes. These days I just buy it for cat food. I should give it another go.

Lol. No not a chance. But there is one draw back of eating kangaroo, and that is it makes you fart :o

I'm so glad you felt you could share that with the entire forum Mandi :D :D :D
And now I'm going to ask a really awkward question :-)) Does it make you fart worse than lentils do?

Quote from: astarra on July 03, 2012, 07:21:40 am
Dinner tonight is being delivered to us ready to eat by a dear SIL. ;D

Astarra, how nice of SIL to bring you a meal. If I lived closer, I would come and cook you up a three course dinner, do all the washing up and then give you a foot massage :-*

Thanx Amy!! Was very nice of you to think like that! :D

Post by: mcmich on July 04, 2012, 06:04:51 am: No, not on the forum - just made it up as I went along.
I wasn't actually making patties, started to chop vegies for a salad and over blended so added some more ingredients and turned it into patties. They were very nice though and DH enjoyed them.

O.M.G. It was divine. I want to have it for lunch tomorrow. And dinner. And then lunch on Friday as well. I was SHOCKED at how delicious it was :o

Gert, where do these things keep appearing from? Was it under the duck?

The new fridge has a pull out drawer in the freezer that catches the ice cubes on one side and on the other is a container that had some frozen peas in but UNDER the peas I found this pathetic disgusting excuse for a pie. Must have been out of my mind to buy that or maybe it was a punishment pie. I also found some smoked salmon.

Everything is definitely gone except for the prawns, the big hunk of beef and some boiling bacon.. Definitely.

I am very temptd to eat any protein in the pantry before shopping but do not think Spam is a meal item. Beans and lentils for a week? There is tuna and crab. Gunna think on that . Might work and really clean out the pantry. I love H for starting all this.

How are you doing?

If the pie was punishment then you should have fed it to someone else. Maybe a certain someone that won't share his port.

I'm not making much headway with the freezer but have used up a few things in the pantry. this weekend I've asked DH to use up the pork belly for his DD and himself. I don't eat pork. I will have a tin of soup and toast. On the bright side i have nearly used up a tube of manuka honey body lotion. Thought i would do the least favourites first but coming to the end of the tube I'm quite enjoying it now and my skin is enjoying it too.

Tonight my Mum made us dinner.. lamb chops, gravy, veges. Yummy.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on July 06, 2012, 10:32:25 am: We had roast lamb & vegies, weber style tonight - another rushed meal seeing as I had been out but cooked and served up in just over an hour.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on July 06, 2012, 10:36:37 am: Gert, I must say your vegetables do look very scrumptious, especially next to that chunk of... pie ;D

I need to clear out our freezer too. There are lots of random chicken breasts, pieces of fish, and bags of things that I didn't write on so will remain a surprise until they are defrosted and inspected closely :-))

Tonigh we are having fish (pink snapper) and steamed vegetables :D

Post by: Katiej on July 06, 2012, 11:28:27 am: Gert I can't imagine you buying a home brand frozen pie.

Too tired to cook, so my DH had leftover shepherds pie from the freezer and I had eggs on toast.

Post by: jakodai on July 09, 2012, 02:39:38 am: Chicken Breast with Lemon Sauce and vegetables for dinner at my place tonight. Nothing too big for a work night. I was going to take some casserole out of the freezer, but since I've had my thermomix I've been eating everything freshly cooked and the last meal I had out of the freezer Non-TMX Sweet & Sour Chicken) didn't taste as good as it normally does. The meal itself was OK, but the capsicum wasn't that great so it's kind of put me off a little bit. I haven't done my shopping yet, meal planning this week has been a little difficult with my dad staying and my assignment being due last night. I might just take it as it comes this week, try and use what's in the pantry and freezer and buy the little bits I need as I need them.

Home version made with milk and no cream and low fat cheese. May toss in some spinach too. I'll serve it with whatever vegies are left in the fridge. If they look too tired I might turn them into a vegie fried rice.

Kangaroo....I use it in Bol sauce but find it strong in taste. To compensate I add a little Golden Syrup and a touch of cinnamon. The fussy BBBBBB's that I feed don't know.

Post by: JulieO on July 11, 2012, 11:53:58 am: Your turkey looks nice and moist Amy. :D

I made a pot of sweet potato soup. Used the TM to chop all the veg and had the intentions to cook it in there, but once everything was ready to go there were too many ingredients, so i cooked in a casserole pot on the stove top. It reduced down to 2 litres so I was able to carefully pour it into the TM to puree.

DH really liked it but it was just a bit too sweet for me, so will tweak it next time, maybe add more potato and less sweet potato. I just grilled some turkish bread to have with. :)

I can't bear the thought of eating duck. There is a duck pond down the road from us and I don't like to think of the little ducklings being on someone's plate :(

Post by: EmeraldSue on July 12, 2012, 10:48:53 am: Duck is really yummy, especially tea smoked duck. I wish I was having it for dinner tonight. Amy, ducklings are really cute, but so are fluffy chicks.
Tonight we are having pea and ham soup in the PC and ciabatta loaf. The loaf has spread out rather a lot this time, it was really runny when I took it out of the bowl - perhaps I should have cooked it in a tin?

Can't cope with liver and kidneys after nasty school dinner experiences as a kid 😝. Brains too mushy but pigs trotters are nice. Tried duck tongue recently - really tasty, surprised they had a gristly bone in them.

We only have the pancake portion and there wasn't a lot of meat. 16 pancakes all up plus a few entrees was plenty for us. It's a bit of a treat but at $50 for the sixteen small pancakes not to bad, if we were bigger eaters it would be even more of a treat. It's more about the crispy skin, plum sauce and pancakes more than the tasteof the actual meat. I will ave to look up bamboo house as we are always looking for new places to try.

Even though the kitchen reno is still not finished, the oven, steam oven and coffee maker are installed and working, so we cant resist using them - even though it means running back and forth into the new extension with things for the ovens. But I had to do something in the TMX so it didn't feel left out and unloved with all the new appliances arriving :D

Post by: KarenH on July 14, 2012, 08:14:07 am: Its very close now JD - just waiting for the splashback to go in, and then the final plumbing and electrical stuff.

I am so very excited - but it is also strange - the ovens are so high-tech and do so many things that it is a bit overwhelming. When I was 20-30 years old, I would have taken all the new gadgets in my stride, but now that I have a few extra years on the scoreboard, it is actually a bit intimidating. I was trying to bake a cake in the new oven, and found myself wishing for a simple one that you just turn on, set the temperature, and off you go :-))
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on July 14, 2012, 08:18:28 am: KarenH, how exciting. What brand are your new appliances?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: KarenH on July 14, 2012, 08:29:35 am: All Miele ......they are absolutely gorgeous.

Yes mcmich - we are very lucky to have a built-in coffee machine. We decided not to have a microwave at all, since we were told that a steam oven virtually replaces a microwave (which we will soon find out if that is true or not ;)) so we built in the coffee machine where a microwave would have been.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on July 14, 2012, 08:30:51 am: We have miele. Love them :)
Thought they might be as high tech :)
Miele have a great support system

I can relate to that Karen - mine is too high tech for me too. When GS was younger he fiddled with the knobs and I had no idea how to reset it - had to call Miele out :-)) Lucky for me they didn't charge ;D

Post by: johnro on July 14, 2012, 10:37:11 am: The pyrolytic function is wonderful on the Miele oven Karen - the high temp cooks grime and fat from the inside, virtually cleaning themselves and just wipe clean. Cleaning the oven was a task which was rarely done in our last home!!!!!! :) :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: KarenH on July 14, 2012, 10:41:11 am: One of the reasons I chose that oven johnro! I hate cleaning ovens ....... almost as much as I hate ironing. Now all Miele needs to invent is a triple function washing machine that washes, dries, irons and folds. I could probably cope with putting the washing away ;D

Post by: JulieO on July 14, 2012, 11:11:41 pm: Yesterday I converted this recipe to make in my pc and once the filling was cooked (30 mins) placed in individual dishes, topped with the buttered potato and baked until crisp. Was really good but quite rich in flavour. I would like to use this filling for gourmet pies (minus the potato) so will try that at some stage.

Moved some of the potato away for the photo. :)

Post by: mcmich on July 14, 2012, 11:54:29 pm: That looks beautiful Julie. Haow much did you reduce the liquid by? I was thinking of just adding the wine and tomatoes and powdered stock. Do you think this would work?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on July 14, 2012, 11:58:07 pm: Looks delish. Will give this. Go if I know the amounts.

:)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on July 15, 2012, 12:08:33 am: This is what I did. I didn't reduce the stock as I knew I would be putting the meal in the oven at the end to crispen up the potato and I didn't want it to dry out.

CRISPY POTATO & BEEF PIE
2 tbsp olive oil
1kg beef chuck steak, cut into 3cm pieces
1 large brown onion, cut into wedges
4 bacon rashers, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
200g button mushrooms, thickly sliced (used egg slicer)
½ cup red wine
400g can Heinz Big Red tomato soup
2 cups beef stock
1 cube umami paste
sprinkle chicken granules
2-3 small desiree potatoes, very thinly sliced (used v slicer)
50g butter, melted
Thyme sprigs
Steamed peas, to serve

Heat half the oil in a pc over high heat. Add ¼ of the beef and cook turning occasionally, for a few mins until brown all over. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoonl. Repeat in 3 more batches with remaining beef.

Turn down heat slightly and heat remaining oil in the pot. Add the onion and bacon and cook stirring, for 5 mins or until onion softens.
Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 mins or until tender.
Add garlic and cook stirring for only 20-30 secs until aromatic.
Add the beef back in and any juices, along with the wine, tomato soup, stock, umami and granules. Give a good stir, cover with lid and bring to high pressure over high heat. Once stabilised, cook 25 mins. Preheat oven 220C.

Release pressure using nrm.

Spoon into individual dishes. (ones not needed can be frozen for another time).
Combine the potato and melted butter in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Arrange the potato slices over the beef. Sprinkle with thyme leaves.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and crispy.

I used the pizza Bianca dough, from the demo leaflet. I love this, as it's really quick and only 10 minutes resting.
If you want the recipe, I can post it.

I just rolled it out onto a large cookie tray (lined with grease proof paper), brushed lightly with olive oil, spread over 4 small crushed garlic cloves, sprinkled with dried Italian herbs, scattered on a pizza blend of cheese and diced bacon.
Just add any toppings you like really :)

Thankyou for the comments. My DH has gone to work for nightshift, a 12 hour shift till 7am. I really wanted him to stay home, but he said they are too busy. At least after this shift he's off until next Monday morning so will have plenty of time to recover. :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on July 17, 2012, 01:11:18 pm: Golly gosh ES, that is a long shift for DH :o
What does he do?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on July 17, 2012, 01:18:37 pm: Yes he does 12 hour shifts, very busy work. He's a shift leader and works in a laboratory. :)

Post by: judydawn on July 17, 2012, 01:23:49 pm: Going to be a long night for DH Julie if he is not well but the nice break at the end of it will give him plenty of time to get nursed back to good health with your lovely cooking.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: gertbysea on July 17, 2012, 01:31:32 pm: I do feel sorry for the long shift for DH but it is good to know that such an expensive facility is working around the clock to make full use of it.

Yes, he's used to the 12 hour shifts been doing them for 16 years now. The good side to that is they get good breaks.

Thanks Judy, he's not one to be sick very often so I do enjoy spoiling him when he is. He does the same for me though so it works out well. ;D

Yes yes Hally, Thank you. Shepard's pie tomorrow night :D

Ok now I have decided that how do I do it? I have never made Shepard's pie with left over cooked meat
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on July 18, 2012, 02:13:30 am: Haven't decided yet. Today is shopping day. It might be a good day to take some of the food from the freezer and eat it.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mcmich on July 18, 2012, 02:15:53 am: Dede, just the same as making it with mince. Chop the left over meat up finely add the vegies and sause/gravy.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: dede on July 18, 2012, 02:19:19 am: Thanks Michelle. Will give it a go. No one in this family eats left over cold pork so this will be a good way to use it up and no wastage :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: astarra on July 18, 2012, 02:37:41 am: Shepherd's pie or pies in your pie maker with cold pork... both yum! :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on July 18, 2012, 02:48:46 am: Dede,
Just a rough guide of what I do, you can use any meat

1kg floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper, peeled
150g butter
Knob of beef dripping (optional)
2 onions, chopped
2 carrots, diced
2 sticks celery, diced
1 tsp dried thyme
600g shin of beef, chopped into small pieces
350ml good quality beef stock
1 tsp cornflour
Worcestershire sauce

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Cut your potatoes into evenly sized chunks, and put in a large pan of cold, salted water. Bring to the boil and simmer until tender.

2. Meanwhile, heat the dripping, if you have any left over from your last roast, or butter in a pan over a moderate heat, then add the vegetables. Soften, but do not brown.

3. Add the thyme, and then the beef. Brown it all over, and then add half the stock. Whisk the other half with the cornflour, and then stir into the meat mixture. Add a generous dash of Worcestershire sauce and allow to simmer on a low heat for 15 minutes.

4. Drain the potatoes and mash with a generous slab of butter. Season to taste.

5. Taste and season the meat, adding more Worcestershire sauce if necessary. If it looks dry, pour in a little water.

6. Put the meat into a large baking dish and top with the potato. For a nice crispy top, I like to add it in lumps, or you can run a fork over the top if you prefer. Dot with small pieces of butter.

7. Put into the oven for about 40 minutes, until the potato is crisp and slightly brown, then serve.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on July 18, 2012, 07:43:42 am: Hally where do you get Maris Piper potatoes please?

Dinner tonight is French Onion soup casserole and a new type of potato dish. If it's nice I'll post it. Corn and a green vegie followed by leftovers of the Apple Risotto.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on July 18, 2012, 12:17:54 pm: I thought I'd do another review for Hally's thread, so I cooked CarolineW's citrus chevron chops (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2055.0 (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2055.0)). Since I don't eat red meat, I couldn't review this one myself, but mum said that it was really nice apart from being a bit sweet :-))

Post by: droverjess on July 18, 2012, 08:43:06 pm: Brons steamed rice which FAILED.... And after 20 extra minutes in *: had to be boiled for 2 mins in a pan on the hob as the rest of the meal was spoiling.

Pork fillet, thinly sliced and fried in butter with shallots and Thai seasoning mix from Waitrose http://www.waitrose.com/shop/ProductView-10317-10001-61666-Waitrose+Cook's+Ingredients+spicy+thai+mix

In another pan large red onion, leek, orange pepper and thinly shredded cabbage sweated in butter.

Sauce made from meat juices and cornflour, water with 1d muscovado sugar and 1d balsamic vinegar.

It was very good in the end but rather stressful when rice failed and everything else was ready. Has wanted to impress DD. it worked last time I made it. I still don't know why? Used short grain rice, weighed everything on my proper scales. Dunno.

Post by: droverjess on July 18, 2012, 09:45:12 pm: Yes. I did and kept adding 3 mins and 3 mins etc.

It is right to do 7 mins without rice then add rice 13 mins?

Post by: EmeraldSue on July 20, 2012, 12:19:51 pm: Julie the photo of your pudding is amazing. We (well me, anyway) felt like chocolate pudding too. We had leftover pasta from last night, and I knew there would be just enough to go round, so I decided to cook dessert tonight. I had 2 pears looking lonely and unloved in the fridge, but couldn't find a recipe for a chocolate pear self saucing pudding, so I muddled one out of a couple of other recipes, reducing the amount of sugar a little. It turned out really nice, despite the fact that my oven temperature was really erratic yet again- when I opened the oven at the end of the cooking time, the thermometer I'd placed inside was showing maximum temp of 230C. Anyway, here are my dodgy photos taken on my iPad before the kids attacked the pudding

Used a large red onion. No garlic.
Salt and pepper.
Almost a mug of water 180mls approx.

But when we were at the vegetable shop today, mum told me she didn't want it :( So I told her we could have something else if she knew what she wanted and we could get the vegetables for it. So she decided on curry, and we got everything she wanted in it.

10 minutes before I was going to start cooking, mum doesn't really want curry any more :-))

So after a moment of mental blankness, I jumped on here for inspiration, and now have em's chicken and vegetable hotpot in the TM ;D

Post by: Greyhoundmum on July 21, 2012, 01:19:24 pm: I have made risotto from EDC and I added quite a bit to it as the first few times I made it wasnt quite enough as we all wanted seconds. While the risotto was cooking I roasted some sweet potato and bacon and steamed some chicken and broccoli in the varoma. I put some spinach leaves in the thermoserver and them tipped it all in together I just about got the lid on and it was plenty for five 2 adults and 3 teens. I also made the apricot walnut and raisin loaf, yum. Have already bookmarked the recipes I am going to make tomorrow. Does the novelty of TMX wear off???!

Good thing potatoes are so versatile Astarra ;D

Well, I did the roast lamb, and I undercooked it :( I had taken it out and let it rest while the vegetables were browing, and when I cut into it, I realised that I hadn't checked it properly and it was still really pink. But since step-dad had already had his insulin shot, I needed to serve something up so that his blood sugar wouldn't drop too low. So I cut just enough meat from around the outside to dish up the meals, and then snuck the rest of the roast back into the oven to finish off :) Nobody will ever know.... ;)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on July 24, 2012, 07:34:38 am: I make it up as I go along :D

Fry some onion and garlic, add the mince, cook it down a bit. Add tomato paste, stock, lentils, spinach, mushrooms, seasoning. Let it simmer for a while. Add some tomato sauce and worcestershire sauce. Thicken with cornflour ;)

Thats the basic idea anyway ;D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on July 24, 2012, 08:43:14 am: Hally, I really enjoyed the butter chicken. For me, it's the nicest one I've made so far, and so quick (20 mins once stabilised). Can't wait for DH to get home to try it. ;D

This recipe used 4 marylands (which I removed the skin before cooking) and once cooked, the meat just pulled away from the bones with my fork. Lots of lovely sauce.

Usually with left overs I put into containers for DH for work, not today, I froze the 2 that was left with the sauce, and put the rice in a separate container. Will make for a lovely, quick meal one night for the 2 of us.

For the garam masala, I do make up my own, which I think from the aroma alone is better than the bought stuff. Also instead of buying a tin of tomato puree, I blitzed up a tin of whole toms in the tm to make the puree, otherwise I think I followed the recipe as is. :D

This is one of the marylands.

I might make it and substitute just thighs. Do you think you could do it with boneless thighs?

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on July 24, 2012, 09:17:30 am: Wonder, I can understand your feelings regarding drumsticks, I have never been a huge fan myself but I'm glad I used them, they cooked so well in the pc, just melt in the mouth. Very happy and I won't hesitate to use them again now (in the pc), as long as the skin is taken off.

If you want to use bone less thighs, it would take far less time or they'd go like rubber I think. Maybe try 7 - 10 mins then do a quick release and check. You could finish off on the stove top if they still need extra time. Better to under cook where you can finish off, then to overcook and it be awful. At least you will know after the first time. :)

Hally, will have a look for Jimmy's recipe, I'm sure it's in my files somewhere and will try it too one day.

Thanks Amy. :D

Post by: Wonder on July 25, 2012, 01:30:32 am: Hally, Julie, the recipe for Jimmy's butter chicken that ws converted on here was different to the one we tried from the masterchef website last year. I think from memory he used some unusual spices that weren't inlcuded in the conversion. We tried it and I don't remember anyone asking for it again in our house so it mustn't have been better than the slow cooker one I normally use from the Taste forums. I'm going to try the Taste one in the PC next time but will try the ww one first. DH & i enjoy the one from the Indian cookbook but I don't think it in anyway resembles the butter chicken we have at any of the Indian restaurants in our area and the kids don't enjoy it.

When I get home I'll need to have a look at those packets.

Post by: Halex on July 25, 2012, 05:05:39 am: Thanks Wonder. To get the perfect butter chicken would be good. The one Julie cooked looked really nice. In the UK the Indian restaurants make superb butter chicken & tandori. Never found it to be as good here.

To find the perfect tandori without using a special oven would be good too.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on July 25, 2012, 05:08:19 am: I really don't think you could ever recreate the tandoori exactly. I might have to give Jimmy's another go as it looks pretty good and I'll also give the WW one a go with just thigh fillets and see how I go.

Post by: obbie on July 25, 2012, 07:36:11 am: my kids eat pasta/sauce, noodles, sausages, fish, rissoles, bacon, chicken nuggets.

My DS eats mashed potato sometimes.
My DD eats veges, but not every day.

They both love fruit.

I wish they would try more things..

I do wonder how they have so much energy, and at least I know from experience with my eldest being 20 that they do eventually end up eating most things, all in good time ;D

It looked good and was easy to cook but in the end it reminded me of fagioli and you all know what I think of that ;D Yet I do love baked beans so go figure.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on July 25, 2012, 01:01:39 pm: Is it the big one Judy? I saw that from outside the market last time I visited. Didn't have the time that day to go over and have a look, but I will next time we are in the city. Would love to have a good look around. :D

I made an all in one meal tonight - I like the idea of using the steamer attachment, but rarely do. I made pork meatballs with satay sauce from Thermomix-ers website, with rice in the basket and steamed veggies. I was running late because a friend called in for a cup of tea and I was trying to make bread rolls at the same time. I need to work on my timing as the broccoli was overlooked for my liking. OVERCOOKED!
We liked the meatballs, but prefer the satay sauce that I usually make. No photos because we were too hungry

LOVE Adelaide's Central Market - my mum used to shop there every week, the butcher always gave us kids a free piece of Fritz (shudder at the thought now, but loved it then). And mum used to buy us the 'fish' lollies. Haven't been there for a few years, must do that next time I'm in Adelaide - thermofest sounds like a good idea!

Our local butcher still gives our boys a piece of fritz whenever we go shopping. At least they make their own, so less nasties in it than the mass-produced stuff. So if I am shopping with the kids, I ALWAYS have to buy some meat, even if I dont need any ;)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on July 28, 2012, 02:07:49 pm: Sometimes I do Amy so that they cook the same time as other soft vegies. Other times I just cut an X in the bottom and leave them whole. I'm easy, a brussel sprout is a brussel sprout no matter which way it is served :P

Post by: judydawn on July 29, 2012, 12:03:13 pm: OK, we have established that Amy was not cooking corned beef but if it was nice Amy, don't worry about it. Next time look for the corned variety and you can compare the difference. I'm sure the taste is much different, not necessarily better but different.

Amy - your dinner looked wonderful! How did you do your gravy?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on July 29, 2012, 12:23:02 pm: I just googled it Hally and it said 'eye round' which really doesn't give much of an idea. It is sols as a piece of meat and has no fat or sinew in it. I buy it quite a lot as it is usually cheaper than other cuts and is nice for grilling, roasting casseroling and in face all things. If you google it you'll see it.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on July 29, 2012, 12:34:01 pm: The Gerello roast is also called Eye Round. It is a very lean cut of meat - have a look in the meat section next time you are shopping and you will see it. It is sometimes corned and has a low fat label on it and is the one I try and find if I want a piece of corned meat. Can't always get it though. You may have even seen it cut up as minute steaks as well.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on July 31, 2012, 03:38:10 am: This Nigella one is our fav :)
These mini meatloves are best eaten cold, either dunked in mayo, ketchup, brown sauce or mustard, or sliced up and made into sandwiches with the whole fandango of sauces. I sometimes add lingonberry sauce to the mix too. Throw in a gherkin and some pickles and this is lunch nirvana. Don't forget the napkins though.
If you can't find the A1 sauce at your supermarket it's available online at http://www.americansweets.co.uk/a1-steak-sauce-as-used-by-nigella-lawson-314-p.asp

Add BookmarkfacebooktwitterPin ItEmailPrintshare
INGREDIENTS

500g sausagemeat
500g minced beef
80g quick cook oats
70g A.1. steak sauce - I used regular steak sauce
2 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Maldon salt or 1/2 teaspoon table salt
METHOD
Serves: Makes 12
Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6.
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, mixing really well with your hands or a fork.
Divide the mixture into 12 balls, and then shape them into mini loaves.
Sit the mini meatloaves on a lined baking sheet with space between each and cook in the oven for 30 minutes.
You could eat them hot, but best let them cool and keep in the fridge to slice and eat in sandwiches, or to dip in mayo.

Post by: jakodai on July 31, 2012, 02:04:49 pm: I was looking at that recipe before, Amy, and I'm thinking about trying it, too. I've never really liked mushrooms, but I'm coming around a lot since getting my TMX. I've even added broccoli as a regular vegetable to our meals. I'm thinking of making cauliflower next... I try to eat healthy, but I've never really eaten a lot of different vegetables. In my family growing up it was always just peas, corn carrot & potatoes. I'm trying to make it different with DS, but I know that if I expect him to eat it I need to, too. So we're learning together... :-) I was quite impressed at the supermarket the other day when he pointed to the broccoli and identified it by it's name.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on July 31, 2012, 02:11:17 pm: I would highly recommend it Amanda :D I absolutely love mushrooms and didn't find them too strong in this dish, so it might be a good one for your tastes.
If you want to eat more vegetables but are still adjusting to the tastes, why not do a big batch of low-fat cheese sauce to pour over steamed vegetables? My mum always used to do that. Its a good way to get calcium too :)

Broccoli is excellent, one of the most nutritious vegetables you can eat ;) A gold star for DS knowing its name!! :D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on August 01, 2012, 08:18:37 am: I made this today, the video shows 3 ways of cooking the same recipe. Of course I used my pc.

I steamed some broccoli florets to serve with but ended up stirring them through the mixture at the end before I divided it up between 2 baking dishes.

I think I would also like to add some green beans next time.

Also I used chuck steak instead of gravy beef.

I didn't add as much sour cream to the potatoes as stated, less than 2 tbs, but I'll leave that out next time and just have cheesy mash instead.

This made enough for me to divide between 2 baking dishes, each dish will serve 3 people, though I will increase the meat to 1kg next time.
The extra dish was allowed to cool, then wrapped well and put in the freezer for another night.

http://video.taste.com.au/2242988816/Slowcooked-rich-beef-pie-with-sour-cream-mash

Actual recipe is printed here: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10151072786900628

I cooked for 30 mins in the pc.

Post by: EmeraldSue on August 01, 2012, 12:30:34 pm: That looks really tempting Julie.
It's much nicer than our dinner tonight :(
On impulse yesterday, I bought the WW Pressure Cooker softcover book from the newsagent, so I decided to cook something from it tonight. I made the Beef tangine with spinach and olives. My DD who normally eats everything I put in front of her didn't like it , although she did eat most of it, and my DS hardly ate any of it. DH and I thought it was OK, but I won't make it again.
On the plus side, I did enjoy a much anticipated glass of red wine with it as it is no longer dry July, and the Chia loaf I baked rose really well.

Post by: JulieO on August 01, 2012, 12:45:22 pm: What a shame ES, but sometimes it happens when trying something different. I wasn't so keen on the sour cream in with the potatoes and thankfully didn't add too much otherwise it would have spoiled the meal for me too. :)

I do all our cooking MF :) Oh wait, except for scrambled eggs. My mum does the best scrambled eggs :D
I was invited over to a friend's house for dinner so I didn't get to try the Florida Chicken, but mum said it was really yummy. It had chicken thighs, onion, celery, capsicum, corn, courgette, orange juice, soy sauce, honey and stock in it. It smelled great, I was almost jealous that I didn't have any, but the Moroccan Lentil and Vegetable soup I had at my friend's house was absolutely delicious ;D

I used to use cutlery if it was a nice pizza at a restaraunt. Take-away pizza was always fingers :-)) I don't eat pizza anymore though.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on August 02, 2012, 02:13:13 pm: Halex your Indian feast sounded delicious. We do a lot of Indian cooking and you are right about how much you save compared to takeaway and you have the added knowledge of knowing exactly what's in it. We had takeaway one night last week and was $94.00. Ok we had enough for another meal but when you cook at home there is still plenty leftover for another meal at a third of the cost. Tomorrow Indian on my menu. I had menu envy today when I saw what you were cooking. :-))
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on August 02, 2012, 08:24:17 pm: Thank you Mama Fergie. Yes it was & in the freezer for another night. Finished the tika so will just make that next time & the pilau rice. Yum :)

The great thing about home take aways is they are not sitting in a puddle of oil. I wll tell my dh about your $94 spend.

Post by: maddy on August 03, 2012, 08:33:14 am: The marinade is in a separate pouch, so you don't have to use that one....but it tasted like the Aldi one I buy anyway....probably better really.

Hungarian goulash from MWOC with mash and broccoli.

Tonight it was only DD9 and me. She begged and pleaded for fish (grilled) and chips. I had some veggie patty thingy which turned out to be a giant bubble and squeak. Not bad coming from a fish and chip shop.

Good morning Hally
I have the WW hard cover cookbook and used that recipe to convert for the vegetarian soup in the TM.
I didn't taste the lamb harira but DH had the vego soup the next night and said it was nice.
My kids don't like shanks as they are too fatty. Miss 9 gets turned off her meal if there's fat on her meat so I used trimmed lamb shoulder cut into bit size pieces. The meat (apparently) melted in their mouths.

Post by: Halex on August 04, 2012, 01:08:23 am: Thanks I thought they might have been different recipes. With the shanks I trimmed as much fat off as I could, then took the very little fat off after cooking. Nice recipe.

$15 per 1 kg pack, I bought 2. I figured I don't pay for red meat weekly, so why not.
Definitely they need 7-8 hours on low.....I forgot to turn off slow cooker from keep warm, and I found those ones left were much tender.
They are very meaty....I give up looking for good meaty ribs around here, even the butchers ones looked to be on a diet :-))

I am cooking Indian food and some yummy deserts. already made the butter chicken I added steamed potatoes. have soaked the tapioca for the soufflé orange pudding that is on the British Larder website. Tenina's white choc and raspberry cheesecake is in the varoma now as it needs to cool and set. Then it will be back to mains, will do the tomato and lentil Dahl and a beef rendang. The will need to do two batches of rice as one basket won't feed us all. I am lucky I got my TM in June so have two bowls. I want to be finished cooking before they get here as TMX so noisy!! I'd better get cracking.

They are meaty and beefy and melt away. They jut fell away from the fork. No knife needed. Rich and interesting. No one would know what they are. I trimmed them well of any sinew. Next time I will cook 6 as it is just as easy. Il'l then have two more meals for no extra effort. Really worth doing and no fat. If you like lamb shanks you would love these,

OMG they were delicious!
It had cannellini beans, sun dried tomatoes, onion garlic herbs egg and breadcrumbs.
All made in the TM but of course did not write quantities down.

Oops.

Beef cheeks are really cheap. If you do make Maggie Beers recipe cook at least 6 and freeze what you do not use . I regret only doing the two aS it would have been just as easy to do more.

Yvette there is not such thing as a stupid ? On this forum.

I am at the pub for lunch and cannot remember but I would say yes . I had no beef stock but I did have Bonox which is the best ever beef stock so I added a tablespoon or about to the required amount of liquid.. I used a Shiraz wine, balsamic vinegar and the Bonox in the required amount of liquid. Yup. It is the hint of the orange and the star anise that give it the mystery flavour . I used the Balsamic to replace the VinoCotto which is hard to get here.

I thinks Maggie has another with mustard and verjuice I might try.

Hope that helps.

Astarra I would save the bits. Wash them off and put them in a letter to HO of WW. You will get more than a refund.

Are you sure it was not the piece of paper they often put on the tray under the mince that you did not remove? I have done that myself especially if I am cooking from frozen. Not a problem to remove after cooking anyway.

Yep, I have this fear of leaving those bits on my meat after I left one of those blood catcher things on a chook and roasted it, so I am sure I got all the packaging materials off the mince. This is really weird paper stuff too, nothing like I have ever seen on meat of any sort before. ??? More like paper towel in texture I found when I pulled a biggish bit out, but without the bumps. Really weird and totally gross. :P

We had leftover tuna/mushroom noodles for lunch but GS wanted baked beans and a boiled egg. He then ask Grandpa if he wanted an egg too - of course he said yes. The Home ice-cream van just happened to go past at the right time so we went out and bought a box of choc coated ice-creams to finish off our meal nicely.

His main instruments are all brass, but he used to be a drummer in a band, and since he owns a music business he knows how to play everything else as well. He was also a conductor for many years. He's very musically gifted.

It must be a pretty big band to accommodate a third cornet. What type of music does the band play?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on August 06, 2012, 07:26:56 am: It was the brass band of our town Gert. We were A grade players, won lots of competitions. Repaino was the second position after the solo cornet, so I did pretty well to get up there. I started on third and moved up ;)
Our best concert was called "Swing When You're Winning", it was fantastic, we played heaps of old swing, jazz and blues music, and people got up and danced and had a great time ;D We also did a concert of Hymns in a church, and we did a circus themed concert one year as well ;)

Freezer food for us as well, butter chicken. Found some when I tidied up the freezer the other day, I'm down to about 4 meals in there now.

It builds up so quickly, there is only 3 of us & most recipes feed 4-6 people. So there is always going to be a build up. I have some single portions for dh lunches, but quite often he takes left overs :) but theres still more >:(

You're so right CP.None of the above and to cap it all off we had to eat home made things all the time, like jam and icecream and cakes. We did get to take the farm vehicle and go out into the paddocks in winter and light a fire and cook black sausages and raw potatoes in the ashes. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Can't wait to hear the story. Very hard done by and loved every minute of it. ;) ;)

Post by: jakodai on August 07, 2012, 09:24:42 am: We're having Chicken Nuggets (http://naturalnewagemum.com/2012/03/10/crunchy-chicken-strips-a-healthy-alternative-to-chicken-nuggets-part-one/) and Acti-Fry Chips for dinner tonight. For something that's stereo typically a easy meal, this certainly isn't! lol. The chips take 40 minutes to cook, after you peel, slice & wash them, and the chicken needs to marinade in the greek yoghurt for a while... But they really are great. The greek yoghurt makes the chicken so tender, and even DS who struggles with meat can eat them without a problem.

When I told him we were having 'Chippies & Chicken Nuggets' for dinner, he said 'we'll go to the train station to get them' which is where go for takeaway if we have it (Red Rooster at Southern Cross Station). SERIOUSLY need to get THAT out of his head! :o
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Post by: EmeraldSue on August 08, 2012, 11:20:42 am: I converted my loose recipe for spinach and cheese pie and made the whole thing in the TC. It's one of those recipes that I've never written down and varies, dependant on the ingredients I have to hand. Paris Creek Quark was on special at the market this week, and the rainbow chard is going great guns in the veggie patch. Mind you, I gave up on DS tonight and he had baked beans , toast soldiers and salad for dinner. I had expended so much energy on getting him to do homework, that I couldn't face a battle over dinner. Sigh

So handy, as you make a pile and it keeps in the fridge for ever, well until you eat it. Not TMX but worth making. Will post if anyone interested.

Post by: jakodai on August 09, 2012, 12:47:23 pm: That looks really nice Maddy, I've bookmarked that recipe for future use... :-)

We just had some pressure cooker casserole tonight. I accidentally used white wine vinegar instead of red wine, so the taste isn't as nice. It's amazing some such a small quantity of something can make a difference. We also had some Portuguese rolls with it too. I made Tenina's buttermilk rolls, but didn't really like them. It was probably me, though. I don't think the buttermilk I used was in the best condition.

I manrinated the chicken and then cooked it with bacon in a frypan.
Scooped out enough fried rice for two meals for me before I added the meat however it was sooo delicious that I ate the lot :-))
Family really enjoyed this dish.
So easy to make too!
The only thing I did different was I chopped veggies in tm bowl first then followed the recipe ( without the meat of course)

well I am having a bit of a Cookathon, we have friends coming to dinner and the TMX has been on since 8 am and still got more to cook. I am cooking Indian food and some yummy deserts. already made the butter chicken I added steamed potatoes. have soaked the tapioca for the soufflé orange pudding that is on the British Larder website. Tenina's white choc and raspberry cheesecake is in the varoma now as it needs to cool and set. Then it will be back to mains, will do the tomato and lentil Dahl and a beef rendang. The will need to do two batches of rice as one basket won't feed us all. I am lucky I got my TM in June so have two bowls. I want to be finished cooking before they get here as TMX so noisy!! I'd better get cracking.

Is the recipe for Teninas white choc and raspberry cheesecake on the forum here?

I bought a couple of beef olives from the butcher a couple of days ago as they looked really nice. Cooked them today in a fresh tomato & red wine sauce, with Varoma steamed veg and baked potatoes. There's enough sauce left over to use on pizzas that I'm making on Monday. :)

That sounds great Jadey :D How do you cook it?

Lemon Pepper Salmon (per person) is loosely
1 tbsp mayonnaise (I use fat free but whatever you'd like)
1/2 - 1 tsp Lemon juice (or concentrate)
Pinch of Lemon Pepper Seasoning (add to your own taste)
Mix together

Before coating salmon I normally throw it in a hot pan for 30sec - 1 min to crisp up the skin

Place salmon onto baking tray skin side down and brush onto salmon fillet so well covered (not the skin side of course)

Bake at 180°c fan forced for 12 minutes

Serve with rice or salad or whatever you'd like as a side.

Better than anything I've ever had at a restaurant I love it!!

I had a uni student come over on the weekend to fix our computer and he said he would accept ANY food. Said there is absolutely no food he wouldn't eat. Good, I like non-fussy eaters. So I took out 3 dishes from the freezer and made him some Cornflake biccies. He was so happy, and keeps sending text messages saying how much he is enjoying the food. He actually did me a favour, cos now there is a bit of room to put some more freezer dishes ;D

Tonight my first ever attempt at corned beef (in varoma) with mustard sauce - love silverside but I've never cooked it before. Wish me luck!

I did my silverside like this last week and it was a big success.

Post by: EmeraldSue on August 15, 2012, 12:07:02 pm: Tonight was mixed leftovers. DH bribed the kids to clean their rooms yesterday whilst I was at work with the promise of takeabway Shri Lankan last night, and there was some leftover. He also bought some leftover Chinese home from work today. I cooked some plain rice, Nd steamed some veggies, dim sims and dumplings ( that had been in the freezer) in the TC. It was yummy, and there is just enough left over for my lunch tomorrow. ;D
Just as well, as I got caught up wrapping my goodies for the retreat, and hadn't started cooking dinner before DH got home from work....

P.S....I doubled the chicken, marinade & lemon sauce quantities....but I found there was probably more sauce than needed.....that is unless your mob will drown the rice in it ;)
*** I didn't use the amount of oil suggested, just shallow fried in rice bran oil.

Well, it could be...but the lemons on our tree are reeeealy tart! so not too sweet for the lemons I used.

Post by: jakodai on August 21, 2012, 02:42:41 pm: I need some dinner advice for tomorrow night. I get home from work after picking DS up at 6pm, so things need to happen quickly and I have 500grams of diced beef. My thermomix hasn't been used as much as I'd like lately due to me being unwell with this stupid flu, DS' operation and my assignment so I'd really like to do something in it. I was going to make casserole in the pressure cooker but I'm a little bit worded about prep time and what time we'd end up eating. Any suggestions?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on August 21, 2012, 11:58:41 pm: Could you mince it and cook it into a bolognese sauce Amanda? Or maybe a sauce to have with nachos or tacos?
I wish I could help you out more but I don't cook with a lot of red meat :-\

Used home made beef stock, approx 650g gravy beef, onions, potatoes, carrots & brown mushrooms. Added stock, potatoes, beef & onions 20 mins high pressure, then carrots & mushrooms, 5 mins perfect in PC. It amazes me how tender the beef is. Will serve with fresh chopped herbs from the garden.

The price has gone up a few $ per dish which is OK, what is not OK is the containers are 1/2 the sze they used to be.

Obviously a popular place now & they are cashing in, as dh said this was our last take out there.

Need to find another place thats value for money.

We ate it all & normally there is enough left for a big lunch for someone.

Easy Beef Pot Roast
Serves 2-3

3 tablespoons (45 ml) canola oil
1.5 lb (700 g) pot roast
Salt and pepper 1 onion, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) water or beef stock

Pressure Cooker Recipes
Directions:

Place canola oil and roast in pressure cooker and brown on all sides. Place roast on trivet in cooker. Season roast with salt and pepper. Add chopped onion, bay leaf, and water.

Lock the lid in place and bring to pressure, then lower heat and cook for the suggested time. Allow pressure to drop by the natural release method [1] and remove the lid.

Suggested time for 15 psi pressure cookers (What is a 15 psi pressure cooker?): Cook for 35 minutes on high pressure.

If not sufficiently tender, lock the lid back in place and heat to high pressure for another 5 minutes.

Chicken, cover with sour cream or ranch dressing (depending on whose recipe you are looking at), top with panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan and bake in oven for 25 mins.

Speaking of veal, I bought some veal cutlets at a new butcher in Kojonup. They were so thick! I seasoned them well, coated in OO, then seared in the fry pan and popped them in the oven. Oh my, they were divine! I had some leftover Jus (fantastic Knorr dry mix) and added the few juices that escaped to that.

Mashed sweet and regular potato, steamed purple carrots, regular carrots and a mix of fresh beans, zucchini and tomato with lemon herb seasoning.

Yum! I don't usually go to Koj as its 100km away, but that's where our Vet is, so did a spend up at the real butcher! Such a treat.

We have it as part of a barbecue and if any leftovers we have it on bread rolls with a spicy apple relish and salad. It's delicious. Would be yum in your home made pita bread. :)

my fav way of eating, a little bit of this a little bit of that

Same here Uni ;) it's like party food for dinner that way.

I made a beef & red wine ragu in the pressure cooker, and had it with cracked pepper pasta.
was tasty, but I over shredded the beef in the TM, and well....it looked like poop on a plate :o.....so no photo sorry :P
it took some convincing it didn't taste how it looked! :)

The pizza risotto was lovely Yvette, I will defintely make it again.

The cleaner didn't show up last Monday, I rang the agency at 1.30pm (cleaner was to be here at 12.00md) and they apologised and said the cleaner was sick and they lost my number so couldn't call me. I told them not to worry about sending someone else later in the week and went with another company and that cleaner will start tomorrow. This cleaner has rang me to introduce herself and come over to see exactly what I want cleaned. Sounds like this time it will work out.

GF, I use takeaway type containers for individual meals, tupperware or whatever for large casseroles and zip lock bags for pies and sausage rolls. I aalso vacuum pack meals too.
Be careful with freezer bags as they tend to stick together.

I wouldn't mind having a problem like that Uni. At least I would know there was always healthy meals in the house in case of emergencies ;)

Post by: Halex on September 10, 2012, 11:52:13 pm: Amy, it is nice to know that if I am sick there are decent meals to eat. Now I have the pc (when it works) I will always have chicken stock or bones in the freezer to make healthy soup.

Nice not to cook the few days before leaving for a holiday or when you come back if your tired.

But, WARNING....... it is too easy to make food in the TM for the freezer.

I always have spagetti bolenese sauce in the freezer, I have about 4 lasanges frozen in pyrex dishes with lids, to pull out when I am tired, and pop into the oven.

I also make up chicken nuggetts for the kids and freeze.
I have 3 bags of frozen avacado.
lime juice, lemon juice.

Tonight is crumbed barramundi and veges. :D

They have a double zip lock and there is no need to double bag soups, casseroles etc.

JulieO, I have been thinking of making the lamb shanks recipe this weekend but the original recipe calls for pumpkin purée - did you purée pumpkin or omit it?

Courton, yes I did, but I found adding it at the beginning as per the recipe that it made the sauce too thick for bringing to pressure in my pc. I managed in the end though and it tasted so good that I've amended the recipe for myself so next time I will only add the puree at the end of cooking time which should combat the problem.

I wouldn't think if following the original recipe though (in the oven) that this problem would occur. Lovely flavours. :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on September 11, 2012, 07:47:13 am: We had an early tea tonight because DH has to leave soon for a 14 hour nightshift.

The lamb shanks meal from the freezer was lovely, this is 1 1/2 of them leaning against each other. Only had to pull the meat away from the bones with a fork, so tender.

Plus I finally made the pear tarte tatin for after, so nice and just the right amount of sweetness for us. Sometimes these things can be sickly sweet IMO, but this was just right. :D

Just need to do a clean up then will sit down and watch some downloaded tv. I'm set for the night. ;D

Our jumpers smell a little smoky but our burgers were deeeeeeelish. A little girl was sitting there in her polar fleece dressing gown and I was a little on edge the whole time It was so nice being next to the open fire, and the burgers were so delish. We took our close neighbours - they complained as we passed the closeby burger place 10 mins from us, and we went about 45 mins thereafter collecting a speeding ticket along the way but they wholeheartedly agreed it was well worth it. ;D A glass or so at home and its still so early.

Maddy, which recipe is the honey soy chicken? Looks yum!

was yum :)
I used this marinade. http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/24518/soy+honey+and+ginger+roast+chicken
But used chicken breasts instead. Best flavour is to marinate for a few hours, but I left it overnight.
I cooked them the usual way I cook breasts, which is:

heat oven to 190c.
heat 2 Tbsp. rice bran oil in a fry pan on medium-low heat, fry breasts 3 minutes per side.
transfer to an oven tray, and bake for 10-12 minutes (depending on how thick breasts are), once finished cooking, lightly cover with foil and rest for 3 minutes.

Well I am glad someone asked because I do not know. I bought the two meaty ribs in a cryo PAC from the wholesale butcher for $10.99 a kilo. It was difficult to see exactly what they were until I defrosted it and found these two pieces which I then sliced into ribs. I think it was from the lower ribs of the piggy sort do the other end of the loin. They were really good and virtually no fat. Bargain.

Or they could have been the upper ribs and back with the meaty bit being a back strap sans rib.

Post by: maddy on September 22, 2012, 12:25:48 pm: Oh thanks...like a party on a plate :)
....wasn't too happy though, as Hubby & son stuffed themselves on red rooster after the footy, so they weren't hungry >:( Didn't think to ring me either :-))

Rara, was loosely based on a taste recipe.

Oven at 200c
1 kg chicken mince
2 slices bread blitzed to crumbs
2 garlic cloves & handful flat leaf parsley, Drop on running blades at speed 7.
1 medium onion, quartered & chopped speed 5, 5 seconds
1/2 cup salsa
Around 60g taco seasoning
Mix altogether, scoop into heaped Tbsp. amounts (cookie scoop is wonderful for this), and with wet hands shape into balls, place on baking paper lined trays, and chill for 30-60 mins.
Bake for 20 mins.

I made this larger quantity because the boys always complain there's not enough meatballs....needn't have bothered tonight though :-X

Post by: JulieO on September 23, 2012, 09:01:19 am: Today I made a recipe from a pasta book that I’ve had for about 12 months. The recipe is called “Penne with herb & mushroom sauce”.

It was so tasty though I did use a lemon salt concoction that I’d made last week for another recipe instead of just adding lemon zest in this recipe. Both DH and I both said the lovely lemon flavour is what made it, so will def use it next time.

Post by: consumerate on September 23, 2012, 11:35:16 am: I made risotto in the *: for the first time. Was pleased. Adapted the standard mushroom risotto recipe from the edc as follows:
-halved everything
-home made chicken stock in place of vege stock concentrate
-brandy in place of wine
-added bacon at the beginning and fresh sweet corn at the end
-used leek in place of onion and garlic

Made enough for two people for dinner and probably lunch for me tomorrow.

Now I just need to scrub the bowl - will leave it soaking for a while. Anyone got any hot tips on how best to clean the bowl post risotto making?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on September 23, 2012, 11:40:43 am: You have done the right thing by soaking it immediately. How about then removing the soaking water, adding some hot water to cover the blades plus a few drops dishwashing liquid and give it a bit of a self clean on it's stand. If you had one of Helene's scrubbies (http://thermomix.superkitchenmachine.com/collections/all/products/super-scrubbies-bulk), that would clean it perfectly.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: consumerate on September 23, 2012, 11:53:56 am: Thanks judydawn. Have given it a whizz around and got most of the goo off. Will now soak overnight. I must acquire some of the Helene products. Will put in an order for the spatula/brush/scrubbie set this week :)

Bombay potatoes nice, next time I would add a bit more liquid so they had more sauce. There was plenty of sauce in the other curries to make up for it.

They're thicker, edges don't burn & fit the pizza maker perfectly. They hold lots of toppings and sauce with out the base going soggy.

Remember to heat up on no.1, then I usually cook with dial on no.2 - 2 1/2......you can cook on a higher setting, but I find you have more control on the browning then, and just give it longer if need be.
Teninas sundried tomato pesto is gorgeous as a base mixed with sour cream :-*

last night was Greek meatball salad

Tonight I'll be having a pub meal with friends, before we head off to the ghost tour in Pt. Cook :)

Post by: Halex on September 28, 2012, 12:49:19 am: Great looking meal Maddy, just for a change, lol. You just turn out gourmet every day :)
Enjoy your ghosts.

Yvette, which pizza machine did you buy & are you using Maddys bases?

DH is getting much better, was laid up all day, he bbq wagyu steak, cooked pink not burnt ;D potatoes after a few tips, asparagus & salad. It was so good that he did dinner, even a few months ago. i would have had to do it. So he is really tring which is great.

Tonight burgers from the freezer.

H :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Yvette on September 28, 2012, 01:34:59 am: Hally I bought the black The Pizza Maker and DH is buying Maddys's bases today they are available in Woolworths he looked them up.

THANKS MADDY for your advice :) :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Yvette on September 28, 2012, 01:55:09 am: MADDY just a quick question or anyone else that knows about the pizza maker:

I will make DS a bacon, ham and cheese pizza, if I wanted to put mince (little balls say the size of 5cent or smaller) would I have to cook the mince first or would it cook in the 5 minutes the pizza takes?

Thanks
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: maddy on September 28, 2012, 02:16:42 am: I think I would cook them first Yvette.
Perhaps give it a test run first on grease proof paper, and see how long it actually takes to cook, before using on pizza.
if it takes too long, you risk burning/over cooking everything else.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Yvette on September 28, 2012, 02:19:25 am: Thanks Maddy thought I would have to cook them first, for next time I will make up some balls and put them on top :) :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on September 28, 2012, 03:25:33 am: I woud cook them first too.

Yvette, enjoy your new toy.

Pizza monday here, as my back is not the best & just resting up, looked for the pizza dough in Coles, didnt have it. Saw 1 nice looking base $4!!!! Thought i can make the dough & dh can roll. $4 fr one base, it did look nice but $4!!!

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Post by: judydawn on September 29, 2012, 01:52:20 am: Yes she was girls, it was the first thing she showed me when we walked into the kitchen. She had raspberries macerating to put on top and when I asked her if she knew what macerating meant she replied ' soaking up the sugar' so she is learning lots of different things. Her Dad was very surprised when he heard her answer - poor Dad knows nothing about cooking except BBQ'ing and doing eggs & bacon.

Post by: tarasis on September 29, 2012, 09:57:19 pm: We have guests ATM, so lunch was the Mauricettes rolls from here, and this Cream of Chicken Soup (http://www.thermomixcanada.ca/soupes/chicken-cream-soup.html) recipe from the Canadian Thermomix site. Both worked together really well though next time I'd add more chicken to the soup,

For tea it was the Thin And Crispy pizza base from here, along with a Pizza sauce from here. We do the pizza and sauce nearly once a week we love it so much. Tonight I added chicken as a topping that was cooked/fried in some of the tikka paste (no additional oil) and it was lovely and an interesting contrast to the tomato sauce.

I love my thermie

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on September 30, 2012, 05:16:34 am: It will be fine GHM - I would think the only difference is that you would peel a continental cucumber but not a Lebanese one.

Post by: Mama Fergie on September 30, 2012, 05:47:19 am: I made tzatziki during the week and used continental cucumber. I think it has more water content but tastes very similar to Lebanese cucumber. Nobody complained about mine GHM :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on September 30, 2012, 01:07:52 pm: JD, i really surprised myself. I used my mandolin to cut them, so they were all the same thickness. I do them in my fry pan as I am scared ofmy deep fat fryer.

I heated the oil threw the whole batch in, double layered, kept turning them, after 5 mins took them all out, laid them on kitchen paper, heated the oil, cooked 1 batch for about 4 mins, removed, drained them of oil etc, did the next batch & perfect.

Fair enough (I wouldn't touch salad with a barge pole :-)) ). In the end I had the chicken&rice burrito as the missus had the sandwich and she tends to prefer we don't eat the same thing in restaurants which drives me potty :)

Mine was yummy, slightly spicy and very filling.

Post by: JulieO on October 01, 2012, 08:47:22 am: Had the veg terrine which I think would be great on a hot day. It didn't look as good as the original, just need to take a bit more care when assembling, but we enjoyed it.

Am wondering what it would be like gently warmed in the oven, sliced and used as a side with a meal? May try that as there's enough left.

The recipe is from here, you can see it being made as well as the printed recipe. The woman uses a TM to make the rocket pesto. :)

Steak (which turned out well considering this is only the 3rd time I've cooked steak) and I wanted to cook something from Nigellissima and found a really nice savoy cabbage recipe with potatoes, fennel seeds and mild blue cheese. It was really yum.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on October 01, 2012, 02:15:06 pm: Thanks Judy. Yes, eaten cold and on a hot day it would be refreshing and tasty, but instead of having more of the same tomorrow, I like the idea of trying it warm or at least with the chill taken out of it. As it's got caramelised onions in it too, I'm thinking a small amount of it in the chevapchichi rolls we are having tomorrow might be the go. They are developing flavours in the fridge ready to cook tomorrow. :D

Only just ordered my pizza maker on the weekend, so I won't be making pizza until it arrives.

Possibly, my fall back, Rainbow's Easy Pasta Carbonara. I'll add some broccoli and peas to make me feel better. ;D

first 3 were chili, 2 middle ones beef, and skinny 3 were apple & sage...all really nice.
I had left over mini burgers, so also had them with Helga's soy linseed thin bread, and topped with chookies beetroot dip.

Tonight, I did the right thing and looked in the fridge to see what I had. Some leftover taco mince fit the bill for a Mexican Layered Bake.
I pretty much made it up and it was superb!! Will post recipe soon. Taco mince was made in TM, and taco seasoning too.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cecilia on October 02, 2012, 02:21:04 pm: Well done, MJ.

We had a guest from NZ tonight, who it turns out is on quite a specific diet, so I tried to cater for her needs at the same time as providing easy food that everyone would eat. Ended up doing Cyndi's GF bread (popular), Spicy Tomato and Bean Soup, Impossible Quiche, Steamed Salmon with Yghurt and Tahini Sauce, and Fried Rice (all from Devil cookbook), Potatoes, Pumpkin, Luigi's 40 Second biscuits and Bimby's Choc Cake with Cream Cheese Icing and Emerald Sue's beautiful sugar flowers to decorate (also went down well). To top off a very forumy meal, we had Crio Bru!!

So thanks to all the people who influenced those choices. :) (You know who you are.)

Post by: JulieO on October 03, 2012, 09:21:59 am: Thanks Amy and Judy. It was exactly what I felt like too judy. ;D

I tried the method of cooking the corn in the microwave, (cobs rinsed leaving the water on it, then lightly wrapped in kichen paper, then cooked for 1 min on High, turn it over and cook another 1 min). Only did 1 cob at a time but next time will try putting the 2 in for 2 mins each side and see how it goes. Was lovely and tender, couldn't believe how quick it was. Sure beats steaming them or even pressure cooking them when only wanting to cook 1 or 2. :D

Today I made satay sauce (Theo & Co book) to make chicken satay pizzas tonight. My DH thought it all smelled really good so asked if he could have one for lunch as well. I couldn't get any of the bases that Maddy uses but have used the Bazaar Greek wraps previously so used these.

To be honest I didn't think it was going to be all that thrilling, but DH really liked his, so I made one for myself and I was pleasantly surprised, I really enjoyed it. Certainly not a big flavoured pizza but all the elements went together really well, there's wasn't anything in it that took over and the best thing is we didn't feel weighed down after it.

The sauce makes more than is needed so will freeze the rest for another time. Very simple ingredients, besides the satay sauce there's sliced mushrooms, grated mozzarella, green capsicum, flaked roast chicken and sliced onion. Before putting into the pizza maker I sprayed the top very lightly with oil, mainly for the sake of the onions so they wouldn't dry out.

Will definitely make again. :D

No not hot at all because I couldn't get a red chilli yesterday and couldn't be bothered going to another supermarket so I used a heaped tsp of sambal oelek in place of. Worked really well, gave a hit; a bit like pepper but without any heat. Even if the sauce tastes a bit hotter when first made, once it's on the base it seems to lose that. Maybe just add 1/2 tsp of sambal or less than stated of fresh red chilli and see what you think, or even leave it out completely the first time you make it. You can always add more next time if you like it. We don't like things too hot either. ;D

Mind you, my oven is cranking up the heat something fierce at the moment so pizzas would probably cook really well in the oven.
I've got a chicken roasting at the moment and the dial on my oven is set at about 75C, but the thermometer inside is showing 200C. I have to keep turning the temp down.
I got 2 free range chickens for $10 today, thanks to my neighbour who rang me from the chicken shop and asked me if I wanted some. Lucky me :)
Last night I cooked the rest of the family chicken snags with mash and vegies, whilst I had a treat. When we were at Cowel on Monday DH bought me a dozen oysters for $8. Problem was, they were not shucked and I don't have an oyster knife. I really had to work hard for my dinner. I put them in the microwave on defrost for a minute one or two at a time. I then levered them with the screwdriver. It was slow going, and I didn't get to eat until 8.30, but it was well worth it. They were really juicy, and I ate them with a squeeze of lemon and a slice of bread and butter. Yum

Halex, it isn't in the App Store. You either need to go to Amazon and buy it from the Kindle bookstore.

To buy from Apple: if you don't already have it install Apple's iBooks app from the App Store, run iBooks, tap Store from top left of screen, search for book name and then basically buy it like an App. (Tap price, then press the green button that appears should say Buy Book in whatever language you use)

Hmm, I hope that's clear.

Will look.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on October 05, 2012, 06:55:40 am: Rob it's $19.99 from iBooks store and only $9.99 from amazon ???
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: tarasis on October 05, 2012, 06:58:19 am: Interesting. For me it is €11.07 for Kindle and €9,99 from the iBookstore

Physically book is €39,99 from Amazon DE, and the second volume apparently just out here is €28,99. Def ebooks for me.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on October 05, 2012, 07:00:15 am: That's strange wonder who does the pricings :D

Did you buy it Rob? I am happy with it for the money I spent :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on October 05, 2012, 07:03:04 am: Same here ebooks for me too.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: tarasis on October 05, 2012, 07:06:35 am: The pricing is done by the publisher / local licensee and is crazy. They price against what they think the market will bear and as Germans likely haven't heard of him / the book the e book is cheaper. That said in general Germans pay more for their books and rarely get the deep discounts you can find on Amazom UK or US (even allowing for exchange rate). Drives me batty!

Not bought it yet, got the sample chapter and quite liked it but as it lacked a decent table of contents / index I was a little hesitant :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on October 05, 2012, 07:10:55 am: I would send you the contents pages but don't know how to it from my iPad ???
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: tarasis on October 05, 2012, 07:13:38 am: Thanks, if you can that's cool but don't worry.

If you ever need too, you can take a screenshot by pressing the Home Button and the top Lock button at the same time, which is store in your photo/camera roll.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on October 05, 2012, 07:29:33 am: Just followed your instructions Rob and taken 7 shots as 7 pages of contents so how do I send them?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: tarasis on October 05, 2012, 07:40:16 am: Thanks, if you are on iOS 6 you could share them (in photo app , tap edit in top left, select photo stream, choose a new photo stream, set to to tarasis@me.com) or email them but you will need to do them in two batches (5 is the max you can add to one email (same thing, in photo app, tap edit, select up to 5 photos, tape share, choose email, use rob@tarasis.net)

I got the menu up for eagle boys, a deal for $19.95, 2 pizzas, garlic bread & drink. I could add or delete toppings. Pay for it & it sent an email to dh to pick up on his way home!!!!!

I am impressed, ds will be happy. DH & i wont like them but I dont have to do anything.

Maddy looks amazing, is the pull apart recipe on the forum, I would love to try it?

Just used Chookies no fuss dough, after first rise rolled into 24 balls and dipped dough balls into:
100g melted butter
3 small crushed garlic cloves
1 lightly beaten egg
25g grated Parmesan
2 tsp. pizza topper herbs
1/2 tsp. salt.

