OK, What's For Lunch or Tea Today?

Cheers, mate. Look forward to seeing your ribs! Reckon they'll come great in the Foodi:)

Oh yes...

Marco.

Steak looked nice Marco.

I had this yesterday.

Fish fillets in a sun-dried tomato sauce done in foil in oven and some veg.

To start:

King prawns, chargrilled on the BBQ, served with a Thai dipping sauce, dressed greens and fresh lime:

Followed by 28-day aged sirloin steak with a rich red wine reduction, served with baby rosemary roast potatoes, oven-roasted cauliflower coated in wholegrain mustard, braised fennel with fresh dill, and assorted greens. Notably purple-sprouting broccoli from our own garden [yay!]:

Gorgeous - just gorgeous! I'm salivating already.

Cheers, guys. It certainly slipped down nicely :)

The sauce is super-tasty and compliments a nice steak perfectly.

It's an old recipe of my mum's (from the 70s - Robert Carrier, I think, remember him?) and consists of a glass of full-bodied red wine (alcohol burned off and reduced right down), capers, tomato puree, fresh garlic, fresh shopped rosemary, thyme and parsley, a dollop of Dijon mustard, and lastly a knob of butter, to add a nice gloss to the finished sauce...

Yumz!:cool:

Granty, that fish looked quite tasty. Was it a ready meal or something you concocted yourself?

birds eye frozen fillets in a sauce.. take quite a while ..about 50 mins in oven but were quite good. more cooking tho than i like.

Ah I see... Look quite fresh:)

Too much cooking though, in terms of what? You bung it in the oven, stick some choons on, and come back 50 mins later - job's a good 'un:cool:

aye, but a lot of lekky for 2 smallish fillets. their other range is 4 and half mins in a steam bag lol. and imo better too. just as fresh too. fast frozen is sometimes fresher than fish from the mongers..:eek:
eating a lot of fish, although its a pie tonight with chips...or thats current plan

Yeah, I see where you're coming from, mate. I have no experience of that kind of stuff as we never buy it. I know what you mean about some frozen foods though, in terms of freshness - the good stuff can be pretty good:)

You're eating a lot of chips, though... Have you given up on potatoes, say new ones boiled or mash? Nice for a wee change, no?
