Two Bean Chilli | Dinner Diary

http://dinnerdiary.org/2009/06/11/two-bean-chilli

Laquo; Summer Lentil Ragu. Yes, three or even four bean chilli would have sounded better but I forgot that we had other beans hidden away when it came to soaking time last night. We ended up with black beans and haricot beans which worked well anyway. The basic recipe is based on our recently tweaked chilli con carne. 4 tbsp olive oil. 2 red chillies, roasted, deseeded and pulped. 4 garlic cloves, roasted and then pulped. 15 tsp ground cumin. 3/4 tsp ground coriander. 3/4 tsp chipotle chilli powder.

Tea and Cake | Dinner Diary

http://dinnerdiary.org/2011/03/20/tea-and-cake

Having talked earlier about how we rarely accept items to sample, I’m going to talk about another item I happily said yes to now. This time it was tea and the new range from PG Tips. Since we have so much of it and since I didn’t like it as much as the other two, I decided to use The Delicate One in a cake. This recipe. Mar 20th, 2011. 3 Comments to 'Tea and Cake'.

Mar 14th, 2011. Mexican Style Whole Chicken. We had some friends over for dinner on Saturday night and, after exploring pretty much every cuisine we could think of, we settled on Mexican food. The reason it took us so long to decide is that we wanted to cook Maddhur Jaffrey’s chicken. We also decided to try our luck with a pork fillet which didn’t work so well. Pork shoulder would be very good though due to all that extra fat. And guacamole completed the meal. Mar 13th, 2011. Brown the chicken all over.

Laquo; Spaghetti alla Vodka (with bacon). Purple Sprouting Brocolli Pizza. As it turned out, we had a busy Saturday too so we made the dough. In advance and left it to rise while we finished off the last of the day’s chores (not that much of a chore actually, since we spent the afternoon at Vagabond. A local wine shop that has a tasting fridge). Mar 19th, 2011. 3 Comments to 'Purple Sprouting Brocolli Pizza'. Subscribe to comments with. To 'Purple Sprouting Brocolli Pizza'.

Chicken Tagine | Dinner Diary

http://dinnerdiary.org/2010/11/07/chicken-tagine-4

Laquo; Venison Sausages. Lamb Chops and Garlicky Greens. I played around with this recipe a little, using both fresh fennel and fennel seed to produce a deeper flavour that developed both in the mouth as we ate and continued overnight so that the follow day’s lunch was even better. I also marinated the chicken for a few hours which I didn’t last time. 2 tsps cumin seeds. 2 tsps coriander seeds. 1/2 tsp fennel seeds. 1 chicken, jointed. 2 large onions, roughly chopped. 4 cloves garlic, sliced. Bring to th...

Spiced Salmon | Dinner Diary

Laquo; Leftover Morrocan Roast Chicken. Salmon, cooked quickly with cumin, chilli, coriander and lemon (much like this recipe. Actually) and served with roasted cauliflower. The cauliflower just wouldn’t cook though, we ate it anyway but it was far too crunchy. Mar 22nd, 2011. One Comment to 'Spiced Salmon'. Subscribe to comments with. June 11th, 2011 at 6:18 pm.

Laquo; Mexican Breakfast. Purple Sprouting Brocolli Pizza. Spaghetti alla Vodka (with bacon). Never let it be said that I don’t have my priorities in order. Of course, now I not only have to work out what we’re going to eat next week but I also have to work out how to incorporate those 40 rashers of bacon before they expire.