Place around in a ring tin

(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/51cf61a60b2f08fa2ede6018af8d647c.jpg)

baked 20 mins at 200c. then placed foil over top and cooked another 10 minutes.
Turned out upside down onto a tray, and baked the bottom for a further 10 minutes at 180c to crisp up.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on October 08, 2012, 01:13:25 pm: Nazar, the small glass container comes in a pack of 3 different sizes. Made by Bodem and yes they are for the oven and come with cork coasters to sit on when hot. They are really nice and I would love more of the small ones but haven't found them sold on their own.

(http://www.hospitalitywholesale.com.au/products/bodum-hot-pot-set-of-3-with-cork-coaster1.jpg)

Tarasis, here is a link to the recipe. I reduced the caster sugar to 50g and brown sugar to 80g and it was perfect for us. I found that the extra chocolate/hazelnut sauce was really uneeded as there was a lot of sauce in each little pudding. I only drizzled a little bit over the icecream just for the photo. Saying that though, it tastes wonderful and could be used for other things.

I used the hazelnut spread that I made last week in this too. Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. :D

Post by: Amy :-) on October 09, 2012, 11:22:37 am: I didn't find any meat in the freezer, but I did happen upon a box of crumbed fish fillets that mum has been passing up every time I offered to cook them. So I decided that tonight I would hide them in something just so I could use them and get them out of the freezer! ;D
So earlier today I baked the fish in the oven with the fan turned off so that they wouldn't crisp too much. As soon as they were done, I covered them so they wouldn't dry out. Then I put them in the fridge.
This afternoon I took them out and peeled the crumb off them. I broke it up and put it on a lined baking tray in the oven to go crispy. In the meantime, I boiled up some pasta on the stove and cooked a sauce in TM using tinned tomatoes, stock, herbs, onion, garlic, pepper and paprika. I chopped up the de-crumbed fish fillets, mixed them with the cooked pasta and a tin of corn kernels, and then mixed the sauce through it all. I poured it into a dish, sprinkled the crispy crumbs over the top, and then put it back into the oven to keep crisping until DM and SD were ready for dinner ;D

Mum said it was very tasty :D

And I finally got that box of fish out of the freezer! ;D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on October 09, 2012, 12:15:47 pm: We had Chookie's Chow Mein tonight. With the cabbage I had left I've made some coleslaw for the next couple of days. We'll be bush camping for a couple of nights so no power. We have the generator but it's not worth running it just for the tmx. The hot water system and fridge will run on gas and the Engel fridge in the car runs on the second car battery.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on October 10, 2012, 06:26:21 am: For the first time I made 'roast' beef in my pc. I used a piece of peppered beef roast (just under 900g).

I firstly heated just a little of oil in my pc, then sauteed a chopped onion, adding a chopped stick of celery and a chopped carrot and cooked until starting to soften.
Added a good pinch of dried thyme, gave it a good stir, then added 1 1/2 cups of home made beef stock and the cut up stem from the broccoli that I was steaming. Another stir, then put the trivet in place and placed the beef on top. Locked lid and cooked 15 mins because it wasn't a big piece and I was worried it would be overdone.

I released pressure using nrm and took out the meat. Cut it in half and thought it a bit too pink for me, so put it back in and brought back up to pressure and cooked for another 5 mins. Released using qrm. Removed meat and covered with alfoil.

I then poured out the stock and veg through a sieve into a saucepan pressing out as much of the liquid as I could from the veg. Put over high heat, added a good spoonful of plain flour and whisked in, brought to the boil and simmered for a min or so while I was getting everything else ready.

The meat was so nice, with just a hint of pink in the centre and very tender and the gravy had so much flavour.

Am so, so happy with how this turned out and know now to cook for about 20 mins for this sized roast. Will try lamb next time. Cooked roast potatoes and pumpkin, yorkshire puds, steamed carrots, broccoli and green beans to go with. ;D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on October 10, 2012, 06:40:04 am: That looks amazing Julie. Was the meat an already marinated one from the supermarket? If so what cut of beef would it have been. I tend to use topside when I do roast beef because that's what Mum always made. We love our PC so would love to try a roast beef.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on October 10, 2012, 06:44:54 am: Yes the meat was from Woolies. The pack says "Australian Peppered Beef Roast". I didn't add any more pepper or salt to anything and it wasn't overly peppery, just a nice bite. Really good. :D

Post by: judydawn on October 12, 2012, 12:09:41 am: Bet that tasted great Amy. Never had swordfish myself Gretchen, is it a bit like a tuna steak.

I have a chicken to do something today, thawed out a 2 pack yesterday which reminded me to not be so lazy and to separate them next time :-)) I have chicken broth from the 'healthy' chicken roast I did yesterday so I might joint this one & use the bits and pieces in the soup, crumb the breasts and make a small casserole with the maryland joint. Tomorrow I will use both carcasses and skin for another batch of Tenina's chicken stock powder.

Recipe here. http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/17296/caramelised+spiced+carrots
Always looking for different ways with carrots, well, because they're boring :P
processor blitzed in no time, and didn't use the chilli powder or nutmeg but instead used Moroccan seasoning to taste. cumin would be good also.

Hi Rob, was it the EDC butter chicken or another? looks yum.

No it was from the Indian cookbook (also on here as Butter Chicken & Tikka Paste (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5295.0)). We left out the green chillies. We have made it a few times before (the first time being disastrous due to using birds eye chillies in the Tikka paste and not knowing they were extra hot), but last nights was just food orgasmically good.

Judy, the rice is Basmati which is a long grain rice and tends to be pretty much what the Asian shops sell around here (though that lot was from the supermarket). I tend to use it for pretty much everything (including the Steamed Garlic Rice from here).

I'll post the pilau recipe shortly.

I did, 7 minutes on heat setting 2.
Added pecans at 5 min. mark, as the first one I made burnt them at the full 7 minutes of cooking.

Post by: Aussie Brenda on October 21, 2012, 08:06:03 am: I've just had some lemon chicken and rice out of the freezer, wasn't very nice. I have a Lemon Impossible pie in the varoma, I 'm going to see how it goes steamed. Still 7mins to go.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: astarra on October 21, 2012, 09:03:37 am: Fresh buns and Bolagnaise sauce (from EDC) and salad.

Kimmy, if your cheese sauce is too runny, just cook it for an extra 30-60sec. :)

Post by: Bonsai on October 21, 2012, 12:13:47 pm: Beef cheek rendang. DH made the sauce in TMX then slow cooked in casserole on stove. Weepingly spicy 😰 even for spice loving people. DH didn't think to check the amount of chiles the recipe said to put in. Yogurt to the rescue and lots of sauce left over which can be diluted at least 50%. Tongue still burning......

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on October 22, 2012, 11:30:10 am: Tonight we had satay chicken. The satay sauce is from here http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=355.0 (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=355.0) it is by far and away the nicest satay sauce I've made. I make it first, remove it to a jug, and then without cleaning out the bowl, I pop the rice into the basket. The rice takes on some of the flavor of the sauce. I then placed sliced carrots, celery, mushrooms and broccoli into the bottom steamer tray, and chicken thighs and bok choi into the top tray and cooked it all together
I also made the quick raspberry Icecream http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2697.msg29616#msg29616 (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2697.msg29616#msg29616) with blackberries. It was nice, but a little too seedy.

The steel ones I have been looking at, I think can rust if not cared for.....I think I'll just use my flat chasseur pan, as I really cannot fit in another pan....that is unless I toss something out first :o

The base was lovely, except I think I need to buy a pizza stone so I can cook it properly. That or a pizza machine :-))

But the pizza I dished up disappeared pretty quick, so even though the base was still a bit soft in the middle of the pizza, it was certainly still edible ;D

Trace Trace can you post the Malaysian Chicken Curry PLEASE

INGREDIENTS:
Oil for frying (just enough to fry your onion/garlic, etc. - I don't use a lot here as the curry paste below is quite oily in itself)
1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes, or more to taste
1 cinnamon quill (if you don't have a cinnamon quill I just add a dash of powdered cinnamon)
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
185g Malaysian curry paste (I use Ayam brand "Nonya Malaysian Curry Paste" if I haven't had time to make my own)
800g skinless chicken thigh fillets, cut in half (or smaller if you prefer)
2 tbsp coconut milk (add more if you prefer it less spicy - I usually use a whole little little tin just so none is wasted - I think it's about 170g?)
2 potatoes, diced
1 tsp sugar

TO SERVE: Steamed rice, naan/roti, boiled eggs (optional)

1. Heat oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add cinnamon, onion, garlic and chilli flakes to pan and cook, stirring frequently until onion is soft (approx 3-5 minutes).
2. Add curry paste and stir until fragrant (approx 2 minutes).
3. Add chicken and stir until well coated (approx 3 minutes).
4. Add 125ml (1/2 cup) water, coconut milk, potatoes and sugar. Season with salt and stir to combine. Bring to the boil and then simmer uncovered for 30 minutes or until potatoes and chicken are cooked.
4. Serve and enjoy!

As I was cooking this last night I thought that it'd be pretty easy to convert into a TMX recipe but as I am very new to this I might need some help! Can anyone please help?

Post by: mcmich on October 30, 2012, 08:12:08 am: Gorgeous Maddy.

I made my friends ragu alla bolognese with homemade fettuccine. The sauce was ok, next time I would add garlic and a bayleaf and celery, which I was instructed not to do as it's not authentically Italian. Will be interested to see what DH thinks of it.
What I did take away from the recipe - dicing the onion and carrot to mince size, certainly put my knife skills to the test and adding the half cup of red wine and reducing down gives a lovely rich flavour.

What I was really pleased with was the pasta. Uni gave me some tips last time I saw her and I floured everything really well.

I made the sauce in the thermie, and steamed the burgul over the sauce. I cooked the sauce for 15 min and cooked the meatballs in a frypan. DD didn't really like the burgul, but ate it, but DS wouldn't eat it at all. The meatballs were a little dry as the beef was really lean. The sauce was really nice. It only took 15 min to cook, but about 10 min to get all the ingredients out. All in all, about 30 minutes from go to whoa. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/30/ma8aheme.jpg)

That's a bummer Robyn. We are spoilt for choice here, and we haven't even ventured to Melbourne yet.

DD has been asking for tandoori chicken salad, every night since I made it last....so we had that

(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/05f1b9ced12612361f65373d74c53fca.jpg)

And made the boys 70's ham steaks with salad and wedges...because they don't like tandoori :-))

Nicks Swiss/ Italian
Veinna inn
Flynns which is French (opens for 6 months a year)
and

the pub ( only 1 pub )

Now you know why I cook at home every night, and go out for dinner maybe 5 or 6 times a year....

I need to go out to eat at least once a week even although I love cooking ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: obbie on November 01, 2012, 12:09:41 am: No such luck here, unless its a birthday, or a rep takes us out, I cook every nite.
We have 1 week at palm cove a year, (holidays), and we go out every nite.. :) :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

But what sort of meat is a pot roast MF? :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on November 01, 2012, 01:30:59 am: You can pot roast any kind of meat Amy.
Instead of roasting on a tray in oven it is done in a pan with a lid and can be doneon the stove top or in a slow cooker as I am doing now.
I am using beef tonight a topside roast but can use lamb, pork chicken etc
Try it Amy it's melt in the mouth tender :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on November 01, 2012, 01:34:20 am: It sounds yummy!!! ;D Can we do a pork one when I come up? We could make apple sauce in the thermie to go with it :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Jadei and I both love pork ;)

Pork is my favourite meat but mum and SD prefer chicken or lamb so I don't cook it often :-)) ;D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: KarenH on November 02, 2012, 12:20:02 am: Last night our 5 year old cooked his first meal for us all (with only a little help from DH with the boiling water). He even "made up" the recipe: spaghetti with tuna, ricotta, frozen peas and lemon rind (I was impressed that he thought to put in the lemon rind), topped with grated cheese and baked in the oven. The baking dried out the spaghetti a bit and made it crunchy, but he was just so proud of himself that he ate 4 big serves :o
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on November 02, 2012, 12:22:36 am: That's wonderful Karen :D

The little ones are always so proud when they cook something.

You must be very proud of him too :D especially as it was edible ;)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on November 02, 2012, 12:35:11 am: What a clever little chappie Karen - look out, he might want to take over the kitchen now. Still, I think it's big enough for the 2 of you but you might need a second Thermomix.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: KarenH on November 02, 2012, 12:46:10 am: Yes MF - very proud of him. I am determined that once they are ready to leave home, they will have the skills needed to run their own home. I could not have planned and cooked a meal when I was 5

Judy, he already fights me for the TMX :D I read out the recipe to him, and he knows how to press all the buttons to programme it. Not surprising, desserts and cakes are his favourite ......

Now all I have to teach him is that cleaning up is part of cooking :-))
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on November 02, 2012, 12:47:47 am: Yes they seem to forget that part of it but it is part and parcel of cooking. Love to the 2 boys :-*
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on November 02, 2012, 01:01:06 am: I have to say Karen that all my kids left home with good cooking skills but sadly my boys never learned how to clean up the kitchen. :-))

Funny how how the girls learned both ;)

Maybe it's because my DH is exactly the same but without the cooking skills LOL

He manages to leave the kitchen like a bomb site after making toast. Nothing gets put away.

Maybe your little one will be different when he grows up :D But at least he will be able to cook
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on November 02, 2012, 02:24:06 am: That's great Karen. neither of my kids really have any interest in cooking and it's a real chore to get them to do anything, it's such a shame when I love it so much.

Post by: Amy :-) on November 02, 2012, 03:03:24 am: Karen, how lovely that DS is interested in cooking! He must take after his mum ;) Good luck teaching him how to clean up though. The most sophisticated meal my brother could manage at 18 was a peanut butter sandwich and he couldn't even wipe the crumbs off the bench after making that :-))

I can't decide what to put on the pizzas tonight ???
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: KarenH on November 02, 2012, 03:04:08 am: There is plenty of time Wonder - when I left home I couldnt cook a proper meal at all, although I could bake a cake or biscuits. I had to "learn on the job". Necessity is the mother of invention, isnt that the saying?? Those AWW cookbooks were a god-send! I am sure they will develop an interest in cooking sooner or later, with you as a role model, how could they not ..... but until then, at least you are still in control of your own kitchen ;D ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

They can't bake at all..
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: KarenH on November 02, 2012, 03:11:57 am: Amy, it started when our next-door-neighbour (who volunters in an op shop) brought home a book she found called "Cooking with Kids" put out by the SA government back in the early 1980's, with a whole heap of simple, healthy recipes for kids, laid out in a kid-friendly format, step by step with pictures, so that they can follow them even if they cant read. He sits and pores over the book, planning his next creation.

We also play "hunting" games at the supermarket or F&V shop, where I tell him an ingredient and he has to hunt it down for me. He's got really good at recognising his vegetables from that game.

Better watch out - I may soon have competition for space on the recipe book shelf ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Katiej on November 02, 2012, 03:35:09 am: Wow Karen that's amazing for a 5 year old. How wonderful that he has an interest in food and cooking.
You and your DH are certainly raising two great boys there :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on November 02, 2012, 04:29:35 am: I agree with Katie, that is amazing for his age Karen! :o I love the sound of that game, he must know a lot of foods that most other kids his age don't! ;)

Tomato sauce, bacon and mozzarella, baked for 10 mins, added diced fresh tomato and avocado, sprinkled with a little more mozzarella and put back in the oven to melt cheese. Mum loved this one ;D
Other pizza is just tuna, fresh corn, tomato and mozzarella :)

DH had lamb shanks for lunch so all he wanted was a glass of Sustagen.

Note to self, when freezing things write where the recipe came from on the packet.

Post by: Greyhoundmum on November 03, 2012, 11:08:32 am: Teninas beef curry and rice, lovely one of y favorites. I had a bit too much gravy beef so once the paste was made I transferred it to the crock pot and cooked it on induction 2 for several hours, beef was soooo tender. I also added some figs at the end as I had them handy.

Note to self, when freezing things write where the recipe came from on the packet.

I need to write that same note to myself Judy ;D

Here is the lamb shank casserole I made mum and SD :)

I had a cup of tea for dinner. Had a very big lunch with family so really didn't need or want anything else.

Amy those shanks look magnificent! My DS(18 on Wed) couldn't cook a meal if his life depended on it. My fault I know, I should start teaching him. No reason he can't cook one meal a week. Besides I really don't want to hand him over to his future wife being totally useless! Lol

Post by: CreamPuff63 on November 03, 2012, 01:48:39 pm: Pizza from leftover crio beef chilli that we had earlier in the week. Sauce was chopped fresh tomatoes, followed by beef, then grated mozzarella and then Parmesan shavings. Lip schmacking good and quick ❤
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on November 03, 2012, 01:50:02 pm: I agree Moptop as my DH didn't even know how to make toast when we married. :o
All my kids knew how to cook well before leaving the nest although the 2 boys had no concept of cleaning up as you go along.
One of my sons still cooks most of the meals for his wife but I pity her as the kitchen looks like a bomb site when he has finished.
I guess we can't have everything.
Amy's mum is a lucky lady :D

Post by: Wonder on November 04, 2012, 12:18:23 am: All the food looks great. We had a beautiful dinner last night, I'did ale a photo for once but it's on DH's phone! It's was the Greek lamb ribs from the masterchef website, with lemon potatoes and a salas of pumpkin, green beans, spinach, almonds and Persian feta. Ive never cooked lamb ribs before and while like all ribs they were a bit fatty but I saw cooked them for close to two hours before crisping up and they were great.

The party went pretty well, it was more of a gathering so we knew 80% of the kids really well, and they were pretty well beaved over all. We decided to go down the path of allowing alcohol with a signed parental consent form which takes the responsibility off us if something goes wrong but we were monitoring things very closely because there were kids swimming and in the spa. We loved getting to know the kids and them enjoying being here and that DD is comfortable having them over. Sorry totally off topic.

Don't think I'll cook anything today.

I cooked some pork steaks tonight, and the pork was truely awful. Both kids refused to eat it. I used to be able to get beautiful pork, but the farmer no longer sells pork and I made the mistake of buying some from the stupidmarket. I hate spending good money on bad food. >:(

Trace Trace can you post the Malaysian Chicken Curry PLEASE

INGREDIENTS:
Oil for frying (just enough to fry your onion/garlic, etc. - I don't use a lot here as the curry paste below is quite oily in itself)
1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes, or more to taste
1 cinnamon quill (if you don't have a cinnamon quill I just add a dash of powdered cinnamon)
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
185g Malaysian curry paste (I use Ayam brand "Nonya Malaysian Curry Paste" if I haven't had time to make my own)
800g skinless chicken thigh fillets, cut in half (or smaller if you prefer)
2 tbsp coconut milk (add more if you prefer it less spicy - I usually use a whole little little tin just so none is wasted - I think it's about 170g?)
2 potatoes, diced
1 tsp sugar

TO SERVE: Steamed rice, naan/roti, boiled eggs (optional)

1. Heat oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add cinnamon, onion, garlic and chilli flakes to pan and cook, stirring frequently until onion is soft (approx 3-5 minutes).
2. Add curry paste and stir until fragrant (approx 2 minutes).
3. Add chicken and stir until well coated (approx 3 minutes).
4. Add 125ml (1/2 cup) water, coconut milk, potatoes and sugar. Season with salt and stir to combine. Bring to the boil and then simmer uncovered for 30 minutes or until potatoes and chicken are cooked.
4. Serve and enjoy!

As I was cooking this last night I thought that it'd be pretty easy to convert into a TMX recipe but as I am very new to this I might need some help! Can anyone please help?

Last night we went into one of the eateries on North Tce for dinner. Both being hungry we decided on a Stonegrilled surf & turf as it sounded good. Imagine my surprise when a tray arrived in front of each of us with a piece of steak sizzling on a hot stone. There were prawns and scallops ready to cook sitting along side. First time we've paid $60 to cook our own meal 😜😀

He's great at following recipes but can't just make something up, so as long as we've thought about what we are going to eat or all the ingredients for a meal he's made a 100 times before easily on display on the fridge we are good. If not it can fall apart a bit.

Post by: obbie on November 07, 2012, 02:03:04 am: Wonder my DH is a fantastic cook, but uses lots of saucepans, frying pans.
I should teach him how to use my thermothingys x 2.

Post by: judydawn on November 07, 2012, 02:08:44 am: I'm with you Katie on the stonegrill idea. Nice to try it once but we don't go out to cook our own meals. I didn't find it a very relaxing way to eat a meal at all.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on November 07, 2012, 02:39:41 am: I totally agree about the stone grill.
We do enough cooking at home so when we go out its nice to have it brought to the table ready for us to eat and enjoy :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Post by: Halex on November 07, 2012, 04:45:03 am: Its a new recipe for me, I put the meat into my Le Creuset dish, sieved the veg & juice. Juice is cooling to take fat off, then will add together & heat up for dinner. Its meant to be tomorrows but not sure if anyone will be able to wait.

Post by: Mama Fergie on November 07, 2012, 05:06:32 am: Yum Hally. I always have it with polenta or mash but my DS prefers it with risotto Milanese. Either way will be delish. I just made a batch of your lamb and feta burgers. Fried off a little ball and it's yummy. Thanks for the recipe. DS comes for dinner on a Wednesday as he picks the baby uP from me after work. I know he will love the burgers :D

Post by: deedub on November 07, 2012, 06:31:48 am: Snapper fillets baked in the oven with veggies. Not really enough fish to go round (I'm on a budget lol) so I'll probably just get veg & kids will get the fish!

Mash is the winner :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: VieveMS on November 07, 2012, 09:19:53 am: I had a go at creating/converting my first TMX dinner tonight based on a recipe from the Purely Golden Door (http://www.goldendoor.com.au/shop/boutique/recipe-book) cookbook.

The original recipe was Poached Sea Bass with Coriander & Sesame Crumb and Mango Salsa which they recommend serving with sweet potato mash. I couldn't find any Sea Bass today so I used Atlantic Salmon instead. I also didn't have any sweet potato so served mine with green beans. Since I was using the Veroma (salmon & green beans were steamed), I also cooked some rice which I will use at another time.

I think I need to play around with the TMX timings a bit more before I post the recipe. The fish was pretty good but parts of the salsa were bordering on soup!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on November 07, 2012, 10:47:30 am: Hally, that looks yummy. Just like Mama Fergie, we had your lamb and feta burgers(again). My whole family loves these burgers. :)
The family has requested pasta for dinner tomorrow. Not sure what I'll do yet. ???
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on November 07, 2012, 10:59:20 am: Well done on your first conversion Vieve!! :D :D :D The first one is usually a bit dodgy, but you'll master it soon ;)

Yvette, thank you, yes yum. How long does a spray tan take?

Fridays is a late dinner, squad swimming, dh & ds not home until 7pm. Last week I cooked a full on meal, too late for us, so now fridays is always going to be freezer meals or left overs etc. Dont think we will do friday night squad again unless cp wants too, he says hes bored of doing lap after lap etc.

Post by: Yvette on November 08, 2012, 10:27:16 pm: Hally it takes me about 5 to 10 mins depending on how much tan you put one and then they dry, so somewhere between 20 to 30 mins

It was okay, but not thrilling. :-\

Post by: VieveMS on November 10, 2012, 07:00:40 am: I'm going to try Tenina's Crio Bru Chilli Beef from FFS without the Crio Bru or the chilli!

Unfortunately I don't have any chilli's left and I just couldn't be bothered going back to the shops. I've thrown in some chilli sauce so hopefully it won't be too lacking in flavour. Instead of the crio bru I made up a concoction of raw cocoa powder and espresso.

Julie, that curry looks devine.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on November 10, 2012, 07:07:31 am: I think that should work well for you VMS.
I just got the book and that's one of the recipes that I want to try. :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: VieveMS on November 10, 2012, 07:13:43 am: MF, I've had the book for a while now (longer than I've had my TMX) and this is the first recipe I've tried. For some reason I was more excited by the recipes in QFITT. If this one works well I might be inspired to try more of the other recipes.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on November 10, 2012, 07:22:59 am: I don't have QFITT as I am waiting on the ebook which should be coming out soon.
Both books look really good.
Let us know how your beef turns out.
It's good to try new dishes :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on November 10, 2012, 07:27:08 am: Funny how people are different. I've got both books and I've only tried one recipe out of QFITT, but quite a few out of FFS.
I've made the chilli beef before and it is really yummy.
I cricked my neck last night, and was lacking inspiration for dinner tonight as my neck/shoulders are sore.. DH said he fancied lasagne, and he also remembered that we have one in the freezer. Last time I made lasagne, I cooked an extra and popped it in the freezer. Got to love him sometimes ;D :D
It's in the oven now. Easy peasy.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on November 10, 2012, 07:40:21 am: I am looking fwd to trying a few recipes out of both books. Looking at the contents of both I think I will use Tenina's book more but who knows.
Love having pre cooked meals in the freezer ES especially on days when you don't feel like cooking.
Enjoy your lasagne it's a favourite in our house :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: obbie on November 10, 2012, 07:41:46 am: When I make lasagne, I do 2 or 3 at a time, to freeze..
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on November 10, 2012, 07:46:31 am: Same here Robyn. Its just as easy to do 2 or 3 and have standbys for days when too busy to cook or when you are unwell.
I often double or triple the quanties when cooking.
But a new freezer is now a must ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: obbie on November 10, 2012, 07:49:00 am: MF, i have 3 fridges upstairs, and 3 big chest freezers downstairs (full).

I cook for my Mum and Dad, about 4 to5 dinners a week too.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on November 10, 2012, 07:52:28 am: We only have a little freezer on the bottom of the fridge. I can't cook much in advance because I don't have enough room to store it :( But mum said she will buy a chest freezer when our kitchen renovations are done :D

I haven't made lasagne for over a year. I must cook it again soon :)

Post by: Mama Fergie on November 10, 2012, 09:02:51 am: I have 2 fridge freezers at the moment but I need another freezer so that I can cook and freeze because the other two are not enough.
I love to have food pre cooked as it is great when family come in unexpectedly as I can feed them all easily.
You sure are lucky having all that fridge freezer space Robyn.
I will hopefully get one ne t week if I have time but if not I will definately get one when I come back from NZ early December in time for pre Christmas cooking :)
Good that you are getting one after your renovations Amy ;D

You think Uni? Is that just because you don't have to bend down?

Post by: VieveMS on November 10, 2012, 10:13:57 am: So it sounds like the EDC meatloaf is definitely a winner. Kimmy, did it take a lot of time and effort to prepare. From memory it spans two pages of the EDC....

It was delicious, didnt have any olives or cherry tomatoes so left them out.
I made the pitta bread whereas he didn't. Took me 34 mins working quicky :) but was using left hand most of the time, but did have dh passing me stuff. I dont see how it coud be made in 15 mins. Dh & I loved it, ds wasnt that keen, thoght he would love the meat but said it was ok. In our view a very yummy healthy meal.

Yes I found it easy even though the recipe looks long winded. You basically mince your meat and mix up meatloaf then wrap in bacon. Then steam it whilst sauce cooks in varoma. I read the newspaper (which happens like never) while it cooked. :)

i quite often cut up the half legs of lamb you can buy when they are on special and use it for curry, I've never found a butcher that has diced lamb that i'm happy with, there is always too much fat.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on November 14, 2012, 01:49:32 am: Totally agree with you Wonder, it takes longer to go through all the cubed meat and trim than it would if I did the whole thing myself. I still get them to remove the bone, but will do the cubing myself now.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on November 14, 2012, 03:40:15 am: Wonder, didnt you know there is nothing normal about me ;D

No a lamb has 4 legs but you only get 2, the first time I aked the butcher where my other 2 legs were, he lauhged. I get the 2legs cut up into 3 pieces each, perfect for the 3 of us.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on November 14, 2012, 04:58:01 am: ;D
So what do they do with the other two? do we only get the back or front legs sold as legs of lamb?

JulieO, the half legs of lamb are the only meat I buy at the supermarket and I only buy the meaty end (bit without the shank) when they have them on sale, they just have one bone you need to cut around and there is virtually no fat on that end. When on saleonce I've removed the bone and cubed, I can normally get 900grs of very lean meat for around $10. Perfect for two curry meals for the 4 of us and much nicer than the cubed lamb I can buy at the butcher. This is also the only bone our dogs ever get so a bit of treat for them as well.

Dinner ??? Took a hayfever tabet, had a lie down, woke up uch later, still tired. So dinner is lamb massaman curry out of one of my tins in the pantry, cooked in the pc. Just added veg to cook for the last 5 mins, hope its ok.

I'm having a total lack of inspiration for dinner tonight. I openied the freezer and took out a packet of diced steak, but I hadn't labelled what kind of steak ??? I looked in the main meals thread and chose Chili Beef with creamy lemon feta. I made the feta first and put it in the fridge. I decided to cook the beef in the PC to be on the safe side, and cooked the rice in thermie. I've just tested the beef, but its not tender so I am cooking it a bit longer >:(. Dinner is very late tonight
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on November 14, 2012, 09:26:28 am: ES, yes 2 tins, 2 boxes & 1 jr this week :)

Actially the curry is really good, its an asian label, product of thailand.

C has od el passo @ /2 price tm, tempted to buy enchiladas as a quick tasty meal.

Hows the meat now ES?

Which feta recipe did you use? I didnt know we could make fetta, spent $9 last week on some.

:)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on November 14, 2012, 09:34:26 am: It,s still got one minute to go!
I didn't make the feta, I just mixed it with lemon and olive oil http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1474.0 (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1474.0)
I did get rid of a tin of tomatoes and kidney beans too!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on November 14, 2012, 09:59:38 am: ES, got excited thought you made the fetta :)

Hope dinner is good.

Love the pc, just shoved everythng i. For 20 mins & veg for last 5. Rice in TM, easy :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on November 14, 2012, 10:19:04 am: I'm glad I cooked the beef in the PC as it was a cheap cut of meat and it ended up being very tasty and tender. I added a couple of carrots and zucchini with the onions as I only had about 400g of beef, and a little more liquid. The feta was nice for a change, but DH Thought it was yoghurt.

Tuna is always handy to have around Amy. Smart move, sad about the chicken.

Hi GHM! I'm planning on making this tonight but in the ingredients list on Tenina's dinner spinner app it lists 3 red chillies where as in an email which I receive for Tenina's website it lists 3 large dried chillies soaked in boling water. I have fresh red chillies, do you remember what you used? Does it matter? I like a bit of heat but don't want to make it inedible either! Thanks in advance! ;D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Jamberie on November 19, 2012, 09:06:52 am: Wow Vieve, I'm not great at cooking the perfect steak, so I'm interested in your sous vide experience. Do you have the instructions to share? It looks fabulous!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Kimmyh on November 19, 2012, 09:15:34 am: Vieve your steak is mouthwatering.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: VieveMS on November 19, 2012, 09:29:39 am: Hi Jamberie, It was easy. i found some instructions on the blog Why Is There Air (http://www.whyisthereair.com/2012/03/11/know-your-thermomix-thermomix-as-a-water-bath/) and pretty much followed them with a couple of small tweaks.

First I put the steak in a zip lock bag and added some truffle infused olive oil, lemon thyme, chives, salt and pepper. You then need to expel as much air as you can from the zip lock bag. Whilst the steak is marinating you heat up 2 litres of water (with the internal steamer basket inserted) in the Thermomix for 10 minutes/60º C/Speed 2. Place the steak in the steamer basket and cook at 50º C/Speed 2. I cooked the steak for 30 minutes. Once done I cooked the steak on a hot BBQ to give it some colour and then rested it before serving. It really was delicious.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: VieveMS on November 19, 2012, 10:46:25 am: JD, it was just one piece of steak. From memory it was about 350 grams and maybe 3cm thick. Here is a photo of it in the zip lock bag prior to being cooked - hopefully it will give you a better feel for its size.

It really doesn't matter JD, just cook them first and away you go. DH loves them in his lunchboxes for work, so am making up a huge batch today, that is why we are having them for dinner tonight! And the fact we all like them, they can be prepared ahead and frozen, I know there will be no complaints from any of the madams.... ! ;D
Also a good way to use up all those leftover sausages from a BBQ. :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on November 20, 2012, 11:04:17 pm: astarra I'm confused :-\ first i thought you were taking the filling out of the sausages and stuffing the cases with a mix of potato, bacon etc. and now i'm thinking mayabe you split already cooked sausages and then layer them with the other ingredients and grill. Still can't figure it out though.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mcmich on November 20, 2012, 11:06:41 pm: I think that's what asstarra has done Wonder.

Post by: astarra on November 20, 2012, 11:09:28 pm: You are right on the second point Wonder - I'll post a photo later. Sorry for the confusion.
Cook sausages, split down the top (not too far or they open right up, tho they are nice too, using the sausages more like a pizza base.) then fill with mashed potato, bacon and tomato slices, then cheese and herbs sprinkled on top to grill!
Pork sausages are nice done with pineapple in the mix too. :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on November 20, 2012, 11:11:08 pm: The other week we had a few left over sausages, i chopped them up & put them on a pizza, cp thought they were fantastic pizzas, he loved the sausage on them.

Might make these with pink salmon instead of the white fish she recommends - I've never used one of her packets before so I might need to play around with the recipe a bit to get the right consistency.

I'm trying to use up all the things in my cupboards!

Post by: VieveMS on November 23, 2012, 04:38:00 am: Good to hear kt2. I've just opened the packet and it doesn't actually contain anything too complicated by the looks of it:
- red curry paste
- kaffir lime leaves
- fish sauce
- sweet chilli syrup

Not sure how well the salmon will go but I don't have any white fish and can't be bothered making a trip to the shops.

Post by: JulieO on November 23, 2012, 07:22:00 am: Was going to make a pasta bake that I was supposed to have made yesterday, but this morning after making biscuits, I roasted some halved roma toms, an onion cut into wedges, 4 garlic cloves (in their skin), about 6 sprigs of fresh thyme from my garden, drizzled with olive oil, lots of black pepper and a grind of sea salt.
Once roasted, I let cool for a few mins, then put it all through my food mill to get rid of the skins. The resulting sauce was so good that I decided to use it as a base in a pasta dish.

I sautéed a small chopped onion, then added 3 rashers of diced bacon, once they were nearly there, I then added sliced button mushrooms, a knob of butter, good lot of ground white pepper and a few sprigs of fresh thyme. Once turning golden, I added a bunch of asparagus that I’d cut into chunks and sautéed the lot for a couple of mins. I then added 1 clove of crushed garlic and cooked for about 30 secs until aromatic. Added the tomato sauce and stirred to heat through.

I cooked some penne which I served in bowls with the sauce spooned over the top. Topped with grated parmesan and a few baby basil leaves from the garden finished it off nicely. Oh boy was it good. Will def make more of the tomato sauce and bottle it for future use.

Sometimes Kimmy ;D Other times put tomato sauce on the chips, trim the egg white from around the whole egg yolk, and then eat the egg yolk in one go ;) It feels really funny bursting an egg yolk in you mouth!
In saying that, tonight I only had a couple of eggs and an apple after. Feeling a bit better but not enough to handle chips ;)

I did make the rest of them a pudding as well though. Will post pics soon :)

As well as Ottolenghi's Hot and Sour Chicken (which was OK but I probably overcooked it) I also make his Roasted Butternut Squash with Cardamon & Nigella Seeds for dinner. This dish was a big hit. Soooo much flavour.

I did all the pre-oven cooking in Thermie so if I can remember what I did I might post the recipe.

Here is it with photo
rocket with Caramelized pumpkin, pinenut, pear and goats cheese with raspberry vincotte. The one I had in restaurant did not have pear but I had a pear I needed to use up.

I served this with warm buttermilk bread from EDC drizzled with EVOO and topped with sundried tomato pesto.

Today's cooking so far, which I kind of failed again to photograph till after I'd eating, was Bretzels, laugenstangen (Bretzel rolls), laugenkastanien (bretzel bites) with cheese, poppy seeds and plain. No sesame as I forgot to buy some yesterday.

Post by: JulieO on November 26, 2012, 07:01:14 am: This isn't going to look very exciting but the flavour was wonderful.

A recipe from Nigelissima, simply called Pork chops with fennel seeds & allspice, though it also had celery salt and a pinch of ground cloves and pepper added to the flour for dredging. It was finished off for the last 5 mins of cooking with marsala added to the pan and then spooned over.

Will make this again with better chops because it tasted great.

I cooked the veg (except the corn) in the TM and Varoma; made for an easy meal. :D

Not when you have TM ;D So you make your own bread from scratch and then make the garlic butter to put on it? Do you make them in long sticks like the shop bought garlic bread? Sorry for the questions, but it made me think that I would like to make my own garlic bread too :)

I need to find something else for dinner.... thinking, thinking.... :-))

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: dede on November 27, 2012, 08:57:42 am: DS 15, he decided to become a Vegetarian a couple of months ago and has stuck to it. He has lost weight too.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: dede on November 27, 2012, 09:40:13 am: Yes Amy, he was getting a little on the podgy side lol.
Maybe I should do the same :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on November 27, 2012, 09:57:20 am: Thats alright then ;D If my brother went vegetarian and lost weight there would be nothing left of him :o
Don't do it if you enjoy meat Mandi. And you're already making a big change by giving up smoking, so it would probably be too much for your mind and body to cope with if you deprived yourself of meat as well :( Just my thoughts :)

No not in the slow cooker. Only in the oven
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on November 27, 2012, 10:08:10 am: In the slow cooker is so good. After 6-8 hours you can pull the leg bone straight out and the meat just falls apart ;D

No, not really Amy. I didn't have a proper lunch (smoothie) and I was starving after a bush walk so took the quick option of take away. I don't regret it though as it was pretty yummy. I had Butter Chicken from my local Indian take away. I am still searching for a TMX recipe that can match it.... I am sure it is out there, I just haven't found it yet.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on November 27, 2012, 10:36:30 am: Well at least it was good :)
And I think there is a really good butter chicken somewhere, maybe in the Indian book? I'm sure someone will point you in the right direction ;)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

DH is making the marinade while I'm supposed to be working and he is chopping everything by hand! He's happy to use the TMX but unless the instructions specifically tell him to do it that way he doesn't think of it. Oh well.

I'm making some of JulieO's cheesy garlic bread to go with the BBQ cutlets - not sure what else we'll have with them.

No Amy, it's perfectly safe bushwalking at night as long as you have the right equipment and are careful. I hike every Thursday night for 3 hours with a group. I think I probably prefer walking at night, particularly at this time of year, as it's cooler and very peaceful.

Post by: Moo2 on December 03, 2012, 06:54:25 am: It was going to be macaroni beef until I made the Tuscan Almond Pesto from Tenina's site. Wow! It was so nice I served it through spaghetti and the kids loved it. Dead easy and so very tasty. Warning though it's very garlicky so don't put all the cloves in if you don't like garlic.

Post by: goldfish on December 03, 2012, 07:13:36 am: Thanks for that Moo2 - love garlic - so will try this out a little later in the week . . . . :D

Post by: judydawn on December 03, 2012, 08:07:35 am: I went to the hospital canteen and bought some chips. For some reason DH had ordered an egg salad for his evening meal, something he would not do normally so the chips went down well. The shop bought coffee was even more appreciated!

Post by: gertbysea on December 03, 2012, 08:13:50 am: Egg salad might be a good thing. Hospital chips? What are they thinking?

We have a lot of lamb, maybe should look at making it into lasagna or shepherds pie.

Any other ideas?

Post by: astarra on December 10, 2012, 07:17:02 am: Yes I was immunised and my girls are immunised too, so I should not have got it...but I did. :(
MIL already had them as I was feeling so rotten (before diagnosis) and couldn't look after them properally. :(
I am very grateful to my in-laws. :) And I feel good as she told me a few months back her v-slicer was not as sharp as it was (after 30 years+ ) so I managed to get her a new one which we have given her as a thank you gift, she was so pleased! :D :D
Absolutely would not wish this illness on anyone... :P
I have to go back to doc for more tests, to see if I am getting over it proper then he will tell me when I can see my daughters again. :)

Made the fettuccine with evap milk and it curdled?? Other than that it was a nice dish just can't work out why it curdled.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on December 16, 2012, 08:57:28 am: Had decided to make risotto but will probably just have poached eggs or something instead. Nobody really bothered about dinner.

Post by: Mama Fergie on December 16, 2012, 09:17:31 am: Using my new PC for the first time so hopefully it will work out.
My own recipe thick lamb chops, the round ones, in an Italian style sauce with tomatoes, white wine, capsicum, onions , garlic, mushrooms and olives.
Either mash or gnocchi not sure yet.
It's making a lot of noise is that normal ?

Pies, pasties, sausage rolls, kabana, potato chips and milk - would you believe I didn't even notice the activity over there as we were out in the back room or back yard the whole time it was happening apparently. Not my favourite food but I sent the kids home with their Mum with snack packs in the back seat and DH and I had a few bits and pieces - after a long day, I was completely shot and it saved me having to do anything other than put the house back in order after this tornedo had passed through :-)) :-))

I left out the "add pasta" step, did everything else, tipped it into the Thermoserver, added the uncooked pasta and have now left it in the Thermoserver to cook the pasta. 30-40 min everyone should be home and pasta is on the way to looking perfect.

Post by: Mama Fergie on December 18, 2012, 01:27:37 pm: Sauvignon Blanc a dry white wine Amy this one from NZ Marlborough wine region.
My favourite white wine from the new world.
My true favourite is a Sancerre from The Loire valley in France. It is a Sauvignon Blanc but with a mellower flavour than the sharp crisp wine from NZ. A delight as is a Chablis premier Cruz. I love French wine.

Post by: judydawn on December 20, 2012, 10:32:58 am: Talking about tenderloins - I bought today but where are they? I also bought sausages from the specialty butcher, put them in my handbag and because we had visitors when I got back, promptly forgot them until I went to get my bag 7 hours later. Said sausages now in the bin but goodness knows where the tenderloins are - they are on my bill.

We had leftovers for tea.

Lucky you have a freezer with leftovers and you were still able to eat tea.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on December 20, 2012, 10:44:10 am: Yes Katie, looked in the car. Looked in the freezer too although I knew I only put the other 2 lots of meat in there. It's a mystery but it means I now have to go back and get some more tenderloins at least - I need them for the 24th.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Post by: EmeraldSue on December 20, 2012, 10:49:12 am: Oh Judy, I once left a packet of bacon in my market trolley for a whole week. Eek
At least you found the sausages before they got too smelly. Could you have left the chicken at the butchers? It"s worth asking before you buy some more.
I cooked sausages on the BBQ for the family, but I'm still full form lunch, so all I've had tonight is some nice cold NZ Savvy. I might have some of Brazen's spiced nuts though as I'm a little peckish now
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on December 20, 2012, 10:58:24 am: I bought the tenderloins at Foodland ES. I could go back with my docket and ask if I left them there although the girl packed my bag and I don't see what she could have done with them once she scanned the packet. Worth a try though - $9.78 worth and $8 for the sausages. Just throwing my money away today ;D

Post by: JulieO on December 21, 2012, 04:17:04 am: My dtr (and grandson) are coming for Christmas (her hubby is out at sea on the fishing boats) and I asked her if there's anything that she'd like me to make while she's here. Her answer was my hamburgers :o So today I made up a heap of patties (so easy to press and store in my Tupperware burger press) and have put them in the freezer for when needed.

So I cooked a couple for us, they were a mirror image of this one, served with a dollop of chilli jam on top. (photo from last time I made them). ;D

Ooh let us know which one you do, we love the book

Hally- Beef Kofta Curry with fluffy rice, beans and peas (p66) - I was looking for a recipe that I could use the TMX for :)
It came in just under 15 minutes...I did have all ingredients on the bench ready to go. Used my rice cooker to cook the basmati & started this earlier (recipe states to use 10minute rice, I refuse to buy a more expensive rice when I have regular basmati at home already). Instead of liquidiser I used TMX...It was a really delicioius curry but could benefit from reducing a little more, I think it is worth converting into a full TMX meal if/when I get the chance (Varoma could steam the koftas like with meatballs). For a full & well balanced meal on the table in 15 minutes, it's got to be 5/5! It wasn't til after we'd eaten I realised I'd forgotten the lentils! We didn't miss them!
Are there any others from this book you could recommend?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on December 28, 2012, 08:35:31 am: Jamberie, well done ;D

My dh loves the book as he is no cook, so it helps with pots & pans & having everything out etc.

I dont have the book with me, will be home in a week. Will let you know then.

We have done quite a few that you dish up on a wooden board & sometimes I might do parts of the dish. I love that part of this book too. We have done a lot with salads :)

Jealous!!

Last night, my sister and I didn't feel like much, so we had Bruschetta using a home made crusty loaf I'd made earlier in the day (just a Laucke Crusty White). Delicious!! Drizzled bread slices with OO, fried until lightly browned, brushed with crushed garlic and basil pesto (from a jar), and topped with finely diced red onion and chopped tomato. Added some fetta which was lovely too.

I bought 2 frozen turkey hindquarters for $3 each (!!!) and cooked them on my new WeberQ BBQ. I mixed some butter, garlic, parsley, thyme and orange rind together and stuffed it between the meat and the skin, and basted it it with orange juice with a little oil. There was so much meat that we only ate one and it was delicious :)

I put the pork into a hot oven (250ºC) for about 10-15min, then dropped the temperature to continue cooking for another 45-50 minutes. Finally I used the grill to crisp up the crackling. Really delicious and I didn't waste a drop of precious wine in the cooking ;D

Made the EDC broccoli salad tonight. It was surprisingly good. I used half mayo and half yoghurt. My 2 little broccoli haters gobbled it up with no worries ;D
Will give it a go. Broccoli salad sounds good too.

Post by: KathD11 on January 01, 2013, 12:30:05 pm: I have made both versions of stroganoff (EDC and Chelsea's) but prefer EDC can't put my finger on why but the kids gobble it up so I will keep on with that version - maybe our palette is not that sophisticated :)

Post by: CreamPuff63 on January 02, 2013, 05:39:40 am: For one reason or another I've been by myself all week and I am sick of having tomato soup, fruit salad, steamed eggs, and one bowl beef & rice casserole :) I'm just not getting to the bottom of the dish cos I'm taking smaller and smaller portion sizes :( I don't enjoy eating the same meal over and over, but there's at least another 2 days worth of meals left. DH is coming home tonight and he will readily eat a lot of it fortunately otherwise I would have to freeze it.

Post by: CreamPuff63 on January 02, 2013, 05:58:36 am: No, neighbors have gone away on holiday for a few more weeks yet and my girl friends are married which would mean having to have 1 or 2 couples over. I would feel like a third wheel. Usually there would be 1 or 2 of my kids around, but they are off on holidays. I have some small frozen meals tucked away in the fridge that I could've eaten, but I was planning on giving them to my DD2 to take back with her next week. Its nothing really, at least I'm eating...repetitively :D

I think I'll tweak it a bit for next time as it was a bit 'pasty' and I'd like the patties to be a bit chunkier. But I'll try it again, the flavours were nice and the incredients were all on hand :)

My Dad was a carpenter - made some gorgeous rocking horses from scratch - I will post a photo of the one he made for DS when he was 2yrs old.
Late DH was builder too. I appreciate those sort of things. Your DH is such a craftman too - that tear drop caravan is excellent. It's a dying art. My dad made everything - our beds, all our furniture.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 08, 2013, 06:44:17 am: Geoff also made rocking horses for a few years Michele - no mean feat from a wheelchair and being a butcher not a carpenter. He made 6 large & 4 small ones and it used to take him months to finish one. It finally became too much for him and he retired from the shed. Will see if I can find some photos to take a snap of. The one with the red frame was an old one he renovated for a friend of his, it had bits missing and was in really bad condition.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: jo_nz on January 08, 2013, 07:06:47 am: Wow, JD, G's horses are lovely. We have one made by my FIL, which we of course love, but it's nothing like those beauties!

Post by: goldfish on January 08, 2013, 07:21:28 am: Judy. .. They're magnificent! What fantastic craftsmanship!! Geoff is really talented-just gorgeous! Doubt you'd find anything that comes anywhere near them in any shop!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on January 08, 2013, 07:28:47 am: JD, Geoff did an amazing job with the rocking horses & from a wheelchair. I always wanted one, was going to get cp one but he showed no interest :(

Did he sell them?

:)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mcmich on January 08, 2013, 07:31:48 am: Put all the photos away for now. Will look at them another time. Too many of late DH to bear with tonight.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 08, 2013, 07:34:08 am: He got paid a small amount for 3 of the small ones but the others were all gifts to family members with the exception of 2 which he made for friends who had cancer. He knew they both wanted one for their grand-children so he worked very long hours to get them made in time - he just made it and they were able to see the joy on their grand-children's faces before they passed away.

Michelle, looking at old photos brings back many sad memories and you have to be in the right frame of mind to look through them. :-* :-*

You should be proud jd they are lovely... We had a bought wooden rocking horse that was a gift tht the kids grew out of but nothing like geoffs ones.. How special and what a talented man 😊

We gave ours back to the givers daughter for his grandkids as our kids had grown out of it as it was small amd she is also a friend amd has a baby and her sisters have young babies so it will say in their famiy.

I can only imagine JD. Craftmans - they are few and far between now.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: deedub on January 08, 2013, 09:05:58 am: My dad did carpentry work after his stroke & also made rocking horses (nowhere near as good as Geoff's JD). He couldn't use his right side but luckily he was left handed. The workshop was run by the QEH, (queen Elizabeth hospital) and they donated what they made to charity mostly but I do still have the rocking horse he made years ago for my nephew who's now 15!
Had planned to have spaghetti bolognese for dinner but the inlaws gave us baked pasta dish for lunch so instead we had chops, lamb & feta burgers, chips & salad. Using up bits & pieces from the freezer.

Wish I could meet Geoff. We would have a lot in common - that's the best part of my job - meeting people and we often become friends.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 08, 2013, 09:11:45 am: Hang onto it deedub, they become family heirlooms and can always be restored down the track. Geoff always put photos and bits and pieces inside his horses as he knows that one day they will fall to bits and it will be nice for the then owner to discover some sort of story behind the horse. In the one for my girlfriend, I typed out a story about her and put photos of her and I when we were growing up together - we were friends for just over 50 years.

Geoff gets on well with his shower girls Michele, he thinks they are district nurses though ;)

I changed our menu for tonight and we are having potato pie and veggies. There was a fire nearby late this afternoon and we had to close up etc as it released chemical fumes. I didn't know anything about it until DDphoned and told us. Now I know why the helicopters were all flying round.

What is that? I hear you ask. Well, it's what you make when you only have 5 lasagne sheets in the box( because you have been doing the shopping challenge) and a third of a packet of fettuccini . I did one layer of lasagne, one layer of fettuccini, and another layer of lasagne. It may have looked a little odd, but it still tasted good ;D

Post by: maddy on January 09, 2013, 09:39:21 pm: Judy....what stunning horses Geoff crafted! truly gorgeous.
Hubby once tried to restore his childhood rocking horse....it was the most deformed looking thing I have ever seen! LOL. I couldn't stop laughing!
It was originally covered in fur, so in his wisdom, he tanned a cow hide and "tried" to recover with it.......I wish I had a picture of it ;D

Dinner...friend over today with digger for the pool hole, so his family coming over later. Though I'd make a warm artichoke dip, tandoori chicken salad, a warm pasta dish, T-bones for the boys, pizza bianca topped with semi dried toms/spinach/feta/pine nuts, and a ranch dressing coleslaw.

It's funny how different people interpret plans - a friend of ours borrowed them and his looked nothing like Geoff's (ours all looked the same).

Great meal for the workers, I would have offered to help too just to eat your food.

Tea here tonight is curried tuna.

Post by: JulieO on January 11, 2013, 09:30:01 am: Looks really delicious Fundj. Once you become more familiar with the new cooking method, I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. I couldn't be without mine now, no way. :D

Today I made Jamie's Spicy Prawns, rainbow salad and dressing.

I loved the prawns but as you cook them in their shells under the griller, it made for a messy meal peeling them at the table before being able to eat them! ;D

The shells didn't come away cleanly either like normal, but the prawns tasted wonderful, dipping them into the cooking juices that was poured over them to serve. Some nice bread to mop up the rest went down well too.

Next time I'm going to see what they are like if I shell them first. :D

Post by: judydawn on January 12, 2013, 07:40:39 am: I cooked extra vegies with today's lunch so that we could have this frittata for tea tonight. For those with their new black pizza makers, a bit of advice - have all your ingredients ready to go (ie vegies cut up, eggs beaten etc) when you start making this. When it's cooked, I removed the cooking dish from the pizza maker, placed a plate over the frittata and upended it onto the plate using a tea towel to cover the hot spots. You can then place another plate on top of it and turn it up the right way for serving.

Astarra you will love the chicken recipe - let us know what you are going to do with the very tasty chicken stock too.

No MF, it was a first for us, we have lots of silverbeet in my dad's garden so it was a good way to use it. Will make it again though as I think it would be good for work lunches

Post by: Kimmyh on January 15, 2013, 08:42:47 am: Yummy MF. Just like tandoori chicken mild curry but all mixed in. Handy risotto recipe. Will make the red curry paste way next time. Need to buy lemongrass and limes/lemons as tree forgot to grow them this year :D

I nearly had a dinner disaster tonight :-\ Making Sonan's Low Fat Pasta Carbonara, and I realised I only had 180g pasta :o So in went some noodles :-)) Then the sauce boiled over so much that I didn't think there would be enough left in the TMX :o And in the end it turned out like a soup, but I was completely over it by that stage so I just served it in bowls with spoons ;D

Had a lovely lunch out at beachside restaurant but now having a small serve of the best beef rendang I have ever cooked.
Using recipe from my Balinese 'family' that I have had for 20 years but first time I have cooked in pressure cooker.... They don't eat beef as Hindu but love the Javanese rendang so they substitute chicken and theirs is amazing,. I have used their recipe for years but the pressure cooker delivered the best ever... Love it ;D

Are you allowed to share the recipe with us Mama, or is it a family secret? :D

Mcmich, your dinner looks lovely. :D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 20, 2013, 10:38:03 pm: If you have 4 mouths to feed Hally, unless you do them all at once, you will have to share the first one then be up and down from the table making the rest throughout the whole meal. So much easier to put them all on the table at once so that you can enjoy your meal too and not feel like a pizza maker/waitress ;) Perhaps you can make yourself & CP a pizza one day for lunch when DH is away or at work.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on January 20, 2013, 10:45:57 pm: Yes as I have to be seated at the table as we have a lovey foster boy with adhd here today for 3 days. He needs to be watched especially around pizza, lol. last time he was here. i told dh to check his bag, he foud 1/2 a pizza in there with each slice a bite taken out. we cracked up laughing later & I dont mind him taking food but I need to know for health reasons. there was chicken on the pizza & if he ate it later in our heat he could have got very sick.

Dh & I still laugh about it :)

Children in care often hoard food, its very common for them to have a stash somewhere.

we tell all the kids theres plenty of food here, they can take what thy like when they leave, , but let me organise it.

If it was the 3 of us I would use the machine :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: DizzyGirl on January 20, 2013, 10:54:54 pm: Hally, how sad that they have to hide food.
Perhaps you could buy him a special container with a clear lid that he can put food in. Put his name on it and put it in the fridge. Tell him that it is his only and he can add to it at anytime and also eat from it when hungry. That way you know the food will not perish as quickly. The clear lid will also allow you to see what's in it without opening.
We did that for a child we looked after for a weekend. It helped and they got to take the container home full of goodies.

Had a lovely lunch out at beachside restaurant but now having a small serve of the best beef rendang I have ever cooked.
Using recipe from my Balinese 'family' that I have had for 20 years but first time I have cooked in pressure cooker.... They don't eat beef as Hindu but love the Javanese rendang so they substitute chicken and theirs is amazing,. I have used their recipe for years but the pressure cooker delivered the best ever... Love it ;D

Are you allowed to share the recipe with us Mama, or is it a family secret? :D

Mcmich, your dinner looks lovely. :D

PLEASE PLEASE

Yes as I have to be seated at the table as we have a lovey foster boy with adhd here today for 3 days. He needs to be watched especially around pizza, lol. last time he was here. i told dh to check his bag, he foud 1/2 a pizza in there with each slice a bite taken out. we cracked up laughing later & I dont mind him taking food but I need to know for health reasons. there was chicken on the pizza & if he ate it later in our heat he could have got very sick.

Dh & I still laugh about it :)

Children in care often hoard food, its very common for them to have a stash somewhere.

we tell all the kids theres plenty of food here, they can take what thy like when they leave, , but let me organise it.

Oh Hally that did make me sad for these children :( you are a very special person doing a great job. Xxx
If it was the 3 of us I would use the machine :)

Great story Hally.
Made three pizzas in new frittata machine tonight. Everyone happy. The others were boring but mine had JD's garlic sauce, mushrooms and CC's spiced beef. Delicious. Our oven had a keep warm function so kept pizzas warm until third one done. Seemed to work ok.

Verdict - with a book over 30 years old, this was a little disappointing as what we liked 30 years ago leaves our taste buds looking for something a little extra today. It was OK but I don't think I would do it again.

A Jamie Oliver pasta tonight - being made by my youngest who is a brand new vegetarian (a decision taken the other day after helping her dad to load the steers for their last (and only, actually) ride.
my 6 year old DD wants to become a vegetarian (only cause she doesn't really like meat) but I told her she will need to learn to like mushrooms and dark leafy greens. She said she would stay eating meat, lol.

How old is your DD?

With some tweaking it might be nice :)

We had the high protein almond salad, green salad and steak with a boiled egg. DH really liked the almond salad. It makes a lot though, considering you can't eat a lot of it. Next time I would halve the amount of almonds and sunflower seeds.

I was lacking inspiration tonight, and was looking through my Nigella app and came across a recipe for a ham based pasta that looked vaguely familiar. I looked on here, and followed Hally' s directions for her leftover Christmas ham pasta. It was delicious, but next time I would cook the pasta in the stovetop as I found it a bit starchy. Dessert was a choice of vanilla icecream or frozen peach yoghurt.

Post by: JulieO on January 30, 2013, 10:14:37 am: Tonight I made Jamie’s Cajun Spicy Chicken from his 15 min meals book.

Chicken breasts were rolled in a mixture of Cajun seasoning, salt and polenta then flattened with a rolling pin and pan fried for a few mins until golden and cooked through.

The coriander, tomato, spring onions and grilled corn cob salsa with lime juice went perfectly with it as did the sweet potato mash, flavoured with a little sweet chilli sauce (and a small knob of butter).

Jamie’s meals never disappoint. :)

She is a wonderful seamstress - would make evening gowns for all the neighbourhood women in the 60's - and in the 70's, when casual long dresses were referred to as patio dresses. She knits, makes fabulous cards (probably where I get my love of card making). Also a very caring nurse and the best mum ever. :)

Yes footy in Feb. Parramatta Eels are now sponsored by UNE in Armidale, so they had a trial match up here.

My team, The Newcastle Knights, we're a disgrace. We left just after 3/4 time to beat the crowds.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Kimmyh on February 02, 2013, 10:07:15 pm: Thanks DG.

I am vic so Aussie rules but know exactly what you mean by leaving early to beat the crowd ;)
It doesn't help when you follow the team that everyone loves to hate :D

Post by: Yvette on February 02, 2013, 10:21:49 pm: Yay so Parramatta won :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: DizzyGirl on February 02, 2013, 10:46:53 pm: Yep they did Yvette :(
Knights need to learn how to tackle. They deserve to walk home (all the way from Armidale to Newcastle) and I told their bus driver that too. :)

Had a lovely lunch out at beachside restaurant but now having a small serve of the best beef rendang I have ever cooked.
Using recipe from my Balinese 'family' that I have had for 20 years but first time I have cooked in pressure cooker.... They don't eat beef as Hindu but love the Javanese rendang so they substitute chicken and theirs is amazing,. I have used their recipe for years but the pressure cooker delivered the best ever... Love it ;D

Are you allowed to share the recipe with us Mama, or is it a family secret? :D

MF, it seems a few people are interested in your Beef Rendang recipe - any chance of you sharing with us please?

Dinner tonight will be slowcooked lamb chops in gravy with mash, steamed veg, zucchini slice and kumara for DH and the girls - probably just mash and gravy for me...(had a filling fall out when I had morning sickness, and the thought of someone poking around in my mouth was near enough to make me heave, so kinda forgot about it - til last night when it decided to ache all night til I finally gave in and took some panadol... anyhow, I have a Dentist appnt at 12:45pm today......)

Astarra, it never pays to put off going to the dentist - there is nothing worse than a toothache, well there probably is but it's the sort of pain which is hard to get rid of.

I was a little tongue in cheek :) but it really was a lovely meal, with many varied choices.
Its the first pub in Winchelsea Kt2, so a little way out of Geelong.

Post by: Mama Fergie on February 12, 2013, 06:40:53 am: Will be posting the rendang recipe when I get my wifi fixed cookie. You can make it as spicy as you want it. It's traditionally quite spicy but you don't have to add as much chilli as per recipe. They are not from books but from Balinese friends that I have had for many years. I can post the chicken and rice recipes as well if you are interested. Losing some posts that I think have sent due to wifi disconnecting periodically. Very frustrating especially with recipes. :(

Will be posting the rendang recipe when I get my wifi fixed cookie. You can make it as spicy as you want it. It's traditionally quite spicy but you don't have to add as much chilli as per recipe. They are not from books but from Balinese friends that I have had for many years. I can post the chicken and rice recipes as well if you are interested. Losing some posts that I think have sent due to wifi disconnecting periodically. Very frustrating especially with recipes. :(

The chicken recipe would be great too MF thanks

Making my first frittata in the new machine tonight.
Did anyone who made it in the machine have any problems with the timing in the booklet or was it all good?
Hope it is as nice as the conventional cooking method ;)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: kt2 on February 13, 2013, 03:19:35 am: I didn't cook it as long as in the book, if I did it would have been well and truly burnt! I think I only good it for half the time stated but just went by smell and look of it! ;D I also rotated it quite often - mine cooked really quick! ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on February 13, 2013, 03:39:45 am: Thanks kt2 that's what I was worried about.
When I cook it of the stove top you can see it setting and then I pop in the oven under the grill. Dont tine it just go by sight.
I presume it cooks in the machine with the lid on all of the time?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: kt2 on February 13, 2013, 03:54:05 am: Yes, I have the lid down while it's cooking. I use the vegetable frittata recipe in the instruction book but I think I also just kept it on setting 2 while cooking. :)

Post by: Nikkit on February 14, 2013, 04:34:04 am: Sounds good Amy.
I'm doing pork chops - not sure how yet, with some veges and then apple pie type thing, haven't really decided. I may just have to make another coffee and trawl through here for inspiration!
I'm the non-romantic one in the family (took after my Dad!) hubby is the romantic one - but I remembered V day thismorning! We have been together for 23 years and married for 17 and love eachother to bits. :)
I wonder if my girls will get a V day card today? Miss 11 did last year and hid it - not very well as I found it later. So cute when they're 10!! Miss 16 is not impressed with boys (or girls!) so don't think she'll give one, but the boys like her, so will be interesting...
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on February 14, 2013, 04:40:24 am: Thanks ladies, I just hope it goes to plan.... ;)

We don't give each other gifts on Valentine's Day, but my DH can be romantic and has sent me flowers at other times over the years.

He did give me a Valentine's card yesterday ;D
We were having breakfast and he presented me with a red envelope and said "Happy Valentine's Day Baby". I said it's tomorrow! He said really?? Off he went to check the calendar, swearing...
He tried to get out of it by saying he loves me so much he couldn't wait :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on February 14, 2013, 06:01:37 am: LOL Katie but that is so sweet :D

Have to say my DH often surprises me with flowers and gifts throughout the year too which is really nice.

We are all lucky to love and be loved in return even although we all show it in different ways.

Good luck with the pies Amy

Your brainwave dinner sounds nice, let us know how it goes.

I've just finished my dinner. Gotta day, couscous, wow, what have I been missing out on. And the parsnip and fennel puree, wow. Thanks masterchef for that idea. The fennel in the green grocer looked dried out so I crushed some fennel seeds instead It was amazing and the couscous I cooked in chicken stock and it sat under the salmon and absorbed the orange sauce. It was so good... Amazing

The dessert was ok. It's the only picture I got to take of a spare one. It oozed chocolate like its supposed to but I'm over using bitter chocolate, next time, I'll tone it down with some milk chocolate(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/14/jutyby2u.jpg)

He said you shouldn't need a special day to remind you to tell someone you love them and I have to agree. Everyday is Valentines Day he says. To me if you love someone, you tell them every chance you get, and show them how much you care by doing the little things that made you fall in love with them in the first place.

The dessert was ok. It's the only picture I got to take of a spare one. It oozed chocolate like its supposed to but I'm over using bitter chocolate, next time, I'll tone it down with some milk chocolate

Chrissa, not sure which recipe you made, but I used Cadbury Premium Baking Chocolate (45%) in mine and it was just right for us, not bitter and not too sweet. I'd use it again. :)

I used whittakers dark Ghana 72% but did substitute about a quarter of it with some 45% chocolate but it wasn't enough to tone it down

Cookie its a mix of sliced zucchini,eggplant, onion, potato, tomatoes, garlic and roasted capsicum, tossed in olive oil and oven baked. For around 90 minutes. I cook it uncovered in a roasting pan for 45 minutes and then cover it with foil for another 30-45 minutes. I add some oregano, thyme and parsley before cooking which i forgot to say and stir through some feta before serving. A nice vegetarian meal with some crusty bread or a side dish with lamb. Forgot to mention salt and pepper to taste. :) if I use fresh tomatoes I add some passata as well so it's not too dry.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on February 22, 2013, 05:09:37 am: Enjoy Nikki! :D :D I hope you don't have the same problem my mum and SD had last night. They made a booking at a restaurant, but when they arrived there was a sign on the door saying "due to unforseen circumstances we will not be opening tonight". They tried 4 other restaurants before they found one which was open AND had a table :-)) I was happily sitting at home with an omelette and stir fried vegetables watching MKR ;D

Tonight will be something easy. Maybe pizza if I have enough ingredients for toppings ;)

Post by: Amy :-) on February 22, 2013, 05:32:26 am: I agree Yvette, but I was inspired by the salt dough idea last night. I think I'll try it sometime, but obviously I'd do it properly ;) ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Aussie Brenda on February 22, 2013, 05:48:57 am: I'm enjoying MKR , I wonder how any of us would go with the time and pressure, I would cry like little Miss Cupcake so I could get a cuddle from Manu.

Post by: Frozzie on February 22, 2013, 06:18:47 am: I agree yvette most of them cant cook but sure can talk about how good they think they are...

I cant believe how many had never heard of salt dough or croute de sel... Maybe its just more common in france??? That poor couple didnt know how to make it properly either or pasta doygh but im sure he strss of the show amd timing had something to do with it.. No way you would find me on any knd of reality tv show.. I hate being rushed..

I dont like how judgemental all the contestants are especially when they do no better.. The judges must have a good laugh to themslves off camera ... I hate the show but on the ad the judges give someone alot of 10/10.. Want to know who it is???!!!

Dinner will be cp's crumbed chicken with vegies or salad..might do it in nugget size pieces for the kids..
Title: Re: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: *suzanne* on February 22, 2013, 08:26:03 am: chicken and vegetable soup and burgers and fries

I need to do some baking soon as the biscuit container is almost empty, but it will be too hot tomorrow. >:(

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Frozzie on February 22, 2013, 11:05:07 am: A little lol... I was just pleased to cook something even if it was only coated chicken.. That was only 4 individual breast pieces though but i slice them in small pieces.. I find it goes further that way...

I often coat chicken with different spice mixes however had never used a wet mix like this recipe ie the egg flour and milk mixed together to make a paste.. I find it sticks better to the coating than the standard flour egg then crumb..
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JuliaC83 on February 22, 2013, 11:18:00 am: Made a tomato beef stew with kefir milk steamed dumplings. Sooo yummy ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on February 22, 2013, 11:23:09 am: Kim, I didn't do that!

CP says to
Dip meat pieces in a) plain flour b) then wet mix c) then dry ingredient mix.

The wet mix being the egg and milk.

Did you really mix the flour with the egg and milk?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Frozzie on February 22, 2013, 11:30:37 am: Oops i read it as wet mix ..eggs plus milk and flour .. Yes i mixed them together lol.. Found it a bit strange but thought what the hell give it a try.. Well it worked and i found it stuck quite well actually...better than just flour egg or egg/milk and crumb.. A mistake but it works well

A little like a crumbed batter .. Haha but ill be doing thi from now on.. Easy!!

Post by: Jamberie on February 25, 2013, 10:48:36 am: We went to my Mum & Dad's place for dinner tonight. Dad was making Corned Beef so I brought my TMX over for him to make the parsley sauce...I went to the garden and picked the parsley, put it on the bench with the other ingredients and Dad said "What, does that thing chop the parsley too?" I made Dad make the sauce all by himself, he loved it! I think I may be able to convince him to buy one soon :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Next time we are going to cook the whole corned beef in the TMX using Judy's recipe...I was talking to Dad on the phone and he said that the beef was 1.7kg and I didn't see any reviews with a piece that size so thought we'd try again with a smaller size...

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on February 25, 2013, 12:04:30 pm: I needed something easy and forgiving tonight, so I made tuna mornay. I made the cheese sauce, left it in the jug, went to my class, and when I got back, cooked it for another 2 minutes, and then added the tuna and corn, and heAted it a little further. Then added the lemon juice, poured it into bowls, topped with grated cheese and whacked the bowls under the griller. On the table within 10 mins of getting home ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on February 25, 2013, 12:08:40 pm: Can't beat that ES. I was only thinking of tuna mornay this morning - thought I'd make a batch and take some to Mum for her freezer.

Post by: JulieO on February 26, 2013, 05:15:53 am: Early dinner for us as DH has to leave for work shortly (14 hour shift).

Today I made Parmesan Chicken and Judy's Parmesan Potatoes.

The chicken breasts were coated in a fresh breadcrumb and herb mixture then browned off quickly in a saute pan. Some home made tomato sauce was then spooned over and around the breasts, sprinkled with grated parmesan and sliced mozzarella, put a lid on the pan and then baked in the oven for about 10 mins in a v hot heat. Removed lid and baked further 5 mins until cheese was melted and chicken was cooked through. ;D

Is there something that you have been craving? Chicken? fish? I like the look of the lemon chicken recipe that has just been posted, and my DS has requested satay chicken skewers, or maybe Tenina's mushroom and quinoa lasagne?

Tonight DS chose pasta carbonara for dinner, and then I made the kids chocolate cakes in a mug for dessert.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Frozzie on March 01, 2013, 10:35:36 am: Mep not at all.. Its chookies recipe from the forum.. Really easy.. I only put lemon peel in.. Just had two .. They were delish andcooked to perfection.. Yummo!

She says an hour and a half for first rise but inthink in about 30-40 mins mine was well and truly doubled.like any bread it depends on the temp in your kitchen..or wherever your preparing the dough and sitting it to rise... I used fresh yeast ad i always use fresh.. Then 30 mins resting.. Then cook 20 mins at 200 fan forced..

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on March 02, 2013, 05:21:46 am: I made this recipe from the Recipe Community. I didn't expect it to taste as good as it did! Loved all the different flavours from the marinade, dressing and pistachio mayo.

My meat took longer to cook than stated but it was so tender at the end of cooking. I think next time I will just buy fillet steaks and either cook on the bbq or stove top and serve either whole or sliced with the lovely salad.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on March 02, 2013, 10:59:14 am: Finally had dinner!! :D

I'll admit that while making these, I was really disappointed. My mixture was very watery and since I have never even eaten enchiladas before, I wasn't sure if that was right :-\
But I dished them up and they're sooooooo yummy, I think the mixture needed to be watery so it softened the tortillas. I loved them and definitely will be making again!! ;D ;D ;D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on March 04, 2013, 10:11:26 pm: Had a great night out last night thanks girls. Huge hall (used for Italian weddings) with black and white panelled fabric roof draping towards the sides, fairy lights at every join and huge chandeliers strategically placed along the length of the room. 300 people there last night - the group who hold this function the first Monday of the month at this venue (next to Target on Tapleys Hill Road for local girls) is called the Adelaide Music Group, mainly older people. They served 2 types of dishes, crumbed fish or roasted fillet steak and you virtually got what came your way. As I knew my friend on my left really wanted the fillet steak meal, I let her have mine and I had the fish - 3 pieces with vegies. We had started off with cheese/crackers/bread rolls and I shared a bottle of moscato with my friend on the right. The 3 piece band and singer struck up after we had eaten our main course then at interval we had a choice of desserts - so many choices but I picked the pannacotta to go with my coffee. Had a great time although the music was not really to our taste (jazz) and the seats became very hard after 3.5 hours. Something different for our group though.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on March 07, 2013, 08:59:19 am: It should do Hally with the acid in the vinegar and lemon but you wouldn't want to marinate for too long or it may cook.

Post by: EmeraldSue on March 09, 2013, 10:09:42 am: Although it was hot here today and I didn't really want to turn the oven on, I needed to make some more muesli. I used Tenina's almond and cranberry recipe, but used 1kg of oats, and added macadamia's and chia seeds. The kids were
attracted by the yummy smell, and DD had it for lunch, and DA has decided that he will have it for breakfast.
DH requested chili chocolate icecream, so I made him a Chilli choc gelato from my new Icecream book. He thinks it needs more Chilli, but DD likes it as it is.
Dinner tonight was Thermo free as I fancied a chicken stirfry with noodles :)

Peppermint tea, baked beans - my list of your favourite things is growing CC :D You will have to get a bit fancier than that though - not that we will be having too many meals at home in August.

DD1 bought a new camera today and somehow managed to put her battery in back to front and jam it in hard ??? I couldn't get it out, so I said go next door (we have interconnecting back gate). Not only did they get it out but we had champers, BBQ ribs, moussaka and salad for tea and little home made biccies for dessert. Jeez I love having them there:-*

Since we have shifted we have gorgeous neighbours all round, o e who even mows our lawn when we are away and others who we chat too. One next door is rented and the only time we hear them is when the children are sliding down the roof or the adults are having a domestic and threatening to kill each other. :-)) it all balances out.

Why don't you do some different salads... coleslaw, beetroot, greek, garden, etc... and do some cold cooked salads. I love doing them :D

Jadey, no I didn't make the awesome sauces ;D We're not big sauce fans unless its actually part of the main dish, like the sauce of a curry or casserole. And they weren't dry at all, so I enjoyed them by themselves :D

I prefer the saying "sweet burritos" ;D

We can't even just get take aways as apparently the whole of the main street is without power too!! I have thawed some corned silverside too in the hopes that the power stays on long enough to do in it my TM if need be. Otherwise it will be frozen bread and spreads!!! ;) :-\ :D

Yep, all electric - I had the option of gas or induction when we did up our kitchen - but I can't stand the smell of gas (I know, most people don't even notice it, but I do :-)) ) So went induction (which I love love love - but is no good when there is no power!!!) All good today thankfully! :)

I am always so impressed by how you turn one meal into two or more completely different meals. Most inspiring. I have been trying to do it more myself but have only really succeeded in converting roast dinners into alternative meals for the next few days.

Amy here is the photo of the meat we had last night. I use skirt steak and slice it thinly, coat with Dijon mustard, put a few carrot slices in, a tiny cornichon,and some bacon. I then roll it up and secure with a toothpick or cooking string. Brown them, then cook in stock about half way up for a couple of hours. Remove the beef and reduce and thicken the stock for gravy.

Post by: Jadey on March 15, 2013, 10:17:41 am: OOo that Shepherds pie looks so yummy!

Tonight was Corned beef and Cheesey Mash for us. No photos tonight because I think hubby would have eaten my arm off if I'd made him wait. He's been out all day and didn't eat lunch.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on March 15, 2013, 11:29:53 am: Kim, that pie looks delicious.
I made Chookie's lemon chicken tonight. I partially cooked it, and then went down the street for bubbles with the neighbour's, then came home, reheated the chicken and stir fried the vegies. Late dinner tonight🍸
Here is a quick photo I took just before I demolished it

for dinner whatever the IL's are cooking ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Kimmyh on March 16, 2013, 08:39:28 am: Thanks Suzanne. I liked the been hoon, it's very tasty, but DH didn't. These are more moist than the Singapore noodles I make in the wok. He prefers the wok recipe. Children gobbled them up. That's always a good sign.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on March 16, 2013, 10:34:32 am: I just love the feeling of tossing a big pile of vegetables and noodles around... there's something very satisfying about it, don't you think Kimmy? :) And I'm afraid the TMX, despite how much I love it, can't replicate a delicious wok stir-fry ;)

For dinner, Judy's Chicken and Vegetable loaves... cooked as a slice instead :) Served with gravy and potato wedges and steamed peas. Loved it ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Kimmyh on March 16, 2013, 11:04:31 am: Yes I agree with you Amy. Color is flavour ;)

Love the idea of the slice Amy. Looks yummy.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

One we did with slices of haloumi, mozzarella, green peppercorns and a bit of cream sauce. It was lovely. The recipe was from Theo's number 2 book.

Post by: Persistenttiger on March 18, 2013, 11:52:23 am: We had pizza. I made the bases (edc recipe) and par cooked them, topped with sauce, bacon, cheeses (and sneaky vital veggie powder) and froze. The little ones had just that with salad and the teenaged one had chicken, sundried tomatoes and baby spinach added to his. They tasted great - I wasn't sure how the par baked frozen bases would go, but they were fantastic and will definitely do them again. Good for lazy dinners.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cowley on March 18, 2013, 09:19:26 pm: I adapted a recipe I have always made with the packet pastas. I cooked sliced chicken and onions. I confess I fried them with garlic. nothing can beat the fried onion. Then in the thermie I put 180g spiral pasta and a tin of evaporated milk and 280 water. I put in frozen veges and Parmesan cheese. I also added oyster sauce cos I don't like things too creamy i like a stronger flavour. cook 100 degrees 12 mins speed 1 reverse. add to chicken and onion and serve.

My beef dish last night didn't turn out how I wanted so I'm a bit disappointed. It was Cambodian Beef Loc Luk and I was hoping to post the recipe. Maybe I will try again in a couple of weeks.

Tonight is steamed chicken dumplings!! :D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cowley on March 19, 2013, 02:23:11 am: They loved it. Pkt pasta really tastes nasty now as they have tried to cut back on fat. Each "improved recipe" just tastes worse and worse. And of course this recipe is better because it is all natural ingredients. Its a recipe I make when I can't be bothered cooking cos it's so quick and easy.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: astarra on March 19, 2013, 03:19:02 am: Tonight - pork roast with the works. YUM - is it tea time yet.... :-))
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Persistenttiger on March 19, 2013, 05:27:23 am: Mmm Astarra. I refuse to cook another roast until DH gets a new oven. The door springs are broken and so the door doesn't seal. It took 2 hours to cook quartered roast potatoes on 200degC.

DH requested stir fry but I couldn't be bothered tonight. Honey mustard chicken with rice and veg will be it. Replacing cream with cashew cream.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: astarra on March 19, 2013, 06:08:43 am: I have been very spoilt, PT - when we did our new kitchen about 20mths ago, I got 2 single brand new ovens!!! :)
Don't think I'd feel like cooking if my oven took that long either! ;)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cowley on March 19, 2013, 08:24:57 am: Baked pork chops
Sliced potato with a layer of onions, mixed cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup milk poured over that, then seared pork chops layered on top with grated cheese on top of that. All baked in the oven for an hour. It is scrummy.
Baked homegrown tomatoes with onion and breadcrumb topping

Post by: Jamberie on March 22, 2013, 08:31:26 am: It's 7.20pm and I had another one of those "OMG what are we going to have for dinner" moments....added with an "I can't be bothered" combined with "let's have take-away" feelings.

Then I remembered I have some chilli that needs using...so I made a Matriciana. I was just about to pull out the old style pots and pans when I thought about making it in the TMX...Chopped a clove of garlic, an onion and about 200g bacon, then added 20g oil and cooked on Varoma temp for 5 minutes...while it was cooking I came on the forum to see if anyone had already posted a recipe.. and of course they had!
http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=131.0 (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=131.0)

Post by: Amy :-) on March 24, 2013, 11:34:58 am: That's a good idea Kimmy, I have lots of fun cookie cutters I could use too... ;D ;D And when I start making my own pasta I could do ravioli in fun shapes as well :D
What else could I use my cookie cutters for.... you've really got me thinking now Kimmy ;D
Title: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Kimmyh on March 24, 2013, 11:38:26 am: :) Mini sandwiches, toast shapes, cucumber slices. Just don't send them in his work lunchbox ;)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on March 24, 2013, 11:49:03 am: Thanks Kimmy ;D Pikelets would be another good one :D And if you're worried that people at work would take the p*** if SD had a star shaped sandwich at work, don't be... SD is the boss ;)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: astarra on March 25, 2013, 12:02:56 am: LOL Amy - I sometimes send DH with a shaped lunch (usually hearts for him tho ;) ), the girls often have shaped/themed lunches too! It is fun, there are heaps of things you can use cutters for...... I had to find ways to use my collection!!!

Dinner tonight will be leftover chicken mignons, hot chips and salad. :P
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Post by: CreamPuff63 on March 25, 2013, 05:39:12 am: Chelsea's Chow Mein.

DD2 is visiting from Sydney and her and boyfriend are coming over for tea. She makes it very hard because she wanted the chicken dish with lettuce, julienned vegetables and then sliced chicken...thought maybe it was QuirkyJo's recipe, but no, and I don't have any idea which one she's talking about. Could be Tenina's Vietnamese one in Spin a Dinner perhaps? and its not Sang boy chow or whatever its called. I wanted to cook something in the woodfire oven like a slow cooked lamb, but no she wants something "really healthy". Didn't want lamb curry and rice but only if I made it with quinoa instead, didn't want this or that and was wondering why I was fussing. She eats very plainly at home so I just wanted her to have something really tasty. I said "well you don't have to come over for tea if you don't want to?" so its the chow mein - nice and easy.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: jakodai on March 28, 2013, 11:16:44 am: We had Bangers & Mash (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3821.0) for dinner tonight, using the beef stock that I made in the pressure cooker earlier in the week. It was quite nice (this meal ALWAYS is) however I don't normally add salt or butter when I'm cooking it, because I would normally have used packaged liquid stock which has enough salt in it for me, however I didn't add any salt to the stock when I made it, so the gravy was lacking a little something, but still nice nonetheless. I'll just have to remember next to add just a little salt while I'm cooking it. :D

Very true. I didn't notice that it needed it until it was already on my plate, though. I probably could have added it then, but didn't worry about it. It was still pretty nice the way it was.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on March 29, 2013, 12:28:08 am: I did Amy ;)
I always say if something isn't right and always compliment the chef when everything is perfect. I still enjoyed it very much but hate having to add salt in a restaurant and the potatoes should have been nicer.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on March 29, 2013, 12:33:15 am: Good on you ;) You'd think the chef would be able to cook potatoes of all things, I wouldn't have thought it that hard :-))
I love being able to give honest wonderful compliments, but I also speak up when things aren't done properly. I once ordered a salad at a cafe and asked for the dressing on the side, but when it came out the entire salad was drenched in dressing. I said to the waitress "I asked for the dressing on the side" and she said "its just balsamic vinegar" so I said again "I asked for the dressing on the side" and handed the plate back to her ;D

Tomorrow will try the bulgar and quinoa grains in another ham salad. Ham needs eating.
I had banana for afters and DH had his treat of a choccie eclair left from yesterday.

Post by: Kimmyh on March 30, 2013, 08:57:09 am: Sounds yummy ES. I would choose the prawns :)
Want to make a bread and butter pudding with some hot cross buns tomorrow. What recipe did you use?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on March 30, 2013, 09:07:45 am: I'm definitely having the prawns, but the chicken does smell good......
I've followed DJ's recipe she mentioned recently for the hot cross bun pudding- I have buttered 5 or 6 chocolate buns and put them in a dish. I have soaked them in a mixture of 3 eggs, a couple of tablespoons of sugar and about 500ml of milk. I'm about to place them in the oven. It might be really stodgy as I forgot to add the yeast to the buns, and they are like rocks.
Fingers crossed!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: jakodai on March 30, 2013, 10:21:33 am: DS's dad is staying tonight (because the easter bunny is coming!) and he bought fish & chips with him, so I just had a couple of steamed dim sims tonight. Not very healthy, but i didn't have much of an appetite. DS & I went out with a kinder friend (who has Aspergers) and his mum today, and he was such a high-stress day for all involved. We didn't really think it through, and went and did a little shopping - way too much going on for our two, so they were basically uncontrollable. Next time, we'll go to a park or something where it doesn't matter if they run around and make lot's of noise!

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on April 04, 2013, 12:37:19 pm: Lovely meal at my friend's place - braised oyster steak and potatoes in a lovely tasting fruity oniony gravy with steamed vegies/pudding with custard. She always says she can't cook like me but the difference between me and most of my friends is that I love to cook and they don't. They can though and I am just an ordinary cook so there is no need to worry when I come to a meal - for some reason they do though. I sort of know what they mean as I felt the same when I used to have my very best friend to a meal because she was the greatest cook I have ever known.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Hally won't be Kimmy, she's allergic ;)

MF, I hope you enjoyed your Vietnamese Pho :D

I don't want to brag, but I cooked my scallops perfectly and I can't actually believe it ;D ;D ;D

Actually I don't like Pho Amy just made it for DS and DH as they both love it. I had a toasted sandwich ;)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on April 08, 2013, 11:34:55 pm: Oh... well I hope you enjoyed your sandwich MF :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on April 08, 2013, 11:40:06 pm: Ha ha Amy I did ..... ;D
I don't often make pho but when I do I make a big pot of the stock and freeze it so its easy if DH requests it.
It's just not something I enjoy .
Your scallops sounded yummy. May buy some as going to fishmonger tomorrow as DS has requested pasta vongole :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on April 09, 2013, 12:17:14 am: I wasn't sure what pho was so I had to ask Mr Google ;D
Good idea making big pots of pho so you can freeze it for DH and DS. Makes for an easy night of cooking if you're happy having a toasted sandwich :) I think I'm lucky that mum and SD don't usually request things, they just eat what I cook ;)
I still can't believe how good those scallops were last night. We very rarely have scallops and I've never had scallops as tasty as the ones we had last night. I hope you get tasty ones if you get some tomorrow :D
Just had to google vongole as well ;D

Thai Sweet Potato Soup (http://bushgourmand.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/thai-sweet-potato-soup.html), followed by a version of Baf's Chicken in Varoma (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5526.0), except I didn't use the Varoma!!
I made it a little differently and will post the method later on. Because I prepared it a little before we planned on eating it, I did it in stages, utilising the ThermoServer.

Post by: droverjess on April 17, 2013, 09:11:44 pm: We seem to have managed with wholewheat spaghetti ok since the op. if kids come home expect they'll grumble! We are trying to stick to it if we can.

How did the steamed dumplings go cookie with yeast? That's something I want to try!

We had lamb shanks tonight browned in pan with onions and leeks then pressure cooked with stock, carrots, and a dash of balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp red currant jelly and 2 tsp mint jelly. Very good, thickened the gravy a little with flour served with mash and spinach.

Two shanks made enough for us two with leftovers, perfect with a bit more gravy to go with dumplings I think.

Then I made half quantity invisible apple pie, with 3 Gala, from the cake thread all flung together and baked in a Pyrex dish. It was good.

Amy did you use the TM to make the lasagne? I was thinking I need to give lasagne a try do you have a fave recipe?

I do use my TMX to make the meat sauce and bechamel sauce Kath, but I don't actually follow a recipe. I just use a basic method: make meat sauce first, then bechamel, and then layer them in a casserole dish with lasagne sheets. I love doing my lasagne this way because its so easy to make variations on it. I can substitute any meat in the sauce (my top three would be beef, kangaroo or chicken), or I can use borlotti beans or lentils to make it vegetarian. I can use potato or sweet potato instead of pasta. I can add as many vegetables to my meat sauce as I want. I can add cheese to the bechamel or just sprinkle it on top :)
My meat sauce is pretty basic: onion, garlic, tinned tomatoes, tomato paste, herbs, minced meat, stock, worcestershire sauce, vegetables (carrot, celery, zucchini, cabbage, mushrooms, spinach, etc.) and cornflour to thicken. If I use a lot of vegetables that have high water contents, I don't add much water.
If I've made a big batch of napolitana sauce and have some in the freezer, I'll just defrost that and add my meat and vegetables to it.

Sorry, that probably wasn't helpful ;D ;D

No CP, it's more like a coffee maple syrup flavour. Just substitute a tablespoon of wattleseeds for vanilla in the EDC basic icecream recipe. It really is worth trying.

Hamburgers, salad and Hally's mac and cheese.

I spray the slowcooker, then layer the chops in (usually end up with a double layer or whatever), spray the tops, then sprinkle with either Masterfoods lamb seasoning or lamb herbs, onion flakes and gravy powder. I then pour over about 1.5 - 2C total of liquid (water mixed with coke/wine or just water) then turn onto low for however long. Always so moist and yum - just melts in your mouth. :) And there is a yummy flavoursome garvy too!!

Forgot to post about dinner last night. I was told at 3:30pm that mum and SD were inviting SD's cousin and his wife around for dinner, I had never met these people before so I was really worried! Not to mention that we only had 3 pieces of steak. I found some more red meat in the freezer which I defrosted, and I cut the steak smaller so everyone could have a bit of both. I made a big bowl of homemade chips, which I wish I had photographed because they looked amazing! I had been going to do salad, but we didn't have enough salad veg for everyone so I did a big dish of cauliflower cheese instead. I made a mushroom sauce too, but I was a little disappointed because I didn't saute the onion long enough and it was still a little crunchy. All in all it was a pretty good meal though, and I think any little mistakes were forgiven when I brought DB's cake out ;)
It was very much a TGFT experience ;D

Like you, I want to give as much thought to a nice menu and presentation as possible when we have guests around. I would never normally serve steak, chips and cauliflower cheese! Usually it would be a lovely slow cooked roast with a good selection of vegetable side dishes, followed by some sort of pudding with custard.

We used rump steak, and put some EVOO instead of adding fat, a fair bit of black pepper and lots of parsley. We were cautious as it is our first lot.

Yum Cookie :D

I used your caramelised onion recipe from the fetta and mushroom tarts and the slow cooker for the casserole. It turned out very well.

Post by: judydawn on May 17, 2013, 11:25:39 am: It certainly is a long recipe with lots of ingredients Michele but the TMX can help out with the bacon and leek step as well as the caramelising of the onions so that has to save some time. It was obviously worth the effort though?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on May 17, 2013, 02:32:16 pm: Mich that looks amazing ;D ;D ;D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on May 20, 2013, 12:56:40 pm: ES I did 35 minutes in the pressure cooker making sure they were all covered in the liquid and then used the slow natural release method (stove top pc). Once the time was up, I removed the ribs (thoe bones fell away from the meat) and covered the meat with foil and placed in a low oven to keep warm. I then strained the liquid and put back in the pc and reduced over a high flame until the liquid was a more sauce consistency. Once our veggies and rice were ready I then uncovered the meat and poured the sauce over the meat and everyone helped themselves. today for lunch I had the left over veggies and rice with some of the sauce poured over. The sauce is very rich once reduced so you may want to check before pouring it over the meat.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: CreamPuff63 on May 20, 2013, 02:23:07 pm: My sister came over for tea so it was Greek Lamb & Vegie Tray Bake from the C*les free mag (yummy/easy), and then Bread & Butter Pudding(her fave dessert) with homemade brioche bread from the EDC. Not normally a big lover of b&b pudding but the brioche was gorgeous - sort of cake like (and I upped the sugar to 130g as suggested for a sweeter bread) sister loved it and said she is going to ring mum and tell her to lift her game ha ha

Funnily enough the bread just wasn't doubling in size like normal. Reasons for this is possibly it is quite coolish here of late, and also my dry yeast is on the cusp of expiry. After about 2.5 hours of waiting around I chucked it in the oven and it actually rose beautifully. The whole loaf is used for this recipe bar 3cm (in my tin).
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on May 20, 2013, 02:36:41 pm: So this review of the Bread & Butter pudding is from the latest EDC CP?

I was thinking the same thing Judy... Maybe if the recipes were listed with the old version but (2013) at the end of the title to help avoid confusion? ACW said somewhere she looked at 8 recipes and they were the same in both editions for her.... There are possibly a lot that are the same.

Post by: CreamPuff63 on May 21, 2013, 12:56:52 am: Given the recent problem with my blades I felt that 650g was a lot if hard sticky dough for the machine and I did hear it straining a bit. For that reason I won't be making the brioche often.

So, instead, I am cooking the sausages that DH bought at the market today. Some are camel, and some are crocodile. :o
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Amy :-) on May 21, 2013, 11:41:40 am: Oh wow ES :o :o :-X

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: snappy on May 21, 2013, 11:47:17 am: They certainly are some gourmet sausages ES! Have you had camel or crocodile before?

I made chicken enchiladas in the 5 in 1 tonight. Second time I've done it and it's an absolute winner with the family. I am using the 5 in1 for dinner at least two nights a week so it's been a great buy.

Stupid question or you wouldn't say you like it Amy. ;)

We really like that bolognaise MF...a lot of people don't though. It seems a bit lighter than some other spag bol sauces. I think the trick is to not call it bolognaise. It has a lovely orange and star anise flavour throughout, but looks like a regular bolognaise. I give people a warning before they eat it so they are not expecting something else.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on May 21, 2013, 12:39:24 pm: We all preferred the crocodile sausages to the camel ones. The camel ones were too spicy for the kids, and I had to give up half of my crocodile one for DD in exchange for her camel one. Amy, I did have a little sweet Chilli sauce with mine :-))

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on May 22, 2013, 12:17:46 am: ES I'm so sorry, I forgot to add that when I took the meat out and strained the sauce I filled the bowl with ice cubes to get all the fat out! I do that with most sauces when the meat has a high fat content so didn't think to put it in my earlier post. I hope you like them, they were such a big (and unexpected) hit in our house but I imagine they wouldn't be to everyone's liking.

I also loved the mixed vegies and rice which I had poured some of the sauce over the next day for lunch.

Post by: EmeraldSue on May 22, 2013, 08:25:19 am: You poor thing :(
Change of plans tonight as it will only be DD and myself for dinner, and she had been asking for roasted pumpkin soup for the last couple of weeks. we are the only ones in the house that like pumpkin, so i am making the soup for her as we speak. I have roasted the veggies and the honey croutons are in the oven now. We will have the ribs tomorrow night instead.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on May 22, 2013, 11:17:51 am: Hally,v the recipe is from DD's kids Masterchef book - I"ll post the recipe for you as it's my favourite soup. I can't believe that I've never used Thermie to make soup before tonight!
DH came home and informed me that he needed dinner before his meeting- he usually eats at the meeting. He doesn't like pumpkin, so I served him up the beef ribs, and overheard him telling DD that it was a restaurant quality meal :)

Baked some honey and soya sauce chicken wings. The family's favourite wings. It's so good that I could increase the amount of chilli flakes (I'm training son #3 to eat hot food) and the wings would still "fly" out of the plate :D

Made chicken and prawns tom yam soup for extra kick on a cold night. Plus rice, our usual carbo.

Post by: Wonder on May 23, 2013, 12:32:36 am: Congratulation to DS Mich, I've always thought it would be good to have a butcher in the family. What does value add butchering cover?

Hally, this casserole is a favourite of both mine and DD and normally get to have left overs but DD's boyfriend has started eating at our house every Wednesday and I got DH to give a small dish to his Mum so no leftovers for me.

I'm loving using the PC again, I just wish I was home more so I could do all the cooking.

Also what happened to your pc? from memory you bought one when most people were buying the 5 in 1.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on May 23, 2013, 12:40:52 am: Yes I bought the electric pc, loved it, works on & off, they are happy to replace it. This was organsed last September, finally stocks are arriving at the end of this month. So once in will drive up & swap over.

Its been a long time.

I'm defrosting some lamb shank 'stew' (in other words, leftover meat & sauce from slow cooked lamb shanks), will cook up some short pasta to add to it and have it as a thick soup with bread rolls from the freezer. My brother's staying with us tonight, no idea what he'll eat he basically lives on pizzas and hamburgers! If he doesn't want our soup I'll send him to the McRestaurant around the corner.

That is assuming DH gets some more milk on the way home because I'm exhausted and refusing to go to the shops this evening. DS woke in the middle of the night last night, got into our bed (he really likes my giant pregnancy pillow) and went to sleep. I was silly enough to get out of bed to go to the toilet and there wasn't any room for me when I got back! It took me a while to transfer him back into his own bed and I'm paying for it today.

However, I didn't count on it taking me more than an hour to peel the $&@&$$ chestnuts. We had chicken skewers for dinner instead, so that we could eat at a reasonable hour. In the meantime, I have cooked the soup. I ve tasted it, but I'm not impressed. I don't think the kids will eat it.
I should have made the chestnut chocolate brownies Instead.
I still have a kilo of chestnuts in my fridge >:(
I will gladly give them away.........

Post by: Mama Fergie on May 26, 2013, 12:24:10 pm: That's disappointing Yvette but I have to be honest and say that I am not a fan of sous vide cooking. Have tried it with my GD and she doesn't like it either. Maybe better luck next time and everyone is different
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Yvette on May 26, 2013, 11:48:26 pm: Thanls MF we did everything we were supposed to do just tasted like rubber and DH said he could taste plastic, so am just about to ring Harvey Norman to see if I can get a refund

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Yvette on May 27, 2013, 01:01:00 am: Not sure Wonder as I said did everything we were supposed to do and I watched several videos etc so for $685.00 it is not worth the money and I am not going to play around with it. No more sous vide cooking for me. I can tick that off my things to buy.
DH and I went through everything several times and couldn't find anything we did wrong.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mcmich on May 27, 2013, 01:14:18 am: Glad you can get your money back Yvette. I think I will just stick to chicken sous vide in the TMX as it turned out really well.

Actually will probably marinate some chicken breast and do that for dinner tonight.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Yvette on May 27, 2013, 01:27:04 am: Yes Mich I have just saved you heaps of money haha

Also when it is full there is no way you could empty it my DH did it but was not easy as very heavy.

Post by: BeezeeBee on May 27, 2013, 03:40:20 am: Made Mamak Mee Goreng yesterday. That's a popular fried noodles sold by Indian hawkers in my hometown, Penang - the food capital of Malaysia :P

It's a delicious noodles with lots of depth in flavour. The sauce, chilli paste, tomato sauce, potatoes and eggs give it a unique character.

Chilli paste made in the TMX. Everything else done in the wok.

I've attached a photo but not sure if it will post correctly.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: BeezeeBee on May 29, 2013, 02:26:26 am: Fish curry, honey soy chicken, stir fried cabbage.

Will give chicken another go in my TM. This time with chicken thighs fillets instead of breasts. Hope no shredding *fingers crossed*

Not sure is I could stir fry the vege in my TM. Will have a look see for a recipe in the forum.

I have yet to master using my TM. Would this sequence work, guys?
1. Chop the cabbage in the TM. Remove. (Or maybe use knife since I like it in longish strips)
2. Chop garlic, and sauté in TM
3. Stir fry cabbage. Will have to read up on possible temp, speed and duration
4. Make the honey soy chicken, as per recipe and tweaks from our lovely forum
5. Cook rice in the midst of cooking all the above?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on May 29, 2013, 02:28:14 am: I've posted a recipe from the Malaysian cookbook for stir fried cabbage (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=9915.0) BZB - I love it! I'd make the honey soy chicken first and keep it warm in the thermosaver if you have one. I usually have rice in the freezer so I just zap that in the microwave.

Thanks JD.

Stupid question alert: would you just clean the TM bowl with water, as per instruction in EDC. Dry it by hand. Then keep going with the next dish? I've tried putting in a tea towel before, but I lost my nerves when I heard the blades going :D

I've got some basmati in the fridge. Might just put some in the basket whilst I cook the cabbage. Zapping it doesn't return moisture to the rice. Or put it in the veroma. See how it goes.

I made 1.5kgs of chicken, 1/2 to the olds next door & rest all gone, plus I made 8 enchilladas in case the boys wouldnt eat the butter chicken, all I can say is everything as gone & we are only 2 adults & 2 kids :o

I love that one but it's definately not authentic. ......... I read about the tandoor oven in the other thread and I want one!!!!! We absolutely love indian food. I looked at the recipe for the butter chicken on the Tandoor website and the tomato soup made me wonder how authentic it is ? What do you think ? Did you cook the chicken in the oven ? Might have to give it a try !

I woud have to say this so far is the closest I have got. Ate the butter chicken in in the Indian TM Book, tasted awful to me compared to what I am used to. I had a couple of ingredients missing, so next time I reckon with the use of the tandor oven perfect :)
Yes used my miele oven & I must say the chicken was great on the first cook :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Debbiebillg on May 29, 2013, 12:58:47 pm: Hally, I first tasted Indian food in the UK too, and I know what you mean ! Chicken Tikka is another that never tastes the same here. What ingredients were you missing ? The one in the Indian cookbook, is just a nice chicken curry, pretty popular with our kids and my parents .... but I spice it up quite a bit.

The thing I have about the condensed tomato soup is that it reminds me of how my Mum always makes spaghetti bolognaise ...... she always includes that and I really don't like it ....... it's kind of sweet when she's done, she doesn't put a lot of other things in and it's kind of like mince with tomato soup lol. So when I saw it on the list of ingredients I thought ewww noooo lol.

For a really quick thing ........ Coles now stock Monica brand indian pastes. I get the tandoori one, butter chicken (which I use in the Indian butter chicken, has quite a kick actually) and the tikka paste. I use them heaps in different dishes and find they're way better and far more concentrated than the Pataks ones. Might be useful for you for something quick to get you going before you have all the spices etc ....

I might give that butter chicken recipe a go .......... it looks really good. We have a weber q so might do the chicken in there. Will let you know how we get on. There's only a couple of things I need.

Post by: Halex on May 29, 2013, 01:10:03 pm: Indian Food is sco much better in London. I have yet to find a recipe or a restaurant here in Aus that can actually make an onion bahgee. Total dissaster every where.

The soup concerned me, but wow it really works. Will have to look up but fenugreek leaves & tandori colouring I do remember.

Thx will look at coles :)

Post by: Debbiebillg on May 29, 2013, 01:35:12 pm: Yehh I agree. My parents are over there at the moment, and they'll be doing an Indian for sure ! Never had an onion bhajee over there, but I can imagine how good it would be.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on May 29, 2013, 11:04:48 pm: Let me know how you go. The fenugreek leaves are important so if you can source them it would be good :)

Yes Astarra 1/2 a pig is a lot, even more when you order a whole one & you think you ordered 1/2 & you have to fit it in the freezer :)

Post by: Wonder on May 30, 2013, 12:32:05 am: The Fenugreek leaves make quite a difference. We live in an area which has recently seen an influx of Indians due to a nursing school and hostel, as a result we now have 2 well stocked Indian gorocery stores very close by. The spices etc are soo cheap but do come in big bags so Hally has enough Fenugreek, dried mango powder and Tandoori coluring to last a very long time coming her way!! ;D

Post by: judydawn on May 30, 2013, 01:06:17 am: Thanks for that advice Debbie. Very timely as I am hoping to visit an Indian store adjacent to the Adelaide market tomorrow to stock up on some items. With me not cooking as much nowadays I was thinking I had perhaps better not get too many packets of spices but after reading your post, I can now make my list to include everything I generally use. They are so cheap compared to those tiny supermarket bottles or packets.

Post by: Debbiebillg on May 30, 2013, 05:11:49 am: I got the fenugreek leaves and the tandoori colour. Will marinate the chicken tonight and cook it tomorrow. Can't wait !! No problem about the freezer tip ..... I even have whole cardamon pods in the freezer and they are fine too so you can freeze seeds too. When I made the kfc spice mix I just put the cardamon pods in straight from the freezer.

My neighbour always prefers to buy whole seeds wherever possible rather than ground ones as she reckons often they have dirt and all sorts in the ground ones. Not sure how true that is but I think the spices are better if you grind them yourself in the TMX of course ! I think she roasts hers before grinding them.

ES, I reckon if you read over the recipe you might be able to mash up all the pumpkin (or just use half the amount, you'll se what I mean when you read it) that way, no one else will even guess there's pumpkin in it...the wine and the bacon with the feta are a great combination and the pumpkin won't be noticed :)

Post by: Wonder on June 05, 2013, 03:19:11 am: The steak was good Hally. I used to travel extensively for work but haven't been away for over 12 months and it's the one week where both the kids have something on, so while it's great to get to spend some time with my team I would prefer to be at home.

DD has her boyfriends formal tomorrow night so I'll miss out on seeing her all dressed up but I'm sure she will send lots of photos.

Had my MIL and a BIL for dinner. BIL recently had a heart scare, so I baked salmon with a herbed crust, smashed potatoes and steamed veggies. He doesn't usually eat many veggies, but he ate it all tonight. Forgot to take a photo though, but will make it again as the kids really liked it. I also made impossible lemon pie with homemade vanilla icecream for dessert.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: jo_nz on June 07, 2013, 09:15:10 pm: Pizzas here last night too. DH told me at 3:30pm we were having people over, and didn't have a lot of food on hand, so it worked well. Made two batches of Jamberie's base and had some sauce frozen. So made 5 or 6 dinner pizzas and 3 dessert pizzas. Everyone left full but no leftovers. ;D

After we got free dessert pizzas last week (when our basketball team scores over 100 in a home game we get vouchers) I learned that The dessert pizzas from the local have choc sauce under the custard, so made mum's choc sauce too. Will have to see if something similar is already posted in recipes. Was super easy.

Post by: cookie1 on June 18, 2013, 07:37:01 am: Not really Wonder. It was a Mad Millie kit. I had bowls and pots everywhere, but it was easy but time consuming. I had great fun. The cheese needed more stretching as I only did it briefly and should have done more. I can't wait to try some other cheeses, but will start in the morning when I have the day free.

This is the dinner I made using the bocconcinni.

Have you got Scottish heritage CP?
I have to make traditional Scotch Broth for my family every couple of weeks in autumn and winter and make 8 litres each time.
They love it even the little ones. My grandparents recipe which undoubtedly came from their parents or grandparents in the islands or highlands of Scotland.

It was all eaten though and the kids seemed to think it was ok with DS commenting that he really liked it.

Yes Suzanne, I've made it a few times before. It's a simple one from her "Kitchen" recipe book. The only ingredients are butter, vegemite, spaghetti & parmesan. For the guests tonight I added bacon, mushrooms and parsley. It was delicious and everyone enjoyed it (including DD :) )

I look forward to hearing what you think... Not many people are game to try it. Nigella compares it to an Italian dish where stock is used and sometimes substituted for a stock cube. When thought of like that, it is much easier to comprehend.

Usually I add two good sized teaspoons of vegemite to melted butter in a saucepan... Then pour this over a packet of spaghetti (cooked of course) and stir. Tonight I cooked the bacon in a tbsp or two of butter, added the vegemite and chopped mushrooms. When the vegemite melted I mixed it through the spaghetti and then added a bunch of chopped parsley.
Dinner on the table in 15 minutes.
The best part was asking everyone to guess the secret ingredient :)

Oops sorry for the super long reply!

It's a tart with a pastry bottom, a layer of onions, a layer of mince and then a top layer of bechamel sauce and cheese. It was like nothing I've ever cooked before. I didn't use my TMX for the onions or mince, I cooked these in a pan.

It was delicious! My DH gave it 9.5 out of 10!

We didn't like it as the noodles were bland. I should have listened to my instinct to add seasoning that was not stated in the recipe, but I wanted to see how it turned out if I followed the exact recipe.

Fortunately I fried some back up noodles with beef skirt and kailan :)

I must say the salmon and peas were very fresh.

I also think that I can use another clay pot that I bought when we got the woodfire oven for these recipes. I'm sure the tandoori oven owners may even see some benefit to the book for ideas for dishes that are put in an oven and then left. (but I'm not an expert in that area)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on July 16, 2013, 11:34:31 pm: CP I've looked at them a few times and wondered if the food tastes different than using my Le Crueset, do you think there is a lot of difference? I love the look of the fricasse, there was a recipe on taste a few weeks ago that I was hoping to cook soon. I would be interested to compare your ingredients to the taste version.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: CreamPuff63 on July 17, 2013, 01:21:37 am: I've got LC as well and to be honest I wouldn't know as everything from both has been fine. Cooking in the clay is a different way altogether and its basically one pot cooking and a steaming method. Now that I've got a cookbook, its inspired me to make a few recipes and I'm loving it more than I did before as I previously only did roast chicken and some loaves of bread. The roast chicken was brilliant and the couple of dishes that I've done since the weekend have been scrummy. Maybe see if you can get a look at the cookbook before you buy one. For me, they are superb dishes and now I see they have a bread loaf dish which I want/need probably just want :-))

Post by: judydawn on July 17, 2013, 01:24:57 am: I had one of these years ago and I hated cleaning it, it was big and I found it took ages to clean. I agree food cooked in it tasted great but the cleaning aspect and having to soak it before use was not for me - I threw it in the bin :-))
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: CreamPuff63 on July 17, 2013, 01:30:16 am: :o oh no! I used to clean it with bicarbonate and water which was tedious. Now I just use my kitchen brush and scrubbie and water and try not to think how precious it is (cos that's what the makers kept harping on about). I bought the big one first and then the medium size, and I think if given the choice now I would buy just the medium as the recipes in the book serve 4 people.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on July 17, 2013, 01:34:47 am: Oh, another thing, it took up too much room in the cupboard and you had to be so careful with it - my Royal Doulton dinner set is precious too but I find that far easier to care for than the romertopf. A dreadful waste I know CP but what's done is done, I act impulsively like that sometimes but I must say that I have never missed it.

Oven at 225c
Slice pockets in 600 g chicken breasts
Combine 1 tbsp tomato paste and 2 tbsp red pesto. Divide among the pockets. Season with salt and pepper
Bake until chicken is cooked through, approx 15 mins
Cook spiral pasta
Slice chicken after cooling slightly
Combine pasta with 2-3 tbsp pesto. Serve with chicken and lettuce.

Enjoy! :)

Pretty sure this dish is unknown in OZ. It's a delicacy from a very unique group of folks in colonial parts of Malaysia, with a rich tradition in food, architecture and culture.

Got the recipe from a Nyonya cookbook and technique from the Malaysian TMX book.

Glad to hear that, CP. Malaysia is a fantastic place to indulge your taste bud. It is blessed with food heritage from the 3 main ethnic groups (Malays, Chinese and Indians) plus fusion of all the 3 cultures. There are lots of street food, coffee shops, hawker centres, medium range restaurants and fine dining places. One of the best cuisines in the world, in my humble opinion ;D

A Taste of Asia is pretty good. Quite a number of Malaysian dishes in there, and the book is easier to get :)

Ohhh and just thought I'd share this little story about my kids. We love brussel sprouts. My kids are really good with their veges but I've never made them eat brussel sprouts. I always did broccoli for them whenever we have brussel sprouts. Anyway, gradually the kids have been asking to try them .... then I started cooking a mix of broccoli and Brussels. And now ........... the eldest son was converted just tonight. All three (ages 4, 6 and almost 9) eat brussel sprouts. I'm amazed ! If we turn our back, they are pinching them off my plate.

It just goes to show doesn't it ........ reverse psychology !!! Kids !!

We all scraped it off. I did surprise peas with the other veggies. They were barely ok. I prefer tins but they are very heavy to carry.
To make up for the pre-fab stuff I made an apple pie crumble. I didn't have enough pastry for top and bottom so did crumble for the top. A mixture of blitzed rolled oats, a little brown sugar with almonds over the top.

What would you recommend as a very non fishy fish GF? We have had NZ blue cod that was lovely.

Hi Mich - I'm probably not the best person to ask as I like most fish - but I spoke to a friend who also doesn't like "fishy" fish and these are the ones that she recommends . .snapper, barramundi, leather jackets, whiting . . and one of my favourites, ling. Interestingly enough, my friend also likes orange roughie ???

Also suggested thawing frozen fish in salted water. If fish is fresh also wash thoroughly and soak in salted water.

Fish friend avoids include trevally and mullet.

Suggestions to mask any fishiness: Try serving with sauces, eg. a good quality mayonnaise, tartare sauce, etc.; use a lot of ginger, onion, garlic, spring onions, etc (great for steaming!),; use marinades; Fish curries - both Indian and Thai styles

Some other's opinions . .

http://www.ask.com/question/fish-that-doesn-t-taste-fishy

http://www.food.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=268761

Hope that helps a little, Mich. Good luck!

Having made the above suggestions, though, you may want to take a look at this regarding mercury levels, etc.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Mama Fergie on July 23, 2013, 01:56:18 am: I don't like 'fishy' fish either Michele and generally buy snapper either goldband, pink, red or tropical. Also red emperor and barramundi.
I only buy fresh fish from fishmonger and non imported. The fresher the fish the less 'fishy' it tastes. Hope this helps.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: maddy on July 23, 2013, 02:24:24 am: I recall reading that fresh fish should smell like the sea....if it smells fishy, it's likely to not be fresh.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: BeezeeBee on July 28, 2013, 01:18:21 pm: Cookie, I like fried carrot cake too but have not attempted making it before. A bit fiddly. The cake itself is not that hard, I think. Steam some chopped up radish. Frying it to get the right smoky flavour is probably quite tricky. My mom tried it 3-4 times and has yet to perfect it.

I don't know if it was the rabbit, the recipe, the way we cooked it or just the fact we don't like rabbit, but it was so bad we couldn't eat it.

The dog liked it though!
Sorry to say it's gone in the bin.

I'll confess our guilty secret here - we had Macca's for dinner instead :o :-))

The filling made heaps more than the 6 the recipe said so I used a sheet of puff pastry to use up the excess filling. Served with sweet chilli sauce.

Trying out a new business here in the Hills called "Provi-ToYour-Dore" ...... Amanda has posted about them in her blog:

http://www.lambsearsandhoney.com/2013/08/provi-to-your-dore-a-brilliant-south-australian-food-idea/

You can choose in advance what meals you want to cook for the week, and all of the ingredients (in their exact amounts, so there is no waste) and the recipes are delivered fresh to your door at the beginning of the week.

It is not a service that I think we would use regularly, since we cook at home most of the time and would usually have most of the ingredients on hand, but certainly for a busy family that eats out a lot, it certainly has a lot going for it!

And if it gets DH into the kitchen more ..... it cant be a bad thing at all ;) ;) ;)

If anyone sees these pots being offered at discount price please post on the shopping thread etc as they are really fantastic and well worth getting. Food tastes unbelievable and so easy to knock up a healthy meal. i have a large size and a medium size and I got my hands on a recipe book over the weekend that I'll be using. I also think that I can use another clay pot that I bought when we got the woodfire oven for these recipes. I'm sure the tandoori oven owners may even see some benefit to the book for ideas for dishes that are put in an oven and then left. (but I'm not an expert in that area)
I have my mums romertopf, but don't really remember her cooking too many meals in it CP, would love to give it a go where did you get your recipes from.

I used the pizza bianca dough, using garlic infused olive oil instead of plain. Yes, it is fluffy & base crisp in pizza oven, and only 15 mins. resting time so it's quick.

Post by: Wonder on August 21, 2013, 04:19:43 am: That's mentioned a few times in the threads I searched Judy and so is the one from the Varoma demo that Karen has mentioned.

sorry wonder....it is the EDC pizza dough, but uses 300g warm water, instead of 280g as listed in EDC.
Habit calling it pizza bianca :P
I make 4 pizzas from the 1 dough batch....and remember to dock the dough first ;) I forgot on the first one, and crust rose up and was toughing the element :P

Maddy, what's the reason for increasing the water to 300g? Just want to learn and improve my pizza making technique.

Do you use fresh yeast or 7g instant yeast?

What do you mean by dock the dough? Do you add time for another rise after forming the dough? It's not written in the recipe, but it's used for bread making.

We'll be cooking both lamb and pork on spits so need to practice a little. We had it with the roast vegetables from Alyce's new book and it was a lovely easy meal.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on August 26, 2013, 04:00:06 am: BeezeBee we are going to be cooking for close to 100 so while we love to use the tandoor it would be to difficult to manage the meat for that many. We will be using two small spits with approx 10kg's of meat on each. Also for the extended slow cooking time it's much easier to keep the charcoal at a consistent temperature.

much to my surprise everyone also loved the banoffee pie and i was only allowed to give about 1/3 away.

Do you live in Herefordshire, DJ? That's where I grew up, such a beautiful area. We were there last year and went to a market that was showcasing local produce as part of the jubilee celebrations. We had locally made pork pies and sausages which were so tasty, succulent fresh strawberries and ice cream, and also some locally made black currant liqueur, which was divine!

I went to check the reviews before making the salad but there weren't any. I was a bit disappointed with the large amount of liquid in the quinoa at the end. I didn't want to post my review in the right place as it would be the first review and if I give areas for improvement in reviews, I like to be doubly sure I've followed the recipe to the T! I might try it again tomorrow. Alyce suggests to soak the quinoa overnight, so I soaked it for about 8 hours and I think in that time, there was no more space for the liquid to be absorbed, leaving extra liquid in the TMX bowl....so next time (maybe even tomorrow) I'll try again without soaking the quinoa at all.

I looked at making the recipe but stopped short because of the need to soak overnight. Was hoping someone would review it first too. I am no quinoa expert but have never soaked it, just rinsed. And i have cooked it perfectly in the tmx. When I try this recipe, I will not soak it now and see how it turns out.

Yes Kimmy, I'd love to hear how you go. I want to try it again soon because the flavours were yummy and the ingredients are usually in the house, it was just a little too liquidy for my liking (and didn't look fluffy like the picture). Maybe I'll try it tonight.

My DH loves meatloaf, but I never make it as I have terrible memories of tasteless, steamed mince that we ate as kids. Last night I made Nonomix's tasty meatloaf, and I agree that it was really tasty. It wasn't "loafy" enough (not sure that's a real word?) for DH and he is threatening to cook me meatloaf with his "secret" ingredient. I'm not sure whether to be happy that he actually wants to cook, or be scared of his secret ingredient :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on October 03, 2013, 02:46:12 am: DJ and JD, is the liquid from the tomato puree or do you also add the gravy? and do you have quantities? We still have a freezer full of left over roast meat so looking for new easy recipes.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on October 03, 2013, 03:06:09 am: I used to make enough gravy with the original meal to ensure there was enough left over to pour over the top Wonder, didn't add the tomato puree as DJ does (sounds a good idea though). You just want enough gravy to eventually moisten everything - a cup, maybe a cup and a half in a casserole for 4? I used to add a little water to thin it down a tad as you know how firmly leftover gravy sets, not too much or it will be too watery. Perhaps this is what DJ's tomato puree does. It's been a while since I made this, DJ will remember her quantities easier than me.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: astarra on October 03, 2013, 03:17:51 am: Dinner tonight - white fish fillets in garlic sauce with boiled potatoes and kumara, and steamed veg. :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: droverjess on October 03, 2013, 07:33:03 am: Wonder, the liquid wants to come up 3/4 of the dish. Lid on until veg cooked, lid off to crisp potatoes.
I only added the salsa and tom purée, and butter beans as it was pork and DH not so keen on left over pork.
With lamb and beef usually only add carrots, onions, potatoes and sometimes swede.
However you know your families tastes and can adapt accordingly.

Or rissoles.... These will be next. I will add some apple.

Rissoles use any cold meat.

Mince in TMX.
Add some fried onion, breadcrumbs, s and p, and an egg to bind. Any herbs fresh or dries and seasoning according to meat species.

Shape into patties.
Egg and breadcrumbs, or just breadcrumbs.

Shallow fry, drain on paper.

Delicious, good luck wonder.

Roast chicken with Jamie's orange carrots, smashed potatoes, sweet potato, peas, stuffing and gravy.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: consumerate on October 05, 2013, 12:41:34 pm: For any Perth people: I highly recommend the salt and pepper crocodile at Phi Yen (cnr lake and Brisbane streets) and Lido (cnr William street and Robinson ave) in Northbridge. It is similar to salt and pepper squid but with a better texture (think firm fish/soft chicken) and gentler flavour. It doesn't taste like chicken to me, it tastes like it comes from the water. A very mild fish flavour.
Title: Re:
Post by: Itsnotartitsdinner on October 05, 2013, 12:44:22 pm: It's a hard texture to describe. White meat but quite crumbly. They were made with an Asian influence ginger lemon grass etc. We just had them with salad. Not bad but probably a little too much ginger.
Title: Re: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

We weren't really that hungry because we had grill'd for lunch. Did you know that they do gluten free buns? They tasted pretty delicious. I did make Jo's Chicken and brown rice soup for dinner though. It was very yummy and I'm looking forward to it for lunch. I also made Cyndi's gluten free bread. Both husband and I enjoyed it.

Yep, do two or more batches at a time then freeze them in lots of 6 so just pull one bag out each time I want them with dinner. :D I add carrot to them as well, so know there are a few veg in each muffin, and the girls love them!! ;D ;D Too quick and easy! :)

We did enjoy them. And DH had leftovers for lunch today, and I have another medium sized serving in the freezer!! Will definitely make again, although might plan a bit in advance so I can pre-make the wraps a little earlier in the day. The kids were going a little nutty at that time of day, and it was hard to keep them in line without burning the tortillas! ;)

Chicken kiev, chips and salad are on the menu for tonight.

Thanks
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on November 02, 2013, 10:35:39 am: I made a topping with a handful of parsley and a handful of coriander, 2 slices of multigrain bread, zest and juice of 2 limes, black pepper and a little oil whizzed on speed 5 for 5 seconds. Then baked at 180c for 12 minutes. It was cooked through but still moist - I like my salmon still quite raw in the middle, and think it would probably be cooked to my liking after 8-10 minutes
I had started the potatoes earlier, but cooked the mushrooms for 12 minutes too.

Post by: Wonder on November 03, 2013, 09:04:30 am: I made a Shane Delia recipe for slow roasted lamb which was marinated in anchovies and garlic along with a tabbouleh salad with pistachio, cracked wheat, mint and parsley. I also added some pomegranate molasses to both the lamb and the salad. It was a beautiful meal. I also made a green salad and lemon potatoes because I was sure the kids wouldn't eat the tabbouleh. I would recommend both fishes. We are now thinking we might try and get to his restaurant Maha soon.

Post by: Wonder on November 04, 2013, 09:03:23 pm: Susanne, I was really happy with the way the chicken cooked in the deep fryer but the Chios weren't so good, I think I may have overfilled the basket. We got the DeLonghi roto fry which uses only 1 litre of oil. DD isn't happy with it and prefers our old DeLonghi which had the traditional basket.

Unfortunately while waiting for me to get off a work call DS and his mate must have snuck off to McDonalds and they ate virtually no dinner >:(, this is the second time DS and his mates have done that after I've prepared a meal that I specifically thought they would eat. I'll be talking to him once the friend leaves. I was not happy and we now gave a lot of leftover fried chicken.

Post by: judydawn on November 07, 2013, 08:04:21 am: Slow cooker chicken curry from SFI Aug 2013 edition. This meal went over to Melbourne with me for my SIL but ended up coming home as he is allergic to peanuts & I had used peanut oil. I forgot all about his allergy so when DD questioned the ingredients I had to pm Trudy and ask her to send me the list of ingredients from her copy as I made it back in August for CC's visit and I couldn't remember what was in it. Sure enough, peanut oil had been specified and as I have it in the pantry I knew I would have used it. Not much point leaving it with DD as she is vegetarian.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Bonsai on November 07, 2013, 10:36:15 am: Whatever was for dinner last night made in to a lasagne. DH is a good cook but at the moment he is stressed and time poor so made what I think was chicken and beans in romesco sauce last night, then he chucked some extra veges in the leftovers and made it in to a lasagne with a blue cheese sauce.

Nicer than it sounds.

Life should return to normal after 18 November. I'm counting the days

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: maddy on November 08, 2013, 06:49:13 am: Last night I made Dutch beef Kroketten (croquettes), using a family recipe.
Was quite laborious, but tasting them took me right back to my childhood 8)
Firstly you pressure cook the beef in stock, black pepper, mustard powder, vinegar, Worcestershire, bay leaves, cloves & dried onions.....then shred, then make an onion roux, add the beef, shape, chill, crumb then deep fry!
Not a quick slap up meal, probably why I have put it off.....but I did finally get to use my croquette press, I bought from Holland....worked a charm ;)

Add your warm beef mix

(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/b17589afd79d48ee6a484010a1dcab77.jpg)

Squeeze, and presto...perfect sized croquettes

(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/7bd1aefc7fdec0e6da24afb4daffe392.jpg)

I chilled them in freezer for 1/2 hour, then cut to size, crumbed then fried.
traditionally fine bread crumbs are used

(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/934c032aa9a3653f42435b9d9a7401b3.jpg)

And I tested them with panko crumbs, which we all preferred better with extra crunch

Post by: Kimmyh on November 13, 2013, 09:18:47 am: DS should know better wonder. Although I think it's more common than we realise. Guess he has learnt his lesson now.
Chicken pinwheels, chips, asparagus and hollandaise sauce. DS6 not a fan of sauce, so washed it off his asparagus and made him eat it.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on November 13, 2013, 10:50:54 am: I would like to think he's learnt his lesson but given we got home from the movies and none of his jobs were done and DD said he had been on the xbox while we were gone I guess he hasn't! At least the movie was really good.

Having leftover meat in gravy, mash and steamed veggies

quick release

Post by: Wonder on November 17, 2013, 10:19:50 pm: I make PC risotto some of the time but DH prefers to make it in the TMX. I find it very quick in the PC and if using my smaller one it comes to pressure quickly and the wash up is nice and easy.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on November 17, 2013, 11:06:34 pm: Not sure Uni. I make the bolognese risotto in the PC and from memory that uses 250g rice and I make the EDC mushroom one in there which I think has either 250g or 300g. It's normally a meal for the 4 of us with one serve leftover.

Yep, we have more roast dinners than anything else, so easy, and know they will get gobbled up well. :)
I don't generally have leftover meat much as I cut it into meal sized lots before I freeze/cook, but if I do it is only a little bit left which just gets mixed with the leftover gravy and DH has it in a roll for his lunch the next day. :)
Onion tarts are...well...onion tarts. ;) Am making now so will post a pic in the 'what are you cooking' thread later. They are yum!!! :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on November 19, 2013, 01:27:47 am: I've never been good at cooking small pieces of meat for roasts and can't seem to get the timing right, i guess it comes from learning to cook for a family of ten!! I've always cooked the full piece of meat and then use up the leftovers for my lunches, pies etc. I'll be interested in the onion tarts.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: astarra on November 19, 2013, 01:34:32 am: LOL - I came from a family of 10 too...and that is where I learned to cook! :D

Post by: Yvette on November 19, 2013, 05:29:15 am: Wonder - Jamie said you should cook the whole roast as it has more taste it was on one of his recent shows I think saving with Jamie he said the smaller roasts don't have the same flavour.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on November 20, 2013, 12:01:04 am: Good luck Hally. We found it did take a little bit of practice to get the timing right but you'll figure it out pretty quickly. I would maybe make an extra batch of dough or make a few small ones with no topping to check the heat and time. We've also tested quite a few different base recipes so will be interested to hear what you think of their recipe.

Maddy and ES those meals look great.

We still have leftover spit roasted meat from DD's 18th birthday which we packaged into meal size portions and vacuum sealed and have been using for a quick roast on a Sunday and the meat tastes fantastic, we only have one portion left and we are all a little dissapointed to see the end of it. Not sure if it's the slightly smokey flavour or that it was part of such a large piece of great meat.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on November 20, 2013, 09:05:44 am: I will let you know how we go. I will use their recipe & 1 from here. I also have lamb kofta & tandori chicken marinating. The only problem I cant find the matches or the fire lighters, so cant get it going >:(

Leftover cashew chicken I just can't face cooking dinner on work nights. It's getting worse!
I'm the same INAID... two weeks ago I did a big cook up and froze portions for the days I'm at work (working more days for a couple of months)...it is so handy! I just heat some veggies or make a salad while dinner is reheating/defrosting. Quicker than ordering take away :)

Meatballs from here on the forum (the conversion from Nigella) freeze really well and that's what we had tonight with spaghetti. I also added some zucchini ribbons to the spaghetti to up our veg intake :)

Post by: Wonder on November 20, 2013, 09:43:06 pm: The pizza's look great Hally and DH doesn't look too bad either :-))

They really do come out fantastic in the oven. How long did you preheat it for and what was their pizza base like? How did the other food go, did you freeze it for later? Sorry too many questions.

I think I'll fire up ours tomorrow night, DS has a late basketball game so we might have time.

Yes DH isnt too bad either ;D

The best base so far was the thin & crispy base from the forum. I didnt use their recipe as I had already made 2 types & forgot about theirs.

The food is all in the fridge, will freeze some tandori chicken, tonight we will eat the lamb kofta. Dropped 1 kofta into the tandor >:(

The tandori chicken is wicked on a pizza :)

Just love the tandor, hoping to use it twice per week now I have charcoal. Of course were going to have an overload if food again :o

Bedlam you can cook so much in the tandor. It makes the best tandoori chicken, plus lots of other things :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on November 20, 2013, 11:50:48 pm: Hi Bedlam, if you are considering getting a pizza oven make sure you do a lot of research and get one that is very well insulated. We purchased one a few years ago, and while it was expensive it was useless as it didn't retain the heat for long enough. Everyone else thought the pizzas were good but I was extremely disappointed and that was what got me researching the Tandoor oven. We ended up putting the pizza oven on eBay and got basically nothing back for it. Like Hally we have been very happy with the Tandoor and just limited by time in using it.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on November 21, 2013, 09:30:01 pm: After watching Hally's progress with the Tandoor pizza's I just had to light ours and have some. No pictures but they were great. We didn't end up eating until very late because of the time it takes to come up to temperature, but it was worth it in the end. I also put a marinated chicken in the Tandoor once we finished the pizza and let it cook for about 2 hours as the oven was cooling down. The meat tastes great and DG has used it for his lunch today.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on November 21, 2013, 10:16:11 pm: We love the tandor, we had lamb koftas from the tandor last night & tandori chicken tonight. I have frozen some tandori chicken for sandwiches & pizzas. Everytime we make the chicken we both say we should have made more. It freezes very well :)

Tomorrow night we fire up again :)

It takes a good hour to heat the oven. DH has done it, but I will do it saturday so I can light it weekdays before he gets home.

We hope to use 1-2 times per week.

I totally recommend purchasing one.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on November 21, 2013, 10:21:04 pm: I rushed home from work to light ours only to be told i had to get DD to a friends place for a "burning of the books" ceremony after they all finihsed their exams yesterday and they all head off in various directions for schoolies. I did manage to light it but didn't put enough in and by the time we got back had to stock up the charcoal and wait another hour so it wasn't ready until after 8pm.

Hally, the meat does taste amazing and we have found freezes very well. The butter chicken reheats as though freshly made.
Which Tandoori chicken and lamb kofta recipe did you use?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on November 21, 2013, 10:32:38 pm: I use the recipes from their webpage. Tandori no.2.

I have also used some recioes from the book & of course any of my own marinades.

Next week I am going to try t-bones in the tandor.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Debbiebillg on November 21, 2013, 11:12:45 pm: Wonder, Halex, last time I made the butter chicken I made a double batch of the spice paste and put one lot in the fridge. It's been in the fridge about 5 or 6 weeks and it kept really well. I figured it should be ok with the vinegar in it. So we made butter chicken last night ready for dinner tonight. I prefer it made the day before it tastes even better and it made it really quick to make having the spice mix already made up.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on November 21, 2013, 11:39:05 pm: Good idea with the spice taste. Planning on butter chicken next week in the tandor. Might make up the batch today then I am ready to go :)

Oh lovely. Thanks for the info all. Does the tandoor replace your bbq?

Difficult, this weekend we would have used our bbq, but were using the tandor.

We will still cook burgers, sausages on the bbq. I also recently purchased a pan to do stir fry on the bbq & my quesadella kit.

I am trying t-bones next week in the tandor.

Entertaining more than 6 at this stage we would still use the bbq, but as we get more experienced maybe the tandor.

Last year we bought a rotisserie for the bbq, absolutely love it.

So no I dont think it does, it also depends where you live, all summer I try to keep the main meal to be cooked & eaten outside.

Wonder, whats your thoughts?
Title: Re:
Post by: Itsnotartitsdinner on November 22, 2013, 10:45:38 am: Interesting we live in Cairns so it is warm! I see there are two sizes. Which do you have? And how many does it feed?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on November 22, 2013, 10:55:01 am: We have the largest one. I have 8 skewers, you can easily get 1.5kg of chicken on a skewer, you can split a chicken in half and put it on a skewer. Cook 3 pizzas at a time, they take 5-7 mins. Theres the roasting rack too. You can feed a lot of people.

We cook up a lot at once as we use about 2 1/2 kgs of charcoal. I hate to see the charcoal burning with nothing cooking.

Tomorrow we will have pizza, then while we are eating that the 2kgs of tandori chicken & a chicken cut in half will be in the tandor. I have 2.5kg leg of lamb, not sure whether I will kebab it, butterfly it or roast it whole yet. Will make naan bread too, have only made it & eaten it straight away, but will keep it for sundays lamb, so not sure how that will go.

Post by: Wonder on November 28, 2013, 12:31:17 am: I'm very slow roasting a heap of off cut lamb chump chops which have been marinated in a Shane Delia spice mix. I'll pull the meat off this evening and we'll make souvlaki with it. Hopefully it turns out as I'm hoping.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on November 28, 2013, 01:08:11 am: I used to do that with all the flaps and bits and pieces when I bought sides of lamb many years ago Wonder, nothing as modern as souvlaki though - just shepherd's pies or extracted the meat to serve with gravy and roast vegies. I always thought of it as a 'free' meal as most people I knew just gave it to the dog or binned it as they couldn't be bothered.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on November 28, 2013, 02:10:22 am: JD I actually bought this tray (1.5kgs) of what was labelled lamb offcuts for $4 at the Woolworths DD works at thinking it would be great for soup, but when i got it home noticed it was a tray full of chump chops that were irregular thicknesses. I'm not sure if they had an apprentice butcher learning to cut or there was a problem with the saw but it's a bonus and they would have been OK to throw on the BBQ but I thought I would try this instead. I'm hoping they work and it's a real bargain dinner.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on November 28, 2013, 02:15:44 am: Great pick up then Wonder, from time to time Foodland do the same but I haven't seen any for a while. Then again my freezers are still so full that I'm not even looking at meat at the moment :-))

Judy remember when lamb was 13 cents a kilo. We used to buy sides all the time. I never wasted one bit except the fat. If you were lucky you also got the kidneys and liver. Them were the days. We used to get so sick of lamb. Now I crave it!

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: dede on December 16, 2013, 09:15:40 am: I Love my thermomix in so many ways, not only is it wonderful and whipping up a meal in no time and preparing components of meal.
It's also brilliant at keeping a family satisfied and informed, for example.......
Tonight we had a roast lamb and roast spuds and pumpkin in the oven, and in the thermomix was some veggies to steam. I am pretty good at coordinating all the individual items to all be finished cooking at the same time, so when DH come home the first thing he said was how long before tea? I only have to look at the TM timer and say 30 minutes, then DS 18 walks in and asks the same question (26 minutes) , DD 13 text me from her friends house to ask when tea would be ready (15 minutes), DS 16 walks out of his room and asks the same question (12 minutes) and of cause DD 10 walks in to ask the same question (5 minutes). Everyone is happy and tea is served exactly when I said it would be. :)

Post by: Kimmyh on December 16, 2013, 09:31:28 am: Well done Mandi. Now if only you could train them all to look at the timer themselves 😉

Tonight we tried Tenina's Soy & basil chicken noodles. Delicious and like she said, quicker than Jamie. The photo is minus the cashews. I added them to my serve later. Keeps the nut haters happy ☺️(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/16/y2abyvad.jpg)

Roast chicken with salads. Tried a new potato salad and it's very nice and worth a try. DH mentioned it was good and he doesn't like potato salad! Will be making again. Here's the link if anyone is interested http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/node/55445
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on December 18, 2013, 11:15:57 am: I was told about that potato salad recently and made it. It is very nice. The friend that told me doesn't have a thermomix and makes it in the ordinary way. It's quicker in the thermomix.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on December 18, 2013, 12:53:15 pm: I do my potato salad in a very similar way by cooking the diced potatoes with some eggs sitting on top in the steaming basket but I plunge both into cold water at the end to stop them overcooking and make the eggs easier to peel. The eggs and potatoes take about the same time to cook if you don't dice the potatoes too big.

We had lasagne, normally an easy one but today was a hassle. Both my trusty lasagne dishes were thrown out today as they have large cracks visible inside and on the outside bottom of the dishes. Used a rectangle dish only a little smaller with messy overflowing results. Need to go shopping for a new one.

Michelle, we were just discussing potato bake tonight and yours looks yummy.
I spent the day finishing my very difficult jigsaw of an exploding TARDIS in the style of Vincent Van Gogh that I got for Christmas and doing a little gardening. I had no clue what it cook for dinner and time was marching on. Thank goodness for my thermie as I whipped together a Christmas ham risotto in no time at all. Phew!

I couldn't find the sun-dried toms that I know are in my freezer so I didn't add them which I think would make a nice difference to these. Served with mash and veggies they were appriciated by my lot. :)

Post by: EmeraldSue on January 07, 2014, 10:11:21 am: Julie, your dinner looks so yummy.
I love how this forum Inspires us all to try recipes that someone else has made recently. Tonight I made a half serve of fresh corn, pancetta and chives from QFITT, and whilst it was cooking, I reheated the leftover mini soufflés in the varoma. I also panfried some mushrooms and cherry tomatoes in garlic butter, but next time I would steam them in the varoma too. I substituted some of the Christmas ham for the pancetta, and it was delicious. I will definitely make this again.
I'm reluctant to post my photos after Julie's ;)

Post by: judydawn on January 07, 2014, 11:01:08 pm: Some of the tastiest recipes are made with bits of this and that, glad your quiche turned out well CC.

I have some lovely fresh beetroot from Karen's garden - I've been through all my recipe books to see what I can do with them and there are more recipes than you can poke a stick at (or have enough beetroot to do) so I'll have to now decide what to do with them. Perhaps half quantities of risotto and relish from QFEO to start with and a juice I've done before. Thanks Karen, I love fresh produce from home gardens.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on January 07, 2014, 11:08:14 pm: Judy, fresh beetroot is our favourite here you are so lucky having them fresh from Karen's garden. We really love the beetroot salad from Tenina's merry christmas ebook, I've been subsituting the dressing with pomegranite molasses and thinks it tastes even better.

Great photos and meals everyone, I'm jealous. Not much cooking here as DH and I are both working long hours at the moment and kids have been in and out so simple quick throw together meals.

Post by: judydawn on January 07, 2014, 11:34:38 pm: It's definitely going to be salad weather here for the next week or so Wonder (hopefully not too much longer) and I do like beetroot salads too. Apart from those already mentioned, I've tagged a pizza recipe, a halwa, a Russian salad, an orangey beetroot salad and a beetroot curry - would probably need Karen's whole crop to do all those though ;D

Post by: EmeraldSue on January 08, 2014, 10:46:01 am: Mum gave me a spicy smoke rub that was too spicy for her, so I rubbed it on a couple of free range chicken chops and cooked them on the BBQ. I served it with brown rice cooked in my thermie (cooked extra and made a brown rice salad for tomorrow's BBQ), A cucumber sauce made in thermie, salads and bbq'd mushroom and home grown zucchini. The rub was really nice and i"ll keep using it. Thanks mum:)

Cucumber sauce is good for lots of things. Anywhere you would use tzatziki and in Indian cooking as well lamb, beef Fish ,burgers, falafel . It is a good quick recipe for summer whoever you want gravy.

Would love your cucumber sauce recipe :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on January 08, 2014, 09:28:02 pm: Oh dear, a recipe for the cucumber sauce?
I was going to make Tzatizi but my plain yoghurt was really runny. Instead, I chopped some parsley, a few mint leaves, and a clove of garlic in the bowl. Then added 2/3 of a cucumber and chopped on speed 5 for about 3 seconds. I then threw in a few heaped tablespoons of plain yoghurt and the same of sour cream, a few grindings of black pepper and a couple of shakes of the spice rub I used on the kid's chicken (which was milder than the one I used in ours). I then mixed it up together on speed 3 or 4 for a few seconds. Voila!

Trudy's recipe, its in the beef enchillada thread. Finally totally cracked the perfect tortilla, soft & warm. Last time were really good but some went hard, this time perfect :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 16, 2014, 12:12:32 am: This is one by Trudy Olive BZB

320g plain flour
1teaspn salt
3 tblspns olive oil
1 tspn baking powder
180g warm water
Place everything into the bowl.
Mix 10 seconds on speed 7 to combine.
Set to locked position and knead for 3 mins.
Put dough onto bread mat and rest 5-10 mins.
Divide dough into 12 pieces and roll each piece into a flat round.
Fry in an oiled hot frying pan until they start to brown. Turn them over and cook the other side.
OK to freeze.
Also great for making tortilla chips in the oven with any leftovers.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on January 16, 2014, 12:28:18 am: Hally I might have to make a quick trip to the Spanish shop and see if they have some in stock. I love home made tortilla's but always found it way to time consuming in the fry pan and ended up with a huge mess after having to roll them. It looks like from your pictures you just need to roll into a ball and the flatten in the press - is that right? Also, what was the secret to warm soft tortilla's?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on January 16, 2014, 02:02:16 am: I divided the dough into 8 but could probably do 10. Made balls, used gladwrap on each side of press & flattened, first few I rolled out, then the last 6 I just flattened again & got the perfect size. The flat grill worked perfectly, med -hot temp, less than a minute each side then straight into the tortilla warmer, perfect. I think the warmer helps too. I have been told they freeze well too.

Have fun :)

No oven on here either. Still too hot. Made KIS sticky pork noodled salad. I really like it as it is a bit different yo what we normally eat, but not a huge hit with the males, so probably won't make again.

The same thing happened to me ES, on a Friday night. Regular plumber couldn't make it and the next one couldn't make it until sat morning. Some time will have to replace the cupboards.. :(.

Is there pulled beef? I don't eat pork but it all looks so good.

I reckon you could do it with any meat Michele, so long as it is slow cooked in a reasonable amount of liquid to stop it drying out. There is a Jamie Oliver recipe somewhere on the internet for a slow cooked lamb shoulder that is cooked at low temp for 4 hours with alfoil covering it to stop it drying out, and it just fell apart like the pork did.

Found the link for the lamb:

We quite often have the shane Delia 12 hour lamb and it's fantastic and gives a similar result. We always have our pulled pork the traditional IS way in a soft roll with coleslaw.

This heat is not helping. My desire to cook is still low. Sigh.

I thought it was to be updated, but I don't think it has been.

We usually have pizza on Saturday. I was about to start the bases and was getting the tomato mix for them from the freezer, and lo and behold there was none left. :-\ :-\i was sure that there was still 2 packets in the freezer last week. I make Napolitana sauce and freeze it in serving sizes. It was too late to make it so we ended up having Red Rooster.

Basically you put thinly sliced apples (I used Bramley apples sprinkled with sugar and lemon juice) in the bottom of a pie dish and spread a vanilla sponge mixture over the top of the apples.Bake in the oven until the sponge is cooked.Its an very easy pudding to make.
You can add raisins to the apple slices if you want.

We went out for Xmas lunch with the in-laws and whilst it was nice, it wasn't Xmas dinner. So we've decided to cook our own sort of Xmas dinner. We could have picked a cooler day for it though! Judy is coming for dinner, so that makes it more special.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on January 27, 2014, 01:23:59 pm: Lovely JD :) mum would do at least 6 veg with a roast & I do too sometimes :)

Katiej, any english background?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on January 27, 2014, 06:55:43 pm: Sounds lovely Katie and Judy. 8 veggies sounded so many but when I counted we would normally have around 6 or 7.

Judy it would have been lovely having home made roast, nothing better.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Katiej on January 27, 2014, 07:35:40 pm: I think Judy had the biggest plate of food I've ever seen her eat!
It was delicious if I do say so myself. Richard cooked the turkey in the weber and he did a great job.

Hally my DH was born in England and moved here even he was 6.

Judy there were 9 vegies! It was lovely to see Judy and we had a great night.

Tandoori chicken was so easy. TM whipped up the marinade and Airfryer took care of the cooking.

All cooked then will sprinkle parmesan cheese over & bake in oven. Very happy with it considering that was all my supplies :)

Post by: Katiej on January 31, 2014, 10:05:51 am: Tonight we had spinach & ricotta gnudi with ragu di pomodoro and focaccia - all recipes from Nico Moretti's new book. He demonstrated these recipes in his class the other night. They tasted delicious at the class and I knew I wanted to try them.

My DH loved it, although he suggested we do a nudie run to burn off some of the calories. He was disappointed when I told him it was spelt gnudi and not nudie!

Katie your chicken looks delicious and so does CC,s.
H, your dinner sounds nice, but we had a BBQ tonight as it's too hot to put the oven on. I stuffed the rogue zucchini's from my garden with red onion, garlic, quinoa, corn, roasted capsicum, bacon, parsley, black pepper and fetta cheese. I tried the tip of shucking the corn in the microwave and it worked really well. Fussy DS thanked me for dinner and said that it wasn't too bad. High praise indeed!

Title: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on February 04, 2014, 12:55:00 pm: BZB I wish you'd stop posting those photos of your delicious meals in your air fryer, or I shall find myself in the shopping thread again. :-))

I made macaroni beef for the first time, although it didn't really follow the recipe. I'm trying to eat my way through the freezer so that I can defrost it, so I'm trying to use at least one thing from the freezer everyday until it looks like Gert's.
I have never cooked a dish with mince (apart from meatballs) without browning it first . I decided to try cooking the mince in the basket, so put the uncooked mince in the basket and set the machine going. I found that the sauce did indeed bubble through the mince,and the mince did cook. However, although I stirred it part way through the cooking time, the mince clumped together. I ended up tipping the mince back into the sauce and cooking it together for another 2 minutes to break up the lumps. I was just about to put the cheese sauce on top when I realised that I had forgotten the peas, so I just folded them through still frozen. I then topped it with a mixture of puréed cauliflower (from the freezer), bechamel and cheese.
I found it really filling and the kids loved it. We only ate about a third of it so have plenty of leftovers for another night.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on February 04, 2014, 09:33:49 pm: I've marinated some chicken fillets in satay sauce I had in the freezer and cooked some rice for fried rice. I'll try cooking the chicken in the airfryer.

I need to think which risotto is going to make the best arancini because I really want to try arincini in the airfryer and as we are only 3 at the moment I'll have enough left over. Hmmmm.....bolognese or mushroom arincini??

A noodle dish with pork nice and prawns then turned into spring rolls to use up the spring roll pastry. I used the wok on the BBQ a to deep fry so as not to make a mess in the kitchen.

Now I have discovered some cooked duck meat in the freezer and a hunk of cooked roast pork. Ummmmmm?

Do they bring you out in a rash Judy or just a fear of old fashioned cooking? ;D ;D ;D ;D I still cook my veggies in a pot, most of the time. I find the varoma cumbersome to wash up.
Title: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: BeezeeBee on February 07, 2014, 01:27:48 am: Cookie, love ur sense of humour :) My ds14 and ds11 take turns to wash up after dinner. Mr always-in-trouble (the middle child, of course) asks me not to cook complicated food during his week. Sometimes I have wok, pot, thermomix and now airfryer out. Hahaha.

I try to wash up as I go..but there are still lots to do after dinner.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on February 07, 2014, 02:16:33 am: Cookie, I find the TMX does most things I want and once I get the air fryer, I probably won't be using the oven much either ;) I've given away one of my stockpots but still have a couple which are now in the linen press where most of my saucepans are.
I hate using my stove top, it means I generally have to clean it and the TMX is so easier to clean. I don't have a problem with the varoma, I always cook my vegies in it and just rinse it in the sink rather than the dishwasher unless I've cooked meat in it. I'm very pedantic the way I stack my dishwasher - I like things all nice and neat which means large items generally don't go in there. I stacked DD's the other day, boy do I do it differently than her - she has 2 so doesn't need to be as neat as me to get more into it but I also think of the electricity usage as well and only run mine nowadays every 2-4 days depending on how long it takes to fill and how much cooking I've done. I just rinse the plates before adding them to the dishwasher as I never know how long it will be before I turn it on.

Maybe you should Re visit the pomegranate as the seeds are really nice with say a quinoa salad. Also nice as a juice and adds lovely colour to lots of things. Sometimes what we eat as kids take in a new flavour as adults. I used t ,hate peas but now I love them.

I am trying to think of something I won't eat but I really can't think of anything. I did have some deep fried tripe the other day which was interesting but I don't think I would order it again.

The tripe is the top one and the other is wings.

Post by: LauraTO on February 12, 2014, 01:40:16 pm: Tonight I'm having a fellow oyster-loving girlfriend over for dinner to eat several dozen raw oysters on the half shell! I just made the mignonette in the TM (the finely diced shallots with red wine vinegar). Tonight I plan to make some crushed ice/snow to put on my tray to serve the oysters on. I will also make a light salad (cauliflower with dill and apple) and probably a peach sorbet for dessert, all in the TM. I think I'm just inventing reasons to invite people over to show it off!

I'm still working my way through my freezer. I did defrost it yesterday, but I'm not buying any more meat until I've used what I've got. I had some diced beef in the freezer, so for the first time I made Chelsea's stroganoff. It is a really nice stroganoff - I can't believe I waited so long to make it.
For dessert, we had mint chocolate chip icecream using the Tastebom peppermint oil that I bought recently. I got the highest praise from. DS. He declared that it was just like shop bought icecream, but better.

Served the reduced sauce drizzled over the top and served with a simple salad.

The pork had a nice pink blush in the middle, but doesn't show up very well in the photo. So moist and tender, loved it. :)

It's called Minced beef & Sweet Potato Stew. Doesn't look very thrilling I know but it was tasty. DH really enjoyed it and there was plenty left to freeze for his work meals.

Last week I also made the Lentil Lasagne from one of the links also, and that was very well received too. Haven't a photo of that one, but both meals will be made again. :)

Judy I read some time ago that choice mag said it was cheaper to use the oven than the phillips air fryer over time. I guess that would depend on how many hours a week you use either.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: gertbysea on February 20, 2014, 11:34:01 am: I rarely use my oven as the BBQ does just about everything outside. Much cheaper to run too I reckon.

Post by: judydawn on February 20, 2014, 11:35:18 am: There are pros and cons with every purchase Gert but cooking for 1 seems such a waste of heat in a full sized oven and during heat wave conditions I refuse to turn it on. Cost versus convenience - convenience wins out this time ;)

Very good. Used red chillie, 1tsp, needed more.
Next time we decided we'd add a little stock too, and would try it with fresh coriander too.
We served it with pasta.

It is green wheat which has been through a process.

Gert
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on February 24, 2014, 08:42:34 am: Yes, as Gert said. It looked just like boiled wheat after I had cooked it. Dad always said we would have to live on boiled wheat if we were naughty. It gave the dish a nice crunch. You could do any sort of grain I think. DH suggested a mix of quinoa and freekah next time.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Itsnotartitsdinner on February 24, 2014, 09:01:31 am: Yum Cookie did you use anything to season it or just the veggies roasted gave enough flavour?

Tonight we had devil of a cookbook fried rice and wontons and spring rolls with the sweet chilli sauce I made on the weekend. Yum!

Using the pc cut down the cooking time to only 10 mins (once stabilised). Love the pc for cooking chicken on the bone. I did use the tm to puree the carrot & sweet potato mash.

Beautiful flavours and so easy and quick. Served with a bowl of tossed salad so people could help themselves. :D

Post by: BeezeeBee on March 01, 2014, 11:18:30 am: Stingrays are popular in Malaysia, Judy. They can be cooked in tangy curries, like what I've done, or grilled with chilli paste. It's a very tasty fish :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on March 01, 2014, 11:25:51 am: They obviously sell it somewhere here but once again, I've never seen it. I find your meals very interesting BZB.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: BeezeeBee on March 01, 2014, 02:17:41 pm: Yes, Cookie, stingrays are fish. The parts that are used for cooking are the wings and the cheek. The flesh is not as delicate as most fish, and yet it's not tough like chicken or beef. It is delicious when paired with chilli.

Thanks CC :)

If you have ever eaten skate then it may have been stingray,

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: BeezeeBee on March 02, 2014, 02:40:55 am: You're probably right, Gert. I would not be able to tell the difference. The fish is already cut up when I buy from the fishmonger :)

In Malaysia, it's called ikan pari (Malay language) or stingray. The stingray there has a softer texture. The ones I've bought in Perth are tougher. Still as yummy :P
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on March 02, 2014, 03:51:37 am: Today I made a recipe from the Anna Gare book 'Eat in' which is called "Semolina Gnocchi with Blue Castello & Spinach Sauce". From the taste test I had and from everyone's reactions, it was very good.

Must admit I've never eaten or used blue cheese in a sauce before so I was a little apprehensive, but it was so, so nice.

I cut back a little by using light & creamy evaporative milk in place of the 300ml cream with no consequence to flavour.

Looking forward to trying more of her recipes. :D

Not at all Judy, it just has a lovely flavour . Couldn't see any evidence of it either ;D

Cookie, def give it a try I'm sure you'll like it. I only used parmesan too instead of the pecorino as that is what I had in. Also if you aren't fussy I'd just cut the gnocchi into squares instead of using a round cutter then having to re roll and then cutting the left overs. (That's what I'll do next time).

Thanks Katie, suzanne, Bee and INAID :D

Tonight we had grilled chicken and a Thermie sauerkraut salad on a bed of baby spinach. Only thing I managed on another hot Perth day.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on March 02, 2014, 08:34:10 pm: JulieO, I found the recipe online and we have some blue cheese to use up so thought I might try this. Did you cook the gnocchi in the TMX?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on March 02, 2014, 09:51:27 pm: Wonder, no I didn't, did on the stove top. It's quite a heavy mix so think it may be too heavy for the TM ??? Not sure, but it didn't take long on the stove top though and you can see what you are doing and when it's ready IYKWIM.

Cornish and Katj, thankyou for your comments. Katj there are some lovely, family type recipes in the book that I will be making in the coming weeks. I recommend it (via Hally). :D

Made Nacho Bake from 'Eat in' (Anna Gare). Made it earlier today I didn't think it was very tasty having a taste test, but letting it sit for even just a couple of hours has increased the flavour. I've made a note to myself for next time to make it the day before, put it in the baking dish, cover and refrigerate until the following day where I can then top with the nachos and cheese then bake.
Great when you have a few mouths to feed.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on March 08, 2014, 09:57:48 pm: Dinner last night was another recipe from 'Eat in' (Anna Gare). This one is "Zucchini, feta & prosciutto linguine". Didn't change anything from the recipe except instead of just adding the uncooked prosciutto to the mix, I cooked it in the dry wok until crisp before cooking the rest of the ingredients. I then broke it up and added through at the end. I found there was enough oil that came out of the prosciutto that I didn't need to add any extra for cooking the remainder of the ingredients.

Such lovely flavours again in this meal, really enjoyed it. :)

Also made some of my buttered rosemary rolls that we really like. :D http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=6402.0

Next time I think I'll just make the meat mixture in a frypan as I'm really not a fan of the texture of mince cooked in the TMX.

At Mombasa today so it will need to be something easy tonight as I'm sure we will be tired.

Next time I would serve with goat's cheese or feta as I think it will go with the food better. They were sort of fiddly but the thermomix made it so much easier.

Post by: judydawn on March 13, 2014, 12:15:05 am: I know what you mean Laura, we still seem to surprise ourselves when we do something which isn't following a recipe. You are right, it's prawns not shrimps here in Aussie land. Shrimps to us are tiny little tasteless things in cans or what was found on top of pizzas years ago. We have learnt to live with all things Americanised though so when we see the word shrimp, in our heads we replace it with prawns.

Post by: astarra on March 14, 2014, 10:55:12 am: Was meant to be a beef roast dinner, but the meat was not cooked through properly. :-\ so thankfully dh had his brain switched on & suggest that we cut it into steaks and cook in the sandwich press. 8)
worked well so we had...
steaks, potatoes, vegetables, and gravy. :D

the meat must have been still frozen in the center. :-[

I wasn't sure if I would like raw scallop but I did. We then had a be to box each and they were amazing. Even though we were bloated we decided we had to have sweets. They were wow!! Part of DD's was some soy sauce icecream. It was lovely.

Unfortunately, Nobu is out of my league. I like Yuki and Kanta.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: BeezeeBee on March 29, 2014, 11:46:32 am: Was prepping for dinner when the power went off at 6pm. Oh no! I was going to start cooking rice in TM and frying fish in Airfryer. Fish got cancelled and a quick google produced method for stovetop rice.

Cooked sesame oil chicken and sambal kangkung in the wok. That was per original plan but had to be done by candlelight.

Boys thought it was cool. They were doing homework by candlelight. Just like the olden days.

Rice turned out well. DS11 said it tasted better than TM rice. Hahaha :)

Dh had pasta which was delicious, I had risotto which was OK ( we had risotto last week cooked in TM which was better) & cp had the rump steak which was tough to cut & chewy. I complained about the steak, it was $28.50, so it wasnt a kids meal, they refunded the meal but it was such a let down.

I am a huge Jamie fan >:(

I've eaten at Jamie's here in Perth 3 times. The first 2 were really good. The last time we were very disappointed and DD contacted them about it. They offered us a free lunch. We didn't take it as we weren't after a free meal. Just wanted to point out to them that the food and especially the service was very poor. Haven't been back since.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: BeezeeBee on April 20, 2014, 01:07:16 am: I tried Jamie's last month. Can't call it fast food, as it was very slow getting a table, getting the food and getting to pay 😳

The food was a mix of hits and misses. I love the olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar they served for bread. Tried to google for the brand of vinegar but couldn't find it.

Raspberry Frangipane was lovely. Something I've never tasted before.

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/20/e9evyty2.jpg)

But the standout star for me was the magnificent tartare sauce. Yummmm 😋😋

Leftovers from last night.

Same here. :P

I'm doing something wrong if we don't have leftovers at least 3 times a week :)

Fish and chips tonight.

Post by: cookie1 on April 24, 2014, 12:40:53 pm: We had fish, chips and veggies tonight. The friends that came over this morning brought us 3 big silver bream. They turned their pool into a fish tank and wade in and get fish when they want to eat them. They were delicious.

I googled muak. So nice, I must use it sometimes.

😄😃😄😃

Wish I have a friend like yours, Cookie. Fresh fish....yum! How did you make the fried fish?

Made bolognese sauce for spag bol. Didn't use my usual Le Creuset as I made a double batch to put more into freezer. Cooked the sauce in a seldom-used pot....and burnt my minced beef 😢 Left it a tad too long as it didn't look caramelised. Turned out bitter :( :(

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on April 26, 2014, 10:32:50 am: BZB about 42 years ago I cooked some fish and DH said I did it wrong, hence he cooks all the fish now. ( fresh fish anyway). He just coated it with flour and cooked it in a drop of oil at a fairly high temperature.

It's pizza for us tonight. I did the dough while watching my footy team in an exciting finish, they lost. I'm sure Gert could hear me yelling in Cairns.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on April 26, 2014, 11:38:50 am: Mum used to cook it like that most times cookie but as she worked in a fish and chip shop, fish and chips were her specialty. Dad built a boat and Mum was just the best at filleting and cooking the fish. I love fish that has just been floured and fried.
Title: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Kimmyh on April 26, 2014, 12:41:00 pm: DH cooks all the fresh fish in our house too cookie. He lightly coats it in rice flour.
Roast chicken tonight. Basic meals lately. Hamburgers last night, schnitzels and sausages the nights before.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: BeezeeBee on April 26, 2014, 01:04:39 pm: That's a brilliant idea, Cookie. Get something wrong and they take over 😝 Unfortunately it hasn't worked on my DH. I've gotten so many things wrong but he won't step into the kitchen 😁😆

Autumn rain outside. But we're all warm and cosy after our steamboat dinner 😊 Bought some wagyu beef, fish cakes and yellow noodles. Marinated chicken thigh in soya sauce, dark soya sauce, oyster sauce and white pepper. Made stock from 6 chicken frames, and we were all set 😄

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: BeezeeBee on April 26, 2014, 01:22:07 pm: Judy, I put the steamboat pot in the centre. Brought the stock to a boil, and added a bit of everything into the stock except for noodles. The beef cooked very fast so DH and I hung on to the beef with tongs. As soon as they were cooked, we dished out for the boys.

The main idea is communal eating. Everyone scoops out food into their bowls. We finish off with noodles with the delicious soup at the end. Chillies on the side for those who want some heat.

Very fun, and comforting 😃

I always add veg so not totally authentic but all Trevor needs to cook is the spaghetti and not worry about veg. Trevor makes the sauce so I only have to open a jar but we know exactly what goodies are in it.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on April 28, 2014, 03:18:09 am: It sounds as if the TMX is going to be a great help for you Penny, it won't grate per se but you can chop the carrot and zucchini into fine pieces. Go carefully though or you'll have mashed vegies. It's trial and error and we all make errors when we are first starting off.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on May 15, 2014, 11:06:29 am: Generally speaking penny, you use 500mls water for 30 minutes steaming time. I tend to use more though 600-800mls and I usually start off with boiling water to save time. I use speed 3 or 4 depending on how many vegies there are. It really is trial and error, keep a note each time you steam vegies so that you know what to do next time.
Here's (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=12277.0;prev_next=next) a list from Full Steam Ahead posted a while back, use it as a guide only as some times are too much I think.

I made my 1st Main meal tonight, johnro's Gourmet Beef Casserole from October 9th 2010. The flavor was absolutely delicious but the meat was no where near tender enough for me. I will be using a different cut of meat in future.

Can you please tell me how much water I need when I cook potatoes in the Steamer basket and how long and what temperature to cook them for, and how long for veg in the Veroma.
many thanks

Potatoes, 800mls of boiling water, veroma temp, speed 3, 23 mins works well for me :)
Veg are different times.

Hally I have recently been asking DH to do things for me if dinner is a last minute thing. He doesn't seem to mind which is a big help. He is a fantastic cook as he retired 12 months before me and did all the evening meals. If he is busy then I do it all, but sometimes I seem to have 2 or 3 last minute things and he is a big help.
The only bad thing when he cooks is that he seems to use every pot and pan and the floor is a mess. But he is a great helper. ;D ;D

Hahaha Cookie. DH can cook awesome fried rice and delicious fried eggs. When I'm in a panic, he can stir fry vege too. He hates cooking though.

Yesterday, it was taking me forever to prepare all the bits and pieces for the dish even though I started prep 3 hours in advance! Had to ask for help or we would be having dinner late. Very late. 😁😁

Thought he would just plonk the topping on the noodles. He took me by surprise instead. Told me later that he was worried I would growl at him if the noodles were not pretty. 😜😝😄

Post by: Katiej on June 09, 2014, 10:11:28 am: Finally got around to using the Breville Sous Vide we bought.

I did 4 free range chicken breasts that I marinaded in some garlic, chilli, soy and oyster sauce and then vac-packed. Cooked them for about 3 1/2 hours. They were beautiful - the chicken was soft, moist and really delicious. I seared them off in a hot pan after taking them from the sous vide, but I'm sure they would have been delicious without this step. Served them with some fried rice.

DH is pleased and looking forward to trying steak next weekend.

Post by: mcmich on June 16, 2014, 06:57:53 am: Wow, Hally - that's such a great idea to incorporate with the soccer. Great experience for CP too.
Will be so interested in how the chicken xim xim turns out. I'm off to google it. :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Halex on June 16, 2014, 07:02:27 am: I am having some for lunch, very nice. Yes cp,loves soccer & it is a good way to get us all involved. We are a bit behind, the xim xim is our brazilian dish (tomorrows dinner )the chicken was our italian, we are having an english roast tonight, so a roast covers England & Aus. It is making it all much more fun. By the weekend I should be more organised and eat food/menu plan the dishes for the correct match days.

The idea was to cook the dish for the team we supoort on that day :)

I was going to make the sausage and chick pea casserole from this forum, but DS was a little fragile after getting a slight concussion at lunchtime today so I cooked his favourite meal - pasta carbonara.

The treat for me is the dessert DH picked up from our local bakery which is looking at me longingly from the bench (or maybe the other way round :P) Our bakery makes the best vanilla slice with passionfruit icing
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on June 19, 2014, 12:23:38 pm: Hope DS is OK Sue. Enjoy your vanilla slice.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on June 20, 2014, 12:27:50 pm: Poor DS. I do hope his favourite meal helped his recovery.

We had vegie soup with rye bread, Honey Chicken in the AF, with veggies and I had homemade yoghurt for dessert. The others had ice cream.

We have german stroganoff meatballs on the menu & an interesting costa rican chicken dish. A paella & a french onion soup. It will be even more fun as the groups get smaller :).

Post by: Katiej on June 22, 2014, 10:42:53 am: That looks nice Judy.

Tonight we had steak cooked in the sous vide. I put it on just before I went to bed last night, so it cooked for about 20 hours. It was perfectly soft and moist and beautifully pink. I bought a scotch fillet that was around a kg and already marinated and vac-packed. Both DH and I thought the marinade took over and we couldn't really taste the steak. Next time I won't use steak that's been marinated.
Still enjoying experimenting with the sous vide.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on June 22, 2014, 11:29:36 am: Thanks Katie.

I think marinating your own meat would be much better, you don't really know what they've used. Nice to know the beef was cooked to perfection.

Post by: EmeraldSue on June 23, 2014, 12:23:22 pm: We had risotto too. However, it was a roundabout journey.
Yesterday I made a very runny, thin cream of celery soup for DH. He wasn't very impressed with it as a soup, and I still had about 1 litre left and was wondering what to do with it as I hate wasting food. He suggested that it would made a good base for a risotto, so tonight I used the soup as the liquid in a garlic prawn and fish risotto. It was a good suggestion as the risotto was delicious.

Sometimes, the most simple of meals is the tastiest Cookie.

We have days like that Bonsai, you went to more trouble than I usually do though ;D I hope your DH's rehab goes well and he is up and about very soon.

I had to go from the nursing home to DD's for my GD's concert tonight so no time to eat here. They didn't either so we ended up buying KFC (shock, horror - I can't remember when I last did that) at 8.30 on the way back to their place.

About 40 years ago a man I worked with had a knee operation. As he was leaving the hospital he collapsed and died. He'd had a clot and it had moved. Nasty. If I ever have to be up and moving after an op I will try and remember him.

I was at Ikea today so meatballs were on my mind. I bought some tarragon and chicken mince from Saskia Beer's stall at the market on the weekend, so I turned it into meatballs which I baked in the oven. I wanted a garlicky sauce to go with it, so I searched the forum and came up with Fafallina's creamy zucchini sauce recipe. I used a couple of cloves of my smoked garlic and it was delicious.

Post by: djinni373 on July 11, 2014, 03:35:19 am: I made a huge lasagne for dinner last night with 1.5 kg lean mince, 1.35 kg diced tomatoes, 3 carrots, 3 zucchini, onion, celery, bit of kessler, garlic, red wine, 1.5 packs lasagne sheets, 250 g parmesan, double bechemel sauce and a few other bits n pieces including a very generous pinch of Chookies quatre espice. Could barely lift the dish :-))

I had a piece about the size of the palm of my hand and DD(19), DS(20) and DS(16) had eaten the rest by breakfast this morning :o Poor DH missed out. It was an awfully good lasagne ;D

This is the older DS and DD sorting out some technical issues over a midnight “snack”. Their dinner portions were larger than these yet they are all skinny as. ???

I've not used packet food in so long that I feel almost sick at the thought of eating them, but equally I don't like to waste perfectly good food. I've also found a burrito kit....might be another meal for this week I think.

We had some of the Bruny Island cheese for nibbles and also the marinated sardines. Both were delicious. We chose the cheese called Jack's Dad as it was described as a pongy cheese and it certainly was. DH was complaining that something in the fridge was really off. He eventually tried the cheese and really liked it.
The sardines are from WA and are very nice.

Love it ES my DD NEVER had an interest in cooking at all. Her first lovely husband used to ask me for cooking help all the time. Still does in fact even though he has remarried. Now at age ummmmmm 47 she is an amazing cook with her Thermomix. Her now DH knows everything about everything and has no need of my advice. LOL!

It kind of "sous vides" the steak in a snap lock back with oil and thyme for about 45 minutes in the TMX, and then you sear off the outside on a hot grill.

It was the best steak I have ever eaten 8) Beautifully cooked all the way through and still a bit pink, with a lovely char=grilled outside.

What piece of meat did you use and just one zip lock bag or double?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on July 16, 2014, 11:42:49 am: You could vacuum seal the meat couldn't you?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: KarenH on July 16, 2014, 11:52:12 am: I actually did 2 steaks at once (each in a separate bag) yesterday, and kept one in the fridge in the bag for tonight. I don't have a vacuum sealer, so I just used one snap lock bag (not double) and used a straw in the corner to suck out all the air before sealing it. One was a scotch fillet and one was a sirloin steak. They were both gorgeous. It made a quick and easy meal for tonight to just grab the already cooked steak out of the fridge, leave it at room temp for 20-30 mins while I prepared some veggies, and then just seared it off for a few minutes. I was lazy and couldn't be bothered doing a sauce, but you could do a quick sauce while doing the veggies. I actually found the steak delicious without a sauce.

I wouldn't go to the effort of sous vide-ing just one steak at a time, so I did 2 and saved one for another night.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: gertbysea on July 16, 2014, 12:01:46 pm: Brilliant Karen. I have a sirloin roast in the freezer . I am gunna. Get the hack saw and cut it up. Was for visitors who are no shows.

Clever using the straw. I never use a sauce on good meat.

Love that you gave it a go. And love that you made two.

I coated the tenderloins in egg then Italian breadcrumb mix, quickly browned in a pan on the stove top. Poured some passata into my a/f metal dish, placed the 4 pieces of chicken on an angle on top of the passata, topped with some more then sprinkled with parmesan cheese BZB. Preheated a/f to 180^o, placed the dish in the wire basket and cooked for 7 minutes.

Thanks Judy. What do you mean by placing chicken on an angle?

Post by: judydawn on July 16, 2014, 02:29:43 pm: That looks delicious Cookie.

BZB, if you have the little metal dish with the handle (made for the Viva a/f model) 4 tenderloins won't fit side by side in there so I sort of overlapped them on their side into the passata before topping with a little more sauce and sprinklIng with the cheese.

Tonight we had spaghetti pie for dinner. Not a Thermomix recipe, but I'm sure it could be converted. My Thermie was busy, so I made it on the stove top. DH loved it, went back for seconds and said we have to have it again.

So I made a big pot of vege soup, used Dulse flakes and herbs and created , I thought, a lovely flavour with no extras. So DD1 comes home and says she feels like scrambled eggs!
We have a niece/cousin's wedding in August and all trying to lose a few! So nice healthy vege soup won't go astray and hence no "fun" cooking coming from my part of the world.

This was really ice so I thought I would pop the link to the recipe in. I should have made it in a smaller dish, and I forgot to put the tomatoes on!

I also had a small amount of cheesy bechamel which I added to DH's bacon and onion fry up to make a couple of pies. I used Kimmy!s quick quiche pastry for the pies as it makes just the right amount of pastry for 4 pies in my piemaker. Dessert is fruit salad and yoghurt

DD requested a potato pie for dinner, so I went to our local fabulous bakery only to discover that they'd sent them all to their other store across town. Plan B swung into action, and with the help of Kimmy's quiche pastry and my pressure cooker I made the pie from scratch. She also requested a chocolate cake, so I tried a chocolate chia cake from this website. http://www.glutenfreegrainfree.com.au/gluten-free-chocolate-chia-cake/ (http://www.glutenfreegrainfree.com.au/gluten-free-chocolate-chia-cake/)

From what I know it has only just gone on sale in SA. I was also told by the person I spoke to in SA that TMX Australia will be selling it down the track.

Post by: EmeraldSue on September 13, 2014, 12:41:49 pm: Kimmy, we love roast pork and pink ladies are my favourite apples.
Michelle, we had lentil bolognaise earlier this week, and my family enjoyed it.
Tonight I'm making Tenina's tandoori chicken salad, as we have a friend over to watch Port beat Freo. Dessert is hokey pokey icecream.
CC, I didn't have a recipe for the potato pie, but I'll try and remember what I did. I made the pastry, the filling and the mash earlier in the day and assembled it just before dinner when all the ingredients were cold. I used Kimmy,s quiche pastry.http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=11982.0 (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=11982.0), wrapped it in glad wrap and popped it in the fridge. I made the pie filling in my pressure cooker, using about 700g of round steak. I browned it, and then sautéed onion, celery, garlic and carrots with some bacon. I added a tin of tomatoes and a couple of cubes of umami paste, and cooked it for a while. Then added the beef back with some fresh herbs and some more chopped carrot, chicken stock powder and enough water to just cover, bought it to pressure and cooked it for 30 min. When it was cooked, I mixed some of the liquid with a tablespoon of cornflour and added it back in to thicken it, and left it to cool. I cooked 3 large potatoes in the microwave and put them through my ricer and mixed with some butter and warm milk to make a stiff mash. When it was time to cook the pie, I rolled out the pastry, added the filling and then topped with the mash and grated some Parmesan over the top, put it in a moderate oven and cooked for 35-40 minutes.

Nope.....wouldn't try it, so only made it for me. They had their fish pan fried with salad.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on September 28, 2014, 11:20:44 pm: No BB, it won't brown. There are Beef Rendang recipes around for the Thermomix though.

This (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4753.0) one on the forum
There's one in the Asian book and also in the EDC.

There's also this (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=12739.0) one on the forum from MF, a non-TMX version.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: bluebear_74 on September 30, 2014, 12:50:27 am: Thanks for the recipe suggestion JD and Gert. Tenina's chicken/beef rending looks good! I have it bookmarked for future. The packet rendang turned out watery (is it because the MC hole isn't big enough and steam gets trapped inside and dips back down?). I wonder if I'm doing something wrong because every curry I've attempted has turned out watery (though one did thicken afterwards and another I ended up reducing on the stove).

Back on topic. I'm making a low fat Mac and Cheese (http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/2549/low+fat+macaroni+cheese) for dinner because I haven't been shopping.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on September 30, 2014, 02:52:48 am: The TMX does generally use less water than stove top cooking bluebear, for the very reason you stated. With such a small hole, evaporation is much less than with saucepans and frying pans. You will soon find yourself steering away from packet mixes and making your recipes from scratch.

Post by: gertbysea on November 08, 2014, 04:48:37 am: This was our dinner.

(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/11/07/dabe10283c15f52ca9b3107d6a628195.jpg)

Normally I would never buy a stuffed chicken but Cole's was practically giving this Macro "organic " bird away. Normally I would give the stuffing a miss and feed it gradually to the dog but I spotted "bits" in it And on closer inspection I found BACON. And a mystery while crunchy bit which could have been unripe pears but no apricot as advertised. Not too fake a flavour so decided to chance it. Not good but not bad. At least it held together and was not slop. The chicken I seasoned with home dried chilli, pepper with a dash of truffle salt.

The salad is my TM made chilli, mango and lime dressing over TM made ricotta, and greens from my garden which have survived for a few months. Have no idea what some are but I was assured they are edible. The rest came from my fridge and edamame from the freezer..

My first Mango of the season was used plus a whole long red chilli from a friend. Lime from the guy who mows my lawn. He steals them from others.

Absolutely delicious and the chook cooked on the BBQ while I floated in the pool reading my Kindle. Summer is here.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: gertbysea on November 08, 2014, 04:51:19 am: I think I saw some sultanas in the stuffing as well. Not sure.

Built another "Plench" (planter / bench combo) today with MrsRC2B before hitting the books tomorrow! I have a couple of tests I need to prep for!!!!!

Thermie has been busy this week with all sorts of great creations not least of all a simple but fantastic coleslaw. Much smugness was had at the finished coleslaw when I saw the price of it in the local IGA per kg. And I'm certain ours would have been better too!

Hmm mango........ Love mango!

Post by: judydawn on November 08, 2014, 08:30:56 am: Nice meals Hally & Gert, great presentation Gert.

I had a tiny bit of fresh corn, onion and diced ham leftover from my pizza making this morning so I fried them off in my small frying pan, added a small tomato, then when the liquid had reduced, added 2 beaten eggs. Voila, a very tasty omelette (or do they call it frittata these days ;))

Post by: Wonder on November 12, 2014, 11:21:00 pm: We'll be having a bit of this and that tonight. DS will be late from school with a few of his mates in tow, and then we have to head back to the school for a film night showcasing the short films the boys have all made with the theme of 'paying it forward'. The boys are all quite excited about it so looking forward to seeing what they have been up to. I made some of TRTLMT pizza pops this morning and have put them in the fridge ready to take out and cook when the boys get here. Hoping that 3 teenage boys will enjoy them as a different take on pizza for dinner.

Woops, just realised the dough should have made 32 and I only made 19 - i guess they will be big pops!

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: obbie on November 26, 2014, 08:14:57 pm: great Bedlam, more for you. :)

wish our kids would eat more of what we eat.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on November 26, 2014, 10:06:45 pm: Uni that pasta looks great. What type of sauce is it?

Bedlam, I've introduced a lot more lentils into my dishes and both DS and DD have decided they really like them and actually ask for the pasta bake which includes them. DD has found a love of homemade baked beans which I'm really surprised about. I can't get them to eat the cauliflower rice but they don't eat cauliflower so I wouldn't expect them to but I'm sure one day they will.

Obbie, I don't give my kids the choice, I'll cook meals that we all enjoy and add a few extra ingedients that they can pick out if they really want to but otherwise they have cereal for dinner or make their own. DS eats quite a lot of cereal ;D but I haven't seen DD have cereal for dinner for a long time. Every now and again they both decide to team up and make their own dinner (rarely) fi they really don't like something, and they make mash potato with a can of corn kernels, a tin of tuna, a couple of handfuls of peas and cheese all mixed together - quick and easy for them to make on their own and it's been a favourite since they were both in kindergarten.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Loving the sound of your meals Bedlam. Nothing wrong with hippy. :D When we were away, we went to Mullumbimby, just beautiful, what I think a country town should be - wide street with a division strip down the centre of the road and a war memorial. Not as touristy as Byron and a bit more main stream than Nimbin.

Tasted good but it looked terrible and was a bit like eating savoury porridge. DD who is always disappointed when we have porridge for tea wasn't in the room when we were commenting on it being overcooked mush ate it without a comment and then at the end said how nice it was ;D

I am hoping to try different recipes this summer.

We ended up having 4 extra 19 year old boys for dinner after DD's friends played golf with DH and DS. I had made a Vienna loaf, potato salad from the festive cookbook, beetroot salad from Teninnas xmas book from last year, grilled chicken which had been marinated in tikka paste mixed with some yoghurt, grilled lamb cutlets, sausages and then the apple cake from the TM5 cookbook and custard. All cleaned up now and they've all gone out clubbing!!

I didn't know they were all staying for dinner until I dropped them at golf at around 3 so I had to think quick with what we already had on hand. Fortunately I had marinated extra chicken ternderloins (throw out special at Aldi in the morning) as I thought we could have them for lunch during the week and had made the bread to use for my lunches, I had a stash of lamb cutlets and a packet of sausages in the freezer which defrosted well when left in a sink of cold water for 30 mins or so. The salads were the same and were all ingredients we already had to hand. Once they had all left and everything was cleaned up I was saying to DH how hard it would be to have that many kids to cook for everyday, I love doing it every now and again but wouldn't want to do it all the time.

CC - the custard was the good old packet one ;D have given up trying to convert them now and as I don't really eat it I figure it's a battle not worth fighting over.

Post by: judydawn on November 30, 2014, 10:54:20 pm: Your DS's mates will think you're a super cook Wonder.

Talking about custard, Jo was saying the other night they had a power failure halfway through her making a trifle. The custard had to be made on the stove top, the first lot was a disaster and the second lot only just passed the test but taste wise did not :D :D Just shows how much we rely on basic, simple things like custard and forget how it's done after years of just throwing everything into the Thermomix.

Post by: mcmich on December 01, 2014, 08:28:05 am: Rice paper rolls - I used cos lettuce cabbage, carrot, cucumber, snow peas, marinated tofu and sesame seeds.
It's really nice with avocado and peanuts but I'm trying to lighten up on the fats. Meat eaters could use chicken, pork or prawns.

Post by: EmeraldSue on December 01, 2014, 11:31:13 am: I love rice paper rolls :)
I needed a quick dinner tonight as we have been away for a long weekend and I was tired after the drive. Frozen chicken was quickly defrosted and I made basil chicken served with cooked rice that was also in the freezer.

Post by: Halex on December 05, 2014, 04:20:34 am: I am on a bit of a "Bollywood Roll" at the moment, have to stop as my freezers will all be full of cooked food again. As it is now getting very busy with little time to cook I am quite happy to have some freezer meals.

We are having this tonight, we wont be home until after 6pm, so I prepared it this morning so I can put it in the oven for 20 mins or so when we come home, the chicken and sauce and rice are all cooked.

The topping is actually cashew nuts and finely sliced onions just sautéed off, next stage to drizzle with ghee and put in the oven. Rice, chicken, coriander, mint, tomatoes and indian spices.

Hahahahahha that was exactly my thought when I was introduced to them, spookily enough it was at the dinner party that the host sat there as cool as Christmas and drank wine when we were having risotto....... And then I learnt of the thing called Thermomix.

Ps Bugs ROCK!

Judy, the burgers were a big hit with DH, I put the meat patties and caramelised onions in one dish and all other fillings on a plate, so he could assemble his own.....he was in heaven.

Post by: obbie on January 03, 2015, 07:38:38 am: Rotorchef, yes , love our seafood up here. we eat much. :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on January 03, 2015, 10:25:00 am: We like seafood too and should eat it more often, although we did have Panko crumbed silver whiting for dinner last night. Tonight I was at a bit of a loss of what to have for dinner as it's been so hot here and my motivation was low. I had some lovely chicken thighs fillets from our local farmers market in the freezer, so I made a stuffing in my Thermie. I mixed together some parsley and basil from the garden with the last bread roll, spring onion, provolone and Parmesan cheeses and an egg. I then flattened the thigh fillets and rolled them around the stuffing and encased them in bacon. I cooked them on the BBQ with some mushrooms and white zucchini and served them with salad. DD has asked me to make it again :)

I asked DH what he wanted me to cook him as a thank you dinner for looking after me after my surgery and he choose meatloaf (he loves meatloaf!). He said it was delicious and he's very happy there's lots of left overs stashed in the freezer for future lunches.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Kimmyh on January 04, 2015, 10:50:30 am: Your doing well to be back cooking already Katie. That meatloaf is delicious.

Today I slow cooked some beef in the oven using Karen's pulled pork marinade. We had it with coleslaw in homemade tortillas. DH has become quite the tortilla maker. He can get 16 cooked in under half an hour! Makes life easier for me. (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/04/17221814adf7f06fd13c28f7680b1316.jpg)

I have found Bantings easy to follow, particularly for my DH. They have a traffic light list, green eat all you like, orange restricted and red none at all.
My DH has never needed to watch his weight so finds it difficult to understand.
My DD's have list around 2 kg each in the first week. I don't even think they are overweight. They were frightened they would heap it on because of the fat content.

Post by: Kimmyh on January 06, 2015, 09:06:23 am: Nice salad cookie. Noodles look good too Katie.
Not sure wonder as dad supplies me with meat at the right price and unlabelled. Will find out. The bits that weren't covered in marinade did dry out a bit. We removed some of the sauce and shredded the meat in the rest of the sauce to keep moist. Think it would have been dry without it.
Judy it's funny how hubbies take on some things. DH will happily cook a bbq, fry some steak, flip pancakes, but not cook anything else. Comes in handy though.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Bedlam on January 06, 2015, 12:32:23 pm: I had AF salmon tonight, amazing so moist in the middle and crispy on the outside. Took it out of the freezer put it in the AF 20 min 200C. Couldn't be easier or more delicious.
Have I told you how much I love my AF.
Must get back into photo taking.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Bedlam on January 06, 2015, 02:20:15 pm: No idea Judy, but I saw on the infomercials that to cook from frozen just add a few minutes cooking time. This was any meat. It is very convenient to grab something from the freezer and have it cooked and on the table 20 minutes later. I cooked DH a thin marinated frozen steak after the salmon about 8 minutes 180, he said that was good too.

I minced some frozen lamb pieces on Sp7 for 7 seconds and it chopped it so fine that one more second and it would have been powder. It was hot, I was tired, so I gave up and had a bowl of cereal.

We just had home made hamburgers with the lot and some Mango Fluff for dessert. 1st time I made it, don't know what took me so long to try it, so quick and simple. Both DH and I loved it, only made 1/2 quantity.

Katie, what about you, what did you think to the meatza? I wasn't that impressed, obvious but a bit meaty for me.
Kyton, your meal looks like a celebration, yum.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Katiej on January 16, 2015, 11:33:52 pm: I liked it Denise, but I didn't love it as much as Richard did. Richard loves things like meatballs, meatloaf etc so I knew he'd love meatza.

It was very meaty. We probably eat more meat than you Denise, as I know you eat vegetarian quite a bit. I'd happily eat it again.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Post by: Katiej on January 18, 2015, 09:37:17 am: Yum Kimmy, the trifles look great.

I didn't really use a recipe for the pies - I cooked onion, mushrooms and diced chicken in a frypan, then made a sauce using Uni's S.O.S. mix. I added some baby spinach right at the end. The pastry I used the quantities of ingredients from a Paul Hollywood recipe, but I didn't use his method - I just whizzed it together in Thermie.

Cut squares into bread, almost all the way through. Pout lots of garlic oil or butter between cracks. Add cheese down the cracks. Bake until crusty. (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/22/e5837fd85083897af8a19516110c4bf4.jpg)

Post by: cookie1 on January 29, 2015, 12:11:32 am: Sounds quite decadent Chookie, very enjoyable I would imagine.
We had a KFC version of chicken last night. I was going to mix up some more of Chookie's KFC mix but didn't have all the ingredients, so I improvised. Soaked the chicken for about 6 hours in BUttermilk, drained it and tossed it in a mix of flour, paprika, garlic powder and salt. Also a teaspoon of sugar. Then used the AF. It was quite tasty.

Post by: troupie on January 29, 2015, 05:17:40 am: Do you ladies really use your air fryers often; I was wondering if it is worth getting one or one of those other type I think are called Actify (sort of flatter and round) if you can understand that.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cornish Cream on January 29, 2015, 08:46:08 am: I believe Astarra has an actifry Troupie so maybe she might be able to fill you in on the pros and cons of the machine.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Katiej on January 29, 2015, 09:10:25 am: I have an Actifry Troupie, I bought it before the other girls bought their Phillips airfryer. If I had known about the Phillips I'd have bought that instead.

It has a paddle that moves the food around, which is ok for things like chips, but not so good for other things. I did arancini in it once and they were squashed by the paddle. I see the other girls cooking things in their airfryer that I couldn't do in the Actifry.

I really don't use it much (I'm sure if I had a Phillips it would get more use).

Lasagne tonight.

Post by: obbie on January 29, 2015, 09:40:46 pm: I use my airfryer for chips ect, for the kids.. mine was only $99, but its great
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on January 30, 2015, 05:22:22 am: Troupie we use ours for quite a lot. I did a chicken dish like Chookie's KFC the other night and it was lovely. We do chips and wedges in it, also roast vegies. Most chicken things that need to be put in the oven and vegie things. I haven't used mine to do any bread rolls yet, or muffins but others do.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Kayc on January 30, 2015, 08:46:45 am: I thought I might try this in the air fryer. It comes from a slow cooker site... really great recipes.
This one is avocados halved, the stone taken out, and an egg put inside and cooked. I thought I might put ham or salmon inside as well. Topped with basil!

Obbie how do you do your chips, not very successful here.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: obbie on January 30, 2015, 09:44:13 am: Hally, I bought a Prinetti air fryer, which is large, with a paddle.

I do chips for 20-30 minutes, with about 1 tablespoon of EVOO
simple, yummy, crunchy, works so well.

I use canned tomatoes, passata, chillies, herbs etc. Same with the meatballs, I just put in whatever I think will taste nice.

Post by: judydawn on February 12, 2015, 10:21:23 am: Perhaps next time you make them Katie, you could write down what you use and give us an updated version of this oldie. I'm sure it would be appreciated.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Kimmyh on February 12, 2015, 10:36:13 am: I agree Judy. I did use some herbs and garlic in the meatballs but not the sauce. Definitely needs a revamp.

Post by: cookie1 on February 12, 2015, 11:33:35 am: I've taken that recipe for Snap recipes CC. It looks lovely. I haven't made the porcupine meatballs for about 30 years. I was never a fan of them. They certainly do need revisiting.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on February 14, 2015, 06:47:30 am: I made soba noodles today to use in a recipe from the cookbook that came with the machine: 'Soba salad with salmon & asparagus'. DH really enjoyed this one and said it was perfect to have on our hot day as it's served at room temp.
Basically fresh salmon fillets, cooked and flaked then mixed with a salad of baby spinach leaves, cut up asparagus, avocado, the noodles and drizzled with a ginger, honey, soy dressing and a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds. Tasty and filling. :D

(http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/lime-pepper-grilled-chicken-breasts) I thought two tablespoons of black pepper was far too much and just added a fair few grindings of black pepper.It was delicious.
I found this recipe from Bee's Tick of Yum blog.

That's what I think also.

I pinched this photo from the Age, but mine looks the same. The colour of the eggs is due to the greens we feed our chooks.
I steamed the eggs in the TMX basket.

We had a lovely roast of beef tonight with roasted Vegies, corn and snake beans from the garden.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on February 22, 2015, 04:24:48 am: I made some pumpkin fettuccine/linguine today to use in a recipe for DH's dinner.

I juiced some butternut pumpkin and added that to the egg until it weighed 95g. I also added some fresh rosemary leaves to the flour and blitzed in the TM before putting it in the pasta maker. The result was a lovely, golden pasta with tiny specks of rosemary throughout. Taste wise it had just a hint of sweet pumpkin and rosemary.

The meal itself was only a smallish serve so I've now doubled the recipe in my records for future making as it was really tasty when I had a bite and I know he'll love it.

Unfortunately, I had just sautéed the chorizo and I was about to do the next step when I lost my connection to the forum, and didn't have the recipe printed out or in Evernote. I had to wing it as I didn't have the list of ingredients, quantities, or method. As I served it up, I realised that I had forgotten the mushrooms and spinach. I had added zuchhini and peas instead and used less paprika. My family was none the wiser and it is all gone now. I love a happy ending :)

Post by: JulieO on March 26, 2015, 07:10:24 am: Just after Christmas I bought a duck going out of special for $8 (down from $20) and yesterday I cooked it in my slow cooker. It was so tender and moist I would certainly do it this way again. Anyway I removed the flesh from the skin and bones trying to keep the breasts as intact as possible and sieved the liquid into a bowl and put it in the fridge overnight. This morning there was lovely duck fat on the top which I have put in a container. I used some to make roast potatoes, I steamed some veg in the Varoma and served the duck breasts with some cherry sauce that I made some time ago that I had in the freezer. Such a lovely, tender meal and the potatoes were far nicer than any I'd made before using bought duck fat.
Tomorrow I plan on using up the rest of the duck flesh in Cookie's chicken & bacon pasta meal for DH. :D

Yay Kimmy, you will really enjoy your new machine I'm sure. :D

Today I made a recipe from one of the WW Food mags, called 'spicy beef & noodles'. Made udon noodles in my machine to add to it and the meal itself was cooked in a wok in only a few mins. It was very tasty and made enough for about 6-8 serves :o

Bedlam, they are really good, a really good buy! I had heaps of dry pasta in my pantry that I gave to my daughter when she was visiting over Easter. I can safely say I wouldn't use any of it again. The machine is so quick and easy to use and yes the fresh stuff tastes much better than any of the pre-made stuff. Yesterday I made a double batch of lasagne sheets that I let extrude long enough to fit my baking dish. I still haven't tried all the dies yet, but will get around to it in the coming weeks. ;D

Sunday night at Emerald Beach we ate out and had Mexican. Such a beautiful meal. We shared an entrée - the corn chips were made in house - black, yellow and white. For the main we made our own tortilla's. DH had prawn and I had a veggie version. It's the best Mexican I've ever had.

I opted for a Gourmet Traveller Slow Cook book when I subscribed. Lots of nice recipes. Made this one with lamb ribs that I bought at the Kyneton Farmers Market. Used home grown toms in sauce and home grown Zuchinni. Made sauce in TMX and cooked all in mini SC.

Post by: Rotorchef on April 20, 2015, 11:39:42 am: Lemon & asparagus Couscous salad

OK so this gastronomic delight came from another website so I can take ZERO credit for it unfortunately :o what I can do however is share it and extoll its virtues!

I have included the calorific attributes too as I know that some people like to count these sorts of things. They don't however include the Salmon steak that I selected to accompany this delight :P.

Ingredients:

250grams whole wheat pearl couscous
3/4 lb thin asparagus spears, tough ends trimmed
1 1/2 cups tomatoes, quartered
1/4 cup red onion, minced
1lemon, juiced (and use the zest too!)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
Salt, to taste
Fresh Cracked / Ground Black pepper, to taste.

I didn't use the Thermomix for this as I was slightly pushed for time (and ashamedly didn't have time to work it all out) so......

Couscous was added to some EVOO in a heavy pan that was hot. Keep it moving then add 2.5 cups of boiling water then cook as per normal couscous cooking process.

As for everything else - erm well its a basic salad really.

The Salmon fillet was poached as per normal with the asparagus being added towards the end with sufficient time for that too be just the correct side of 'snappy'.

Pictures have been added which contain the salad on its own and then with the Salmon fillet flaked (more like attacked with a spoon & fork).

If you choose to make it, I hope you enjoy it as much as we (yep......MrsRC was there too) did.

On the top of the chicken breast I put a mix of feta, sundried tomatoes, home made pesto and some thermomix breadcrumbs. Then made it into a parcel and used a fork to squish the edges. I cooked it for about 30 minutes. It was lovely.

Judy, tell us about it please.
We had steak and kidney with reheated noodles from frozen, Helenes Egg noodles,( good but a bit soft), silver beet from garden and a beetroot from Swap.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: troupie on May 04, 2015, 11:16:41 am: Judy was that with grated potato; we used to have it as children and I also loved it.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on May 04, 2015, 11:45:54 am: Yes, it's just potato grated on a box grater then an egg and S & P added. I find vegetable oil gives the crispiest result and I don't turn them until the bottoms are brown. So simple but I love them. Mum often used to make them for breakfast.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on May 04, 2015, 12:14:07 pm: I've never had them Judy. They sound interesting. We had a casserole. Lots of left overs so we will take some with us for tomorrow night and leave the rest for DD.

Post by: Katj on May 04, 2015, 01:59:37 pm: Yum Judy, they look delicious. I have never had them before, the combination of ingredients appeal to me. It was cold in Perth today, I tried a new recipe. It was cooked on the stove and made heaps!
Mexican Chicken and Quinoa. It was from Rena Patten's book Cooking with Quinoa. Lovely for a cold night !
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: CreamPuff63 on May 04, 2015, 04:20:19 pm: Funnily enough we used to have this too JD but it was called Potato Whitebait (similar). The re pie was in one of mums old cookbooks, maybe CWA, Golden Wattle or Esk Valley. I think the recipe is actually Potato Rosti and has Jewish origins.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on May 05, 2015, 12:15:52 am: The original EDC had potato cakes which was supposed to be a version of this recipe but it was nowhere near the mark. There was lots of discussion regarding this recipe in the early days about it not being what us Aussies know and of course we all had different names for our version. I see now in the last TM31 EDC that same recipe is called hash browns but to get the results above you really do need to grate the potato by hand and I never add all those other ingredients including a second egg. I don't squeeze the potato out either if I'm cooking them straightaway.

When I make potato rosti CP I parcook the potatoes before grating them so just a small difference and they don't seem to be as crunch as the raw potato version.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on May 05, 2015, 01:12:53 am: I was ready somewhere recently that if you add a little semolina to the grated mix, it will be crisper.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on May 05, 2015, 05:21:48 am: I made an early start for DH's dinner - making Tenina's Chicken HotPot from her website. It tastes so good and I did one of her suggestions of after cooking it in the TM, pouring it into a baking dish and topping with mashed potatoes and a sprinkle of grated parmesan and grilling it until the top was crispy.
Will be his dinner tonight and tomorrow, plus a couple of work meals that I'll freeze.

Not the best of photos today as it's really overcast outside, not much natural light about, but you get the drift. Will def be making this one again. :D

Post by: achookwoman on May 05, 2015, 08:11:47 am: Julie , that looks lovely. Nice food for these cooler days.
Judy, I did add some semolina and they did crisp up well. They probably do this without the semolina.

Yesterday for myself I made this diet meal of garlic prawns with rice (used quinoa), lentils and green bean salad. Supposedly only 2 serves but I divided up into 3 as it seemed quite a lot. So no cooking tonight or tomorrow.

For DH I made a roast with roast potatoes and steamed vegies in the varoma. ;D

Ral wanted Chocolate Pud for Dinner tonight. So thought I would make one that when you cut it the sauce came out like a lava flow. Recipe very easy in TMX but didn't bake it for long enough in oven so the whole thing collapsed . Tasted good though. Have 2 more in Fridge so will see if I can get it right. Made with Lindt Chocolate.

My photos are definitely not in JulieO's league but DH is so used to me taking them, he now plates up for me. I think he does a great job!

Post by: EmeraldSue on May 31, 2015, 01:47:40 pm: Have fun with your pasta maker Obbie.
Kimmy, your dinner looks delicious as usual.
I was craving curry tonight, but the kids are usually not that keen. I found some red curry paste in the freezer that I'd made some time ago, and with a few tweets, managed to make a chicken curry that everyone enjoyed. For DH, I cooked brown rice instead of jasmine, and served extra sauce, for DS, I didn't cook the capsicum, but added it raw at the end, and added cashews, and for DD I put in water chestnuts and baby corn. I halved the amount of curry paste so it wasn't too hot, and DH & I added extra chili at the table.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cornish Cream on May 31, 2015, 07:36:59 pm: Great looking dinner Kimmy. 8)
Your curry sounded lovely ES. :)

Great variation of a meal to suit everyone Sue.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on June 01, 2015, 02:03:14 am: Well done on all those variations Sue.

Kimmy that pasta looks great, I'll have to have a look at that blog.

Robyn, congratulations on the pasta machine and fridge. We found using '00' and semolina gives us the best result and have been using one of the noodle dies as spaghetti the majority of the time and we love the texture.

CC, slow roasted lamb is my favourite as well and we try a different recipe every time. I always cook in the oven well sealed for about 6 hours. What spices/herbs did the Persian recipe have and what was it served with?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on June 01, 2015, 04:28:27 am: Some beautiful food being mentioned here. Kimmy I wish I lived down the road from you, actually perhaps not, I would be on your doorstep all the time. ;D :D Your DH is clever.

CC the lamb sounds beautiful.

ES congratulations on coming up with something that satisfied everyone.

We have almost eaten our holiday freezer out. Tonight is corned beef. DH will be cooking it on the induction hot plate outside the van. I have popped the thermomix away as I won't be using it for a couple of days. We leave Monkey Mia Wednesday morning.

I will ask for the recipe Wonder.It had a beautiful crust.I think dried lime and rose petals were some of the herbs used and cooked it was slow cooked for 4 hours.
He served it with glazed carrots and spicy potatoes.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on June 01, 2015, 12:08:18 pm: I made the tuna mornay with crunchy topping from recipe community tonight for a change. I used leftover brown rice, stirred the juice of a lemon through the mix before baking and added some cooked bacon to the topping. It was a hit with the family as everyone went back for seconds and there was very little leftover.

Post by: troupie on June 03, 2015, 08:00:49 am: I am going to make some soup with gravy beef and rolls to go with it. I went out this morning to buy some good garlic from an organic shop near me and it was closed down so I thought I would go on to Karrinyup and buy one of those Torvola containers from Matchbox and when I got there that shop had also closed so I just came home and will use the little bit of garlic that I have left. Does anyone else in WA have trouble buying decent garlic grown in WA.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: jeninwa on June 03, 2015, 08:37:59 am: Troupie I bought garlic at the stirling farmers market on Sunday I was surprised at how cheap it was. It was at the stall that sell mainly citrus fruit.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on June 03, 2015, 08:52:13 am: No Rose petals, could try a little Rose water, but you probably need something for the texture as well. Perhaps a little celery or radish. Sounds strange but might work.

Just soup and garlic bread. Have been out for lunch at friends.

This looked so yum when I clicked on the link that I made it for our dinner tonight, was really nice :D I did fry up some bacon and cut it into chunks and that could be added as desired, and also made a couple of GF garlic and herb pizzas to dip in the soup. ;D
Kids loved being allowed to pick uo their pizza and dip it into their soup with their fingers.... ;D

There's only enough meatloaf for one sandwich left so I guess everyone enjoyed it. I also made chicken tikka to freeze in individual portions with rice for the kids while DH and I are away next week. We've also made lasagna and my mums curry chicken. It will be interesting to see if the eat the prepared meals or live at McDonalds ;D

I have peeped butter chicken to be slow cooked while we are out.

Post by: Katj on June 14, 2015, 01:27:50 am: Kimmy your dumplings look delicious, but I have to say I too have never eaten them.

Post by: Kimmyh on June 14, 2015, 11:04:40 am: Wonder it's not a Tmx recipe but a women's weekly recipe mum has always made on the stovetop. I can't believe you have never tried them Judy and CC. Think golden syrup scones cooked in a gooey sauce. Very rich but very nice.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cornish Cream on June 14, 2015, 07:08:43 pm: I made QC Tomato and Bean Soup with Mini Meatballs (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=15298.msg355607;boardseen#new).We ate it with the lovely No Fuss Rolls (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4253.0) that I made today. A great combination ;)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Katj on June 14, 2015, 10:28:20 pm: CC, is that the soup recipe from quirky Jo's book, if so, I have made it numerous times without the meatballs, it is still a beautiful hearty soup.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on June 15, 2015, 12:27:13 am: Nice looking syrup dumplings Kimmy. We had some for dessert a few nights ago. They are a lovely old fashioned comfort food.

Last night we had Irish Stew made in the SC.

Post by: cookie1 on June 15, 2015, 12:38:04 pm: We had Adriano Zumbo's Pie Burger. The taste was lovely. I did the pastry, filling and top exactly to his recipe. Then when I was about to roll the pastry out I couldn't find my small pie plates so had to make do with what I had. :-\
Title: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on June 15, 2015, 12:41:11 pm: One more. The filling was quite rich and flavoursome so balanced the large roll on the top.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on June 22, 2015, 09:59:47 am: After being away for a week I was keen to have a home cooked dinner without doing any shopping. Managed to make Judy's tomato soup using tinned tomatoes, vegetable soup using the chip recipe and the Vienna loaf made into two loaves - one with garlic butter and one plan. The meal was enjoyed by all.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Katj on June 22, 2015, 11:07:50 am: Cookie, great that DH is expanding his repertoire beyond Rice pudding haha.

Title: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on June 26, 2015, 11:32:45 am: I made a different quiche tonight. It was very nice. It had frozen spinach, bacon, onion and the usual eggs and milk as well as feta and cheddar.

Post by: cookie1 on June 27, 2015, 12:24:34 pm: Thanks. Tonight we had Jo's Chicken and Brown Rice soup and a No Fuss Bread with lots of seeds made into a plait and then twisted together. It was cut before I thought to take a photo.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: KristySpiegl on June 27, 2015, 02:19:56 pm: That quiche looks great and sounds greater Cookie. I was planning a basic Lorraine tomorrow, but I have the extra bits..... I know what I'm doing now :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on June 27, 2015, 11:59:06 pm: Love what everyone is cooking. Sick of bought food while away. Did stop for lunch at Masons in Bendigo for a last meal. This was exceptional. Will try and post some photos later.
We really do exceptional stuff with our machines.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on June 28, 2015, 06:53:54 am: You are so right Chookie. The other night I needed some pastry for the quiche base. I felt as though I couldn't be bothered but DH pointed out that by the time I removed some from the freezer and thawed it I could have short crust pastry resting in the fridge.
It so easy to make extremely tasty, healthy food.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: KristySpiegl on June 28, 2015, 05:12:53 pm: The easy way out really doesn't apply when you have a thermomix.

I'm home alone so single serve pizza night. I keep a stash of pre made bases in the freezer along with all the fixings :)

Post by: cookie1 on July 02, 2015, 11:48:15 am: That looks lovely Kimmy. It's wonderful when you can make your own noodles.

We had Madras Curry from Tenina's class the other day. It includes Tenina's Lansdale Curry Powder that I made first. We had it with Naan bread and rice. It was very tasty.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on July 03, 2015, 12:53:20 am: We had a sweet curry made in the SC. Used a recipe from my new book.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: troupie on July 05, 2015, 10:43:23 am: Mab that happens to me also (labels falling off in the freezer) and sometimes it really is pot luck. DH tells me his dad used to get cheap tins of jam because the label had fallen off and he will not eat Myra plum jam to this day or quince for that matter because that was all he seemed to get. This is way back in the olden days of course; shhhh don't tell him I said that.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: troupie on July 05, 2015, 10:47:28 am: Kristy that is a good idea; I make pizza base and keep in freezer but hadn't thought of the filling as well and I am having GK this week and they love pizza.

Kimmyh your noodles look devine; must try that one. I wish I had gone to that class Cookie; the recipes sound so tasty.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Katj on July 05, 2015, 11:07:47 am: I made Shakshuka, it was the featured recipe on the Community today. It looked just like the picture, very tasty indeed, will be making again.
Title: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on July 06, 2015, 08:03:27 am: Last night we had another recipe from Tenina's class. It was Paneer with Spinach, and Chickpea Korma. DH wasn't very fond of it but DD and I loved it. I made the Paneer on the Saturday.

Post by: mcmich on July 06, 2015, 08:16:58 am: Looks delicious Cookie. :D
DH has been after a roast chicken dinner for ages and it just hasn't happened until last night. First night back from NZ so thought I would make his favourites roast chicken and vegies and sticky date pudding with custard for dessert.

We had Guinness stew with naan bread (fushion food or confusion not sure but tasted good together) last night and leftovers tonight.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on July 06, 2015, 11:47:17 am: A roast is my favourite meal Michele but it has to be home cooked, not a hotel meal - it's just not the same.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mcmich on July 06, 2015, 11:55:52 pm: The last of Tenina's Potato, Leek and Sage soup. It really is delicious and sage gives the soup a real lift.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Katiej on July 11, 2015, 10:36:36 am: We had Skinnymixers creamy chicken & cauliflower soup, with focaccia.
I over did it with the chilli, DH loved it but my mouth was on fire.

I made it a couple of weeks ago and froze it so I am not sure if the sitting time between making and eating developed the the flavour, but we really enjoyed it. It turned out to be more of a stew than a soup so had brown rice and quinoa with it. Definitely a repeat meal, especially in these cold months.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on July 22, 2015, 02:25:58 am: I ran out of all my stock concentrates last week and with BIL, MIL being unwell and me being busy and slack I haven't managed to get anymore made.

Bought a take a way roasted chicken to have with leftover mushroom Risotto. Also bought a loaf of SD bread. When checking ingredients it has 1% SD. How about that, hardly SD.

Post by: troupie on July 31, 2015, 10:54:59 am: Nothing here either; I had what Cookie had so am too full to eat; leftover apricot chicken for DH.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: troupie on July 31, 2015, 11:04:09 am: KristyS, the apricot chicken was very nice. I baked it in a Bessemer pot on the stove and it probably would have been better done in the oven (as the recipe) but I was saving power and not turning the oven on for one small dish when doing no other cooking.

I made Emerald Sues yoghurt ice cream to go with it but used mushed up strawberries in place of passion fruit and it was delicious so will buy some passionfruit and use that next time.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Katj on July 31, 2015, 11:43:42 am: I feel like a little piggy, I did have some dinner tonight despite the fact we had a big beautiful lunch at Nikki & Nerissa's cooking class. When I got home I made Roti bread to go with left over curried Chicken which DH was eating for dinner . I had a very small serving mainly because I had never made the Roti GeForce and wanted to taste it. Yum!

Post by: Bedlam on July 31, 2015, 04:36:07 pm: The class sounded fantastic, I will get there one day.

Post by: Katiej on August 01, 2015, 10:32:18 am: Yesterday I went to Gaganis Bros (in Adelaide) and bought some spinach powder and some beetroot powder. Tonight I replaced 20grams of the flour with 20grams of spinach powder in some egg noodles I made in my new Philips pasta machine. The noodles were a lovely green colour and had a distinct spinach flavour. I used them in a beef and mushroom stir fry.

Title: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on August 04, 2015, 02:24:58 pm: I found some of Tenina's Parmesan Pastry in the freezer so decided to use it as the pastry for a quiche. I popped a heap of spinach in the microwave and gave it a quick blanch and squeezed all the water out, chopped it and put it in the pastry. Popped some mini tomatoes on the top. Blended 3 eggs, and some cream and milk to make a cup, with a bit of seasoning. Poured it into the quiche and sprinkled with a little cheese. It was yummy.

It is vegetarian, Thermilover, in fact, it would be vegan if you didn't do the eggs. Next time I think I'll add some marinated tofu as well.

But then, I kept thinking about how much we spend on a take away and most of the times, not satisfied...
So made a quick decision and prepared the wonderful, 'Non-Fried Fried rice' and as usual it was yum :)

Thermomix has surely changed the way I think, even when I am tired, there is surely something I can whip up with less effort, so lucky to have one!!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on September 10, 2015, 12:19:17 am: I'm doing the same as you tonight, Thermilover, using up the left over broccoli, cherry tomatoes, kale and celery in the fridge, the non fried fried rice is such an easy and versatile meal, and with loads of left overs 2nd night is tastier than first night!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: thermilover on September 10, 2015, 12:50:51 am: Totally agree with you Cuilidh, I got the leftovers for lunch at work :D
I am so glad I came across this recipe as hubby was saying that it is better than having fried rice at a restaurant, it was such a big complement and that too sans the oil they use :)

He was even surprised that the egg was actually steamed rather than fried, I should be using this method more often to make omelette for my little one as well..
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on September 10, 2015, 01:37:50 am: That's great Thermilover and Marina. I'm much the same at times. I really can't be bothered cooking, but then something can be whipped up in the time it would take to get the takeaway. I always feel so good about it too.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Katj on September 10, 2015, 08:53:04 am: Yep, one of our favourites also, the Non- Fried Rice.
Cookie it does make you feel good to whip something up quickly, that you know is far better for you, even if it's just soup & Bread.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Katj on September 10, 2015, 08:55:50 am: DH is hoping out with Company visitors, so I'm just having Curried Parsnip Soup made earlier and Paleo Seed Bread which Nikki & Nerissa did at their last cooking class. so Yum!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on September 10, 2015, 12:38:05 pm: I keep forgetting to make that bread. The flavour was incredible.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: thermilover on September 10, 2015, 10:43:45 pm: It was pizza night yesterday, prepared the dough off the chip and topped with all veggies, hubby loves homemade pizza now :)

Just was curious, I use bread flour to make the base but was wondering if there are any healthier versions I can try?

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Katj on September 14, 2015, 02:16:22 am: Cookie, your Pide looks very yummy.
Tonight will be grilled Salmon on Sweet Potato mash with Zucchini noodles with pesto.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on September 14, 2015, 06:42:27 am: Cookie, your Pide looks very nice.

Cuilidh, we also like the Creamy Vegetable Casserole from Thermobexta. I sometimes make a half quantity and add a small tin of tuna to it and then put a crumble topping on it to make a tuna mornay.

Last night we had Chick Pea Patties with mashed potato and steamed vegs.

Not sure what we will have tonight.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mcmich on September 14, 2015, 06:57:30 am: Pide looks delicious Cookie. I love chickpea patties and yours look particularly scrumptious Mab.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on September 14, 2015, 07:04:40 am: Thanks McMich, they were very nice. The recipe came from a Recipes Plus magazine and I only made half quantity as there are just the two of us.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on September 14, 2015, 07:40:59 am: Thermilover it is very easy to make. I should do a review of it as I made a couple of simple changes, like less cheese.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cornish Cream on September 14, 2015, 09:05:09 am: Fabulous cooking everyone. 8) It all looks soooo good.

Post by: troupie on September 14, 2015, 11:13:12 am: I had forgotten about that bread Cookie; must find my printouts and give it a go. I loved it on the day. Cant decide what to make for dinner; if I delay it long enough DH might not be hungry. Mean aren't I but I have some sewing to finish.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on September 14, 2015, 09:58:13 pm: KFC tonight with mashed potatoes and veggies. I have been marinating the chicken in Kefir with the spices. Rhubarb is growing nicely so might make small Apple and Rhubarb pie.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on September 15, 2015, 03:42:32 am: I'm going to a Quirky Jo seminar tonight. I wouldn't have bothered but my brother wanted me to go with him and his partner. The rest of the family are having sausages and whatever vegetables they do for themselves.
DH did the cooking of the roast and vegies last night. It was lovely, even his packet gravy. :D :D :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Katj on September 15, 2015, 06:32:45 am: I've made Thermo Fried Rice and have Chicken Lovely legs marinating since yesterday. Will bake them in the oven tonight.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: thermilover on September 15, 2015, 10:30:42 pm: Should I be feeling guilty that I made the Non-Fried Fried rice again :o
It was one of those days when I was completely exhausted by the time my lo went to sleep..
Wasn't in the mood of having soup/take away, ended up making fried rice, at least I know it is healthy :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on September 16, 2015, 09:57:40 am: We are having satays with something or other tonight. Probably vegetables and I'll do some satay sauce.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: troupie on September 16, 2015, 02:07:49 pm: You are all making me feel guilty with all your special meals; I seam to have lost my mojo again. It was just steak, eggs and onion and tomato here.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cornish Cream on September 17, 2015, 08:11:45 pm: After Marina's recommendation of the RC's Non-Fried Rice recipe I thought I would try it tonight.We liked it.Remembering Judy's comment about it making a lot I reduced the amount of rice. :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on September 17, 2015, 08:59:46 pm: One of the things I really like about the non fried fried rice, apart from it being so quick and easy to make as well as it tasting great, is the quantity .... day 2 you can either re-heat the left overs or have it as rice salad ... it suits my lazy style!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Wonder on September 18, 2015, 12:18:36 am: We had butternut squash, winter kale and sausage lasagne from the Inspiralized blog last night. It's not something I would normally make but it was quite quick and simple to make and I really enjoyed. A definite keeper for me.

I have just spent a few minutes looking through here for tonight's dinner. I am out of eggs and can't be bothered going down to the shop. We were having quiche. I found lots of inspiration from these posts.

Post by: cookie1 on September 21, 2015, 12:19:48 pm: Did you enjoy the crocodile steaks Bonsai? I had some several years ago and enjoyed it.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Bonsai on September 22, 2015, 12:04:14 pm: The croc steak was nice. It has a tendency to get tough if not treated right (a bit like lean pork steaks ) but this was moist and yummy. I'm glad our local butcher stocks it.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Post by: cookie1 on September 23, 2015, 12:25:11 pm: We had Two Cheese and Tomato Pie. It has pastry mix in it to form the base. I decided that all pastry mix would have in it was flour and butter so I mixed up my own pastry mix. It actually worked better than bought pastry mix.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Katj on September 23, 2015, 12:37:39 pm: We had a Smoked Salmon &. asparagus Frittata. I've been sorting recipes on bits of paper and ones cut out of magazines and that's where I found the recipe. I made a toss Salad to go with it, using the Mint Vinegarette recipe from one of the earlier Thermomix calendars. All very tasty.

The lady doing the Rough Puff Pastry demo on you tube is actually my consultant. She is a lovely lady and was so helpful to me when I first got my tmx and had no idea how to use it( mine was a gift) and I had no demo first.

I am actually going to a pastry demo with Maria on the 10th Oct., this is the first stop on our holiday :) :) :). Maria is a chef and also runs a cooking school in South Gippsland which I'd love to go to it one of these days.

I used brown rice instead of basmati, cooking it for 15 minutes before I added the vegies and continuing with the recipe. I added some sliced snow peas and beans sprouts right at the end. We both enjoyed it, it was delicious!

Post by: cookie1 on October 08, 2015, 02:33:58 am: Last night we had Beef Cottage Pie with cauliflower mash from Nifty but Thrifty. I found a cauliflower for $2 so decided on this. Initially I didn't like it because it is quite different to a traditional cottage pie. However I then decided I loved the it. DD and DH both loved it. I made a half mix and that was more than enough for us.
I served it with corn on the cob and Greek Zucchini Tots from RecipeTin Eats. They were delicious and we ate all of them! http://www.recipetineats.com/greek-zucchini-tots-mini-fritters/

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on October 25, 2015, 05:55:32 am: That was rather poor wasn't it? I have it for my feedback. Also Gert's Prosecco was quite warm. A couple of other issues too, but the food was ok and the company excellent.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on October 25, 2015, 10:26:37 am: It was 'unusual' (or perhaps unique might be a more appropriate word) service last night, wasn't it? and I know some of the food was not as hot as it should have been, whilst the Prosecco was warmer than it should have been - all somewhat disappointing, but it all added to our special memories of another wonderful FF get together! As my DH would say, you tend to remember the bad times more vividly than the good times so, working on that theory, maybe it is good that these things happened!?

Post by: kyton on November 08, 2015, 11:25:15 am: Tonight we had Szechuan pork from the new Skinnymixers "A Little Taste of Asia". I adapted it slightly - used whole pork fillets instead of pork belly that I left whole until serving. I poached them then glazed with the sticky sauce and baked. When resting after cooking, I deglazed the pan using a cup of the poaching broth to use as a drizzle over the top. Served with rice and stir fried Choy sum and capsicum (used more broth in the stir fry as well). (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/08/437ab5dbd2c33db63b3d19e8f8e612fc.jpg)

Dessert was a (non-thermi) choc peppermint cupcake. (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/08/3a64d2ce44ff584e97bfe875d79481f8.jpg)

A couple of nights ago I made the Pumpkin, Ricotta and Spinach Pasta bake from the Vegetarian book of Tenina's. I wanted to use the same cheese as she had instead of ricotta so I made some of that the day before. Tenina calls it Quesco Fresco. It was easy to make and the Bake was absolutely delicious. I will put a review up ASAP. ( that is when the PC is free!)

Post by: achookwoman on November 27, 2015, 08:06:53 pm: Sarah, did you make the chicken Kiev recipe from the Forum?
Standing rib roast for dinner tonight. Still working on big freezer. Will steam a mixture of veggies in Veroma. I shread kale and sprinkle over veggies, then food it through. I have found this the best way to use it. Mango fluff to follow.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Post by: cookie1 on November 30, 2015, 04:04:59 am: All the food sounds lovely. Last night we had Mushroom and Feta strudel from The Convenient Vegetarian. It uses filo pastry and when I went to use mine it was useless. It just broke into tiny pieces. I wasn't impressed so whizzed up some short pastry to use. I will put a review up for it.

Post by: jo_nz on November 30, 2015, 07:18:34 am: Spersephone, the kievs from here are lovely! They are a family fave and even my impossible-to-please father in law asked for the recipe.

We have just had chicken kebabs and salads for dinner - feels like summer. :)

Cookie, I don't think I have tried that recipe from dinner spinner - might have to give that a whirl. Yummo.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: EmeraldSue on November 30, 2015, 10:40:16 am: Tonight we had mushroom and beef meatballs in a tomato sauce, and last night I made a chorizo and calamari salad. DH bought the chorizo sausages from a country butcher who smokes his own smallgoods, and they are amazing.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: spersephone on November 30, 2015, 11:40:30 am: I made tuna mornay tonight. I do the onions, garlic, celery (and whatever else I sneak in) in the Thermomix, then sauté it in a frypan and add a tin of tuna. While that's mixing up the flavours, and the pasta is boiling away, I get the Thermomix to make the bechamel sauce. Then put it all together and put in the oven to brown the mozzarella on top. I did a version that was made more in the Thermomix but my husband didn't like it, so I've gone back to my old way, getting it to make the steps easier for me. I love the sauce, but I have difficulty stirring things, so I love the way it helps me!

This is a popular recipe on Facebook and I can say it delivers every time. I successfully halved it which made more than enough for the four of us.

Sarah, ricotta dumplings sound nice but Ral wouldn't like them so probably wouldn't make them for myself.
Lamb rump cutlets and lots of veggies from garden. I have a few slices of fruit loaf over so will make a B and B pud.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on January 03, 2016, 08:52:59 pm: Looks tasty Judy.

Yesterday for DH I made a recipe from Curtis Stone, very simple but he loved it. Chicken breasts brushed with garlic oil and smoked paprika and cooked in my Weber Q. It was served with a salsa of apricots, toasted pistachios, chilli and lime juice. Also some potatoes were firstly par-cooked then thickly sliced, brushed with garlic oil and cooked until golden and tender. I just added some mixed salad leaves and cherry toms to go with it. It made 2 serves, so he can have the other serve tonight.

For myself I made a really nice creamy cauli soup (Michelle B) in the TM served with toasted wholegrain bread which I'll have again tonight too (and some for the freezer). :D

Post by: Katj on January 04, 2016, 04:58:10 am: Judy, that blog does look interesting, we like zucchini's. I quite often do the zucchini noodles with basil pesto stirred through.
Tonight we are having some turkey from the freezer, it was leftover from Christmas. I made the Cleansing Spring salad that is featured on the RC today. Made it heaps if times, always tasty and always leftovers for tomorrow's lunch.

She is a vegetarian and has some very interesting recipes. This one was delicious and I got away with using the oven because it was much cooler here yesterday.

It says not to use plain white potatoes, but I do, and mix only (not whip with the butterfly). It makes this strange gluggy, cheesy mash that is a bit gross, but at the same time really yummy!

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on January 09, 2016, 09:04:42 pm: I made this salad yesterday for both of us to have. It's really nice and we loved the herb dressing which was plentiful. If you like to have bread with your salad there is lots of lovely dressing at the bottom of your bowl to dip it in. :D

As the tenderloins came in a 500g pack, I added the oil and rub to a container with the other 250g of tenders and have frozen for another time (probably next week as we really enjoyed it). There's enough rub left over for another go too.

The salad is enough for 4 serves, so we will be having the left overs tonight which I'm looking forward to.

Post by: cookie1 on January 10, 2016, 07:14:25 am: We're having pasta somehow or other tonight. It's quick after being out all day. JulieO the salad looks perfect for hot weather. So colourful too.
Katj you snuck a lot of Vegies in to the spaghetti. ;D

Post by: cookie1 on January 11, 2016, 11:10:02 am: There was only the 2 of us tonight so we had a half quantity of not fried rice. There is still so much left.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 11, 2016, 11:15:17 am: It does serve a lot cookie but it freezes and reheats well.

I had butter chicken and cauliflower rice from the freezer followed by custard and fresh peaches. I bought some from Costco last time I was there and they're the best I've had since those from a tree in my parents' back yard over a decade ago.

Post by: cookie1 on January 11, 2016, 11:17:57 am: That's good. Aldi is opening not far from us later this year. The building is nearly complete. No sign of Costco yet.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Katj on January 12, 2016, 07:25:39 am: Cookie, where exactly is the new Aldi shop being built?
Tonight we are having a Chicken & Veg stir fry. I'm adding some Edamame beans (soya beans). I have been using them more of late, they are a good protein source. Nice in salads too.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 12, 2016, 07:58:08 am: I've seen them in Costco but maybe I should buy a smaller packet from Foodland first to see if I like them Katj.

Post by: cookie1 on January 14, 2016, 01:52:35 am: Another use for the hair dryer.

We had Satay Chicken Noodle Salad from Recipe Tin Eats last night. It seemed to take a while to prepare but next time I will do most of it earlier. I made thin noodles with the Pasta Maker. It was really delicious. I chopped the carrot in the thermomix and next time I will chop the cabbages in the thermomix too. It was really tasty and we have lots of leftovers.

I also made skinnymixers butter chicken on Friday night. It was delicious, but we seemed to have lots of sauce. We had enough left over for the next night with extra chicken added.
We had mango Icecream for dessert as I managed to buy some really fragrant, ripe mangoes for 50c each.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on January 18, 2016, 10:50:17 am: I was going to make a chicken and roasted capsicum dish but needed a small amount of mayonnaise to make the sauce and I had run out. So I marinated the chicken as strips in some sherry and soy, then sliced up all the Vegies I could find and we had a stir fry. It was delicious.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 23, 2016, 08:47:49 am: Satay chicken noodle salad from RecipeTin Eats http://www.recipetineats.com/satay-chicken-noodle-salad/

I made the coleslaw/carrot salad in the TMX, chopping the 2cm slices of carrot for 3 sec/speed 5 and used only green cabbage chopping that separately for 2 sec/speed 5.

I used 2 confit of garlic in the dressing, roasted sesame oil, the chilli sauce/vinegar option and evaporated coconut milk, reduced the curry to 1 tsp - I made this in the TMX, mixing it for 20 sec/speed 6.

I only used 185g of the hokkein Singapore noodles but the full quantity of chicken fillet. In hindsight I guess I could have added more noodles but there seemed plenty enough there for me although it doesn't show much in my photo, it's all hidden underneath the chicken.

I was a bit confused as to what to mix with what at the end. The picture on the print out showed all 3 elements positioned separately but the directions are different. I also wasn't sure whether to add the coleslaw in with everything or not but I felt it needed a dressing so I mixed some of the satay sauce with it. I've since returned to the site to read the recipe again and obviously you can mix it all up together if you wish.

As with all her recipes, this was a winner. The satay sauce and coleslaw can be made ahead of time so that the final stage can come together very quickly.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on January 23, 2016, 09:36:52 am: We enjoyed this dish too Judy. I didn't do the coleslaw in the thermomix, but I will do next time.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on January 23, 2016, 09:22:27 pm: That looks delicious Judy, must check that recipe out.

I made your Marsala chicken yesterday for DH and he really enjoyed it. My chicken was shredded at the end even though I did cut into big cubes. Not to worry, I served in a pasta bowl with mash on the bottom and steamed veg over that, then spooned over the chicken and sauce, he thought it was great. He'll have the same again tonight. :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 24, 2016, 12:22:42 am: Thanks for trying my recipe Julie. I'm glad your DH enjoyed it.

Post by: cookie1 on January 24, 2016, 01:41:53 am: We had Red Rooster chicken and chips last night. We went in to see BIL who is in hospital for most of the afternoon so decided take away would be perfect. It's become quite hot again too.

Post by: Katj on January 24, 2016, 10:56:00 am: We were busy shopping for a new washing machine and fridge today and didn't have lunch till 3, so neither of us felt like dinner, even though I made Quirky Jo's Heuvos Rancheros, we couldn't face it, so it will keep for another night.
I just had some fresh pineapple, DH had left over Salad.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Kimmyh on January 24, 2016, 11:01:48 am: Nice satay Judy.
Tonight I made skinnymixers pork belly with apple sauce which was very nice and a simple method to cook pork belly. I am however really disappointed in my local woollies store. I picked up two pieces of pork belly and when the time came to cook them, one had rind and the other didn't! Both packages were identically labelled and priced. Why would they do that? Shouldn't all pork belly have rind for crackle?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: *suzanne* on January 24, 2016, 12:39:37 pm: That's a bummer kimmy, certainly either ring the store or send an email I've found ww very good when letting them know of a product or food that hasn't been what I expected and the rind is the most important part of the belly in my world anyway
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cornish Cream on January 24, 2016, 04:16:18 pm: Very disappointing not finding the rind on one of those pieces of belly pork Kim.Maybe the butcher preparing the meat got carried away not realizing what they had done.I would see what the supermarket has to say when you tell them.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on January 25, 2016, 02:27:46 am: Am I reading the recipe wrong? But does the pork belly recipe from Skinny mixers recipe let the fat while steaming drip into the apple sauce. ?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: spersephone on January 25, 2016, 04:05:30 am: I haven't made it, but it looks like it. I assume it adds flavour?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on January 25, 2016, 04:54:22 am: Thanks Sarah. Don't think I will make the sauce like this but will still give it a go without the sauce in the bowl.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on January 25, 2016, 07:13:03 am: I haven't made any of Skinnymixers recipes. I have bought her two latest books so I really must get going.
I'm very wary of fat and try to reduce it as much as I can, so I will be doing the pork differently too.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 25, 2016, 09:21:10 am: I made Skinnymixers all-in-one-chicken dish from her website tonight http://skinnymixers.com.au/skinnymixers-all-in-one-chicken-dinner/ - it was delicious. I didn't read the recipe correctly and left the paste in the bowl when I added the stock so I had to start all over again and then in my haste to get tea underway I forgot to add some chicken stock powder to the bowl the second time but it was still delicious, I have added some to the leftover gravy now though. As you can see, I did throw the piece of chicken into a small pan at the end to add a bit of colour.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: spersephone on January 25, 2016, 09:46:53 am: I've made that before, but happily mash the potatoes and the recipe I have says not to do it with white potatoes. It comes out sort of gluey and cheesy for some reason - but I like it!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Kimmyh on January 25, 2016, 09:50:25 am: I have emailed ww thanks ladies. I don't think the apple sauce is that great chookie. I noticed that not much fat came out of the pork belly when steaming. More came out in the oven and made the sauce taste fatty. Luckily I had only poured a little sauce around the pork belly and the rest was placed in a dish and kept warm in the bottom of the oven. We only ate the sauce from the dish and threw out the fatty sauce.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Kimmyh on January 25, 2016, 09:51:47 am: Your meal looks great Judy. I have just bought that book. I am hoping to try the healthy carbonara sauce first. It's going viral on Facebook at the moment!

Title: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Kimmyh on January 27, 2016, 10:42:40 am: Update on The pork belly. WW have contacted me and offered a refund and replacement pork belly (hopefully with rind this time). No explanation as to how this occurred, but they are looking into it. Can't ask for more.

Must be a skinnymixers kind of week. Tonight skinnymixers butter chicken and vegetable biryani. The butter chicken sauce freezes really well. I find that half the sauce feeds us four. I make the full recipe, cooking 500g chicken in a frypan and use half the sauce. I then freeze leftover sauce ready to use with another batch of chicken next time. Makes for a quick meal on those nights when you don't want to cook.

I had a lovely main meal which was pan fried chicken breast with sage leaves on a slice of grilled Semolina with a red wine sauce and crispy pancetta. This morning I made the Semolina ready to slice and grill. It would be easy to make the sauce and semolina before hand and pantry chicken , pancetta and semolina 10 minutes before required.
I made the semolina to the polenta recipe in the TMX 5 cook book. Will post when I do the complete meal.,

Post by: JulieO on January 31, 2016, 11:21:43 pm: I've prepared the QFITT Miso chicken recipe. I used 1kg of thighs and doubled the sauce as others have said. I didn't bother to put the chicken pieces into the bowl to mix with the sauce, I just put the chicken in the big baking dish and poured over the sauce and turned to coat. The dish is now in the fridge where I'll leave it to marinate for a few hours then will bake. I'm unsure whether to serve with rice or make some mash and steamed veg for DH (working till 7pm). :P

Julie did you make your own Jerk Paste for the salmon please?

Cookie, yes I make my own pastes and freeze. I make the salmon recipe quite often for me and use whatever curry paste I have in the freezer at the time, not necessarily Jerk.
In the photo above I used Tandoori paste and in the recipe 2 tbs is mixed with 2 tsp honey and spooned over the salmon before baking. If using store bought I wouldn't add that much paste as it's generally stronger/hotter than I make mine at home.

If you want the recipe for Jerk, please ask and I can post for you. I can't remember where I got it from though :P
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on February 03, 2016, 06:29:37 am: Thanks. It sounds a lovely way to do salmon. When I checked out the Jerk Paste recipe the first ingredient was a Scotch Bonnet (?) chilli. I make my own curry pastes too. It's so easy with the thermomix.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on February 03, 2016, 06:43:04 am: Cookie, this is the recipe I use. Apologies that I can't remember from where I got the recipe. It's possible it's one that I amended to suit the TM, though I do like to grind spices in my spice grinder.

JERK PASTE (I freeze in 1 tbsp amounts)
Spice mix
½ tsp coriander seeds
3 tsp black peppercorns
½ tsp each: ground cinnamon, ground coriander, freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp ground allspice

Place all the spice mix into a spice grinder. Process until powder like.

Rest
3 garlic cloves, peeled
2 long red chillies, seeds removed, cut into chunks (if you like hotter, leave seeds in)
1.5cm piece fresh ginger, peeled
zest of ½ lime, juice of 1
70ml olive oil
½ bunch fresh thyme, leaves only

With blades turning on speed 7, drop garlic, chillies and ginger through opening in the lid. Scrape down bowl.
Add rest of ingredients including the processed spices and blend to a smooth paste, 20 secs/speed 10. Scrape from the bowl and use as needed.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on February 03, 2016, 06:52:44 am: The last couple of days this has been my dinner; Spiced lamb with tomato parsley salad. It looks like the lamb is burned in the photo but it wasn't as dark as it looks. The spices that was rubbed on the outside of the meat has made it appear darker.

The lamb was lovely and tender and I thoroughly enjoyed the low-cal meal. A drizzle of Helene's balsamic reduction that I made yesterday went perfectly with this, a tsp was all that was needed. So good. :)

I probably give out the wrong impression (that I'm on a diet). I'm not, but I eat light with treats now and then. That and my morning walks keeps my weight stable (around 53kg).

Got my book from a newsagency. If you get a chance, have a look through and see if it appeals. ;D

After browning I added a tin of tomatoes with some basil leaves. We had them with Vegies.

I'm doing a bit of a clean out of the freezer so yesterday I halved 2 chicken breasts and cut each half in half again horizontally. I mixed together some bolognaise sauce and parmingiana sauce from the freezer and layered the lot in my mini slow cooker. Didn't take long for the chicken to cook and it smelled lovely while cooking. I let it cool then refrigerated for flavours to develop overnight. Will serve with mash and steamed veg today. I think it will be nice. :)

Pockets in the breasts were filled with cream cheese/chopped veg and a tomato sauce served spooned over it. I had a taste but wasn't particularly taken with it, thought there wasn't a lot of flavour to be honest. DH thought the same. First TM recipe in a while that hasn't hit the mark.

Using wholemeal pasta, flaked salmon fillet, asparagus, cherry toms, baby spinach, basil leaves, lemon juice/zest and finished off with a sprinkling of toasted pine nuts and black pepper. Was exactly what I felt like today. :)

I 'cooked' the spirals in the Alyce Alexandra method, so easy. :D

Post by: judydawn on March 03, 2016, 07:31:46 am: Thai yellow curry mango chicken - inspired by this recipe http://www.recipetineats.com/thai-red-curry-with-chicken-mango/. I made the sauce yesterday, tonight I panfried 3 chicken tenderloins and unlike the recipe, I wanted some veggies too so I steamed carrots, snow peas and broccolini in the TMX, put all the different elements into a casserole dish, added enough sauce to cover and heated in the microwave along with some rice from the freezer. Delicious! I also re-heated a Yorkshire Pudding in the a/f and filled that with some sauce. Yorkies and any sauce are a match made in heaven although I'm sure the Thai people haven't tried it. Such a nice meal that I had to have a glass of Moscato as well.

Post by: spersephone on March 06, 2016, 11:30:35 am: Tuna Mornay. It's my standard recipe modified so that the Thermomix does much of the busywork for me. It grates the mozzarella, chops up the onion, garlic and celery, and any other veggies I throw in, then while I'm cooking up the pasta and frying the veggies with the tuna, it's making the white sauce for me. I did a Thermomix recipe once, but my husband didn't like it, so this is my compromise. I didn't have cauliflower, otherwise I'd have made Skinnymixer's healthy carbonara as the sauce.

We had too many meals out when we were in Melbourne, so we were happy to just have grilled fish and Veges.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on March 09, 2016, 12:44:46 am: Last night I roasted a heap of Vegies in the AF. Pumpkin, zucchini, red capsicum and mixed them with a cheese sauce. Added some penne from the pasta maker, mixed them and sprinkled a little cheese on too and baked it for 15 minutes. It was delicious.

Post by: JulieO on March 09, 2016, 06:19:40 am: Sounds delicious Cookie. :D

This morning I made up a half quantity of this lovely salad, for me to have over 2 nights. Loved doing it in a jar, everything stayed nice, crisp and fresh with the dressing being on the bottom. Will be making more of this sort of thing, I so enjoyed it. :D

Love being able to make up things early and just having when wanted.

The first photo is not the clearest because of the condensation; best to look at the one on the website, but you can at least see the lovely colours of the salad in the other 2. ;D

Judy, the spinach leaves bulk it out more I think, especially in a shallow bowl. I got through it okay too. ;D

Cookie, a great idea for people wanting to take to work too. There are some gorgeous glass jars around now that have wide openings which would make it even more special. Love stuff like that. :D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on March 15, 2016, 05:01:52 am: Early this morning I made another recipe from the 'Salads in a Jar' book, to have for dinner over the next 2 nights. The recipe is called "Spicy prawns with Jalapeno salsa", only as I don't like things too hot, I opted to use normal green chilli in the salsa instead.

Really loved the flavours and how crisp the salad stayed and look forward to having the other serve tomorrow. I bought some lovely Weck jars which are perfect for this. Am loving this book. :D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on March 15, 2016, 07:09:56 am: Thanks Boo and Cookie. :D

I got the jars on-line from here and they do have store in WA Cookie. Just click on the one you like and there is a pull down window saying where they are available in your state.

I bought an assortment of different shapes and sizes, but really like the one featured in the above photo. :D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on March 18, 2016, 07:05:06 am: I made some cheesy meatballs with garlic croutons for DH which he really enjoyed. Next time I would make into crumbs instead of the croutons and not use as much bread (sourdough) as there was too much. The bit that was added (softnened with milk) to the meatballs though made them lovely and moist.

I hammered it out very thinly, put Cheese slices on it and bacon over the cheese. I held them on with tooth picks. I then cooked it quickly in the frying pan. It was very tasty and we even had leftovers of the chicken. I served it with vegetables.

Enjoy your Dinner Mab.
Judy, my oven at Cherokee is a double oven St. George. I chose it because the door opens side ways and both oven are large.
The oven at Invermay is a Miele with a separate microwave that has a grill element at the top. It cooks well but is far too small for the baking that I like to do. Will be difficult to replace because of the design of the kitchen. Next trip over, I will bring the AF. This may help.

Post by: cookie1 on March 25, 2016, 02:41:36 am: I hope you enjoyed the Italian meal Margaret. It inspired me. My brother is over from ACT and is coming for dinner tomorrow night so I have decided to go Italian. Possibly Lasagne, a garlic/herb pull apart and a light salad. I have done a sort of Chocolate Icecream cake for dessert, with a fudge sauce.

Fish and chips is not something you would have been able to whizz out and buy at Cherokee Chookie, we all have our favourite shop and there's nothing wrong with having a night off occasionally so I'm glad you let the family talk you into it.

Beef and Stout from British Isle on a Plate . With home grow tomatoes, beans, pots and Zuchinni.
Last night Sausages from an award winning butcher at Ballarat. He is an old fashion type butcher and breaks up his meat at the shop. I ordered and picked up some skirt steak. Can't wait to cook with it.
We hardly ever have ordinary sausages as I know that are usually, flour, fat , salt , spices and a little meat. These were lovely.

Will serve with steamed vegies I think.

Sorry, but I have never really come to terms with Quinoa. I can just cope when it is mixed with other grains.
No dinner tonight as DD and GC turned up for afternoon tea. We helped them eat scones strawberry jam and cream, Lemon Muffins( thanks Trudy), and Potato Gems cooked in AF.

Post by: JulieO on April 23, 2016, 08:15:37 am: I was looking on-line for a new lasagne recipe and this one came up. Thought it sounded a bit different with the roasted capsicums in it so I gave it a try. Chopped all the veg in the TM and used a 800g can of chopped Italian toms that I pureed in the TM instead of buying a bottle of passata. The recipe made a lovely, thick, tasty meat sauce, one I will definitely make again.

I made a double lot of lasagne sheets with the Philips and used the cheesy sauce from the forum. Served with a simple salad DH really enjoyed it. Has been cut up and frozen in single lots now for DH for work.

I had the second serve of a salad in a jar recipe called 'Prawn cocktail pasta jar'. Photo taken yesterday with dappled light causing problems but the meal itself was really good and full of flavour. :D

We had 'make your own burgers' tonight. I tried out the Spiraliser that came with the KA for chips. I cooked them in the AF. It is ever so easy to use and very little washing up. It comes all beautifully packed in a special storage box.

DH requested Irish Stew, I made it in the SC.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on April 25, 2016, 11:47:34 am: I made this SC meal tonight https://cooktopcove.com/2016/04/20/slow-cooker-makes-bbq-chicken-steamed-corn-and-cheesy-potatoes-all-inone substituting chicken drumsticks for thighs and some of Trudy's apricot sauce from the freezer for the BBQ sauce. I added the corn 3 hours into the cooking and both the chicken and corn were lovely but I wouldn't do the potatoes in foil again, I had to give them 5 minutes in the microwave as everything else was cooked but even then they remained hard. I don't know if it was the potatoes I used or whether they'd been in the SC too long (8.5 hours).
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Katiej on April 25, 2016, 12:40:59 pm: Looks lovely Judy.

Might have been the type of potatoes Judy, but strange they were still hard after being microwaved.

I made a slow cooker sausage and potato casserole in the SC today and the potatoes cooked quicker than I expected them to.

I was wondering the same as Julie cookie, is that the first meal you've cooked from those magazines and did you enjoy it?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on May 01, 2016, 03:58:56 am: Yes it is the first meal I've cooked from TMix+. We loved it, especially the cheesy, garlic polenta. I've cooked polenta in the thermomix before but this seemed so easy. I found the recipe easy to follow and it seemed to flow beautifully. A well written recipe. I put a teaspoon of vegie stock into the meatballs as I usually do this.
I've had the book for ages but never had the inclination to really look into it before.

Post by: jakodai on May 21, 2016, 11:09:27 am: We had Skinnymixers macaroni cheese with a twist tonight. I made it the other night, but DS didn't like it - the Parmesan was vey strong. So tonight I made it with just cheddar cheese. I thought it was beautiful, but DS didn't like it either. This time I don't think it was a taste thing, though. I think it's a texture thing. It feels very different to be Kraft one we would normally have.

I had the same problem with my two DS's until I used the Kraft cheese (you know that processed stuff sold in blue cardboard near the honey) and they are now requesting it!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: jakodai on May 26, 2016, 02:19:18 pm: That's the cheese I used, Kimmy. But with the vegetables, even though you can't taste them, it changes the texture, and because he's so sensitive to sensory input, it'll take some work to get him used to it. I hope that's what it is anyway. I would love to have a meal with vegetables in it instead of relying of V8 juice... :-/

No, it's not on the forum, I got it from a blog called the Fat Free Vegan Kitchen and this is the recipe (http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2008/03/smoky-refried-bean-soup.html)

Very quick and easy, well worth giving it a try. It is really thick so I added a fair bit more liquid to make it more soupy, but it would also be good as a stew or even a pasta sauce or on corn chips, etc. I added some chopped up avocado to my bowl.

Post by: achookwoman on June 15, 2016, 10:51:39 pm: Judy, looks great. You have inspired me to try this for dinner tonight.
Last night family for dinner. I had pre cooked corned beef and it successfullyreheated in microwave.
I also steamed lots of veggies in Varoma , put into baking dish, covered with Awesome cheese sauce and sprinkled a mix of grated cheese and Panko crumbs on top. Looked terrific and tasted delicious.

Post by: astarra on June 16, 2016, 07:50:24 am: I have a piece of beef in the slow cooker for tonight, going to shred it, also have the enough rice for the whole family rice in the thermoserver to have with it :D

Post by: judydawn on June 19, 2016, 09:56:18 am: It's great when you find another winner for the family astarra.

I had a cottage pie from the freezer then took one of my individual pavs out as well. I had frozen them in the hope they would thaw OK and they were exactly the same as when first cooked.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Bootobethin on June 19, 2016, 02:57:24 pm: Judy did you freeze the pavlova just as it was or did you do anything to it. It would be great to be able to freeze pavs.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on June 28, 2016, 12:12:50 am: Yesterday I finally made a dish from the book Chookie bought recently (A bird in the hand), called Puerto Rican chicken & rice. I found a recipe on line to make my own achiote paste to use in it (instead of buying it) which made more than was needed. I've frozen the rest in a 1 tbs iceblock tray for future use.
The uncooked rice gets added to the pot and is cooked at the same time so no need to cook that separately.

My son is visiting for a few days and both he and DH really enjoyed it, will make again.

Post by: achookwoman on June 28, 2016, 03:38:26 am: Julie, thanks for posting a recipe from that book. Is it very spicy( hot)?

I have made Chicken, leeks and apples and cider. What was left over I added button mushrooms and made chicken cottage pies. Very nice.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on June 28, 2016, 07:52:44 am: Thank you Mab :D

Cookie, my DH is not a lover of anything too hot or spicy so I reduce the content of chillies etc and did so in this recipe. Turned out to be the right heat for him in this instance. ;D

Today I made them salmon fillets wrapped in prosciutto; pan fried to get the salmon golden and crispy then finished off in my little oven. Served on a bed of mash and wilted spinach and a little cob of corn. Topped with grilled asparagus and a dizzle of holandaise. One of my DH's favourites. :D

All under Awesome cheese sauce.Sprinkled with a mixture of Parmasen and Japanese bread crumbs. Paw Paw for pud.
Baked 1 minute bread which contains 100 g of mixed grains.
Made Nay Nay scones in TMX , after cheese sauce. Just roughly scraped out the sauce.

Happy Birthday Mr.Cookie.The birthday meal sounds delicious.

Today the temperature reached a high of 28c.That's hot for the UK Cookie.We occasionally have the odd day of 30c+ but that's rare.Fortunately we don't experience the very high temperatures that you have during your summer.

Post by: Katj on July 18, 2016, 10:55:02 pm: Cookie, I hope DH had a nice Birthday and enjoyed his birthday dinner. So easy to please.
My DH will eat & enjoy anything I cook, but requested good old homemade hamburgers for his birthday.
I made Pumpkin & Pulse curry from the Everyday cooking for Thermo families last night. The pumpkin disintegrated quite a bit, but I didn't mind, it was more like a thick dhal. The flavour is beautiful, and I say 'is' because there is still heaps left. It gave a choice if lentils or chickpeas, I chose lentils.
I had another vege curry to go with it and some Roti breads in the freezer, very tasty!

One of my favourite dinners Judy.It looks so good 8)

300 celeriac
1 medium leek. Both cooked in 1 teaspoon of oil for 5 minutes , Varoma, sp 2
Then covered with 800 g water and 3 stock cubes. Cooked 20 minutes, 100, Sp2.
Them 1 minute, sp. 10.
Lovely and creamy, about 80 calories per serve. ( 3 serves)
Recipe said to add a bunch of water cress at end but it was too wet and cold to go out to the garden to pick some.

Today we are having the Wok burner renovated on the Miele stove so it will be stir fry for dinner. There is a Blog called Woks of Life which I follow, so may look there for inspiration.

Tonight I made one of the recipes from Book 1 but it's also on the website. Sausage Paprikash
https://www.slowcookercentral.com/recipe/sausage-paprikash/#comment-11823, it's very tasty.

It only took 2 hours on high and in that time I did some weeding (filled the green bin) and had a relaxing bath bath then in the last 30 minutes cooking time I cooked some veggies in the TMX. Served it with potato & cauliflower mash & steamed veggies. It made 3 meals for me, I only eat small quantities of sausages.

KFC chicken breast and KFC mushroom steaks.

How did you go with the KFC mixture Chookie, did you like it? I too came across the recipe, as I am a vegetarian, I dont eat KFC but would love to try it with some veggie (pregnancy cravings here :P ) or like you with mushroom, was it good?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on August 24, 2016, 01:35:25 am: Thermilover, I didn't get around to making the new recipe but used some of my KFC recipe which is posted on the Forum.

You could use other veggies such as Zuchinni or sweet potato or pumpkin.

Same with a packet of French Onion Soup mix as we have our home made FOSM recipe.

Post by: cookie1 on August 26, 2016, 12:15:59 pm: I totally agree Judy. So many recipes everywhere have a can of this and a packet of this with all sorts of stuff. Even before thermomix I usually tried to make things from scratch.

Sort of Judy. He knows it is healthy to do that. She is out 3-4 evenings a month at meetings so we have steak or pork chops then. We still have a roast as she enjoys them. I must admit I have found some lovely recipes. They are only part or little thermomix but would be tasty. She doesn't mind a little bacon or chorizo in meals. I think it hankers back to some of the prac classes she had at Uni, not so much eating animals.

I've adapted it a bit to suit our tastes and Australian ingredients (the blogger is based in Scotland). I par-boil my potatoes then toss them in wth everything else and you pretty well have an all-in-one meal, with the addition of salad or other vegetables

I have replaced my waffle maker with a machine that makes waffle baskets. I make a double lot, ( 8) and keep the in the fridge or freezer, reheat them , to crisp up, as needed and fill with fruit and ice cream. Can also be used for savoury fillings. Cost $55.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on November 17, 2016, 08:49:32 pm: Kimmy, don't think it is available in Australia. You could just add the 250 of both carrots and parsnips in the last 30 mins of cooking and reduce the onion to 1.

Post by: dede on November 20, 2016, 08:46:14 am: As simple as that is cookie it still sounds really yummy.

I had a BBQ tonight as my eldest son and his girlfriend come for a visit. I made a curried pasta salad, rice salad and some zucchini, corn and chickpea fritters to use up the chickpeas I put aside after collecting the Aquafaba. I love the fact that there was nothing wasted.

Frank got very sick a few days after we got to Greece, he was on
Antibiotics for about 3 weeks and couldn’t do the race
He was very disappointed; we still did the trip to Sparta where the race ends only on the bus.
He’s undecided if he is going to train again for next year

We enjoyed it Chookie. I did one chicken breast between the 3 of us. It's quite enough, and then I did a half quantity of the risoni part. I used a whole tin of tomatoes and reduced the stock to one cup. We even had leftovers with the half quantity, but not too many. I served it with the Raw Vegetable Salad from here. It was 41 so it was great.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cornish Cream on January 18, 2017, 07:13:57 pm: How did the Piri Piri cook on the new Weber Cookie?

I dugout a couple of lamb pies out of the freezer.Served them with mashed potato and steamed green beans,carrots and peas.
I've challenging myself to eat everything out of my freezer so I can buy a new one.This freezer has become a bit unreliable.I seem to have quite a bit of lamb to cook.I found two lamb shanks, lamb chops,two lots of rack of lamb,two packs of lamb mince and half a leg of lamb :o Will have to get my thinking cap on what to cook. :-\
Title: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on January 19, 2017, 05:14:43 am: The Piri Piri chicken in the baby Weber was lovely Denise. We only did a small chicken.

Enjoy eating out the freezer Judy, we can sometimes find surprised in there.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Have potatoes, pumpkins and broccoli ready to roast and carrots + fresh beans ready to steam, then I'll make gravy with the meat juices and vege water :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on January 23, 2017, 11:56:54 am: It sounds delicious Astarra. You are obviously feeling a lot better. We had a bought roast chook and I did Vegies with it. We got home a bit late to do the roast beef I had out of the freezer.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on January 24, 2017, 08:57:21 pm: Astarra, delicious.
Cookie, it is hard to pass theprecooked chooks. They are only $8 at Coles and Woolworths. We prepare the Woolworths. Heaven only knows what they coat them with. One chook provides 6 serves for us plus the bones for stock.
Last night I cooked Chow Mein in TMX to reheat for lunch today and make some Spring rolls with the leftovers. I want to try the Plum Sauce to see how it goes. If taste test is ok will post the sauce recipe. Mostly made in TMX.

They certainly look nice.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on January 30, 2017, 04:08:15 am: Yes Chookie I cooked them in the new oven. I used the burst of steam. I didn't prove them in there though as it was warm/hot in the house.

I have DS and DSTEPD nursing broken hearts at the moment. DS has moved home to the Granny Flat and step daughter has found a rental. Tonight I've made a huge quantity of bolognaise sauce so I can give to DSD with enough to freeze. Luckily DS is a butcher so the meat is free.

I'm not that keen on mustard so halved it and used mozzarella cheese instead of Swiss.

This is a basic 6 week programme with exercises and walking. Not hard to stick to the food part but as my back gets better I am able to do more of the exercises.

. I saw the dietician again this morning. It was part and parcel of the diabetes diagnosis. I politely refused another visit in a month. She is very expensive and I've had to pay for the last 2 visits. Very little back from the health fund. I can easy visit again if I feel I need it. Fortunately everything seems to be going well. I've lost 8kg and am using the treadmill for 20 minutes every day. An enormous change for me. It is probably the reason I ended up with Type 2.

Tonight's dinner is unsure as I'm doing our menu plan at the moment, then I will shop.

I had some chicken drumsticks out for tea tonight, hadn't decided how I was going to cook then when the postie delivered a book I ordered through ~~Amazon~~ Book Depository last week. I went straight to the index and next minute I had maple dijon drumsticks in the slow cooker. Off out for the day and all I had to do when I returned was a jacket potato and heat some cauli/broccoli au-gratin I had in the freezer.

The Waffle baskets were a great success with the GC. We also decided they would be great reheated and crisped up in the AF. I made the batter in the TMX.
The cauliflower mash was also good. I steamed the cauliflower in the Varoma tray, then mashed it in the TMX with salt and pepper. Good low carb substitute for mashed potato.

They have a delicious flavour Chookie but they are small and fiddly to deal with being small and stubby.

I steamed the meatballs in the varoma then browned them in a little oil and butter.

The sauce was too tart for me so I added 3 tbspns chopped fresh pineapple. It doesn't seem as if it will be enough sauce for half the quantity of the meatball recipe but there is plenty. It clings really well to the balls.

Astarra, chicken soup is a great standby both for cook and consumers.
Corned beef , mashed spuds and mixed veggies in Varoma.
Make pies, some for freezer. Meat and chicken.

Post by: judydawn on June 10, 2017, 03:18:51 am: Chicken soup here tonight, inspired by astarra's post a couple of days ago I made it last night from 2 roast chicken carcasses from the freezer, that left a nice gap to fill with soup packs.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on June 10, 2017, 09:11:39 am: Your freezer sounds like ours Judy. When I make bread I have to check that there is space for it. We brought back about a dozen packs of fish and they filled it up. DD put a few bits in it too while we were away.

We're having Minestrone soup tonight with haloumi in pits bread. I've just put the pita bread aside to rise.

I'm aiming to get my stocks down so that I can shut down the little freezer but that will be a tough job. Every now and then I just grab a packet of something and just throw it in the bin (usually in the cake or dessert line, I can do without eating that sort of food
anyway). I'd like to have room for some home made bread eventually.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on June 10, 2017, 01:13:05 pm: It is Judy , just hard to keep up to it . Have been time poor lately. Apples are tricky ,I do not like a unripe apple . We have put some green ones into fridges at Wool Shead . But one is a bar fridge , so not that much room . If you put them inside at the moment there are just too many mice around , tempting fate really . So freshly picked off the tree is the best option . Also giving to others . Apple crumble will be on the menu again tomorrow . Then to Melbourne on Monday for Dentist appointments . Life is never quiet .
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on June 11, 2017, 03:46:50 am: KATIE, don't know if this is any use, but when I prepare apples to cook, I save the cores etc to make jelly. You can freeze them and keep adding until you have a lot.
I agree, straight off the tree is good.
I have been making lots of rhubarb and apple pies. Wrappped in puff pastry with just a little sugar both in the mix and on top. A little spice mix inside and on top also.
Have you seen my post on bottling apples in bottles, in the microwave?

Post by: K Atie on June 11, 2017, 01:23:09 pm: Ac hookwoman that sounds like a great idea , even the chooks have had enough apple scraps . Will do that or if I get some time crab apple jelly . Apples bottled in the microwave , can you use normal glass jars ? I have seen your post on that . This is what I love about this forum , sharing and inspiring . Oh yes we had Thermobectas Mushroom stroganoff. DS 12 not happy , he really does not like mushrooms . But there was chewy bits of apple crumble devoured after .
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on June 12, 2017, 11:48:17 pm: KATIE, it is the lid that is important on the glass jars. It should have that little white seal inside the lid.

In the background is a failed Ciabiatta I made. It was a new recipe and I felt it was too moist and it flattened out quickly.

Then add potatoes and veg a splash of lea n perrins cook for 15 minutes . Then add cornflower to the water, add beans in now and another 5 mins . Varoma speed 4 . Just checked out the recipe on RC . Best to follow that . First you saute the onion garlic rosemary and olive oil then add 1.5 litres of water . I added Rosemary salt the first time and the gravy was more flavoursome . Hope this helps .

I do a few things differently. Steam the potatoes in the TM. Use homemade TM Chilli Sauce (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2309.0)instead of the Chilli Jam.

Post by: Cuilidh on June 29, 2017, 09:39:11 pm: Creamy Vegetable Soup (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=16628.0) - I added a can of chickpeas at the end and whizzed them for 5 seconds to retain some texture. Lovely, quick and easy soup on a cold winter's night.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on June 30, 2017, 12:46:53 am: Duck fried rice. Made this for lunch yesterday. Replaced the bacon with small cooked duck cubes. Added onion, peas, red capsicum and zuchinni.

Post by: judydawn on June 30, 2017, 01:39:46 am: The warm chicken salad looks nice Denise, must add that website to my list for browsing. I do more browsing than cooking these days but it keeps me occupied in the evenings.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on June 30, 2017, 07:08:58 am: Thanks K Atie. I think I will give that a try. Everyone's dinners sound lovely.
Tonight we are having a sort of quiche thing that I found in a diabetic magazine, with roasted vegies. Also the leftovers from Chookie's soup. It is cold and windy here, brewing up for a storm I think.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on June 30, 2017, 01:40:17 pm: Lamb backstrap pan fried with red current jelly . Couscous cooked in the thermosever , with preserved lemon ,currants, bit of red pepper for colour, fresh sliced mint leaves salt and olive oil .poured boiling water over top put lid on and leafed for 6 minuets . A Cornetto to follow , local shop had no icecream ! Possibly will have to make killer vanilla icecream to keep DH happy .
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on June 30, 2017, 01:59:01 pm: DH has something in common with me Katie, I have to have ice-cream in the fridge but these days I don't bother making my own.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on July 02, 2017, 06:48:06 am: Last night , felling tiered so simple pasta sauce made . Then I tried the Jaffa chocolate mousse from TMXs July no8 edition . Recipe on TMXs Facebook site . Topped with a strawberry and mint . Well they all loved it because it was chocolate . But I was the only one that new it was made with avocado . The thought makes me feel ill but I smiled and ate it not bad , cannot tell there is avocado,the coconut cream gives it a strange taste if anything . Food in fridge is sparse at the moment , so will have to improvise , 50 mins to the shops cannot be bothered .
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on July 02, 2017, 08:10:50 am: I bought the avocados to make that K Atie, but I ate them. A while back I made Tenina's raw lime tarts and they had avocado in them. I didn't tell anyone until they were eaten.

Last night we had Mushroom, Spinach and Cheddar soup. It was very nice. I made a loaf of bread to have with it.

Tonight is home made burgers and the rolls for that are rising.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on July 02, 2017, 12:31:11 pm: Cookie , hope you make the mousse it is nice . Nice soup , love mushrooms but DS does not and I have tried a few times too many . We had Tuna rice tonight . Easy to do just steam rice 250 -300gms and in varoma ,chopped veggies ( whatever you have in the fridge ) sometimes a few eggs in rice basket on top of rice for hard boiled egg . Largest tin of tuna in oil , Italian style , herbs , coriander and parsley . once cooked in a large bowl put cooked rice in stir through steamed vegetables, herbs ,add tuna and oil , Lemon juice S&p . Top with egg cut in half .
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on July 02, 2017, 12:59:36 pm: That sounds delicious. I often tuna for lunch most days. Sadly DH isn't super fond of it.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on July 02, 2017, 03:49:30 pm: I'm not over fond of Tinned tuna but do like tinned Salmon.
Tonight I grilled Lamb rump steaks, steamed mixed veggies and leftover fried rice. Mandarins for sweets.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on July 03, 2017, 03:50:36 am: I prefer tuna in cooked dishes and like you Chookie I prefer canned salmon straight from the tin. I have however put a small can of tuna into a potato & egg salad or a Russian salad and I do enjoy that way.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on July 03, 2017, 11:51:10 am: Love tinned salmon , try to get it when on special . Will let you know the tuna I use it is the only one I will attempt to eat . Tonight we had Skinnymixers roast pork and apple sauce , steaming pork belly in varoma then finishing it off in the oven " Yummy Mummy " yes a win .

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on July 07, 2017, 11:47:34 am: Judy, that looks delish. It is very similar to the veggie pizzas cooked at the Creswick swap.
Title: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on July 07, 2017, 12:31:43 pm: It looks very healthy and tasty Judy.
I made the Jaffa Mousse from TMix+ and we had that for dessert tonight. Even though it uses avocado I still found it rich, possibly not used to it now.
I put some natural yoghurt on it.

It was a bit overcooked Judy so would only do 15/20 minutes next time.

Post by: judydawn on July 17, 2017, 10:27:02 am: Happy birthday Mr Cookie, why not have what you want on your special day. I've got 2 dogs on my lap, don't know how I'll be able to get them off to prepare something as we've all had a tiring day.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mcmich on July 17, 2017, 10:36:13 am: Sweet photo Judy. Pizza for birthday dinner sounds amazing. What toppings on the pizza's?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on July 17, 2017, 12:45:00 pm: One is always pepperoni, cheese, red onion, capsicum, anchovies and mushrooms on a tomato base. Tonight the other was pesto base with roasted pumpkin, bacon and bocconcini.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on July 17, 2017, 01:57:16 pm: Happy Birthday from here also, Mr Cookie.
Pizzas sound good.
Tonight we had Recipe Tin Eats Mum Japanese Chicken Teriyaki. It was absolutely delicious. We had it with veggies steamed in Varoma. I would double the sauce if feeding 4 . Her tip about soaking up any fat that comes out of the chicken skin is a good idea.

Post by: mcmich on July 24, 2017, 09:05:21 am: Last night DH cooked cauliflower and chickpea curry with samosas. Good but the cauliflower could have been cooked a bit more.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on July 24, 2017, 10:04:38 am: He's a good cook Michele. A quick zap in the microwave would have fixed the cauli problem.
I had maple & soy glazed salmon with veggies.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on July 25, 2017, 01:43:11 am: Michele , It is very nice to have dinner cooked for you. Samosas take a fair bit of fiddle and these look good.
I am on a campaign to waste as little as possible. So tonight I will cook something to go with the rice I have in the fridge. Maybe prawns in garlic sauce.
I bought some silicon ice cream moulds from AA 's on line shop and am going to make ice cream on sticks. I thought I would make peppermint ones but Ral keep eating the Peppermint Crisps that I bought to put in them.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on July 25, 2017, 02:27:02 am: That's funny Chookie. The moulds look rather good. My mob don't eat homemade icecream at the moment. They prefer mini Drumsticks and Maxibons which DH buys on special. I may look at the moulds for them.

Tonight we are having toasted sandwiches. We are en route to Busselton for the day. DD's new car needs a long high speed run. She is on holidays so I'm sitting in the back seat enjoying the trip. It's a lovely vehicle.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mcmich on July 25, 2017, 08:26:58 am: Quiche sounds good. Chookie I'm on a use it up kick as well.
Will have to show Don your lovely compliments re his dinner effort.
It was great to come home after work and not have to think about dinner. I always clean up but DH is a very tidy cook so not much to do there either.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on July 25, 2017, 02:28:44 pm: Lucky you Michele. I do all the cooking and most of the cleaning up. I am not complaining as Ral does the ironing and the floors.
Cookie, enjoy your day out. Sounds lovely.

Better make some fried rice with leftover rice.

Last night was ok. A bit windy and 11mm of rain but I didn't need the port! If I'd been in the van I would probably have needed quite a lot!

Tonight's dinner is roast chicken.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on August 02, 2017, 12:20:34 pm: I used your No Fuss recipe Chookie. I used 100g rye flour in it and added Pepitas and sunflower seeds about 50 seconds before the kneading finished. I made 200g rolls ( which was a bit too large). As they did their final rise I put some Glad Bake over them and a tray to keep them fairly flat.
I love this recipe as I alter it all sorts of ways.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on August 03, 2017, 12:34:35 am: Thanks Cookie. Yes it a useful recipe. I add more water when I use wholemeal flour and when I make rolls put a tray on top when in the oven for the first 5 to 10 minutes. We like a flatter roll.
I will try your idea of putting the tray on before baking.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on August 09, 2017, 10:15:52 am: I had a batch of these ( http://www.recipetineats.com/spinach-and-ricotta-rolls/ ) in the freezer so I had some for tea tonight with a salad. Nice dipped in tomato sauce.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on August 10, 2017, 11:02:36 pm: That reminds me Judy. I need to make some more tomato sauce. My recipe has no onion, which is good as I have developed this intolerance to onion.
Lately I have been mixing plum sauce with sweet chilli sauce. Nice combination. Good with corn fritters and sour cream.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on August 11, 2017, 01:18:54 am: How difficult is this intolerance to onion it when dining out Chookie.

Post by: Cornish Cream on August 12, 2017, 08:21:08 pm: We had Creamy Lemon Butter Chicken (http://www.lalaskitchen.net/?p=886) last night. The chicken was cooked perfectly but I found the sauce very salty.DH enjoyed it ;D

Tonight I made Steamed Salmon Skewers with Coconut Basil and Lemon Sauce. (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=17395.msg422495#new) Delicious, both DH and I loved it. I have four skewers leftover, so will have these with a salad tomorrow.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on August 13, 2017, 12:07:47 am: Judy, a little onion isn't too bad. Raw onion or a pile of onions cooked or onion jam not good. Can have the green part of spring onions so often add this at the end when cooking.
CC, thanks for the recipe for the salmon. Looks good. Will try as we always have salmon in freezer. Sounds like dinner tonight.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: astarra on August 13, 2017, 10:21:05 am: We just finished bbq lamb chops (last years pet lambs :o ) , potato gems & zucchini muffins :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on August 13, 2017, 01:48:57 pm: Ended up baking a 1/2 leg of lamb. Will have to save the Salmon for another night.
I picked a Celeric bulb. It is a challenge how to prepare the different things I grow. Today I struck gold. I steamed 1/2 the celeric in the TMC basket. When cooked I added equal amount of white tinned beans, , lemon juice and some prepared horse radish cream. Mashed it all in TMX . Very nice. So now I have 2 dishes that I can cook with Celeric. The other is Rosti.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on August 14, 2017, 12:22:48 pm: I gathered things from the freezer, pantry and fridge to make my tea tonight (and tomorrow night too!).
Cooked chicken pieces & home made cream of mushroom soup from the freezer made a lovely pasta dish with a few added veggies. After cleaning out the pantry and freezers I will attempt to use up my bits and pieces to create meals. Why do I have so many packets of pasta and rice I wonder, cheap enough to just throw into the shopping trolley far too often I suspect.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on August 14, 2017, 12:40:06 pm: Judy, same here, lots of rice and pasta.
Lamb and salad flat bread rolls for lunch and nachos for dinner. After a day in the garden didn't feel like going to too much bother.

We also have 2 Engel car fridges. We only have one with us this trip. For longer trips we take 2 and use one as a freezer. We have managed to set ourselves up pretty well.

Tonight we were having a ragu in the SC with pasta, but I forgot to get out the meat last night and put it in the fridge, so I don't think it will defrost in time. That will be for tomorrow night.

I am back on my Louise Parker diet. Love this as many of the meals can be steamed in the Varoma trays.

No cream or evaporated milk in stock so I substituted 1/4 of a packet of Aldi's cheese sauce. Made it as per packet instructions then added all the other things Nagi had in her sauce, reducing quantities to serve 1. It was sooo delicious! Cooked in the air fryer 180 degrees for 9 minutes.

We called at the cheese factory and the Berry farm. I came back with a few jams and some yoghurt and cheese. The jams are ones it would cost me a fortune to make like Blackcurrant, Boysenberry and Blackberries, even if I could buy the berries/currants.

I put smoked salmon on the platter for DD and I and DH had a small tin of tuna on his. DH put mayonnaise on his and DD and I had cherry balsamic with EVOO. Oops forgot the snow pea sprouts.
It was delicious, with heaps left for tomorrow.

Nan's Country Kitchen Curried Tuna Slice

« on: July 16, 2012, 02:12:43 pm »

This is a very tasty slice from MJ's sister's blog Nan's Country Kitchen. I have converted it for the TMX. It makes 6 decent sized servings and is delicious.

Base
250g long grain rice
30g butter
1 egg
1/2 tspn lemon pepper (I used black pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice)

Filling
60g tasty cheese - next time I will use 80-100g
handful of parsley
45g butter
3 tblspns plain flour
1.5 tblspns curry powder (I used 1 tblspn for our tastes)
1/2 cup mayonnaise - 120g
1.5 cups milk - 375g (mine weighed 400g)
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspns lemon juice
450g tin tuna in springwater, drained and flaked

Line a large slice tin with baking paper.

Start a batch of Chookie's rice . For ease of this recipe I will post it here.

250g rice
480g of boiling water
salt

Tip rice into TMX bowl
Add boiling water
Set dial to 5 mins/ Varoma/ speed 1.
Tip into Thermoserver and set aside for 25 mins to finish cooking.

Clean the bowl then grate the cheese 5 sec/speed 8. Set aside.
Without cleaning the bowl, grate the parsley a few seconds on speed 8. Set aside, separate from the cheese.
Roughly rinse out the bowl, wipe out with a paper towel.
Melt the butter 1.5 mins/100o/speed 1.
Add flour and curry powder - cook 1.5 mins/100o/speed 1.
Add mayonnaise and milk. Cook 8 mins/90o/speed 4.

At this stage, turn the oven on to 180oC.

The rice should now be about ready to finish.

Add the egg, butter, pepper to the rice and spread it onto the prepared slice tin.

The sauce will now be ready to finish.

Add lemon juice, parsley, tuna and egg. Mix for 20sec/reverse/speed 2.

Pour onto the rice base and sprinkle with the grated cheese.

Bake 180oC 25-30 minutes.

This can also be made in a large pie plate and cooked approx 10 minutes longer. See Uni's photo further down in this thread.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on November 10, 2017, 07:06:53 am: Dessert pizzas are hard to get used to K Atie. We had our first one in Alice Springs many, many years ago. It was custard with peaches on and grilled. Nutella spread fairly thinly with bananas is nice.

Gert I hope they will serve you bubbles in your posh hotel. Please take care of yourself.

Post by: achookwoman on November 10, 2017, 09:18:45 pm: Picked a basket of Snow Peas. Have given lots away and find that 1 minute in the microwave is an excellent way to cook them.
Last night, steak , snow peas and chips in AF. Paw Paw.
Don’t think I could cope with a sweet Pizza. Did make a banana and lemon butter pie. Rather strange.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on November 24, 2017, 09:44:52 pm: It has been so hot lately but last night I decided to have pumpkin and asparagus risotto. It was really nice just used the old BCB mushroom recipe but added the pumpkin instead . I find using reverse speed 1.5 better than the butterfly . Added spinach leaves in the bottom of my oval thermosever and the asparagus copped up ( forgot to add during cooking ) then the risotto. Squeeze of lemon juice cut the creaminess.
Title: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on November 25, 2017, 07:45:43 am: Last night we had the Meat Loaf and Marinara sauce from Tenina's latest book. They were very nice.

Went to make this and DM cupboard risotto rice was far to old to use so a trip into the shops , so busy there was none on the shelves. Used my powers of observation and there on the top shelf was a box full of risotto rice . The staff were stacking the shelves as fast as they could , have to love summer holidays . Should have made more as all gone in a flash .

Post by: judydawn on January 08, 2018, 08:48:52 am: I have very full freezers at the moment (again!) and there are bits and pieces of everything in there. I had a tub of home made cream of celery soup and one of cream of mushroom so I built a meal around those 2 items. Both were able to be broken in 2 so I still have them for another meal down the track.

I microwaved 2 potatoes, cut them in slices and placed on the bottom of a casserole dish, sprinkled some grated cheese on top then topped with a 175g can of tuna and some frozen corn/peas. I mixed the 2 soups together with a bit of milk to thin the mixture, added 1/4 cup of frozen shallots and poured that over the top. Covered with very cheesy breadcrumbs and baked 30 minutes. It was very tasty, I will be eating it for the next 2 nights as this is the leftovers. If I do it again I’ll try cooked chicken instead of tuna as I have packs of that in the freezer too.

I'm debating whether or not to put the TMX away. I really don't use it. Took it away at Christmas with grand plans and only cooked 1 risotto in it. I haven't cooked anything since. If I don't use it within 6 months sell it. I could meal plan around it but my cooking has been off for at least 2 years now and I'm sick of wasting ingredients.

In the Summer I use it nearly every day, made protein balls and bread, sweet chilli sauce etc. Most is given away.
With your work and holidaying, it may be difficult for you to settle into a routine to use it.
If you could suggest what you would like to cook, maybe we could help you select a good recipe and work you through the recipe.

One thing I really like to make is your 2 second salad Chookie. May give that a whirl with the hot weather. Will see how I go. Thought my step daughter might use it more now that she has moved into the granny flat - she has a young MS client with 2 children and does all the food prep in her TMX5.
I would like a good basic grain based bread recipe, maybe a chicken recipe for the weekend as DH gets sick of vegetarian recipes 7 days a week.
Thanks Chookie - everyone here is so generous with there time and knowledge.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on January 23, 2018, 07:26:00 am: Michele, for a basic grain bread, just replace 100g of flour with whatever grain you fancy. Proceed as normal. I like to cook up the grain in a large batch on the stove. I collect whatever I have , put it in a large saucepan and cover well with cold water. Simmer for 20 minutes. Strain well and place in sandwich bags and freeze.
When you measure the water for the bread, make it hot and pour this over the frozen grain. Wait until the water is just warm and then add to the rest of the bread ingredients. Check that dough isn’t too wet as the grain can contain water. If looking wet add a tablespoon more flour.

With the 2 second salad , don’t over process it. If the chunks of veggies are large, it may take 3 seconds. 4 seconds usually makes mash.

For a good chicken recipe, look at main meals on the Forum. There are always lots of comments. This makes it easy to decide,
have you tried my Falafel recipe. ? It is best made in the TMX and they are delicious.
I use Mount Zero falafel mix and a can of organic Chickpeas.
The mix is bio-dynamic. I will post a photo of what the packet looks like.
Good luck, we have to get your TMX mojo back.

If I don't use it in the next couple of weeks, it will go. In the last 6 months I've made 1 risotto in it. I have 2 days off and will see how it goes. No motivation to use it really or to cook.

The next day you can cook veggies or make salads to go with it then you have leftover veggies or salad and you make a meat dish to go with that and so it goes on LOL.

Post by: judydawn on April 15, 2018, 12:20:38 pm: I had the same as last night but had chips instead of a jacket potato. The schnitzel made enough for 3 serves, I’m using 1 piece sliced finely in sandwiches for lunch for a few days.

Post by: cookie1 on April 19, 2018, 02:22:07 am: We love it Margaret. This time I used some leftover ham in it instead of bacon. I've discovered that if you leave it to sit for about 10-15 minutes before cooking it helps the impossible base to create itself.
It is even nicer cold.

I'm not sure what we will have tonight. either a stir fry or feta meatballs.

When I make these I add 1/3 of the beans into the mix early and add the others just to heat through. I find they don't break up as much.
Margaret your dinner sounds delicious. Our last night wasn't a rip roaring success. It was ok. I refer a more traditional mac n cheese. last night's sauce was buttermilk and yoghurt and it just wasn't right.
Tonight is skirt steak rolled with gherkin, ham and carrot in the centre. We love these, I cook it for several hours in stock.

Happy birthday, Mab, hope you have a lovely day. It certainly seems to be birthday season .. it was mine last week, then Judy's Geoff's, followed 3 days later by my cousin, then my sister the next day, my friend the day after that and Ral's today!

It was like this when we lived in Hong Kong as well, there were about 7 of us who had birthdays very close to each other so we would hire a junk and sail around the islands with picnic baskets and booze generally having a great time ... until the year the junk we hired broke down and the water police had to come and take us all off! :o

Grate some cheese over the top and cook. The potato needs to be very thin or even par cook it first.

Post by: judydawn on August 12, 2018, 03:01:14 am: I’ve made this recipe Chookie https://www.skinnytaste.com/crust-less-summer-zucchini-pie/
I posted it on one of the pie maker groups. Preheated pie maker, cooked them 15 minutes, turned and cooked 2 minutes. They freeze well and I heat in microwave for breakfast. Not sure how much mixture I put in each one nor how many I made, I must be more specific in my own note book.

Post by: achookwoman on August 13, 2018, 12:03:01 pm: K ATIE, great to see the kids cooking. It is an essential life skill.
Had lunch with a friend today. A neighbor had given her a loaf of SD bread that he had baked in an outdoor wood oven. Although not perfect, it was delicious.
We had some with tomato soup out of the tin.

Made 5 jars of Lemon and carrot Marmalade. ( posted ). We grew the lemons so wanted to use the entire lemons.
4 loaves of SD in oven. 2 in each long tin. 2 fruit and nut and 2 plain. All made with Bio Dynamic Wholemeal flour.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on August 14, 2018, 12:26:54 pm: K ATIE, did you roast the Kale/ Brussel Sprouts?

Cookie, Ral is mapping your journey ;D he said to congratulate DH for his appointment to the official group doing the overseeing of the restored cars.

The new chicken dish was very nice. Also very easy if using pre boned chicken thighs. The Miso in the marinade chars up nicely when grilled and the chicken is moist and tender.
Will post recipe.

We are going to have Salmon with a mixed salad.

Post by: judydawn on August 21, 2018, 11:57:09 pm: I had no eggs in which to dip the fish so I diluted aioli with milk and that worked a treat, the cheesy crumbs stuck beautifully Denise. I served the 2 pieces of snapper with cauli-au-gratin and a huge jacket potato.

Today I’m having zucchini slice & chips for lunch and soup for tea. I have some stewed quinces for dessert and will make some custard to go with that.

Whilst I’m still finding things to get me through the day I will not go shopping, there is plenty of meat in the freezer but I’m trying to get through all the pre-cooked items.

I have just defrosted the little freezer and as that was getting low I was able to put everything from there into the spare drawers of the upright freezer. Just how long I can leave the small one turned off remains to be seen once I start cooking and buying again but I have been trying for 5 years to turn this one off LOL.

Post by: mab19 on August 22, 2018, 01:00:01 am: You are doing well without going shopping Judy. DIL says my freezer looks like I am getting ready for Armageddon.

Judy I am not dieting. I have a problem with my oesophagus which goes into spasms, soft food seems to help a bit
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on August 22, 2018, 07:32:16 am: I’ve had an endoscopy recently as food was getting stuck in my oesophagus Margaret. I too was mainly eating soft food but after the endoscopy and being put on tablets for reflux it is all good now. Your problem is obviously a lot worse than mine, I would have a drink and the food would go the rest of the way so the pain was only for a short time.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on August 23, 2018, 07:57:12 am: Touch wood I have never had an endoscopy. Judy and Margaret I feel for you. On of the ladies at our bookclub has a simi8lar problem Margaret. She was going for another endoscopy but has sadly left bookclub so I can't tell you what was being done, if anything. It sounds awfully uncomfortable.

Post by: achookwoman on August 23, 2018, 11:02:44 pm: Judy, well done with the freezer. There is a feeling of great insecurity when the freezers are empty. Must get over this. The trouble is I often like to decide at the last minute what we will have for Dinner or lunch. Not much good at meal planning.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on August 25, 2018, 12:53:08 pm: I do the same with meals , last minute and depends on energy level. Last night we had bangers and mash with caramelized onions from Simply delicious, mash was cauliflower and soya beans ( frozen) . Really good lamb sausages .

Had some frozen Turkey loaf in freezer so reheated this. All served with green beans and Celeriac purée. I grew the Celeriac and it is in a different league altogether than the bought stuff. I poached it in milk with a fresh bay leaf.

Post by: Cuilidh on September 23, 2018, 04:58:04 am: Your mention of spag. bol., Chookie, reminded me of a near disaster my colleague at work experienced last week. He was making it for dinner and discovered he had no sugar and all he could find was some strawberry jam ... so he put a dollop of that in. He said it was the best spag. bol. he had ever had. The following day I was reading an article about unlikely complementary tastes and tomatoes with strawberries was one, so the spag bol emergency turned out to be an acknowledged taste combination.

Tonight we are having a hummus pasta dish (I am pretty sure hummus and pasta did not appear in the abovementioned article!).

We are very lucky that he’s a great cook Chookie. I’m sure he would love visiting Australia.
He says he going to make a Chocolate Cream Pie for a dessert Christmas Day. If I remember I will take a photo of the pie.

I haven’t cooked anything for a while and I wasn’t really even hungry tonight but this potato dish came to mind and I had to make them. Mum used to give them to me for breakfast occasionally when I was a kid and I love them as did my girls.

Mock fish as Mum called them.

I hated it and would always trade it with one of the day girls who always had ryvita and cheese. It was preferable to the mock chicken.

Tonight's dinner is Chilli con carne from the freezer and I am going to try a cauliflower waffle recipe.

Cookie, DD gave the fish to an elderly couple. It was caught in a river in northern Victoria. She usually releases the fish she captures. She is an excellent fisher person. The club she belongs to wanted to enter her in the Fly Fishing World Championships. She declined as she has 2 children to look after. Shame as it would have put Australian fly fishing women on the world map.
I wish it was from our dam.

Post by: cookie1 on January 04, 2019, 02:47:26 am: Your DD sounds a wonderful fisher woman. That's brilliant. I have never tried fly fishing, I don't think I would be very good at it. I'm better at dangling bait over the side of a boat.

I know it's not the time of year down here for it, Margaret, but if you are off meat, stews and soups without meat in them are great and take very little time and effort - butternut soup from the EDC* takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish - add rinsed red lentils and some cashews for an extra protein 'hit' and there you have it.

* If it's the same version of the EDC that I have.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on February 19, 2019, 05:54:40 am: Margret what about a quick salad , carrot with fresh ginger coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice or broccoli salad .
Last night I had Skinnymixers roast , steamed pork with apple sauce and roast vegetables.

We walked down the street and picked up a chicken breast and a couple of rashers of bacon. In Margaret River today we bought a rye SD loaf and a Seeded SD loaf. We will put it all together tonight with salad and make a burger.
I had a lovely chat with the man at the bakery. He feeds his starter up over night, goes to work in the morning and makes the breads, then let’s them rise and bakes them. He said he has fresh bread around 3-4 in the afternoon. It was a little old factory unit next door to a junk shop in the industrial area. The bread is very nice.
Excuse the picture but it was taken in the van. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190321/e326ad23d840d88756ad406a51ef0683.jpg)

Judy I will eat the rye and DH and DD may eat some of the seeded bread, if not I will enjoy it. They prefer something like the Classic bread. I put seeds and oat bran in it and also some Wholemeal flour or spelt.

No Chookie, you could but I used this new gadget which I love. Easy to wash and it clamps to the benchtop really well. I used the medium sized grater for zucchini and carrot (2 of each) for a side dish the night before. I stir fry the veggie mixture in butter until cooked and caramelised and just added the leftovers to a pkt of noodles I found in the pantry from a showbag from last year along with some coconut cream leftovers (also from the freezer) and a splash of keptis manis.

Bay leaves. I planted a bay tree at Invermay especially for this. Brown sugar, vinegar and peppercorns. If you use some of the liquid to make a mustard sauce it is especially nice.
We love it served with TMX mashed potatoes. You could use a sugar substitute.

I haven’t had a chicken roast dinner for ages Judy and looking at yours I want one now. 😋😂
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on April 17, 2019, 10:43:55 pm: CC, no they weren’t Wholemeal but did look like it. I think it was the spice that gave them the colour and the SD the texture. These were written up in the newspaper as being the 2 nd best buns available. The first place went to a baker I have never heard of.
Judy, chicken dinner looks great.

They work so hard at seeding time K Atie and the weather is always horrid
. I can remember not seeing Dad for many days at a time as a kid. He was gone when I got up and not back when I went to bed. At least at harvest you are governed by the dampness and the capacity of your field bins.

We are having RTE parmesan coated chicken.

Check out Skinnymixers version Chookie and adapt that to what ingredients you have. There are plenty of TMX curried sausages recipes online and some on our forum too. https://skinnymixers.com.au/coconut-curried-sausages-thermomix/
Men in particular love their curried sausages.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on June 13, 2019, 08:21:01 am: Always use Skinnymixers curried sausages. Lots of sauce so add vegetables too.
Going to try Ottolenghi ‘s Puy lentil and aubergine stew from Simlple . Could do in the thermo but going stove top tonight. Hopefully DH like the break from protein.

Post by: achookwoman on June 14, 2019, 12:01:19 am: Thanks for the suggestions for the curried sausages. Didn’t get around to making them last night. Will do today.
We have had an explosion of new eating places in Ballarat. Thought we would try one yesterday to celebrate Rals Platelet increase. The one we tried was a fried chicken place. It was like KFC only much nicer. Probably not very healthy. It tasted and looked just like my original KFC TMX recipe. I went and spoke to the 2 young chefs who own the place and gave them some feed back. I said the spice was perfect but too much batter on one serve. They agreed about the batter. We could only eat 1/2 of what we ordered and they packed up the leftovers to take home.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on June 14, 2019, 01:39:05 am: The silverside in the oven was a success. DH gave it the thumbs up, so we are having it again tonight with potato mash, carrots and brussel sprouts.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on July 18, 2019, 07:36:35 am: I grew up having jam and cream at lunch time. We had yummy clotted cream from our own cows, taken from the top of the milk after Mum had scalded it. It is no wonder I have a weight problem as everyone in the family would take their cream they wanted and then I would use all the rest. When now DH used to come up he couldn't understand this jam and cream idea on bread at lunch. His upbringing was European. I don't think we ever convinced him either.

DD is on holidays for the next 2 weeks and doesn't like salad for lunch as that is what she has a work every day. It will be handy for all of us in this freezing weather. She probably won't each much of it as she will be out and about.

Cookie, your comment is interesting about how you don’t like some recipe developers recipes. I have found also that I don’t like the recipes of some cooks and just love those of others. I also think some are also easier to convert to TMX. I can’t find fault with .jill Dupleix and love American Dorrie Greensplans biscuits. Could make a long list :o

Yes it was TurkishDelight. Looked like dried crushed Rose petals on top. Staying at the Sofitel was incredible. The staff went out of their way to spoil us. DIL met us for morning tea. Although the dining room was closed they served us coffee and Danish pastries for her. We are Plus members of the AccorHotels group. We were on a package. In the end we paid 1/2 the going rate.
It was a shock coming home to Ballarat.
I drove most of the way home. Feeling very pleased with self.
Dinner tonight. Something from freezer.

Post by: judydawn on August 17, 2019, 05:28:10 am: I love to see people spoil themselves and you guys certainly did that for this getaway. Well done Chookie & Ral and Sofitel. You must do it again some time.

Post by: cookie1 on August 18, 2019, 01:24:38 pm: Your Sofitel experience sounded lovely Chookie. You deserve spoiling.
We had Stromboli for dinner. A straight forward dough spread with a sun dried pesto, ham, pepperoni, mozzarella, a little Parmesan and a few basil leaves. Very tasty and leftovers for DH tomorrow.

I always find I can fit everything back in after a freezer defrost or tidy up Chookie, it works like magic and all of a sudden there is space which in no time gets filled LOL.

I had my main meal for lunch as I often do so I tried a Costco beef bolognaise sauce over thin spaghetti. It was really nice so I will buy that product again, for me it works out to $2.50 a meal.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on August 22, 2019, 06:14:30 am: Brilliant price Judy. We are having haloumi again with cannelloni beans in a curry sauce. We will have rice with it. I haven't got time to make naan this afternoon so unless DD wants to make it we won't be having any.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on August 22, 2019, 01:45:20 pm: Italian style Chicken Casserole from freezer. Enough for tomorrow as well. I bought a chicken for $8. Cut it in 1/2. 4 meals out of each 1/2. Added a tin of Italian tomatoes and olives. Rosemary and parsley from garden.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on August 24, 2019, 11:03:31 pm: We also had Pizzas for lunch yesterday. It was nice for a change. I made 1/2 dough recipe and it makes 4 pizza bases. Used Polish sausage , Mozzarella and made tomato sauce for base with a tin of diced Italian tomato with added Italian herbs and onion tops.
For dinner last night, grilled fish from Queen Vic Market. Made a pasta bake from Ratatouille mixed with home made pasta , topped with cheese and Panko crumbs. Made lots. I always lightly spray crumbs with oil before I bake. Gives a lovely finish.

I was about to say the opposite, Cookie ... but then I am a vegetarian and that would account for not liking the smell, although the smell of bacon on a barbecue or in a frying pan still hits all my "I would love some of that" buttons!

So rice in the bottom of the bowl then add tinned red salmon ( this is all we had must have been on special for me to buy this ) usually use raw fish salmon tuna . Ememade beans , cooked zucchini asparagus, sesame seeds and chai seeds . A squeeze of lemon. Basically use whatever you like so delicious. A lot of the places have a sauce or mayo sauce , for some strange reason kids seem no not add these . Enjoy summers trendy dish .

All FODMAP friendly.

It then had thin threads of molasses over it. It was the stand out dish , after the Prawns.
Last night DDIL cooked us Pizza for dinner. She also made Lamingtons with a filling of jam and a creamy mousse.

I’m now on a very low fat diet. Not much fun. I could send Judy all the butter and oil over.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on November 17, 2019, 02:13:15 am: Oh, Chookie, you will find this change to your diet challenging. I hope you are able to come to terms with it soon. Michael Mosley (it is him behind the 5:2 and Fast 800 diets) has a book called the Heart Blood diet, or something like that. It may be worth getting your hands on a copy, it should be in the local book store ... if not, let me know and I'll pick one up for you.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on November 17, 2019, 04:06:51 am: I’m going well here. Bacon, egg and mushrooms for breakfast, beef salad for lunch and I’ll be making chicken soup for tea. Last night I made a rosti out of turnip seeing as I can’t eat potato, surprising what you can find to take the place of forbidden foods. I think a low calorie diet is harder Chookie, I was always hungry on that diet but with Keto I’m not looking for snacks between meals at all. I often don’t have tea until 7 because I’m just not hungry. Good luck Chookie. Marina your meals sound delicious.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on November 17, 2019, 09:31:36 pm: Marina, thanks. I do have that book and hadn’t thought to use it. Will now. The enzyme pills and cutting out most fat seems to be working.
Judy I couldn’t agree more. The fat certainly fills you up. Protein also helps. I do miss the butter.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on November 18, 2019, 11:01:34 am: I follow my good old diabetic sort of diet. I know I could cut back and lose some more weight, but I do like my food.
I have 2 weetbix for breakfast and a cup of tea. I use hi-lo milk on the weetbix. Lunch is some sort of protein, often a tin of tuna and heaps of salad. with 2 slices of sourdough bread for my carbs. Dinner is whatever is going, making sure I have good carbs, protein and lots of vegies. I have a skim milk coffee in the am and then another in the pm. Sometimes a bit of fruit too.

Wow Judy that’s amazing.

I dugout a batch of Beef Bourguignon from the freezer and a portion of mash that DS had given us. Served them with steamed sprouts.

Cookie that sounds pretty good.
CC, I keep thinking about you and cooking in the caravan. You seem to be eating well.
Last night I made Black pepper and Sage Risotto from my Blog. I added some prawns and salmon at the end. It was delicious and enough for Dinner tonight also. I’ll just add a little water and reheat in the microwave.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on November 19, 2019, 03:52:25 am: Well done to those of you who are dieting. I know I should lose a bit of weight but I just don't have the will power at the moment.

We are having fresh flake for dinner tonight, caught by DS. Will have small roast potatoes /chips done in the AF with beans & baby carrots as well.

I love your risotto recipe Chookie, only thought about that one just before starting on my low carb diet so out of the question for a while now. It’s on the forum as well as your blog, https://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=9739.0

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on November 20, 2019, 12:26:45 am: The Black pepper and Sage Risotto is very tasty. I cut the butter in half and the 2 teaspoons of Black Pepper may be a bit strong for some people. The fresh sage leaves are fab when crisped in the butter.
I also stirred a packet of small prawns in at the end. It reheats very well in Microwave with an extra bit of Chicken stock stirred in.

Dinner tonight is Coronation Chicken and salad as it is very warm today. Pears for Pud.

I would like that but RAL wouldn’t. The only meal we eat different things is breakfast . We each get our own. I sometimes like to have a grilled Smoked Kipper or Black Pudding. He has the same thing every morning. Weetbix and milk and a poached egg on toast.
Tonight Spag Bol. Mango fluff. We are having a visitor for lunch tomorrow and will make the Fluff for Sweets. The recipe makes 6 serves.

I love Mango Fluff it's a lovely dessert.

Tonight for dinner we are having flake from the freezer, home made chips, cauli, broccoli & carrot with stewed rhubarb, apple & orange for dessert. Might make some custard to go with it as it much too cold here for icecream.

Post by: cookie1 on December 14, 2019, 08:13:52 am: We are having crayfish, salad and fresh bread. I haven't had crayfish for a very, very long time. DH helped a former pupil buy a Model A last week and has given him some help. This lovely man goes diving for crays and gave us some. They are looking so very appetising and lovely and fresh. I think they were only caught yesterday.

Post by: JulieO on December 14, 2019, 09:37:01 pm: I haven't had lobster for many years either Cookie, I bet it will be wonderful! :D

I had the last of the Skinnymixer's chicken & sweet corn soup last night, just what I felt like. Will be making more in the next couple of days as I really enjoyed it and it's nice to have as a standby.

Making a recipe from the UK Cookidoo today for DH (made the filling yesterday) and will finish it off today. :)

Post by: achookwoman on December 14, 2019, 09:39:01 pm: Cookie, what a meal!! Love Cray Fish. $100 a kilo in Vic Market. So that makes it really $200 a kilo when you allow for the shell.
Cooked a new Neil Perry recipe last night. Simple marinade for chicken thighs to be grilled. It was fab. Will post recipe. Also stuffed Capsicum
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on December 15, 2019, 03:20:03 am: The beef pot pies worked out well, the pastry especially was lovely. Would add a bit more seasoning to the beef filling.

I jazzed it up a bit as in I made it into; 1 pot pie with the pastry top, 1 pie made in a pie tin, pastry top and bottom and finally 4 pie maker pies (the larger Sunbeam ones), using the pastry for the bases and puff for the tops.
My preference going on looks alone was using the pie tins. :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on December 15, 2019, 04:35:15 am: Thanks for that JulieO. I will have a good look at it. I like the UK Cookidoo recipes.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on December 15, 2019, 10:02:47 am: They look gorgeous Julie and the filling looks so tasty. You certainly go to a lot of trouble with your recipe testing. I love home made pies a little too much I’m afraid which is probably why I am now dieting!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cornish Cream on December 15, 2019, 04:32:29 pm: All those look delicious Julie 😋
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on December 15, 2019, 08:16:23 pm: Thank you girls, I enjoyed making them :D
I had a free day as I've been busy the last few so it was nice to spend time on them.

Judy I agree regarding pies. Shop bought don't come close to home made. I usually use my pie maker when using left overs and that is great for DH to take to work where they have a pie warmer in their crib room. He can take a frozen one (pre-cooked) and by the time it's lunch time they have defrosted and re-heated really well, but I like the more rustic look of individual pie tin pies especially when served with veg etc as a main. :D

Post by: achookwoman on December 15, 2019, 08:48:14 pm: Julie, lovely photos as usual. How I have missed them!!
Not a great pie fan myself but Ral loves them. But I do love a Cornish Pasty.
Last night I made pizzas, to try in the BBQ. I used a new Le Creuset pizza tray. It was not as good a those cooked in the Electric Pizza Machine. The base was cooked too much and the top and edges not enough.
However the Weber people recommend a Pizza stone so next time I will try this. I will keep the Le Creuset dish for the oven or maybe give it away.

Thanks Chookie. I agree about the pizza maker. I've had mine for many years now and get it out whenever I'm making pizzas, it's the best way to cook them and so quick.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on December 16, 2019, 01:29:21 am: I was having a clear out when the new kitchen was installed and mine went in the bin! The stone slab in it was too stained to give it away and to make a pizza for 1 my a/f does the job nicely.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

I enjoyed playing with the BBQ as it is different to previous ones. I am learning and will play with it until I can use it to its full potential. I would like to bake bread in it. That will be a real challenge.

Today I did make Skinnymixers butter chicken, a bit of effort! But so nice steamed rice and packed up three butter chicken dinners for the boys and the contract header man ( hope he doesn’t want dinner like that every night ) . Dinner Uber me !
Also made Tenia’s Killer Vanilla icecream for our 45 degree day .

This is a favourite in our house , baby spinach balanced asparagus sugar snap peas, thin rice glass noddles( done in the thermosever) steak sliced and pomegranate sauce !
Harvest Contractor got steak and veg , thoughts may be to gourmet for him .
There is something about delivering to the paddock , DS meet us roadside in the Ute ! He had to hop off the articulator tractor with a 45 tonne chaser bin behind it to get their meals , so good as he then dropped off meal to Contractor and his dad on the other header , farm life .
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on December 21, 2019, 09:59:23 pm: I love watching RTE's little videos, she makes everything look wonderful.

Just had a look at that book Cornish. That meal looks really tasty, though I would need to reduced some of the spices to suit. Some of the other recipes look good too and I think I'll make the cardamom shortbreads when I've made some ghee. Thanks for bringing this book to my attention, there's just so many. ;D

Yesterday I made the Tikka sauce (from the Chicken tikka flatbread) recipe in the 'Family table' UK book, in readiness of making the rest of it today. Will make my own naan bread though, see how it goes. :D

Edited to add; You sound very busy K Atie :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on December 22, 2019, 10:00:57 am: CC, I am fascinated by the amount of Indian food cooked in England, Although I understand the historical background it still fascinates me.
KAtie you are really spoiling those hard working boys. I’m sure they appreciate it.
Julie, I love the way you will have a go at any interesting recipes. I love Cardamon in shortbread biscuits. The ones I have made have a touch of jam on top.
I feel exhausted at being in Melbourne. I think it is the noise as well as the number of people. I have always thought I was a city girl but seem to have become countrified.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on December 22, 2019, 11:33:50 am: Loved that Indian cook book too. Melbourne is crazy busy at this time of year Chookie ,so you are fine to think that .
Late in tonight after moving paddocks ! So risotto with asparagus, boys will come home for very very late dinner .
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on December 22, 2019, 09:13:46 pm: DH loved the Tikka chicken flatbread meal I made yesterday for him. I halved the recipe to make 2 serves, so he'll have the other serve tonight. Was all made in the TM; the tikka sauce, the naan bread and I sautéed the chicken on High heat in the machine instead of in a frypan as per recipe. I made the full tikka sauce so I've frozen the rest of it to make this meal again another time. :D

My DH is so easy going, he doesn't mind having the same meal 2 days in a row at all. My meals are usually 2 serves too so I do the same. :D

After Christmas my plan is to start clearing out my freezer and the slow cooker will be handy for this. Can make some wonderful meals adding bits and pieces that quite often you can't replicate again. ;D

Post by: achookwoman on December 26, 2019, 08:37:07 pm: It is lovely to share the leftovers. I deliberately bought extra ham and turkey so I could give some to friends and family who wouldn’t be cooking. Although I cooked the turkey breast in the SC as RTE suggested, the whole turkey that I cooked using my traditional method was much moister. This is not surprising as turkey breast is notoriously dry.

When it does it ‘breaks’ in a big way Marina. 😀😀😀😀

We are having thinly sliced steak, spread with Dijon mustard, slivers of carrot and ham rolled inside it and slow cooked in the frying pan for about an hour. I usually put some veggie stock in the water and then boil it down and thicken it for gravy.

Made fish & chips (chips done in actifry so only 3 tsp oil) for DH and GS with salad followed by apple crumble. I made some unsweetened apple sauce a few days ago so put some in ramekins and used up some uncooked crumble that I had in the freezer for the top. Went down a treat. :D

Hope you feel better soon DJ, a chest infection wouldn't be fun.

Thanks Judy. Yes he's been enjoying most things I've made and I've enjoyed having an extra person to cook/bake for ;D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 04, 2020, 12:46:01 pm: Mine too cookie but unfortunately I can’t have baked beans on this Keto way of eating. I did make myself a big omelette with a filling of spinach, cheese and tomato tonight.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on January 04, 2020, 11:06:39 pm: After reading Cookie and Judys meals, I have come to the conclusion that I like most food. There isn’t much that I don’t enjoy. That is probably why I enjoy Julies eye candy , also.!
Tonight, chicken breast some way. As it’s cold today, steamed veggies.

Judy I made a nice one on NYE for my dinner. Another MB recipe which had sweetcorn, toms, spinach and spring onions as the filling with a sprinkle of parmesan. I used a 20cm frypan which was too small so made it hard to flip it properly without breaking open. Didn't matter though as it tasted good. Will use a bigger pan next time. :D

We're having Parmesan Chicken tonight with something or other.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on January 06, 2020, 06:46:11 am: Thank you Cookie, and Mab enjoy your meal out. :D

Well this soup was delicious! It’s a recipe from Tmix+ mag #14, called ‘Spiced cauliflower & dumpling soup’.

I decided to try out using the High Heat mode for cooking the onions at the beginning then carried on with the recipe from the mag, it worked a treat.

I used chicken stock instead of veg as we prefer the flavour, reduced the paprika somewhat and except for maybe cutting the cauli florets a bit smaller so I wouldn’t need to cook it for 4 mins longer which made the dumplings break apart a bit, it turned out excellent and no uncooked onion taste at all :P, was so good.

DH has asked if I could make him some for work, especially for nightshift. I have enough of everything so will do that in the next couple of days.

I didn’t serve any bread with the soup as I was planning on making a dessert. I made RTE’s ‘Butterscotch self-saucing pudding’. I used her ingredients and quantities but used Tenina’s method. One quirky thing I did was instead of boiling the kettle to make hot water for the sauce, I used the function I didn’t think I would ever use; the Boil kettle mode. I put the right amount of water in the empty bowl and set it to that mode and stopped it when the water started to boil onto the lid. Added the other sauce ingredients and carried on with the recipe. I had a taste and it was really nice, not as overly sweet like some I've tasted.

It made 7 serves, so I've put 6 lots into containers and made a runny custard to pour over as a lot of the sauce has now soaked into the cake. They are now in the freezer. It was a good day cooking. ;D

Sorry to hear you had a bad day Marina, I hope you enjoyed the meal you had delivered.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on January 06, 2020, 09:13:26 pm: Last night I cooked a very large chicken in the BBQ. Made my own rub to give it a bit of flavour. Ground some Kefir ? Lime leaves and Thyme with salt and pepper. Rubbed generous amount over chicken. Took 2 hours to cook and was moist and tasty. Plenty left for tonight.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 07, 2020, 05:24:51 am: I might have the same as I did for lunch today, there’s 1 serve left and 12 uncooked pork & veal meatballs in the freezer for another time. I served 3 meatballs (cooked 6 in the air fryer) with creamy, garlicky zoodles and poured a little home made passata over them. I’ll check out some different sauces to try for the next 2 batches I cook. I’m spending most of my evenings looking at Keto websites and printing out recipes, I’ll eventually put together some cookbooks with all my favourite recipes. It’s very time consuming but I’m really enjoying myself.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on January 07, 2020, 05:33:29 am: The best part is that you are enjoying yourself Judy.
I have book club tonight so it will be something fairly quick and easy. Probably fish, chips and salad.

Post by: judydawn on January 07, 2020, 07:10:47 am: What’s a chip cookie LOL. If ever I’m going to crave anything it will be a chip but if I do then I’ll make some out of turnips, so many things to try yet.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on January 07, 2020, 08:00:59 pm: Looks yum Judy. I do the same regarding recipes, except all mine are on my laptop. If I can't copy and paste, I type out the recipe in a word document with any changes I've made, tips etc and add my photo. It makes it much easier the next time I get around to cooking it again.

I'm making a meal for me tonight out of Alyce Alexander's 'Low Carb' book; 'Chicken Puttanesca'. Am interested to see what the sauce turns out like as will do my High Heat for the onions to start off ;D

I've had this ebook for years and I can't remember ever cooking anything out of it, shameful as there looks like some nice ones in it. Same with her Super Healthy book, have earmarked some of the breakfasts, look right up my alley. ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on January 07, 2020, 08:49:31 pm: Glad to see Julie and Judy both enjoying searching for recipes . I can spend a whole doing that. Then I turn around and make something up. I suppose I am inspired but want to use what I have .
Tonight, Chicken Chow Mein.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on January 07, 2020, 11:25:59 pm: I'm another one who loves looking at recipes. I have so many on my computer but usually end up making a favourite recipe.

Steak, chips and steamed veg here tonight.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on January 08, 2020, 02:00:24 am: Judy can you have sweet potato chips? I guess not. How would parsnip ones go?

I spend ages looking at recipe books, both ebooks and real ones. I even have some that I say aren't really for cooking, just reading. eg Adriano Zumbo's books. Each week when I menu plan I have books around me, I spend more time looking at them than menu planning.

Tonight we are having Shepherd's Pie. (not much recipe looking for that one!) I picked up some lovely fresh beans at the Italian grocer and want to use them today.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 08, 2020, 04:50:15 am: This is the veggie list I can eat cookie
List of the Best Low Carb Vegetables for your Keto Diet
Spinach.
Broccoli.
Cauliflower.
Zucchini.
Mushrooms.
Celery.
Eggplant.
Squash.

Some ideas for “keto chips” include:
Cheese chips
Radish chips
Cucumber chips
Kale chips

I believe I could have celeriac or turnip ‘chips’, it depends on who is providing the information. These 2 are higher in carbs so if you are having under 20 g carbs per day they would be out of the question. I guess once you reach your goal and go into maintenance some foods could be added as long as they are relatively low in carbs. Easier to just stick with what I know I can have. I don’t profess to know too much but Mr Google is very helpful, he must get sick of me asking if I can have this or that on Keto LOL.

Post by: judydawn on January 08, 2020, 08:06:42 am: What a great picture Julie, it’s hard to tell the difference between the real thing and the picture. When I first started doing Keto I had apples, oranges and bananas on hand but none were allowed on Keto. Very limited in the fruit range.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on January 08, 2020, 08:16:38 pm: Judy, local cafe has Zuchinni chips. Everyone loves them. I told GD I would try and make some.
Have a feeling that they have a VERY fine batter of some sort. Have a feeling the batter is beaten egg, a little water and a very small amount of soft bread crumbs.
One of my all time favourite dishes is Cauli soup. Often just very good homemade chicken stock and Cauli. All in TMX.

Post by: judydawn on January 09, 2020, 12:32:23 pm: Chookie I think Keto sprinkle parmesan cheese on zucchini sticks instead of crumbs, I might try them one day. I like zucchini done any way other than boiling or steaming them, they’re pretty tasteless without some flavour added.

I didn't use what was suggested as the base and instead I baked the mixture in 2 small silicone flan moulds (9cm x 3cm deep) so it was more a crustless quiche. Really enjoyed it served with simple salad leaves and a couple of quartered cherry toms. I'll have the other serve tomorrow.

Haven’t got time to experiment at the moment though, too many other jobs needing to be done. Made some chicken soup with Costco chicken frames, had some for lunch but I think I’d better get rid of other items in the fridge for dinner tonight. It’s quite cool though so a bowl of soup would go down well.

Post by: JulieO on January 24, 2020, 06:09:18 am: I started early in preparation of our little bbq today for the 3 of us. I made 8 hot dog rolls from the Barbecue collection on Cookidoo, then using the High Heat collection, made a half lot of the BBQ onions.

DH cleaned up the Weber Q and I cooked some nice sausages to go on the rolls, topped with the onions and a squirt of ketchup. We all loved it. I was really happy how everything turned out.

I've got some strips of chicken thighs marinating overnight now for the Skinnymixers recipe; BBQ chicken kebabs (Healthy mix IV) which I'll thread on skewers before cooking on the barbie tomorrow. Will serve with a simple salad. Hopefully they will be nice.

I've frozen the 5 remaining rolls to use as needed.

Post by: JulieO on January 25, 2020, 10:49:06 pm: Flatbreads look good Cookie :D

The chicken skewers were a success and towards the end of cooking I brushed with some BBQ sauce I made earlier (from the BBQ book on cookidoo - I even bought the bourbon just to make it). It really intensified the colour and added a lovely flavour to them. The chicken was so tender and paired nicely with a simple salad of green leaves and cherry toms.
DH had 2 skewers and GS and I had 1. Will definitely make these again.

I also made apple crisp for the 2 men. Only a small serve each but they loved it. When tasting I thought it a bit sweet but they weren't complaining. The filling only took 6 mins in my electric pressure cooker. I then added the topping (which I mixed in the TM) and grilled it in the same machine. Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on January 28, 2020, 09:43:52 am: I made a meal that Cornish recommended a while back from the UK cookidoo Indian book called Nadan mutta (egg curry).

When a recipe calls for passata I usually just blend a can of chopped toms and use that but this morning I saw a 330ml bottle of cherry tomato passata and thought I'd try that. It stood out as it was in a brown glass bottle otherwise I wouldn't have noticed it. Anyway it has now made me want to use tinned cherry toms that I will puree when a recipe calls for passata.

I changed up the recipe a little bit but the spoonful I had was so full of flavour, I could see this sauce going really well with prawns or chicken as a change to the eggs. DH loved it.

I had Skinnymixers chicken caesar salad (from Healthy Mix 1) which was really good too though I did change that up a bit too. As I was cooking 6 eggs for the curry and I needed 3 for this recipe, I decided to cook the 9 eggs by a different method than in the TM which led to me not steaming the chicken in the Varoma either. I ended up cooking the seasoned chicken in the frypan used to cook the short cut bacon and cashews, I'd do it this way again. The dressing was lovely, really enjoyed it.

I halved the recipe to make 3 serves, so will have another serve tomorrow and use the remaining serve as a side salad to go with a meal for DH.

Chookie, I see Women's Weekly have just brought out a cookbook targeted to making pies in the pie maker. I haven't looked inside it to see what it's like but I will do so when I see a copy. I hear it's much cheaper in BigW.

Such a light but satisfying meal and the sauce was delicious. We've each got another serve to have today and I will definitely make again soon and serve with rice noodles for DH to make a bit more filling, I wouldn't mind doubling the sauce part too as that really made it.

https://cookidoo.com.au/recipes/recipe/en-AU/r70567

Keeping with using up freezer stock, I also used 4 fruit scones from the freezer (2 Tenina's cherry streudel and 2 blueberry ones) which I pulled into chunks and put into a small baking dish. Used a small pot of homemade unsweetened apple sauce also from the freezer poured on top and heated it in my small oven on low until nice and hot.

I used a custard recipe from rec comm by Thermomumma which was for a thick custard. That was really nice and done within 10 mins. Was lovely poured over the top. Finished off with a small drizzle of raspberry coulis also from the freezer ;D I had a small serve of this too. I'm using up things slowly but surely. ;D

Post by: achookwoman on February 21, 2020, 06:04:11 am: The Spring rolls are very easy. The secret is to par cook the filling and let it get cold. ( I do this in the microwave) They are very healthy as there is no fat in the filling and only a spray of Canola oil on the roll before AF. These ones contained white cabbage, corn, green beans, water chestnuts, carrot , mushrooms, grated ginger and chicken breast. Can add rice noodles .

Post by: JulieO on February 22, 2020, 09:04:36 pm: Made this meal for DH yesterday, though I made the sun dried tomato pesto a couple of days before that. I used a 500g pack of tenderloins which had 9 in the pack, so I got 3 serves from this. I made some browned onions and garlic on High Heat before starting the sauce then when they were cooked, I returned 60g of them and continued on with the recipe. The sauce was so lovely. Would be nice as a parmigiana sauce or as a base sauce on pizza or anywhere a tomato sauce is needed; lots of flavour. The chicken turned out tender, was very happy with this recipe. I served it with mashed potatoes and steamed vegies that I cooked in the Varoma.
I had a Michelle B meal from the freezer, I didn't write on the container what it was so it was going to be a surprise. Turned out to have a bit of pasta and chicken and veg in it.

Post by: JulieO on February 24, 2020, 06:33:07 pm: I made Tenina's creamy chicken stroganoff for DH, though I only used about 1/4 of the creme fraiche and that was ample. Really quick and easy and he really enjoyed it.

I had a MB chicken & rice bowl, recipe made 2 serves. I used up a 175g chicken breast in the freezer as well as kidney beans, brown rice and corn. I enjoyed it, was healthy and filling. :)

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on February 28, 2020, 09:58:40 pm: I created a new recipe for Dinner. It was delicious but not very diet friendly. I used the light cheesy sauce from one of my previous recipes ( Chicken in light creamy sauce)., mixed it with generous amounts of cooked Zucchini and mushrooms and placed this in the base of a small SS dish. I then placed thin slices of chicken breast over the sauce base. I then topped the lot with fresh bread crumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese. Baked in AF for 15 minutes ( 350 for 10 and 200 for 5). I covered it with foil as the bread crumbs wouldn’t stay in place in the AF.
The chicken was very tender and the sauce delicious. Served with green beans.
As the sauce recipe made lots, I have made another similar for tonight. Replacing the mushroom and zucchini with cherry tomatoes from the garden.
Still sauce over, so some salmon pies.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on February 29, 2020, 02:57:57 am: It sounds very tasty Chookie. We are trying a Zucchini slice from the Coles magazine. 3 Cheese and Tomato Zucchini Slice page 20.
We had the Chorizo, Prawn and Pesto Penne last night. Again not very diet friendly but we all enjoyed it. I cooked up the chorizo by itself first and got most of the oil out of it. It’s on page 32.

edited. The zucchini slice was very nice and it is low calorie too.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on February 29, 2020, 05:14:04 am: Thanks for that info Cookie.
I used some of the light cheese sauce and mixed it with a drained tin of pink salmon. Added some cooked Zucchini and mushrooms. Made lots of ( 10). small pies in pie machine. Reheated in AF. Did try short pastry for base, good. Ate some, froze some and gave our neighbour some.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Post by: JulieO on March 04, 2020, 10:11:07 pm: I made this a few days ago for DH. First time I've made a GF recipe and I was really pleased with how it turned out. This was made as a dinner not breakfast.

The pesto was perfect on this as it was a great flavour boost and I have half left so I'm going to make it again in the coming days but will use the normal pizza toppings to see how that goes.
DH had half per night with salad and I had a slim slice to try it.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on March 15, 2020, 03:41:46 am: Snap Chookie! I made a chicken & veg soup in my elec pressure cooker today. I made this quite a few times last winter as it was so good and comforting and I felt every mouthful was doing me good.

Judy mentioned a few days ago about a low carb bread mix (Atkins) that she saw in the supermarket. I saw a box in Woolies and today while the soup was cooking I made it using the TM. I'm so happy with how it turned out, only one rise before baking so it didn't take long. I found that the baking time was half too so something to watch if anyone else has a go.
Was perfect to dip in my bowl of soup and I could imagine it would make a nice salad sandwich. Texture is different of course, but I will certainly buy this to make again. ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on March 15, 2020, 04:18:33 am: Julie, that looks good.
Bought a roll of pork shoulder. Will unwrap it and cut it up into serves for 4 people. 1 cook, 2 meals. Neil Perry has just published an interesting pork recipe with lots of dried mushrooms. Chinese influenced. Looks good.

For me I made a Michelle B meal called 'Low FODMAP steak with grilled summer veg'. I really enjoyed that as I haven't had a steak for so long. Did it all in my airfryer. :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on March 17, 2020, 08:39:33 am: Thanks so much for trying that bread Julie, I don’t miss bread so I haven’t rushed into making it. I can now pick your brains though to find out a few things. It might come in handy when I start running out of food in the future though so at least now I know I have 2 loaves of bread on hand, even if I have nothing else to eat! Did you leave it to rise for the longer time mentioned (I was going to) and how long did it take to cook please. What size tin did you use? I haven’t made bread for so long and the directions on the box are not really very user friendly.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on March 17, 2020, 09:42:01 am: No worries Judy, I agree the directions are not much help.

I've kept it in a ziplock bag and it has stayed soft. DH has been slicing it and having with whatever he's been eating. Of course it's different from normal bread but I really liked it and it toasts well ;D.

I'll copy what I've put in my files for when I next make it, just keep an eye on timings, this is what worked in my oven. :)

This is the loaf pan I used, it has the most amazing non-stick coating I've ever used. I bought mine at House when in Adelaide but their website doesn't show this particular one any more. The base measurements are 20 x 10 x 7cm deep but it is 23cm across the top.
Hope this helps.

https://www.yourhomedepot.com.au/soffritto-23cm-box-sided-loaf-pan.html

ATKINS LOW CARB MULTI SEED BREAD
260g water
1 pkt yeast that comes with the bread mix
1 pkt bread mix

Lightly brush my normal sized cake/loaf tin (Soffritto) 20 x 10 x 7cm deep with oil and set aside.

To create a warm place for the dough to prove; turn the oven to lowest temp and allow to heat for a few mins then turn off.

Place water and yeast into TM bowl. Warm 2 mins/37C/speed 2.
Add the bread mix and knead 3 mins/Interval speed.

Remove dough to a small silpat (or your bench) and bring together with your hands. Shape into the size of the pan and set in place, gently pushing into the corners. Cover the top of the pan with the silpat and put in the turned off oven for 25 mins.

After 25 mins, remove the pan to the bench, still covered with the silpat and set aside for another 15 mins. Preheat oven 220C.

After 15 mins place loaf in the oven (minus silpat) and bake 20 mins. It should be beautiful and brown. Remove from the pan and sit on the oven rack top side up for another 5 mins. Remove to a rack to cool.

Post by: judydawn on March 17, 2020, 02:06:32 pm: Thank you so much for those instructions Julie. I’ve printed them out for future use and although it may be some time before I make the bread (I will start eating all the part loaves of Aldi low carb bread I found in different compartments of the freezer first) I will let you know how I go with this one and how I think it compares to the much darker, heavily seeded Aldi bread. I will check all my bread tins and find one closest to the size you’ve given.

Post by: judydawn on March 26, 2020, 11:07:04 pm: The first bite was strange but it soon became enjoyable and my brain was telling me it’s potato LOL. I will certainly be doing it again, there’s a few meals in a daikon unlike the red radishes. I had tried them baked too but the daikon is much better. I think it took 30 minutes in the a/f but steaming them first would cut that time down. As I’m on maintenance now I’ve started having baked pumpkin so a little bit more variety is opening up.

It was quite nice with the berries & cream when first made but at this stage I’m trying all sorts of recipes just because I’m home all day and have the time. I might just try reheating in the pan in which they were cooked rather than in the toaster which is what I do with crepes. I’ll make a pizza using one as a base too so by the time I’ve tried different ideas of eating the 6 cloud breads I will or won’t bother making them again.

Post by: judydawn on April 02, 2020, 12:53:55 pm: That’s understandable K Atie, a lovely meal to serve up.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on April 02, 2020, 08:19:57 pm: KAtie, I also bought some of the Aldi beef fillet. It is best either roasted, as you did ,or sliced thin and quickly grilled. It is the tail end of a full fillet. That is how they can sell it so cheap.
Last night I cooked RTE chicken legs with honey mustard sauce. Good flavour but needed another 10 minutes in oven.
Tonight lamb rump steaks. Will bash with meat mallet then quick grill.

Skinnymixers Spanish rice , really nice but would add more chicken and veg . Those teenagers needed a double serve .
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on April 05, 2020, 01:56:13 am: The curried fried rice I mentioned was an Adam Liaw recipe, not RTE as I said. It is very good but I add mushrooms and Zucchini and change the process. It will become a regular.
I also made a spicy pumpkin soup from the Age Good Food that featured several interesting soups.
Tonight we are having Roast Pork and roast veggies. I made some custard in TMX. Not sure what to do with it.
Judy, your meal looks very nice. Mab, those little surprises from the freezer are often not what we think they are.

Judy, most goes to DD and neighbours. The neighbour across the road grows beautiful seedlings and is very happy to have cooked goodies. We do a swap. DD is happy to have stuff that doesn’t need to be reheated but most of the baking I give to neighbours can go in the oven or toaster. I am worried about virus bugs.
GC have put in an order for the recent Coconut biscuits.

Tonight stir fry steak and veg. Leftover rice from last night.
Yesterday I made a sort of Lasagna. Leftover Bol sauce , fresh tomato, frilled eggplant, grilled zucchini and the last of yoghurt and sour cream topped with cheese. Used up all the bits.

Chunky Bolognese , oh no another Skinnymixers from Cookidoo. DS was going to make dinner and I had it all ready so just did it myself. Have to let them cook soon too. We had it with fresh twirly spiral pasta that was frozen . A quail shooter use to come all time and in return he would drop off heaps of pasta all shapes and sizes . He has now closed his shop I think , but did the best business ever at the start of the virus.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on April 14, 2020, 12:49:18 pm: Thanks Julie. Not the same. The coconut paste in the jar that was given to me is very white and not roasted. However that does look nice. Judy also found a similar recipe.
The biscuits made with the one I have is very delicate but with a definite coconut flavour. The closest I can get to explaining the texture is shortbread, but lighter and crisper.
I have added a note to the recipe as I found that if I mixed equal parts by weight I produced a similar paste. The TMX was excellent to achieve this.
I love the research and detective work that is done in such a cooperative spirit. Thanks.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on April 14, 2020, 02:50:48 pm: You know Chookie that you could write your own cooking manual / cook book and it would be a best seller . The coconut paste sounds interesting.

Roast Beef eye fillet , roast vegetables and a quick stir fry , DS poked faces at the stir fry.. he really is a fusspot , but I should not of put the cornflower in and it would have been fine .

Post by: mcmich on April 27, 2020, 09:16:54 am: I wished you lived closer Judy, my DS said he would have to start throwing fish back as everybodies freezers (family, friends, neighbours, even our neighbours) are full of the fish he & DIL have caught.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on April 27, 2020, 10:45:36 am: That’s a shame Michele, there’s nothing nicer than freshly caught fish. What a unique situation DS is in, I bet that hasn’t happened before.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on April 28, 2020, 06:24:26 am: Fresh fish is delicious. It tastes so much better. DS and DIL must be good fisher people.

We ended up not having the planned meal last night so it is on for tonight.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mcmich on April 28, 2020, 10:43:28 am: DIL, is the daughter of a commercial fisherman. DS has loved fishing, even as a little fellow.
Late DH always had a boat and he had a love of fishing too, so I suppose that is were Dano got it from.
I have asked him to give it away to my neighbours - I don't eat fish and DH has plenty in the freezer. Dano, fillets it and debones it.

Making Beef in Stout from British chip. Love this recipe. Picked a large Chinese cabbage from the garden. Will probably last a week.

Post by: achookwoman on May 01, 2020, 08:09:28 am: Mab, what size pie maker did you use. .? The mini one would make 8 from 1/2 No Fuss recipe and the larger one 6 rolls. It is best to have a wet rather than stiff dough. Double rise gives a better texture. Playing around today, I tried both pie makers. The mini ones turned out rather strange as they looked like little pies. They tasted ok. They costed out at just over 10 cents each.

Rather naughty but the local potatoes I bought from a road side stall, weeks ago, make fabulous chips. Our local growers sell to Mc Cains and MacDonalds. Most of the potatoes in the local supermarkets come from SA.
I steam the potatoes in the TMX.. Dry them and keep in the fridge and then shallow fry in Rice Bran oil. Pancakes and Maple Syrup.

Thanks Chookie. I used the Sunbeam pie maker and did the double rise. I can see by you picture that my rolls were too large. Three came out looking like pies and very crisp, two others were a better size and not as crispy. I cooked them for 10 mins and they could have done with a bit longer. Tasted ok and I will make them smaller next time. I might even try cooking them in the AF too.

Post by: cookie1 on May 02, 2020, 08:44:30 am: KAtie, nothing wrong with a spot of the old sherry. Forum members that know me well are aware that I’m terrified of wind. I always need a shot or two or three of Port if it gets very windy. Since being diagnosed with diabetes I have only had to resort to it a couple of times, I called it medicine.

Many years ago a lass I worked with wasn’t coping too well with lots of things. She was a strict teetotaller. She went and chatted to her doctor. He prescribed a small glass of sherry each evening. He said it would relax her. She was totally amazed how it helped her.

Last night we had RTE Easy Chicken Noodle soup for dinner with the Olive and Parmesan bread. Lovely and warming.
Tonight we are having a Tenina curry with rice.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on May 09, 2020, 12:01:04 am: Last night I reheated the High Octane Chicken ( coconut milk version) under the grill in the oven. We loved it. The flavour of the sauce was mild. It would be easy to give it a boost by adding a bit more of the FB mixture..
The pumpkin that I roasted in the tomato version was more spicy and delicious. I could eat a meal of this with a couple of additions.
I also made my recipe for the Quinoa and broccoli rice. We had some with the chicken and with the remainder I made quinoa and chilli falafels. I used Mount Zero falafel mix to thicken the mixture.
We will have the remaining chicken tonight.

Post by: JulieO on May 12, 2020, 09:39:59 am: Has anyone else made Tenina's recipe she made to cook pork belly in an airfryer? I had a go today and it's so delicious. The dipping sauce was so flavoursome. I allowed myself a small serve with the coleslaw which went really well with it.

My only mistake was I added the caramelised pineapple to the slaw earlier in the day and by the time I came to serve it the lovely golden colour had tuned to a weak purple colour from the red cabbage :-)) Live and learn.

In the coleslaw part, my only change was to use pineapple pieces from a tin (in juice not syrup) as fresh pineapple is something else I can't eat and it worked really well so would do that again. I also reduced the brown sugar in the dressing.

I cut into smallish cubes so they could be picked up and dipped into the little pot of dressing. :D

Chookie the blade cover came out then it sold out straight away . For some reason they have not been available for ages . Can use it on both the TM5 and 6 , it is used for the sous vide mode , giving a larger area to use.
Pork cider stew really very nice .

KATIE, thanks for the info about the blade cover. Sounds interesting.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on May 13, 2020, 12:21:44 am: Thanks girls, was a nice treat for me. I had a look in my files and it was 2012 when I last made pork belly! I honestly can't remember it though.

Chookie, using the airfryer made it so easy. Her dipping sauce was lovely, though I recommend reducing the sugar a bit. Both that and the pineapple coleslaw were good accompaniments with the pork.

With what I can gather she's going to be coming up with more airfryer recipes so I look forward to seeing what else she comes up with. :D

Will see how the pork re-heats later for DH, I'm back to a Michelle B meal tonight. ;D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on May 13, 2020, 03:03:33 am: Julie, I love my AF. I make a small batch of scones and bread rolls in mine. On my blog the recipe for Bread rolls mixed in TMX and baked in AF is the 3 rd all time favourite recipe out of over 400 recipes. I have several SS dishes that I bought to fit. The new generation AF are a great improvement over Turbo ovens which are a form of AF. These new ones fit in the dish washer which the Turbos didn’t. 40 years ago I had German made one . It was toughened glass. Not as effective but a Godsend for our little Caravan.
There are lots of good recipes with times on the Forum. https://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=14903.msg341490#msg341490

Post by: achookwoman on May 13, 2020, 11:29:02 pm: Judy, thanks a million for putting in the links. I have found that anything placed in the AF that is likely to jump around , can be held in place by placing a crumpet ring over the food.

I think Tenina is doing a fair bit of outside work now, as with many businesses the Covid 19 has probably put a spanner in her business. I know she had a couple of foodie trips that had to be cancelled.

We took one of the old cars to Fremantle at lunchtime and had fish and chips. Dinner will be a coffee and possibly nothing else. I am so full.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on May 24, 2020, 03:11:53 am: I’ll have a serve of that next time too please Julie!
I’ve found the recipe online so will do it for sure. Where did you buy the miso paste please Julie and in which department?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on May 24, 2020, 04:48:40 am: Hee Judy. It was really nice. The garlic and ginger flavour through the cauli was lovely and the honey and miso top just added the right amount of sweetness.

I cooked the salmon in my airfryer, I think on 180C until it was how I like it. The cauli I turbo pulsed for 1 sec but maybe could have done 1/2 second as it was very fine (being only a small amount). Anyway really nice.

The miso paste I used was this one. Available at both Coles and Woolies, in the Asian aisle. About $4 I think. ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on May 24, 2020, 05:32:49 am: Thank you Julie, at this time I don’t like having to spend too much time wandering the aisles looking for special ingredients.

Post by: achookwoman on May 26, 2020, 02:17:00 pm: Michele I made up the recipe for the Kiev’s. I wanted 100 g of chicken in each so for 300 g of chicken I added, 3/4 cup fresh bread crumbs, 1 egg, green onion tops, 1 smashed clove of garlic and a slug of sweet chilli sauce. Mixed in TMX. Set them up in the fridge and then dipped them in Panko crumbs. Freeze small disks of garlic butter to place in middle of Pattie before setting up in fridge. I heated the pie maker so it was very hot. Sprayed well with olive oil and cooked underside with lid down until I could see it was well brown. Then turned over. These were cooked a large Sunbeam pie machine.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on May 27, 2020, 01:23:39 pm: I swapped what I had planned for dinner today and had the chicken roast for lunch as I had a sudden craving for something tuna. I sautéd some onion, red capsicum and mushrooms in the TMX then placed them on the bottom of a casserole dish. I steamed a bunch of broccoli, cut it into short lengths and added that to the other veggies in the dish. Flaked a large can of tuna over the top then made a low fat version of cheese sauce and poured that over the top. Finished it with a topping of low carb crushed crisp bread & a small amount of Parmesan. It was surprisingly very tasty and a change from the old tuna mornay, I would most certainly make it again. I’ll add a picture after I have another serve sometime tomorrow.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on May 31, 2020, 09:50:39 am: Your curry looks good McMich.

Judy I haven't frozen any avocado yet, I keep forgetting, I must def put them on my shopping list. :-[

I had a successful day in the kitchen. I made a half a batch of the zucchini + feta fritters (which made 2) from the new Skinnymixers book only I cooked them in my waffle maker instead of the stove top. Not a big serve but was enough with the salad and the dollop of Tzatziki I also made a half batch of. I'll reheat the other one tomorrow in my airfryer.

I also made these baguettes from cookidoo and I'm so pleased with how they turned out. I've tried quite a few recipes over the years but haven't really got what I was looking for. These aren't the best looking but for a first try I'm happy. I even left them to cool before slicing which was hard to do ;D
The recipe made 3 so 2 have now been gently vacuum sealed and put in the freezer.

This morning I saw a consultant on FB where she'd used the fermentation mode for bread she was making but instead of putting the dough directly in the Varoma bowl she put it in a bowl that fit in the Varoma. She increased the temp and time of the fermentation. I followed this example and it worked great.

Judy, DH really enjoyed his Chow Mein tonight with slices of buttered baguette. He's taken what's left of the roll to work tonight to have with his minestrone soup. ;D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on May 31, 2020, 10:20:01 am: Great idea to use the waffle maker Julie, I should use mine more for different things. I found some waffles in the freezer today when I was looking for something else so it was nice to find some extra breakfasts I’d forgotten about. Love your baguettes and I’m pleased to hear DH enjoyed his chow mein.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on May 31, 2020, 09:09:02 pm: Julie, love the look of the Baguettes. What is different about them that you like? I make a lot and use Cookies Vienna Bread recipe quite often.
Last night I made Pork and veal Spag Bol to go with the leftovers.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mcmich on May 31, 2020, 11:17:11 pm: Julie, will look up FB and see if I can find that demonstration. The baguettes look great.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on June 01, 2020, 12:21:02 am: Thanks Judy, Chookie and McMich, I was really pleased with these.

Chookie, they are the first ones that had somewhat of a crispier shell and they didn't go soft as they cooled which has happened with others I have made. I don't think I'll ever be able to get that real crispy exterior you buy in the stores, but for once I was happy with both the texture and flavour of these. I'll actually go back and make these ones again and hopefully improve their appearance. ;D

Post by: achookwoman on June 01, 2020, 07:15:04 am: Julie, I slightly under cook mine , and then when we want to eat them I spray with water and pop in a hot oven or AF. Lovely crisp shell and soft inside. The closest I have ever got to the traditional French ones with the thick chewy crisp shell is the overnight SD Baguettes .

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on June 05, 2020, 07:59:52 am: Today’s cooking was Saganaki prawns from Skinnymixers new book).
Making ahead of time I cooked the sauce (which was really delicious). Did my usual browning of onions in the High Heat collection then carried on with the recipe. I then weighed that and divided into 2 lots.

Once the prawns were peeled, washed etc, I counted and divided into 2 lots. All I had to do for me was put a thin layer of cooked brown rice on the base of a small baking dish, add one lot of the combined sauce and prawns then put the dish in my airfryer and bake for about 10-12 mins then sprinkled with Greek feta and baked another 5 mins or so until prawns were fully cooked and it was hot. Was so delicious, I loved every mouthful. I’ll have the other serve tomorrow with some salad greens and cherry toms.

I’ll do the same with the other lot of rice, sauce and prawns which is for DH when he gets home tonight, though he’ll have it all as one serve instead of splitting it into 2. I know he’ll really love this too.

I had some over ripe pears that needed using up so I did a search on cookidoo and found a ‘pear & peach crumble’ recipe that I had everything in for. I reduced the sugar a bit and as my pears were quite ripe, when they had cooked down it made the sauce quite liquidy. The peaches were okay though. I didn’t worry about that at this stage I just poured it all into a baking dish. Covered the top with half the crumble (vacuumed packed the rest and put in the freezer to use another day) and baked for about 30 mins. The liquid evaporated and I was left with a lovely dessert. Will be made again.

I didn’t get around to the tahini biscuits but I’m hopeful to do them tomorrow when I have more time.

Last night I cooked the easiest and tastiest meal. An Alison Roman recipe, sausages with capsicum peppers and onion. All cooked in one pan and served with mashed potato. We are very fussy about our sausages. These were delivered with the order from the local small goods order. They were very good. I can now eat a little onion so really enjoyed this dish.
Chow Mein tonight so I can use the left overs for Spring Rolls tomorrow.

Post by: cookie1 on June 08, 2020, 06:49:21 am: Last night's dinner was a saga. I realised too late that the chicken dish I was making needed to be marinaded for several hours. I then decided on a pumpkin pasta dish, but the pumpkin we were given was a bit off on one side, so I didn't have enough. I changed it to another pumpkin dish but had run out of pesto. I eventually cooked the chicken as a stir fry with what we had and padded it out with home made noodles from the pasta machine.

Tonight is slow cooked steak and onions with veggies.

This is what often happens here.
Last night we had Salmon Wellingtons from Aldi. Neighbour said they liked them. Not bad. The Salmon wasn’t the best quality. Tasted more like tinned salmon. I would like to make them using fresh Salmon.

So nice served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It baked in the time given and was set just right. I think I must have used the perfect sized dish, not too deep or shallow.
They tell you to cut off the crusts, but I think that's the best part, love the crunch. ;D

The brioche (store bought) was a loaf that I had in the freezer for ages which I kept moving around when looking for something, so I took it out yesterday to defrost and looked for a recipe to use it in :D

I had Chookie’s Chicken loaf tonight https://achookwoman.blogspot.com/search?q=Chicken+meat+loaf , it will do me for 6 meals of 2 slices (cooked in my largest bread tin for 35 minutes). An easy, cheap meal Chookie and the only change I would make to your recipe is to sauté the onion, carrot and garlic and let it cool down a bit before adding the rest of the ingredients. This would alleviate the occasional raw onion taste I experienced.

Beef ragu , Cookidoo with cauliflower mash , will leave out the garlic for the mash next time . DH loved the mash he turned up his noise when I told him what it was !! Mind you he had seconds by then .

Post by: achookwoman on June 11, 2020, 11:53:36 pm: K ATIE, best not to tell them what is in it.
Judy, thanks for that tip about the onions. I didn’t put any at all in the last time I made it. There was an interesting recipe during the week, for meat loaf by Janet Goh. She covers the container with foil and turns it upside down on to a tray to bake. When cooked, lifts off the tin/ container and bakes a bit longer. Then covers with topping. The only advantage would be , more surface covered with topping.
Charred filet steak. Very tasty. Mashed potatoes, French beans and Taboulli. Pears, apricots and Coconut yoghurt.
For lunch we had baked Spag Bol pots.

Post by: JulieO on June 14, 2020, 07:31:27 am: I made a vegetable chilli from 'Taste of Mexico' collection on Cookidoo for both of us today. About 326 cals/serve. Was so delicious I must say. I did my usual High Heat browned onions (and garlic) at first then continued on with recipe. The vegies were steamed in the Varoma first then added to the cooking sauce in the bowl to finish off. Felt so good after it.
I also made a cobb loaf in my dutch oven but I think the pot was a bit big so the cobb was a flatter round instead of the regular higher cobb shape. Went well with the veg curry though do am not bothered about that. ;D

I made a pasta dish for DH and this Michelle B meal for me: miso salmon with cauli fried rice. It was so tasty. DH had a bite and asked if he could have a serve next time I make it. :D
Julie I finally got around to trying this recipe tonight https://glamadelaide.com.au/cookbook-extract-12wbt-low-carb-solution/ although I only made the miso salmon as I had plenty of leftover veggies to heat up. I cooked it in a metal dish in the AirFryer for 7 minutes and sprayed it half way through as it seemed a title dry. It was perfect, I loved it and will use this recipe whenever I want a quick salmon meal. I reckon it would work on chicken too.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Post by: judydawn on June 26, 2020, 04:08:48 am: Yes do try it Chookie, it’s messy to prepare but worth the effort. When I use chicken I’ll slash it so that the mixture goes in as well as over. I have some tenderloins out for tomorrow’s tea so will try it on them. Tonight I’m having SC Coq-au-vin which I cooked last night.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on June 30, 2020, 09:03:32 am: A bit of a mixed bag here today. For DH I grilled a chicken breast and served it with creamy mushroom sauce (skinnymixers), mashed potato and steamed veg.

For me I made 2 of these little 'corn, capsicum & parmesan' quiches (one for tomorrow). A Michelle B recipe which turned out really good. So simple and served with salad leaves, halved cherry toms and a drizzle of Italian dressing. Was thoroughly enjoyed and will be made again.

A bit later I made a pumpkin & golden syrup steamed pud. Used a pudding basin in the varoma but I only made a half a serve but was still big enough to get 8 small serves out of. I reduced the steaming by 10 mins.

Having a taste I thought it could have been just a bit sweeter so have noted that, plus even though there looks a lot of sauce, by the time you come to eat it a lot of that has been sucked into the pud, so I will make the full amount of sauce next time, still pour half over when first removed from the basin and pour the rest into a jug so a little can be drizzled over each serve with either cream or ice cream. ;D

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on July 03, 2020, 09:12:25 am: I was curious to see how this recipe would work out, cooking winglets in the TM bowl. Supposed to use 1kg, my 2 packs came to 1.3kg but the bowl handled them well. At the end of cooking, I removed one and pulled it apart to make sure they were cooked and they were, tasted good but I had an idea. I put a large non-stick frypan over a flame and added the chicken in one layer until sizzling. I then poured in about half of the cooking liquid and allowed that to reduced down to a lovely sticky mess, turning the chicken over now and then until coated in the goo ;D Much more flavourful and only took a few mins to do. I would do this again.

I cooked rice in the TM5 while the chicken was cooking in the 6. Will serve the chicken over the rice with a drizzle of the reserved cooking sauce and just a side salad.

As you can imagine, not a lot of meat on the winglets but it has made lots of them so they will still make a filling meal with the rice and salad. :)

I picked up a box of this pasta today from woolies for the next time I need to have some. Made from chickpeas, they look good will be interesting to see what they taste like.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on July 03, 2020, 11:05:23 am: Are they lower carb than normal pasta Julie?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on July 03, 2020, 11:18:41 am: The box says;

Barilla Chickpea Casarecce, made with just 1 ingredient: 100% chickpea flour! It's Gluten Free, rich in plant-based protein and full of fibre. Taste the difference! Casarecce is a shorter pasta noodle that appears to be rolled upon itself with a groove down the middle and traditionally pairs well with Pesto recipes. Barilla Chickpea Casarecce cooks to al dente perfection in just 10 minutes.

Carbs, Av quantity per 85g serving; 38.3g. Does that sound right? I really don't know what 'normal' pasta would be, I've only used wholemeal pasta when having it in MB recipes. Thought this chickpea one would be interesting. I see there's also a red lentil penne too.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on July 03, 2020, 12:39:43 pm: Thanks Julie, I also use wholemeal pasta and a serving for diabetics is 1/3 cup cooked (70g), that’s not a lot but it’s OK for me as I don’t need to eat a lot of pasta. Next time I’m at Woolies I’ll compare the nutritional information of some of the different types of pasta.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on July 03, 2020, 12:48:38 pm: JulieO the protein in chickpeas is meant to be high , good for building up protein in a diet . Looks interesting.

I’ve also got some of that pasta. Haven’t used it yet.
Last night we had a made up stir fry. Lots of red capsicum, mushrooms and green beans, then added Squid tubes, then precooked pasta. I added a bit much chilli flakes but otherwise delicious.

Post by: mcmich on July 05, 2020, 07:02:23 am: All the dinners look very tasty. I haven't had the chickpea pasta but have had the lentil pasta. It was nice and just looked like wholemeal pasta. It's very hard to be low carb when you eat legumes.

What appliances do you all keep on your bench? I have a tiny kitchen but excellent storage so I keep very little out, I even put TMX in the cupboard for a few years when I gave up on cooking and only had the kettle out. Makes cleaning easy.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on July 05, 2020, 07:32:24 am: I have my kettle, air fryer and Thermomix on the benches Michele. I would like everything on the bench so that I don’t have to search cupboards looking for things LOL. Since I had the kitchen renovated I can’t seem to put my hand on things as easily as I used to so I might have to do some resorting I think.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on July 05, 2020, 09:07:35 am: Yes Chookie, I should try making chick pea pasta. It wouldn't be hard using the thermomix and pasta machine.

Tonight we are having Pumpkin soup with grilled haloumi pieces in it and garlic croutons.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: JulieO on July 05, 2020, 09:37:34 am: I made a stir fry in the TM6 using the High Heat function. It's called 'sticky chilli beef'. Only makes 2 serves which is fine as it's for DH. Was intrigued as to how it would turn out. Really, really well :D

The only thing I would change next time is to cut down on the honey a touch as the taste I had was a bit too sweet but otherwise the flavours were really good. I used up bits and pieces of veg to the quantity stipulated.

In the photo I haven't spooned over the sauce at this stage, will do so once I warm it up later just before serving to DH when he gets home from work.

I allowed the meat to marinate for a few hours beforehand and I cooked some rice noodles to serve with.

Will definitely make it again, a great way to use up veg in the crisper. :D
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on July 05, 2020, 01:17:37 pm: Julie, looks very nice. Just like a professional photo.
I have lots of bench space but love it when there is not much on it.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on July 05, 2020, 01:32:18 pm: Good idea to keep back the sauce until later, it looks delicious Julie.
I made crumbed chicken tenderloins to have with the leftover veggies from my last batch. I do enough veg for 3 meals.

I have 3 tins here at the moment which will keep me going for a month or so but I’ll check out the Advitil next time I go to Chemist Warehouse.

Post by: K Atie on August 23, 2020, 01:23:41 pm: Well DS made an interesting dish , pasta as the base topped with lamb stir fry mince and veg , it was a little too fatty and DS said he would not make it again . Still it was good to sit back again , better get my cooking pants back on tomorrow.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on August 23, 2020, 11:06:47 pm: K ATIE, how lovely to have the kids cooking. It is so important for them to have cooking skills. GD off to Uni next year so I might make her a cooking book containing all the recipes I know she likes.
Judy, snow didn’t settle long enough to take photos.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on August 24, 2020, 02:39:37 am: Wow Chookie lucky GD knowing she will be at uni next year , we can only hope that happens for DD . Great idea about the cook book .
Hopefully they will cook each week but we will see. Might try dessert as an alternative.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on August 24, 2020, 11:30:22 pm: K ATIE, GD will certainly go to Uni next year, it will be a case of which one. Your DD has also many things in her favour, she is a girl, country kid and doing some science subjects. All to her advantage. Tell your DD to think positive about her choices.
Dinner tonight, salmon and brown rice with green olives and preserved lemon.

Post by: judydawn on August 26, 2020, 01:06:30 pm: I found a ramekin of Coq-au-vin in the freezer so steamed veggies to serve with cheese sauce also found in the freezer. Chopped the chicken dish finely but for the first time since my op I served the veggies whole and just cut them as I went. Not supposed to be eating bread yet but for lunch I had soup with crustless toast which I dipped in the soup to soften. No problems.

I love dipping my bread in my soup and also slopping up the dregs of a casserole with bread.

You are right, if I have something I shouldn’t be having I would have trouble swallowing it. So far so good LOL.
My DD took me out to lunch yesterday, wasn’t sure what would be suitable but I chose garlic prawns - it was so nice to feel ‘normal’.
Tonight I had some leftover stew plus extra steamed veggies/cheese sauce.

Post by: K Atie on August 28, 2020, 12:51:58 pm: Beef risotto is very good for a change CC .
Glad your enjoying eating Judy , prawns are so good .
Made pork fillet with mustard sauce in TMX , braised shredded Brussel sprouts . Dessert from MIL .. not sure what it is called but let’s just say cream with marshmallows and ginger snap biscuits around the outside ! I had a piece of Bimby chocolate cake .
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on August 29, 2020, 01:35:52 am: Bimby chcocate cake is so good. I think it was you, K Atie, who suggested that to me when I was looking for a soft chocolaty treat to bake from my colleague when he got back to work a couple of months ago after he was assaulted on the street. I have since made it a couple of times and it has been a great success.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on August 29, 2020, 08:43:40 am: The Bimby chocolate cake is a favourite with the GC.

DD made dinner tonight . Sweetcorn fritters with Chilli jam and avocado cream , used fresh corn and did not use chilli in the jam , no sour cream so just mash avacardo. Really nice and we now have a jar of red pepper jam !! Two Thermomix’s going . I was kicked out of the kitchen , happy days . Bonus it’s a Cookidoo recipe and now DD has her own collection to refer to .

Post by: K Atie on August 30, 2020, 12:44:36 pm: Chookie I love mushrooms but the boys are not that keen on them .
DS turn for cooking dinner tonight ! He cooked sausages and sautéed broccoli and zucchini... the plate was quiet bare , but we all praised him and he made dessert. Rice pudding in TMX well it was so nice with sliced banana and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg also a drizzle of local honey . The family always complains that I give them too many vegetables so I think they are quickly realising that there is a reason for this . DD got just the greens as she told DS that she was vegan .. he then gave her a sausage just to get the point across. Both have done a great job .
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on August 30, 2020, 01:00:21 pm: K ATIE, well done for the kids.

Sometimes you have just got to have something green to eat, don't you K Atie. I get that craving as well when nothing else will do except for a heap of lovely fresh 'green stuff'.

I worked my way around my desire for some chips yesterday, I bought chips with gravy from the local chicken shop and they were perfect. Normally I want crisp chips but if soft chips go down OK then soggy gravy covered chips it will be.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on September 02, 2020, 12:44:29 pm: I think it is the change in the weather that has me needing a salad .

When I rolled the base for each Pizza, I stamped out the base size with a cake tin. I picked a size that will fit into the AF and I slightly undercooked each Pizza.
Pizza for lunch and roast stuffed lamb for dinner. Lemon Delicious.

Post by: achookwoman on October 03, 2020, 10:47:46 pm: Last night I cooked 2 chicken Maryland’s in a dish in AF. Smothered them with home made sweet chilli sauce and baked for 1 hour at 120. Turned them over 1/2 way through. Upped heat to brown them. Perfect as they made a tasty sauce. Mashed potato, leftovers and chopped salad of Avo, tomato and cucumber. All so easy.
Tonight grilled Salmon with cold slaw and last of mashed potato. Lots of eggs so might make Floating Islands.

We have our AGM today. We have a sausage sizzle, then our normal meeting, then the AGM, followed by afternoon tea. It’s going to be 31/32.
Dinner may be whatever we can find. Probably salad and something. We will have to consume a yucky roll that they put the sausage in. I took our own one year but that hurt the roll purchaser’s feelings. 🙃🙃

Will look out for them Katie.

I made roast beef and baby roast potatoes (skin on) today and this lovely warm salad (pumpkin, bean & feta salad) from Thermobexta's new book.
So easy and tasted really nice, went perfectly with the meat and potatoes. I halved the honey in the honey & mustard dressing and only drizzled the salad with it instead of adding all of it. I also reduced the pine nuts a bit. Will be made again. :D

Post by: Cuilidh on October 25, 2020, 10:37:13 pm: Today is DH's heavily restricted diet day prior to his colonoscopy in two day's time so he made a pot of chicken soup and added some potatoes - that will be his food for the day. First time meat has been cooked in our house for years! The worst is that I have to go to the supermarket to get white bread for him - the candy floss of the bread world, we are just not used to eating this stuff any more!

We are quite used to all of this as both of us have to have colonoscopies every 3 - 5 years so I will have to book mine in soon ... no fun, but way better than the alternative!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on October 26, 2020, 12:52:07 am: Cuilidh, your DH has my sympathy but as you say it is better than the alternative. I also have to have them every 5 years.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on October 26, 2020, 08:48:48 am: Not fun, but I agree totally re the alternative. Some years I am permitted to go 5 more until the next one, some years he says 3 years. I am on a 5 year between visits, gosh the 5 years go fast.
I found that I enjoyed boiled egg, boiled chicken breast and rice. I totally agree re the bread being yukky Marina.

Cookie, years ago I read that when you eat something that you find too hot instead of reaching for a glass of water, have some milk instead. There's something in it that calms the mouth and takes some of the heat away. I've tried it and it does work ;D

Post by: JulieO on November 13, 2020, 06:24:38 am: I made 2 lots of meals for both DH and I today which to be honest I wished I'd only made one and the other on another day. Not hard to make just a lot of mucking around and lots of washing up afterwards :-\

A cauli mac & cheese for DH with a sourdough/garlic/rosemary crumb on top which he loved and for me a recipe from Sophia Guidolin's book 'Everyday Thermo' book called 'lamb, chilli & coriander tagine'. Supposedly only 4 serves but I got 6 out of mine (making it only 315 cals) which I've frozen for quick meals on other days. Really enjoyed it, flavour was good though I will leave out the chilli next time. Also wasn't a fan of the red kale, I think I'll use green beans next time. :)

Didn't take a photo of mine but this is the cauli mac & cheese.

I’ve never liked plain Mac and cheese but add some veggies to it and yes, it’s lovely. Your topping sounds very tasty.

Post by: cookie1 on November 14, 2020, 08:59:58 am: Being Saturday it is pizza for us. I have the bases rolled out ready for DH and DD to top and cook. I use Jamberie's pizza base but I don't let it rise. I roll it out and leave it to puff up a bit on the pizza dishes. It becomes all lovely and bubbly.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on November 14, 2020, 06:43:00 pm: Cookie, I use the same recipe for Pizzas. My new trick is to stamp out round bases with a tin dish. The size is one that fits in the AF. I make lots of pizzas and the leftover ones reheat beautifully in the AF.
Leftovers tonight.

Sometimes we get carried away in the kitchen and halfway through wish we’d never started LOL.
Plenty of meals for you in the freezer now and you will appreciate your efforts each time you take out a quick meal Julie.
I’ve never liked plain Mac and cheese but add some veggies to it and yes, it’s lovely. Your topping sounds very tasty.

It was certainly one of those days for me Judy, just wasn't in the mood. I'm the same with mac & cheese, too high calorie for me with no wow factor but DH enjoys it so I do try other additions to give more flavour. :)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on November 15, 2020, 02:40:30 am: I agree wholeheartedly, plain Mac and cheese is pretty tasteless. We were once served it up when we were invited to lunch, not something I would ever give visitors. The soup beforehand was very nice though.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on November 15, 2020, 07:11:57 pm: Very small toasted chicken sandwich.
I agree about the Mac n cheese. Judy, soup is usually very good food value.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on November 15, 2020, 09:47:27 pm: I love mac and cheese, but whenever I make it there is always way more vegetables than mac in it.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on November 15, 2020, 11:33:49 pm: I'm not a big fan of mac and cheese.

Post by: cookie1 on November 18, 2020, 09:50:56 am: The operators of the caravan park do fish and chips. They catch the fish locally, so we had fish and chips from them. The fish was Hapuka and was very nice. It is a deep sea fish and I’d never heard of it before.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on November 18, 2020, 10:01:37 am: There are so many types of fish that I’ve never heard of either cookie, I will only buy it if they can tell me which fish it tastes like - one that I know. I’m sure we could be buying cheaper fillets of fish if only we knew more about them.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on November 18, 2020, 07:56:37 pm: It is difficult to get fresh fish in the inland regional areas. I only buy Australian fish, so mostly salmon, trout and prawns. We like flake but it often doesn’t look fresh.
Cookie, that would have been very nice.
Last night, salmon and salad. Fresh cherries.

It's worth buying a little oven thermometer so you can test the temperature in your new oven. When we replaced ours a good few years ago now, everything was over-cooked or over brown. A thermometer showed it ran 40C hotter than the dial. It improved by 10C over time but I still set it now at 30C less than stated and things cook as they should. Worth a try Cornish.

Post by: JulieO on December 08, 2020, 08:27:39 pm: Yesterday I made 'sour cream & chicken enchilades' from the AU cookidoo. It has high ratings so thought I'd give it a go. Makes a lot as you use 10 tortillas. Was good to use up some chicken tenders and a breast from the freezer to make up the amount needed.

It looked really good and I cut a corner off to try it and thought it was really tasty, surprised really. DH loved it. I've divided it up now into 2 tortilla serves. Will make again.

I served with RTE's pasta salad that I've made numerous times. It's very much like what you buy in supermarkets in the ready to go section. The recipe makes heaps and I freeze in 2 serving size. Used normal macaroni this time as I'd run out of elbow.

Just a note, I discovered a really tasty cheese that caught my eye and was my first time trying. I used it in the enchilada meal. It's Coles home brand 'Red Leicester'.

Title: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on February 28, 2021, 08:19:37 am: Tonight is a chicken and vegetable pie from the freezer, with veggies.

Last nights wedding food was unusual, but perfectly suited to the couple that married. They were married by the river in a lovely setting and the reception was at the bride’s parents house. It was canapés of various sorts and drinks. Then at about 7.30/8 we had paella. When we arrived there was 3 enormous paella dishes set up out the front of the house. DH and I had the seafood one. Dessert was 4 different multi layer butter cakes decorated and flavoured in different ways and then the surprise of the evening was when a Mr Whippy van backed onto the front lawn and we could all have Icecreams. The young people partied on but those over 70 departed about 11.

CC, you would be a reliable authority on Cornish Pasties. What filling do you use. ?

Me too please Denise.

We are having another Cookidoo recipe for dinner tonight. I will report back on it.
If I can buy it Chookie I use Beef Skirt. It makes all the difference to a pasty. I always use potato, swede and onion with lots of salt and pepper. My Mum always used white pepper but I prefer black pepper.
Using lard and butter in the pastry makes the pasty taste good.😁

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on February 28, 2021, 10:30:56 pm: When Denise come over for one of the Forumfests she gave us all a tea towel with the Cornish Pasty recipe on it. These are the ingredients which are the same as what Denise has listed. I can give you the method if you would like that too.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on March 01, 2021, 03:06:27 am: Thanks CC. Just the same as how my Mum made them. Skirt steak has to be specially ordered

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on April 07, 2021, 10:48:23 am: Thanks cookie, it was pretty good but I’d leave the bacon out next time.
Now I fancy a piece of Barramundi as I love it. I didn’t used to mind a piece of salmon occasionally.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on April 07, 2021, 09:05:22 pm: Judy, the soup looks good. Why would you leave the bacon out. ? If it is a texture issue, you could add liquid smoke to balance the flavours.
Beef and veggie pies.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on April 08, 2021, 12:41:53 am: The minestrone looks very tasty, Judy; there's nothing like a good hearty bowl of soup once the weather starts to cool down.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on April 08, 2021, 06:41:27 am: I bought my barramundi fresh from Coles Judy. It came from Cone Bay which is up in the NW of WA.

We are having chicken schnitzel tonight, but instead of breadcrumbs I use shredded parmesan.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on April 08, 2021, 10:58:58 am: The bacon was a texture issue Chookie, it was too tough, I’ve almost become a vegetarian as I eat so little meat, chicken or even fish. I’ll be happy with a veggie minestrone but by the time I get through the 8 serves I made I’ll probably be sick of it LOL.

I have had a win lately though, I can have a bit of a salad nowadays - avocado and, due to being watery, I can eat peeled cucumber, iceberg lettuce, juicy tomatoes (no longer peel them) and I’ve tried very thinly sliced radishes and celery too. Egg is OK too if it’s mashed with mayo (preferably still warm). Salad was a no no on any list the hospital gave me but this last month I’ve gradually been trying bits and pieces. Only problem is that it’s not going to help me put weight back on.

Cookie we have several fish factory outlets within a 15-20 minute drive and although I can buy it from the local Drakes store I prefer to buy a small piece from the factories themselves if I’m passing.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on April 09, 2021, 12:16:16 am: Judy, fish in white sauce, Any good?
Last night Lamb chops . Grilled. We have a grill like an electric BBQ in the kitchen. It certainly adds a lot of flavour to grilled food.
Tonight Fish , steamed in dish in TMX.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on April 09, 2021, 03:52:06 am: I’d do a light lemon sauce Chookie, citrus (and wine unfortunately) dries out my mouth too much so I’d have to watch how much I used.

Post by: judydawn on April 09, 2021, 02:49:52 pm: It would be OK cookie but I’m a bit over white sauce based food at the moment. I will make a fish pie when I feel like going down that track.

Made Spag Bol for dinner last night. DD and GS come each Tuesday night for dinner. I always make garlic bread for GS. Usually just mash fresh garlic into butter and add parsley, salt and pepper.

What I thought would be 1 serve has turned out to be 3 meals and I’ve frozen 3 small pots of excess sauce for some fish meals down the track, I’ll add some lemon juice to it.

Portuguese custard tarts heated in AF.
Made scones which I also cooked in AF.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on April 26, 2021, 01:26:35 pm: Thank you ladies, I look forward to having it again down the track
Chookie I wondered if you could reheat Portuguese tarts, do you freeze them as well? When the kids were over last I tried one of those they bought at Costco, I could only eat the tiny bit of custard in them and I didn’t think it was anything special even though those who buy them love them. If they freeze I’d like to make some for when they next come over.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on April 27, 2021, 03:07:04 am: Don’t think they would freeze well, Judy. After about 3 days in a sealed container the custard starts to split. They warm quite well in the AF. The pastry goes a bit soft but sets up ok when on the serving plate. I usually make the custard the day before.
Using my light Mornay sauce, smoked salmon pasta and veggies made dinner for dinner. The dish I bought yesterday for $8 at the cheap grocer. Im trying to reduce plastic wrap, so the lid is handy.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on April 27, 2021, 02:13:58 pm: I’ve had to buy some smaller dishes to heat meals for 1 so I’ve looked for dishes with lids for a while now, much easier than covering with cling film or alfoil. I also have some thin silicon squares in different sizes which I put over anything small that needs a lid, they work well when heating in the microwave too. They were an unexpected gift when I bought some soft plastic storage sets some time back, mind you I didn’t like them and gave them away but I do like these silicon tops. I haven’t seen them in shops and would buy some bigger sizes if I could find them.

I made one of my old favourites for dinner last night but true to form these days, what used to taste great to me doesn’t now. The texture was perfect but the tuna felt so dry in my mouth.

I can’t post a review under the book due to my taste buds not being right yet but it looks great, the prawns were lovely but the rice wasn’t that easy for me to eat although I do OK with home made rice pudding.

We are having leftovers from RTE Chilli mac n cheese. We are camped at a free camp in Three Springs. No power, so we will have to heat it on the stove. I used to teach here in 1989, 1990, 1991. I drove up the 55 km from Carnamah where DH was teaching each day. It was very pleasant. We had a walk round town after we arrived. Not much has changed. A few shops have closed down. https://www.threesprings.wa.gov.au/

Tonight, BBQ forequarter chops. Normally I would make a sweet curry with them but they are from a very young lamb so will grill them.

Wonderful Judy. Is your long weekend coming up? We had ours last weekend. I hope it doesn't rain. Is there anything I can help them with?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on June 08, 2021, 04:18:07 am: Yes this coming weekend cookie. It does look like most days will be wet over there but the kids cope with anything and will do what they’ve planned no matter what the weather is like. Just one thing you may be able to help with though, which eatery on the Fremantle wharf serves up the best fish and chips. I have a friend over there at the moment and she was in Fremantle yesterday, she said Cicerello’s is the best but when I checked out the reviews there seemed to be a lot of negative comments. Maybe things have improved, where would you suggest please? I’ll be looking after the dogs whilst they’re away and lucky for us there is no rain expected at that time which is great for me as they won’t have to miss out on their walks.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on June 08, 2021, 05:18:50 am: Either Cicerellos or Kailis would be best Judy. However the Fish Shack is nice too. Saturday looks the best for weather, but it doesn’t look too bad. I’m sure they will have lots of fun.

I had a chuckle at this. My Dad would never eat quiche, but if Mum called it an egg and bacon pie he would eat it. He may have been stirring her too.

K Atie's DS is not the only one to make a mistake with baking powder & carb soda. My last night's meal was a disaster, completely inedible. I wanted crispy skin on the chicken and used 3 teaspoons carb soda instead of baking powder. I won't make that mistake again.

Tonight we had salmon with left over potatoes and mixed greens.

Post by: achookwoman on September 09, 2021, 11:17:21 pm: Mab, I use just a fraction of the baking powder that RTE suggests. Sill good result and no taste.
KAtie, I bought my DD an AF. DGS says he is taking it with him when he moves out. His favourite foods cooked in AF are sausage rolls, anything crumbed and garlic bread. All very healthy !!

Made the Bol sauce with Kangaroo mince. Good.
Tonight, chicken in mushroom cream sauce. Will replace cream with creamed Cauli.

Post by: achookwoman on September 23, 2021, 11:37:53 pm: I’ve changed my cooking regime. Instead of cooking 4 serves and either freezing or eating the other 2 serves the next day , I’m cooking just enough for 1 meal. I have plenty of time to do this. I am now also freezing food in 1 meal lots. If I cook something in bulk, like Bol Sauce, I freeze it in 2 serves portion.
Last night I cooked a chicken thigh casserole. I used 2 serves of Ratatouille and 2 chicken thighs and popped it all in my small SC. ( then added sliced mushrooms) I steamed potatoes for mash in TMX basket with Brocollini on top in Varoma.
We enjoy variety and now I can try a lot more recipes.
Tonight 2 more chicken thighs, different recipe. Sweet and sour.

A boneless chicken roast with herb & apricot stuffing from Coles tonight. Cooked in the AF. Not sure what veggies to do yet.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on September 24, 2021, 02:58:01 am: If anyone can do that it’s you Chookie, If I go to the trouble of actually cooking a meal I still tend to stick to the recipe or halve it if it’s for 8. So many recipes I come across these days serve 8-10 which is weird. Quick meals are my favourites now and with soup I can cook plenty of it as it freezes so well and gives me variety in my meals. I have a problem with cooking a proper evening meal from scratch because we always had a cooked lunch once we retired so I only want an easy meal for tea.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on September 24, 2021, 04:17:16 am: I always bulk cook. Occasionally I might do something that does the two of us for just one night but most of the cooking I do has to see us through the week so some goes into the fridge and some into the freezer for later on (I think I need a new freezer!).
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on September 24, 2021, 05:38:15 am: Nice to see everyone cooks to suit their situation. I have suffered from leftover behaviour from when I worked long hours, full time and with a family to feed. I have been trying to change this behaviour for 15 years. Slow learner.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on September 24, 2021, 11:49:26 am: If we have a fair amount of leftovers I freeze them. Then I usually use them within the next couple of weeks. DH has a bad habit of wrapping something in a plastic bag and it disappears for ever. 😀😀
Usually D H has the leftovers for lunch the next day.
Tonight we had curry, rice and naan. There is heaps left over so we will have it tomorrow night.

We also watched the footy. It’s the first time I have ever watched a game without my team playing. It’s probably because it was here. I quite enjoyed it. All the excitement. I’m pleased Melbourne won too.

Post by: judydawn on September 25, 2021, 02:51:30 pm: First quarter I was barracking for Melbourne, second quarter the Bulldogs until they caught up then back to the team I wanted to win, Melbourne.

Footy season over for another year but I’ve ready received notification that I can pay next years subs - they can wait a bit longer though, far too early at this stage.

For lunch I air fried a slice of cauli with pumpkin. It’s the first time I’ve tried cauli this way but I was sick of au-gratin so it was a nice change. I par cooked it in the microwave as it needed to be very soft for me.

Post by: judydawn on October 22, 2021, 09:29:59 am: I thought this Fish Casserole recipe sounded interesting https://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipes/fish-casserole/aq80lrbc
I had 2 flathead fillets so used them, for one serve I reduced the sauce to 1/3 can of tomatoes and 2 tbspns cream. Was a bit worried the cooking time was far too long so reduced it to 20 minutes which was also too much. I can only eat fish if it is very moist and not over cooked but this odd combination was very tasty and next time I’ll cook the fish and sauce separately then pour the sauce over the top when serving. This was served with a potato au gratin which was cooked in the same dish in the a/f, the sauce was nice over that too.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on October 22, 2021, 10:07:10 am: Looks tasty Judy.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on October 22, 2021, 11:51:42 am: It was Chookie, I’d never seen a tomato/cream sauce on a fish recipe before. I found the print out from 2008 in my printing machine ready to have another recipe printed on the reverse side so I kept it aside to try. Recipes were so much more simple back in 2008.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on October 22, 2021, 12:10:10 pm: It certainly sounds different and tasty Judy.

We had a prawn risotto.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on October 23, 2021, 04:05:43 am: A nice meal Judy. That sauce is similar to one the family always want when we have fish, although I don't have cream in mine. I always make some up in tomato season and freeze it.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on October 23, 2021, 07:29:08 am: I put cream in everything these days Margaret and I’ll certainly make this sauce again, it would even be nice just mixed through pasta.

I did a copy cat recipe for lunch. Roast chicken, mostly breast. Cut up small, mixed with a generous amount of TMX Mayo, chives SAnd P and a squeeze of lemon juice. Butter fresh bread, spread generous amount of sloppy filling and top with second slice of bread. He trims the crusts off. I left them on. Delicious. I also used Japanese Milk bread made with Laucke grain mix.

I used to buy them for special events at the Probus Club I was in, leftover food went to those who wanted it (usually everyone) but for some reason they left the sandwiches so that’s how I know they stay fresh for days.

Post by: achookwoman on November 10, 2021, 11:22:56 am: Cookie, l love making sausages. Friend and I made a very large batch a couple of years ago. We wanted different flavours so we would make a mix and then fry a bit in the frying pan. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
We have been buying sausages from a local who makes small goods. He delivers and we are having a deliver this Saturday. I found for the BBQ it was best to bring the sausages to the boil in a pot of water . Then they only had to be browned on BBQ.
Yours sound very nice.
I do rather like the Bunnings sausages even though they are poor quality.
Probably fat, flour and seasoning.
Flathead fillets in egg and Panko crumbs, for dinner with home made chips and cold slaw.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on November 11, 2021, 03:42:27 am: A sausage sizzle out always tastes nice. As you say Chookie probably full of fat etc.. I've found a butcher at our local Westfield that has quite nice sausages.

Dinner tonight is miso salmon for DD and I and DH will have a slice from our first Christmas ham. We usually end up having 2.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on November 11, 2021, 06:12:15 am: I'm another one who likes sausages. I always bought one when we went to Bunnings. I think of it as supporting the local clubs and charities. :)

Post by: judydawn on November 11, 2021, 06:46:14 am: It’s the smell of the onions that get you in, I always used to buy one (once I even went back for a second one) but since having to eat soft food I haven’t tried one, the bread is out for starters and I doubt it would be the same without that. I still enjoy the smell though.

Post by: achookwoman on November 30, 2021, 08:33:31 pm: That reminds me Mab. I’m making individual Xmas puds this year. Not everyone likes pudding but many of my friends do. The recipe on my Blog and also posted here is very popular with some family and friends.
I have to say that the lamb cutlets from Cosco were very good quality. Instead of dipping them in egg, I made a mixture of Mayo and plum vinegar, then Panko crumbs . Next time I will add a little mustard.
Tonight fish.

Post by: judydawn on December 04, 2021, 10:09:37 pm: I had it with a pumpkin sauce last night Marina and tonight it will be with a zucchini/tomato sauce. It makes for a very quick meal when you already have the sauces made and frozen so I’ll make another batch of the pasta and freeze that in packs as well.

Post by: cookie1 on December 05, 2021, 09:16:21 am: We will be having something light. We had our car club Christmas lunch today. I think the caterer may have a thermomix as some of the salads looked very familiar and the gravy was in a thermoserver. It was fairly nice. At least I didn’t have to cook it or do the dishes.

Ate too much but had a lovely evening on our roof top deck. As there hadn't been too many opportunities to take advantage of the area since it was finished due to COVID, it was our first real use of the deck since we got the renovations done two years ago and it was a lovely warm evening with good company so a great night was had by all.

Post by: K Atie on December 16, 2021, 10:18:30 pm: Chookie the layered steak salad is easy as ,also great if people drop in and you don’t have enough steak for everyone. On a large rectangular plater start with Lettuce or baby spinach your vegetables blanched ( I used the termosever lid on for as long as it takes five minutes or so ) poured boiling water over them . Same with the rice glass noddles in thermo server boiling water leave to cook drain put back in thermo server to keep warm . So noddles them slice the steak put on top add pomegranate molasses and juices of the meat . It’s so easy , just use what you have .

Last night crumbed lamb cutlets, mashed potatoes , Cauli and peas. Tonight, grilled steak. Thought I might try cooking the Bubble Potatoes that have taken over Tic Tok. Ral will love them, I will probably just taste 2 or 3.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on December 18, 2021, 01:21:15 am: I’ve never heard of them Chookie so had to google, love the look of them and I can see why they would be so popular.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on December 18, 2021, 04:07:13 am: These Bubble potatoes are a bit of a fiddle to make but so much nicer than potato gems. I put the pots through a potato ricer but could probably do it in the TMX. My secret ingredient was 1/2 teaspoon of bread improver as I had rice flour but not the glutenious one. I used dessertspoon, not tablespoons of the flours. I also used Dutch cream potatoes. I think waxy ones are probably better as the mixture will form a better log and stick together.
I also think the second fry could be done in the AF.
Title: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on December 18, 2021, 09:45:21 am: Yum. Off to check them out.
We had RTE Baked beans with olive bread tonight.

Those beans are very long cookie (compared to canned baked beans), what type did you use?
I had eggplant parmigiana at a restaurant tonight, it was delicious.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on December 18, 2021, 08:40:23 pm: The bubble potatoes, second fry to make them crispy, do well in AF.
I doubled the recipe for the next lot and mashed the potatoes with the flours in the TMX.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on December 18, 2021, 11:15:13 pm: I see there was another version using very finely sliced raw potato as well Chookie, are you going to give that version a try too? They puff up like little pillows.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on December 19, 2021, 08:42:36 pm: Judy, Ral looked at those and and suggested filling them with Wasabi. Wasabi is an on going joke here from when Ral took a spoonful at a party, not knowing what it was.
I think my little potato balls made with SD are an equal contender for this new recipe. But not everyone has SD.
Leftover quiche for dinner.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on December 19, 2021, 09:01:02 pm: Chookie, I would have loved to have been at that party to see Ral’s reaction to the wasabi episode. It’s not something I’ve ever tried as I don’t do very hot condiments.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on December 20, 2021, 02:30:43 am: Ooh! Wasabi gives you a kick, not hot like chilli but hot in its own way.

For the sausage rolls I blitzed onion and carrot and a slice of frozen bread. Added some Italian herbs and a dash of cayenne then the mince and did the reverse trick. It’s not pink like bought sausage mince but I know what’s in it.
Tonight is baked beans on toast. DD is eating out!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 08, 2022, 11:20:44 am: Thanks cookie, so many sausage roll recipes use ‘sausage mince’, there’s no way I would buy that but I like your idea to get the same texture of the pink stuff.

Also read about someone steaming a lot of potatoes and keeping them to use in different ways. So I steamed a pile in Varoma, in their skins. Have been using them for chips, cut in half and grilled and added to salads. Very handy.

Post by: achookwoman on January 16, 2022, 05:56:56 am: I often make a mushroom sauce but this one is a bit different. I think the Dijon mustard make all the difference. I adapted it to TMX.
1 tablespoons of oil
2 teaspoons of crushed garlic
1 onion
500 g button mushrooms
250 mls chicken stock
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Cook chopped onion in oil, 10 mins/100/ sp 1.
Add garlic and 1/4 ed mushrooms, cook 5 mins/ 100/ speed 1
Add stock , cook 10 mins/ :-:sp 1/ 100.
Add mustard and thicken with cornflour . If required.
Serve with parsley.
Makes 6 serves as a side.
This is roughly based on the CSIRO recipe.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 26, 2022, 01:23:24 am: K Atie when I moved to Darwin for 2 years back in 1970, because of the heat I presumed we would live on salads but because salad veggies were very expensive up there (3 times the price I was paying back in Adelaide) and they only lasted a few days so I soon changed to hot meals. We had very few salads at all, totally the opposite to how I expected it to be. I’m sure things are different now as surely the transport options to the NT are much better than they were 5 decades ago.

It’s cooked with the blade cover in place so hopefully we won’t end up with mush. It stops rotating every now and then and I expect it to beep. It’s meatballs in tomato sauce. I must make some spaghetti to go with it.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 27, 2022, 10:45:02 am: Sounds interesting cookie, all these new features makes our TM31’s look very basic but as I do basic very well it suits me. Which is your favourite model of the 3 you have or have had?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on January 27, 2022, 08:19:39 pm: Cookie, sounds interesting.
Judy, like Cookie, I have has the 3 models. Each has its advantages. The 31 is a good basic work horse. The 5 made it digital. The 6 is far more complex and adds more options. I will never use the 6 to full advantage. Cookie is far more adventuresome than me in getting the best from the 6. I still like to convert recipes to TMX so use what 6 has to offer. Other advantages are slightly larger bowl and available recipes. On the whole , to me, , the recipes available are very disappointing. It is handy to have my recipes on the 6 , but not essential.
My DIL. Who is an excellent cook, is still using the 31 and loves it. I’m giving her the 5 , but after using it with me last weekend she is not desperate to get her hands on it. She is very computer savvy so would probably enjoy the 6.
I will be interested to see what Cookie thinks as we are all different in our needs.
Judy, unless you want to play around and experiment with recipes, the 31 will do what you want. You may want to consider having it serviced and even new blades.
P S, if you need to entertain yourself, buy a 6 as there are so many options you will not be bored.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 28, 2022, 02:56:12 am: Thanks for that comprehensive report Chookie, I was just interested to hear what users thought. I cook so little these days and even then it is basic stuff so there’s no need to upgrade at all. Mine could do with a service but I don’t know if the SA repairer still does it or whether it has to go to Perth. All too much trouble to be bothered. I think I could even live without it if push came to shove.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on January 28, 2022, 11:40:35 am: I love the 6. It does so much, but I have to remember to use the programs.
. I still prefer to cook my eggs in the basket as I learned on the 31, and also rice. None are as good as the 31 for cooking pasta. About the 5 and 6 mush it. I now use the blade cover for pasta.
I find the 6 very smooth compared to the 5.
If I had to get rid of one it would be the 5. I don’t use Cookidoo that often as it seems to take ages and most of the recipes aren’t the best.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 28, 2022, 12:24:17 pm: Thanks cookie, it’s interesting to read what people think of the different models.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on January 28, 2022, 08:54:46 pm: Cookie, I have never cooked pasta in the TMX. Cook rice now in Miele steam oven. Still steam eggs in basket in TMX. Mashed potatoes, cook in basket and mash with butterfly. I think you are correct about the 5.
Judy, don’t give up on the TMX. You will eventually be able to eat more foods.

Post by: achookwoman on February 25, 2022, 09:15:33 pm: Trying not to waste anything. Found 2 leeks in the veggie draw. So made Leek, celery and potato soup. TMX of course.
When I bought the potatoes at the wholesale store, I asked for potatoes suitable for chips. When I asked what sort they were, I was told they call them chippies ;D
Ral loves chips and I have tried several ways to get them very crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Best method ( not deep frying) providing that the correct floury potatoes are used seems to be. ( 1) boil the potato chips until nearly falling apart. (2) strain and cool onto a tea towel. Shake to get some rough edges. (3) place in dish that will fit in AF and spray with oil. (4) cook at 200 until starting to brown, then turn over. Cook until crisp.
I have tried several types of fat. Duck fat is the best but not healthy. Olive oil works well but doesn’t taste right with the potatoes. Rice bran oil is best compromise.

Mab, I’ve never made a Boston Bun. Any pointers?

Chookie, as I remember it the recipe was basic and the mixture was quite moist. The finished loaf was a bit dense, not soft and fluffy like the bread we make now.
My recipe came from a PWMU recipe book, the first recipe book I ever owned and given to me by my Mother.
I'll put the recipe in the non tmx section.

A big piece of Barramundi and some prawns placed on top of a thin layer of slinky mashed sweet potato with broccoli served on the side. She poured a creamy, mustardy sauce over the seafood, I should have taken a photo as it was restaurant quality and apart from the broccoli I ate everything else quite easily. Why I could eat her prawns and not the ones I bought the other day is a mystery but hers were easy to eat - maybe they need to be freshly cooked and served hot for me rather than cold. This meal was better than anything I’ve had for the past 18 months.

I did a search for something similar to this and I found this one of RTE https://www.recipetineats.com/baked-fish-with-lemon-cream-sauce/#wprm-recipe-container-24989 then got in touch with DD to see if in fact it was that recipe. I had hit the nail on the head, it was. DD just added the prawns and they certainly made it extra special.

Cookie, It's really nothing special just bacon, onion & garlic fried in a little oil, sliced wombok cabbage, sliced mushrooms and sometimes sliced carrots or any other vegetable you want to add. More like a stir fry really.

Post by: judydawn on May 31, 2022, 08:12:15 am: Marina it’s certainly soup and stew weather everywhere now and it suits me perfectly.

Judy as a kid the only fish I ever had except in holidays was smoked cod. It was the only fish you could get in the bush. Mum sometimes used tinned salmon as I hated the bits of bone. In January we would go to Bunbury for 2 weeks holiday and stay with Dad’s brother, his wife and family. Fortunately they had a large house as there was 4 adults and 7 kids. Dad had a fishing boat down there an my Uncle looked after it. For 2 weeks we would gorge on the beautiful dhufish they caught.

Judy, that looks very nice, something that I would be able to eat.
Are you on a soft food diet too Margaret?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on October 20, 2022, 09:10:25 am: Judy, I choose soft foods by choice as I have difficulty swallowing. My oesophagus doesn't work properly. One end won't push the food down and the other end wants to push it back. It's called oesophagul motility disorder, added to that I suffer with terrible reflux problems. I can't eat hard food like steak, some chicken - depends how it is cooked, bread rolls, crusts, toast even some vegetables. Anything hard really. Fish is fine as are eggs and some pasta is ok occasionally. I mainly eat vegetables these days. Some nights I spend the night sitting up in bed. I've tried all sorts of ideas to help. I do have some medication but that doesn't always work.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on October 20, 2022, 09:57:29 am: Thanks for the explanation Margaret, I then read more about it on Google and I really feel for you with this disorder. I was pleased to read it isn’t life threatening but it’s just an awful thing to have to live with. I cannot eat the same things as you as well but for a completely different reason - you come to accept what you can and cannot eat and just get on with it don’t you? Your side effects are a lot worse than mine, I have always said there are a lot of people out there worse off than me and you are another one of those people.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Post by: judydawn on October 26, 2022, 09:26:54 am: Having done a new inventory of my freezer I had serves of frittata and veggie timbales that I wanted to get rid of so, rather than throw them out (I didn’t want to eat them as they were), I blitzed some of each, added a spoon of garlic dip and some milk before heating my new soup.

I thought it would just be 1 skewer but no there were 2, each with 3 prawns and 3 pieces of salmon and it was much more than I would usually eat. Prawns and salmon cooked to just how I like it, it went to the top of my list of any of the meals I’ve had out in the last couple of years. Couldn’t resist an ice-cream sundae and it was huge, biggest serve of ice-cream I’ve ever seen but I ploughed through it. Another great evening with my friends.

Post by: Cuilidh on December 24, 2022, 08:05:17 am: This is the recipe Margaret. I usually just grab a bottle of mango off the shelf in the supermarket and use as much as I like and I use soy milk. http://www.cooks-notebook.com.au/2013/11/thermomix-mango-custard/ Everyone who has it has absolutely loves it - in fact, they didn't even realise it wasn't dairy custard until I told them.

Vareniki wasn’t one. His Mum made soups a lot as the boys wouldn’t eat vegetables I eventually tried Borscht and loved it. She also made another soup with slime green stuff. It looked ghastly. It took me a long time to try it but it was lovely. She wasn’t the best cook, except of Ukrainian dishes.

Your MIL's cooking sounds like my DM's - she was from the Outer Hebrides of Scotland and anything that came off the croft or from the sea she was fine ... sheep's head soup anyone? She would be totally stumped by the meals / food that I use today.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on January 01, 2023, 11:36:47 pm: Cookie, that certainly look good.
As a child, I grew up in a family of good cooks. I was lucky as I can eat almost anything. I couldn’t try the raw whale in Norway. But this was partly because I didn’t agree with killing them.
When I met RAL , he was a meat and 3 veg boy. Now he will try most stuff I cook. I’m not very good at Indian or Central European but do have a go. I could do with a lesson from Cookie’s DH.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on January 04, 2023, 07:52:04 pm: Marina, interesting. Good as you can use up those extra veggies in the fridge.
Looking for inspiration.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 04, 2023, 09:31:29 pm: I found a packet of Lite & Easy spaghetti bolognaise in the freezer clean out yesterday so had that for dinner last night. Well some of it, I will have another meal of it tonight. It wasn’t bad, the flavour was a bit strong which is why I could only eat half of it. Every now and then I try something in a box and this is the first one I’ve been able to eat.

Marina are you doing anything different to a cheese sauce on those veggies. I’m really not enjoying veggies at the moment, sick of cheese sauce and tomato based ones too. Guess it doesn’t leave much else to try does it!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on January 05, 2023, 02:23:14 am: Silverside with potato bake, carrot & parsnip mash and home grown beans from our garden.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on January 05, 2023, 06:22:17 pm: Oh Mab , how lovely to have some home grown veggies.
Tried new recipe yesterday. Chicken cubes , dusted with cornflour spray with little oil,
and cooked in AF. When cooked, covered in a Chinese type sauce.
Judy, you may like this as an alternative to cheese and tomato sauces.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on January 05, 2023, 07:05:01 pm: Judy, this isn't a "cheese" sauce per se as it is vegan and uses nutritional yeast flakes as a substitute for dairy cheese. This is DH's adaptation,

1/2 cup of margarine
1/2 cup plain flour
1L almond or soy milk
6 tbs nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 ½ teaspoons mustard
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon mixed dried herbs

All in TMX. 20 sec / sp 7 then 9 min / 90 / sp 3. He would also suggest adding some cauliflower to the sauce at the first 20 second mix mark to chop it finely.

When finished use it as a pasta type sauce or in a bake or over veges on the side. It makes quite a large quantity and I am not sure of how it will freeze, perhaps there will be note in the original recipe, below. If you are not used to it the nutritional yeast may not be to your taste, but it is worth a try.

The original recipe is https://www.theannoyedthyroid.com/2017/09/11/vegan-potato-bake/

I know you are fed up (sorry for the pun) with tomato sauces, but have a look at this recipe from Caroline W as well, it is also a simple sauce but tastes fantastic http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4528.0

and there is also this RTE recipe which I tried earlier this week https://www.recipetineats.com/quick-broccoli-pasta/

Hope you get some inspiration from one of the above.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 06, 2023, 05:35:40 am: It’s so very kind of you ladies to try and help me with my food problems. I promise you that I will write all these ideas down so that I don’t have to refer to the links again - there’s more chance I will do things if I have them in a book I’ve started, hardly a day goes by that I don’t add something else to the book but so far there’s only 1 recipe I’d do again (a peanut butter fruit dip so not really food). I’m trying to do meals for 1 person when I do try something different (2 serves for me) so that I don’t waste as much as I have been doing. It keeps me occupied finding these recipes and every now and then I try something different, when it doesn’t turn out I just go back to my scrambled eggs, pasta or soup again. Chookie I like the sound of the Asian sauce, my best meal out was a Chinese meal and they were kind enough to cook the veggies soft for me. I can and will try all your suggestions but don’t hold your breath for me to report back, this hot weather makes me even less hungry and not wanting to cook. Thankfully I can eat quite a few salad ingredients. Bless you for caring xx

Post by: Cuilidh on January 06, 2023, 06:03:23 am: It is absolutely my pleasure to jot down ideas that may appeal to you, Judy, and I hope you get some inspiration from any of the above. If I think of anything else I will let you know, although most of my meals are for two plus portions into the freezer, but I will keep you in mind.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on January 06, 2023, 06:22:55 am: Last night we had a sort of mini quiche. The base was cooked spaghetti, then you added chopped ham, and mixed eggs with some low fat cream and grated parmesan and poured over it. I cooked them in muffin tins. They were very tasty, and I had a couple for lunch with salad too.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 06, 2023, 08:03:14 am: I whipped up a quick meal for tonight using one bundle of hot Ramen noodles with a peanut butter/Mirin/soy/chilli sauce based very roughly on this recipe which I made over a decade ago and not since. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/cold-peanut-soba-with-chicken-1973884. I originally saw a lady called Claire Robinson making the sauce only version on a Foxtel programme using only 5 ingredients. My notes on my typed recipe were positive back then but I was surprised that I really enjoyed it tonight as my taste buds have changed drastically these days. Cooked the noodles for 5 minutes and whisked the sauce ingredients whilst they cooked, there’s enough leftover to try it as a salad addition over the weekend. Followed it up with custard and mango.

Cookie, they sound interesting.
Turkey and mushroom cottage pie tonight. Will make 4 serves and have the other 2 tomorrow, as it’s heating up again for the next few days. More mango fluff trifle. Can’t drink the grog but can certainly eat it. ;D

Post by: Cuilidh on January 16, 2023, 10:08:45 am: Judy, I believe peaches are good just now, maybe worth an experiment to buy one? I find the white ones tastier. Several years ago I totally pigged out on white nectarines now, much to my dismay, I can't eat them ... same with raw mangoes (with the exception of my mango custard which I love!)
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 16, 2023, 11:52:03 am: Thanks Marina, I’ll try one then. Last year I bought a box of white peaches from Costco and they were terrible so I rang them and they confirmed my opinion of them. Many had already been given a refund, I was so glad it wasn’t just me. I wouldn’t have worried for just a couple but 12 big ones were pretty costly and they needed to know how bad they were.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on January 16, 2023, 07:33:57 pm: Hope you get a nice tasty one this time, Judy. If Costco were aware that they were selling a bad batch, why didn't they withdraw them for sale or advise that they were 2nds.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 16, 2023, 11:55:24 pm: They looked perfect at the time Marina, fruit is never ripe when you buy it so it would have taken a week or so before their customers realised they were not edible. I’m sure they removed them as soon as the complaints started coming in.

Tonight is rolls from the freezer with Tuscan Bean soup from Cookidoo.

Judy, I believe peaches are good just now, maybe worth an experiment to buy one? I find the white ones tastier.

I saw some nice white peaches in Farmer Joe’s so bought 2 on Thursday. They were very firm so I was surprised but optimistic when they softened within 2 days. They were perfect Marina, I can’t remember when I last bought stone fruit that were this good so thank you for the heads up.

Post by: mab19 on January 24, 2023, 04:54:28 am: Thanks Chookie, we eat fairly plainly here as that is what the family like. I do try out other dishes at times and they just have to eat what I cook. Because there are a lot of things I can't eat I tend to go more vegetable type dishes.

DD came yesterday and brought Italian take away so we are having the left overs tonight. I ate mine for lunch as that seems better for me.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 26, 2023, 09:23:19 am: Marina, yesterday I made the sauce you suggested (Carolines), served it over pasta but it wasn’t anything special to my tastebuds so I thought I would add some cheese, garlic powder and a tiny bit of tinned salmon for tonight’s dinner. I served it over Bron’s garlic rice which I had in the freezer but 1 mouthful and I knew it wasn’t going to work for me. I made a batch of the rice some time ago and froze it in 1/2 cup portions, I thought I would be able to eat it with something saucy but apparently not. I used to love tuna but now I don’t (my specialist said this would happen with some foods) so I thought I’d use the can of salmon already in the pantry but it’s no different to eating tuna. It’s all a matter of trial and error and I’m lucky if 1 out of 10 works for me. I haven’t given up yet as I still love to cook. I ended up having a scrambled egg, tomato & avocado followed by trifle.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on January 26, 2023, 02:52:08 pm: Sorry to hear that the sauce didn't work out for you Judy, despite your experiments. Was the taste too strong, not strong enough or just not interesting? It sounds like you are still finding quite a few things that you used to enjoy but can no longer tolerate. Such a long-term learning curve for you.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on January 27, 2023, 12:21:23 am: Marina there’s probably nothing wrong with the recipe, I can tolerate different foods at different times so never know how anything is going to taste anymore. The original was flavourless and my additions just made it taste horrible and it shouldn’t have. The fact that I’m rarely feeling hungry doesn’t help, who wants to eat when they’re not hungry. I just have to live with this, it’s hardly likely to change after 2.5 years and thank goodness I enjoy my Sustagen smoothies and many desserts are nice too. I only have 2 meals a day now but I’ve got to the stage where my fitness level seems to be back to pre-op days so I really don’t have anything to complain about. I do like Asian flavours so Chookie’s suggestion is next on my list when I feel like having another go at something different.

I think you need to be very disciplined when cooking for one ... most weekends I am up here by myself and just snack / nibble my way through the day and don't eat a real meal or very properly at all. If DH is with me I behave with my food!

Post by: cookie1 on March 10, 2023, 06:03:43 am: It would be wonderful if those that cooked for one could share, but then you would need to like similar things. My Mum got fed up and tried the meals you can have delivered. She didn't last long with that though.

We're having a chick pea curry tonight.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on March 10, 2023, 07:41:07 am: I also find it a problem cooking for one. Because I eat very little meat of chicken I normally just have what ever veg the family are eating or soup unless I make some type of vegetarian dish.

That's very generous of you Marina. I eat most vegetables and lentils and beans but I don't like tofu. I can eat the odd nut occasionally but need to be careful because of diviticulitis, they are ok if they have been finely ground in the tmx and used in a cashew sauce etc. Thanks again for the thought.

This mushroom side dish is delicious - you may have to hunt around a bit for liquid smoke but you might find it in a health food shop: https://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=17163.0https://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=17163.0

White bean & mushroom stew - this is from Minimalist Baker - I think you may already follow her blog: https://minimalistbaker.com/cozy-white-bean-mushroom-stew-vegan/

Another great resource is the recipe books from the Revive Cafe in Auckland, NZ.

I am sure you know this already, but, just in case ... when cooking cashews soak in hot water for as long as possible - I find an overnight soak leaves them a bit slimy so I soak them in a bowl with hot water for an hour or so, rinsing and refreshing with fresh hot water every 1/2 hour or so once it cools down, then into the TMX on 9 or 10 for at least 1 minute to get a nice smooth mix.

Post by: achookwoman on March 11, 2023, 08:27:07 pm: Marina, I loved the list that you put together for Mab. The roasted mushrooms reminds me of one that I used to make. Similar ingredients but not baked. I also liked the Mexican Bean recipe but too many carbs for me.
Tonight, grilled fish and veggies.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on March 12, 2023, 12:32:46 am: Marina & Judy, thank you both for the list of recipes. I had no idea there were so many recipes on the forum 1 or 2 people. It will take me a while to look through them all but I will certainly check them all out.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on March 12, 2023, 10:46:43 am: We had a beef stir fry tonight with rice.

Mab I searched everywhere for liquid smoke, then I found some in a shop that sold American foods. It was just over $8 for a bottle.

Post by: Cuilidh on March 17, 2023, 09:51:02 pm: A Quirky Jo recipe - Vegetables with cashews and satay sauce; this might work for you, Margaret. I have adapted my recipe to tofu which I know you don't like, but if you eat meat that is what the original recipe calls for. https://www.quirkycooking.com.au/2011/01/chicken-and-cashews-with-coconut-satay-sauce-and-coconut-rice/ It makes a huge meal, but is easily frozen if necessary. The sauce works well with either coriander or parsley.

The recipe was from CSIRO Lo Carb easy 100. It was Salmon with cherry toms and a corn salad. It was the little tweaks that made it so tasty. The fresh corn had walnuts added and was charred in a little oil. The salmon was dusted with paprika and also cooked in a spray of oil. The toms had parsley and dill added. I gave this recipe 10/10

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on April 25, 2023, 09:50:03 am: I had frozen stir fried veggies and vermicelli pasta with RTE’s Charlie sauce https://www.recipetineats.com/real-chinese-purpose-stir-fry-sauce/
Loved the pasta and sauce but I’ve really gone off veggies these days. I cooked them a lot longer to try and soften them once I added the sauce but they were still too hard and difficult for me to eat. Normally I would steam fresh veggies for a stir fry but I’ve had this packet in the freezer for quite a while so needed to do something with it. The rest of the packet will probably become a chicken soup.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on April 25, 2023, 08:38:10 pm: That looks tasty Judy. It's a shame you are having trouble with veges at the moment. Soups sound like a good way to get them into your meal rotation - how about mashed cauliflower ... actually, mashed anything? One of my all time favourites is potatoes, swedes and carrots mashed together - I love this combination.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on April 26, 2023, 01:22:22 am: It doesn’t seem to get any better Marina, I get sick of most things I have been able to eat over the past almost 3 years.I loved salad veggies for quite a while but haven’t been interested in them for many weeks now. Even the humble scrambled or poached egg is nothing to look forward to. I’ve spoken to my doctor about what I eat (or don’t eat) and as I’m not losing weight he was quite happy for me to continue with my mainly sustagen based diet. It’s not Ike I’m hungry, my breakfast smoothie can keep me satisfied for as long as 9 hours so I don’t eat lunch and have to make myself have something for tea just because I feel as though I have to eat something, regardless of whether I’m hungry or not. If I do go out on the odd occasion for lunch I just pick out what I can eat and it’s enough for the rest of the day. Rarely find anything totally suitable so my social life has suffered greatly as it’s generally a waste of time and just too hard. I ask them to cook the veggies softer or cook the pasta longer but they just can’t seem to do this for me.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on April 26, 2023, 07:01:49 am: Judy your meal looks very tasty. I know how you feel about meals. I find it hard to get interested in a dinner meal but I still have to cook for the men.
Tonight the men are having salmon with chips and mixed steamed greens. I will have some of the tomato soup I made yesterday.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on April 26, 2023, 10:16:44 am: It sure is Margaret, I’m lucky that I only have myself to look after but once a month I get to cook homecoming visit meals for my Melbourne kids so I do look forward to planning and shopping for that. Trouble is I can’t tell if it’s tasty or not, doing mainly RTE recipes for them now as they seem to hit the spot, especially for the SIL.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on April 27, 2023, 09:30:57 am: Take 2 on a stir-fry meal. I bought some fresh veggies and had another go at a meal like I had last night, this time I was able to cook the veggies until were soft and therefore edible. Thinly sliced cabbage, onion and red pepper, grated carrot & zucchini and small steamed pieces of cauli, some noodles and Charlie sauce - much better.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Post by: K Atie on April 28, 2023, 02:15:33 am: Seems microwaves don’t like me this would possibly be no 9-10 . Have no idea was warming bowls as I have done for years for a few seconds and sounded like a noisy fan was going . Smoke coming out from inside . My DH just laughs and said get another one . I should be banned from them . Really only use to quick heat food up and zap vegetables if not using the TMX .
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on April 28, 2023, 05:23:03 am: Gosh Katie that is rather frightening. My microwave must be 30 years old at least and is still going well. I had it checked and it is still fine to use.

Last night we had lamb shank casserole, tonight will be spaghetti bolognaise with salad and home made garlic bread.

My lovely soup cups I can’t use in microwave so have to heat them with boiling water from kettle and heat the soup in Pyrex, then tip in. Any earthenware is not suitable. I think it is the iron in the pottery that overheats.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on May 06, 2023, 09:09:20 pm: Good news about the oat and apple pancakes, Judy, good to hear you have found another meal that you enjoy and can eat.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on May 06, 2023, 11:36:51 pm: Well done Judy. I love stuffed pancakes when not very hungry.
I bought 5 large prawns and made a prawn and cold slaw roll for lunch.

Last night, DD and GS brought fish and chips around and we ate it straight from the paper.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on May 07, 2023, 12:39:33 am: Cookie what a delicious lunch . Fish and chips straight from the paper too.
DH DS cooked steak and vegetables with potato gems ... I had a very bad migraine so no meat and a few vegetables two potato gems .
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on May 07, 2023, 12:47:58 am: The way to go Chookie. I used to love eating my fish and chips wrapped in paper when I was a child. Mum worked in a fish and chip shop near my school (and our home) so I had F & C a few times a week.

I’m continually looking for and trying new recipes, it’s almost a full time job looking after myself LOL. SIL bought some Costco prawns last time they were over, I got to try one to see if it was moist enough (some aren’t) and it was perfect so I had 3 before I was full. I received any invitation to lunch the next day for a prawn cocktail, he had given me and his Mum the leftovers whilst he had a pasty. He was so happy to see me eat something.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on May 07, 2023, 08:39:52 pm: Judy, I know what you mean about if the prawns were moist enough. I don’t often buy cooked prawns as they are often too dry. Stale I think. The ones I bought were from Wilson’s and were large and perfect. Also very expensive. However the new shopping me also bought, 1 fig, 2 plums, 4 kiwi fruit, and a Cauli. They also had curried scallop pies, made in Tessie. . I bought one of these for my DD.
KAtie, there is a new Wilson’s shop in Lucas , which is on your side of Ballarat. Not as well stocked as the original shop, but pretty good.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on May 07, 2023, 11:36:09 pm: Chookie I love Wilson’s , Lucas only has seafood , DH will always go home that way so if I’m with him have to stop and get some treats . Finding the other Wilson’s has much less now , not sure why . Just think everything is expensive, less is more too.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on May 08, 2023, 09:18:08 am: I made a stew for myself with 2 packs of meaty beef bones today ($1.74), there was enough meat on them for 1 serve to freeze for SIL as I only wanted the veggies. Surprisingly I enjoyed it, last time I made a stew (probably last winter) I didn’t.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on May 08, 2023, 11:31:46 am: Judy it’s good that you have found something else you can eat. Chookie your prawns sound delicious. I rarely buy them.
We had chicken schnitzel, chips and stir fried veggies. DH cooked it.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on May 08, 2023, 09:54:17 pm: KAtie, Wilson’s at Lucas has steak and lamb as well as the fish. Agree their other shop has less variety than before.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on May 26, 2023, 06:03:44 am: Join the club Chookie. I had this the other night, every now and then I do a ‘let’s give this another try’. Whenever I go out with anyone for a meal (very rarely these days I might add) I always take a chip off someone’s plate. I seem to be able to fool my mouth and get one down reasonably easily with the aid of water after chewing to get the taste. I made a small potato into chips and par-cooked them in the microwave earlier in the day then air fried them, thawed out a cube of gravy (excuse the messy dish) to dip each chip well. They were much easier to eat than the restaurant ones and to be able to eat 9 of them was a real treat.

Judy, so true. While we waited for our order, they gave us a cup of lentil soup. I’ve given most of the Minestrone away so will make some of the lentil soup. Several different versions online. I could taste cardamom and cumin with a little heat. I’ll look for a recipe that has these.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on June 28, 2023, 12:34:05 am: That’s a shame K Artie. I always feel that half the joy of a nice meal is how it looks.
I got up early and made the filling for pasties and roasted a chicken and prepared veggies for tonight.

Post by: K Atie on June 28, 2023, 02:24:31 am: We have pie filling now !! Unfortunately orange sesame chicken with soba noddles and broccoli was shredded too . But it really was nice .

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on June 29, 2023, 03:17:08 am: Happy Birthday Marina, enjoy your evening out. Remember age is just a number, it's how we feel within ourselves that counts.

Judy, what’s your favourite mix for smoothies. ? Think I should try this for dinner.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on September 29, 2023, 08:35:54 am: Chookie I’ve only made 4 so far over a 6 night period as some are large enough for 2 meals.

https://thenutritionadventure.com/chocolate-strawberry-power-smoothie/ This was really nice but I replaced the cocoa powder with 3 scoops chocolate sustagen and used prunes in lieu of dates as I didn’t have any dates at that time. 6 oz of milk is 178 ml.

This Broccoli smoothie was nice too https://www.google.com/gasearch?q=saltand%20baker.com%20broccoli%20smoothie&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5. I froze 3 bags of this one then just added the pineapple juice and water once it was in the TM jug plus my usual addition of the Sustagen powder. How this changes the taste of the smoothie I don’t know but this Berry Cabbage one was not nice until I added it https://iliveforgreens.com/green-cabbage-smoothie/

Some recipes have added protein powder in them so this is virtually what I’m adding when using the Sustagen. I don’t expect to like them all but I’d like to try them all and end up with a good selection of enjoyable smoothies as a replacement meal.
Title: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on September 29, 2023, 09:15:42 am: Chookie that looks delicious.

We are having Chicken and Mushrooms Vol au Vents, but to be a little healthier I have made one large one instead of several small ones I got the idea from Cookidoo.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on September 30, 2023, 10:48:11 am: Tonight’s meal was a Celery Smoothie https://saltandbaker.com/celery-smoothie/
I made it before going down to the kids’ place for the day, it tasted better when I returned home than when freshly made. Silly me, I used all frozen ingredients so should have only added water instead of ice-cubes to blend it so as a consequence the smoothie didn’t blend well and I ended up adding 2.5 more cups of almond milk with the sustagen to come up to a good texture. I’ll be having this one for breakfast tomorrow and my evening meal as well, I’m learning a lot as I go on this journey but so far have not had to throw any out.

I felt like a nice piece of steak tonight, so when I was shopping, I mortgaged the house, and bought a couple of pieces. They even had security protection! A friend gave us some fresh peas so we will have baby jacket potatoes in the AF as well.DH will need onions too.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on October 04, 2023, 09:02:47 am: Steak is not on the menu these days for many families cookie but occasionally it would be nice to splurge. I’m sure your family will enjoy their lovely meaty meal tonight.
I had minestrone soup tonight as it’s pretty cold at the moment, it was a bought packet of 2 serves - not bad but nothing to rave over, I did eat it. Best part of my meal was some gelato my DD brought down from Gelatissimo at Glenelg - it came in a polystyrene container and will last me a couple of weeks.

I guess it is not surprising as I am a vegetarian, but I hadn't realised that the cost of meat was so high. I remember when I was in my teens (pre-vege days) you could get a leg of lamb for $2.00!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: K Atie on October 05, 2023, 12:46:25 am: The sad case is the value of live lamb on the market is halved from last year and then some . What you can get for a sheep is the cost of a pack of lamb chops is the price of a whole sheep sold in the yards ! Yet the butchers in Melbourne are selling lamb cutlets for $79. Kilo, Howes that possible. Obviously it’s cheaper at the supermarkets but still a lot . The fact that there is no change of price in the shops is telling you that all on sellers are taking a huge profit . Agriculture producers are crippled in all areas , so sad . Everything is like this across the board , so we have good years and bad and that is life challenges. Sorry to rant only it’s going to be a very tough time ahead for all and no one benefits from any of this . Also you cannot control the weather no matter what we try . Still eat and enjoy our food .
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on October 05, 2023, 07:56:32 am: Some farmers are shooting their sheep as by the time they transport them and pay costs they would be out of pocket. A sad thing.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on October 05, 2023, 08:01:00 am: KAtie, that is truly awful. As you say, no one benefits.
Early in our married life, when we had 2 small children, one income and little money,I would go to the wholesale meat market and buy a lamb. I would take a chocolate cake and the men would split the lamb down the middle. I would wrap it in a clean sheet and put it in the boot of the car. My parents would have half and we the other. I would cut it up and freeze what we wouldn’t eat immediately. We ate very well for little cost and a bit of home butchering. No middle man.
Local supermarket, $40 K for lamb cutlets. When I can, I buy a tray of French trimmed lamb cutlets from Cosco. Last time $80 for 3 K.

Tonight’s was a pumpkin and banana one https://chefsavvy.com/pumpkin-banana-smoothie/ but I forgot to add the Sustagen which I think would have lifted it. Was OK but a bit tart with the yoghurt. Will remember the Sustagen for when I use the other 2 dump bags I have in the freezer for this particular recipe.

I didn’t get around to making the Risotto because I discovered 2 steamed corn cobs. I made corn fritters instead from RTE. The adaptation of Bill Grangers recipe. They were excellent. I added a large Wasabi leaf to the mix. I made a salad from a whole small lettuce from the garden.

Post by: judydawn on October 08, 2023, 09:01:55 am: Pear cucumber smoothie https://iliveforgreens.com/pear-cucumber-smoothie/#recipe with added Sustagen and 1 T flaxseed with chia and almonds. This made 2 smoothies for me, it wasn’t too bad but wouldn’t be among my favourites.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on October 08, 2023, 07:05:53 pm: Judy, thanks for posting your smoothie reviews. I am following them with a great deal of interest as I know I really should start making them, but I am never really happy with the recipes - I usually fall back on plain fruit with a few seeds / nuts thrown in.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on October 08, 2023, 08:39:54 pm: Judy, thanks for the links. This one looks interesting. I now have lots to look forward to. I enjoy them most when the weather is warm. Soup suits me best when cold. I suppose soup is really often just a warm smoothie.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on October 08, 2023, 10:41:33 pm: Thanks Marina and Chookie, glad to hear of your interest. Having put together a comprehensive set of recipes for myself it’s nice to know others can tap into them. I agree with you Chookie, soup is great for cooler weather but after a long winter I’m so pleased to be able to have something different on our warmer days. Cooler weather I have soup or scrambled eggs but was glad the warmer weather returned as I’m loving my smoothies. At the weekend I bought a 500g pack of baby spinach which I packed in 1 cup lots, it was difficult to find space for them in the freezer.

Post by: cookie1 on October 09, 2023, 09:52:35 am: It’s a little cooler here today so we are having a casserole. I couldn’t be bothered browning the meat etc so I just put it in the casserole dish and put it in the oven.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on October 09, 2023, 09:06:12 pm: Cookie, I can’t tell the difference wheather browned first or not.
GS came for dinner last night. As I was out most of the day, I put roast beef in the SC , set on low. Cooked beautifully. I prepared all the veggies and steamed the potatoes and pumpkin early and then roasted them in the AF. Crepes for Pud. He took the leftovers home.
Chicken breast someway tonight.

Post by: cookie1 on October 10, 2023, 12:13:32 pm: The smoothie Queen. 😀😀😀

I minced a couple od chicken breasts. Coated them in Panko breadcrumbs. I put some passata on the top, with some grated cheese and baked them. They were quite nice.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on October 10, 2023, 07:05:10 pm: That carrot smoothie looks good, Judy. Did you separate the passionfruit seeds out or grind them in? Which seeds did you use?
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on October 10, 2023, 09:29:41 pm: No I left the seeds of the passionfruit in Marina. I picked up a packet of Hemp & Chia seeds with slivered almonds from Chemist Warehouse, I used 1T but I’m going to reduce that to 1 tsp.

Smoothie tonight was a Creamy Berry Smoothie with spinach and cauli (recipe was for blueberry but I have that in my morning smoothie so used strawberries). Turned out too much for me so will have it tomorrow night as well. https://lifestylemedicine.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/ACLM-Food-As-Medicine-Jumpstart-8.5x11.pdf An interesting read for those interested, you will have to scroll a lot to reach the smoothie recipe.

Certainly different but it had 5 stars from reviews so thought it was worth trying. Mine is a different colour because I added Sustagen.

Post by: achookwoman on November 24, 2023, 10:07:47 pm: Mab, when I read your posts about fresh fish, it makes my mouth water. After eating fresh fish from the lakes recently I realised what crap is available in Ballarat. It is a shame as we grow beautiful potatoes which go with the fish.
The best I can do for fish is buy a very very expensive pack from Wilsons. I did this yesterday. Marinara Mix , even had small clams in shells. I made Marinara with garlic oil and diced tomatoes and mushrooms. Delicious.
Similar tonight but will use a tomato base. With luck, there will be a little over to make a Marinara Pizza.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on November 28, 2023, 06:32:21 am: Thanks Judy.
DJ, the Japanese Milk Bread was developed in Japan after the 2 nd WW. The American Soldiers wanted bread like they could buy in the Supermarket back in America. It’s a very soft bread with a fine crumb. It is particularly good for a chicken and Mayo sandwich, egg and lettuce or Asparagus rolls. The best approximate bread here in Australia is Bakers Delight hi fibre. However this is loaded with preservatives. Try it. You can even make it in a bread machine.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on January 09, 2024, 07:44:45 pm: The food on the Cruise was amazing. Several things stood out , both good and mad. Crepes were made ahead and added to the sauce at the table. Duck was always well cooked but not the lobster. It was rubbery. Lots of large prawns and cold soup in small coffee type cups as a starter. Surprisingly lovely.
Tonight I’m having tandoori lamb cutlets with salad and rice. Cherries.

With the warm weather I’m BBQing. Tonight grilled, sweet potato chips, green beans, tomato , nectarine and prawns. Served with Japanese rice. That is equal parts of rice and sweetcorn. Dressed with butter, sushi dressing and a little Soy Sauce.

Post by: judydawn on March 02, 2024, 11:39:05 am: My SIL gave me an air fryer they had but had never used when my Phillips was playing up. I’ve certainly got my moneys worth from that one but I now can’t adjust the temperature and the timer doesn’t count down. I tried a cheesy cauliflower ‘steak’ but I used mozzarella, I don’t know why I even tried it as I know I can’t eat melted cheese. I should have used Parmesan, that would be easier to eat.

You’re a great Grandma Chookie.
It’s so nice to have young people around. I had 4 for dinner last night. It’s nice to see the boys treating the girls with respect. We have great discussions about what they are doing with their work and study. They clean up after the meal and stack the dish washer.

I ended up having a bit of my daughter’s fettuccine with prawns, you couldn’t even see where it went missing from her huge serve. At this time of the year you’d think hotels and restaurants would have soup on the menu.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on May 02, 2024, 12:09:29 pm: Very true Judy.

We were unexpectedly busy this afternoon so had fish and chips for dinner. We went over to see how the motorhome schedule was going. Apparently it’s all according to plan at the moment. We will see if it keeps on track. We then went to look at Suzuki Jimney. We will sell one of our cars and buy one to tow behind the motorhome. All in the future at the moment.

No way does anyone need the amount of dried ingredients. That’s just because they have a deal with grandmas pantry dried goods . Once that’s all removed it is great . Out for dinner last night !

Make a batch of SOS sauce.
Add as much cooked chicken as it will take. ( salmon or prawns )
Cook button mushrooms in EVOO, add to sauce and chicken.
Add a large handful of chopped parsley.
Add cream to thin out a little and dilute the taste of the SOS sauce.
Serve topped with pastry, potato or bread crumbs. Or as I did, over garlic bread.

Judy and I will probably have soup for Dinner tonight. Perhaps pumpkin with a proper chicken stock base. I’m going to the butcher to get some beef bones to make bone broth.

Post by: judydawn on June 03, 2024, 02:08:47 am: Yesterday for lunch (yes me eating lunch which I rarely do) we made Nagi’s most popular fish recipe. https://www.recipetineats.com/baked-fish-with-lemon-cream-sauce/. We added prawns to ours and if these two ingredients aren’t over cooked I can manage to eat them - I cooked the prawns and Chookie did the barramundi and we nailed it! Seafood for 2, sauce for 4 so leftovers will be handy to pour over something else.

Judy, the pureed french toast sounds interesting is the recipe on the forum.

No Margaret, it’s too simple. Just make your French toast as normal (we used 1 piece of raisin bread, 1 egg, 1/4 cup milk, dash of vanilla), soak for 10 mins, place in a non-stick pan, pour any of the remaining egg into the pan, cook until brown underneath and flip until brown. This gives it added flavour. Because it was a small amount to blitz we used the Ninja (you could use an immersion blender). Then you can add either 1/4 cup of milk or cream and blitz to desired texture. As it was my lunch and I have not been having anything for years I only ate 1/2 of it and had the other half the next day. It was very tasty and I’ll definitely be doing it regularly when back home. We’ve done the same with a toasted sourdough crumpet, smothered with butter, added half a banana, some honey and as much milk that was needed. Whilst I’m on a roll, for lunch today we used Chookie’s freshly made home made chicken stock (it was pure jelly in the fridge this morning as she reduced it a lot), brought that to the boil and cooked miniature dim sims in it. I only had 3, we blitzed them in the Ninja with a little of the hot stock then topped it up once in the bowl. Delicious and quick. I’m documenting the ideas Chookie comes up with and will send through more ideas via personal message at some stage. Before I arrived here I found a site with some ideas so I’ll send you the link to that one when I get home. I printed off some of their ideas but didn’t bring them with me as I knew Chookie would have her own ideas.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: mab19 on June 04, 2024, 08:24:59 am: Judy, thank you for the french toast it sounds nice and something I could maybe eat.

The men are having curried sausages with potato mash and vegetables. I will have my crab cakes again.

Post by: K Atie on June 04, 2024, 08:31:01 am: Chookie you are a star with ideas for Judy . Judy how exciting to try something new . I should have gone to the market in Melbourne to get some good bones for jelly stock . Oh well too flat out for that . Not sure what we are having for dinner ! Maybe DH mash potato ! I still feel nauseous and nothing sparks joy . Not even an egg seems ok .

Post by: judydawn on June 04, 2024, 12:24:16 pm: It is amazing what I’m eating whilst here K Atie, my family knew if anyone could help me it would be Chookie. Tonight she had a visitor so made a shepherds pie with the lamb she slow cooked yesterday, minced it in the TMX, mixed it with her delicious gravy and covered it with mashed potatoes. Veg - carrots, green beans and cauli covered in the leftover fish creamy garlic lemon sauce from Sunday’s lunch. I surprised myself by having a bit of everything and it was more than I usually eat. Dessert was a banana fritter, my girls couldn’t believe I ate that, neither could I but it was delicious.

Post by: K Atie on June 07, 2024, 01:09:01 pm: Judy it is good the TM6 . Don’t know how they could improve it , but the deal on at the moment is very good with extra bowl . Infact I was talking to Cookidoo THERMOMIX person on the phone about how to upgrade Cookidoo membership. Anyway , I asked the big Q regarding a new model . He said he been there 10 years and this year it was said that they wouldn’t be up grading it THIS YEAR , fist time they have said that he said , but he was 50/50 about it . I only mentioned it as they have had two deals this year for trade in of TM31 and TM5 - no trade in you keep it . That would not stop me from getting a TM6 now though as there is always talk regarding new models .
Oops for dinner we had chicken Kiev!

Your system has certainly taken a battering recently, Mab, so it's not surprising you are not very hungry at the moment. With luck it will come back soon and you can start settling down again into your normal routine - be sure you give yourself a couple of special treats, too.

I’ve nailed the Asian soup we had while away. DD thought it had Vegemite in it. I think she could taste the fish sauce ,as it was Asian. First thing I did after unpacking was made the soup for dinner. All made inTMX of course.
Base, light veggie soup, carrot, celery and garlic. Sauté in evoo. 2 1/2 cups water or chicken stock. I added 2 soup cubes. Cook and liquidise. Add tin of coconut milk and fish sauce. Add lemongrass paste or lemon zest. Reheat. Garnish with chives.

Post by: K Atie on September 18, 2024, 08:54:18 pm: Cookie the pie sounds delicious.
This week we have had some lovely fish and steak and salads. Also I got a beautiful bunch of thick first of the season asparagus, they were amazing crunchy moist .
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on September 18, 2024, 10:09:19 pm: Katie, I wait all year for the Asparagus season. I’ve experimented and now use a vegetable peeler and shave the snapped off ends and then slice diagonally.
I’ve grown a crunchy Chinese vegetable in my small garden. This added to Chicken stock makes a lovely soup. Also added sliced cooked chicken breast.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on September 20, 2024, 03:34:37 am: Judy, that is so good.
Soup and wholemeal bread. The soup base is home made bone broth with added roast pumpkin and cauliflower. Also odd bits of veggies.
For lunch I made a stir fry. I roasted2 chicken Marylands with sweet chilli sauce in AF. I used the thigh , sliced and added it at the end. Silverbeet, celery and wasabi leaves from garden.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: cookie1 on September 20, 2024, 12:55:30 pm: Are the wasabi leaves hot Chookie?

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: achookwoman on September 23, 2024, 10:10:28 pm: Cookie, the Wasabi leaves are similar to Watercress in heat. The stems are the same, but crunchy. They are currently a fad in Melbourne with Chefs who serve them pickled. The roots carry the most heat and this is what is used in genuine Wasabi paste. Most commercial paste is coloured Horseradish.
Last night I made Turkey meatballs.served with tomato sauce and pasta. Pancakes made with 1/2 whole meal flour. Better than expected.

Was this prepared in your new Motorhome?
Steak, cold slaw and bean salad. I’m changing over to glass containers . Getting rid of the plastic ones. The salads keep very well in the containers in the fridge. They have a button on the top that when pressed seals them.

Mashed root veggies with a poached egg on top here.

I often have this for dinner except my veggies have to be pureed and the egg mashed. It doesn't look very nice but tastes fine.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on October 17, 2024, 02:16:40 am: Taste and texture for us is the main thing Margaret. I haven’t been eating enough veg so this meal solves that problem when I have no idea what to have. Yes, sharing our meal ideas can be quite useful, I’ve often googled some of those you do MarinaI especially when cooking for DD. Try the egg,I think it really makes the meal.
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on October 17, 2024, 08:21:14 pm: Right, mashed root veges and poached eggs are on the menu for me this weekend.

I am glad some of my meals have caught your interest, Judy, I just made this warm lentil and sweet potato salad last weekend for the first time - it was quick, easy and tasty. https://www.thebuddhistchef.com/recipe/warm-lentil-and-sweet-potato-salad/?fbclid=IwAR3_J4MySJtPd1UWicbHjPkN15pD20CS1qEm-2_UQjo-96gq8zYFfU-y6Ys

Today I made the base for my Chicken and leek pie with filo topping https://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=6719.msg88829#msg88829 and will do the topping to take to a friend's place tomorrow. He cannot have spinach so I added a couple of individual packets of green ‘steam fresh’ veggies. For myself I kept back a small ramekin of the pie mixture, mixed it with a cup of Sustagen then heated it up. It was delicious, I must have more meals like this.

Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: Cuilidh on October 20, 2024, 08:31:08 pm: Gosh, I have picked up two new ideas on here in the last week - Judy's poached eggs on mashed root veges and now Chookie's microwaved corn - I think I heard somewhere that it is easier to remove the silks if the corn is cooked, is that right? I have always shucked the husk off and pulled the silk away before boiling them. A whole new method for me to try!
Title: Re: What's for Dinner Tonight?
Post by: judydawn on October 21, 2024, 12:15:24 am: It’s dead easy to throw them in the microwave Marina. I cut off the end before cooking (not the top) for easy removal of the corn at the end of cooking.

Post by: judydawn on January 19, 2025, 02:43:30 am: Last night we had prawn crepes (from my freezer) and I made this Garlic-Parmesan Roasted Cauli https://dishingouthealth.com/parmesan-roasted-cauliflower/. On our recent cruise my DF tried crumbed cauli at the buffet and he was blown away with the taste. I found this recipe and it hit the spot, better than the ship version he said. I par-steamed the small florets the night before for 6 minutes to give them a head start in the a/f, I always find raw cauli takes forever to bake and neither of us enjoy uncooked veggies. I only did 1/2 a small Cauli but used the full recipe for the coating and he has enough for another serve. I added the crushed garlic to the coating mixture, not when the Parmesan was added. I had a few small pieces and yes, it was very nice.

I've never made that recipe Cookie, I like that you don't let it rise first. I'll give that a try next time. DH like the recipe I used but DS thought it wasn't as good as my usual one. I couldn't eat it so I can't pass an opinion. :(

Tonight it is meatballs in a sauce with mustard pickles in it. Mashed potato & Broccoli, cauli, carrots. I'm not sure what I will have.

Baked Bramley apples and Portuguese Tarts. All will probably stay for dinner so I made Cream of celery soup, garlic bread and a fruit and cheese platter.

The family and friends at DD lunch, voted my Portuguese Tarts my best recipe. I disagreed and said the Hot X Buns. But, they said, we only get them at Easter.
Soup tonight.
