HexMachina Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Saturday our flat made a christmas lunch (its early i know, but one of them went away yesterday). Didnt buy turkey as there was only thr three of us, but we did cook a chicken (wrapped in smoked streaky bacon of course). Accompanied by steamed carrots, peas, honey roasted parsnips, sweet potato mash, sage and onion stuffing,pigs in blankets and yorkshire puddings (made by yours truly). All turned out well, except the gravy, which we tried to make from scratch and spoiled. So we relied on good old gravy granules instead...Desert was homemade profiteroles with dark chocolate sauce.Sunday each of us had a variety of dishes made from the leftovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 We did the same, apart from a few different vegetables and wrapping the chicken in bacon*. We made gravy from granules too, turns out adding copious amounts of wine vastly improves it! xDHoney roasted parsnips are the best part of Christmas.*Which I will now definitely be doing at some pointIncorrect. That honour goes to pigs in blankets. And leftover sandwiches... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HexMachina Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Yesterday was leftovers, so I had cold turkey, pickles and salad. Not very exciting, but nice to have after indulging.Today we had paprika chicken, which is chicken, onions, mushroom and peppers fried then cooked a sauce made from stock, chopped tomatoes, cornflour (mixed into a liquid to thicken), smoked paprika, herbs, salt and pepper, then soured cream stirred through before serving. Had that with rice, very tasty. Tomorrow we need to have something with seafood as it needs using. We have cod and prawns, so I will have a look this evening for some nice recipes.

When we make paprika chicken, the only change I make to your recipe is that we generally serve it with wide noodles. We had osso bucco on Christmas Day (the only time I'll serve my husband veal, due to... you know.) Alongside it was risotto. He devoured it so I guess it turned out well. (I'm off food.) Then two days later we had prime rib with horseradish sauce and twice-baked potatoes and Caesar salad. I'm craving seafood now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry of the Lawn Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Tonight we're doing duck confit. Salad with oranges, red cabbage, pepitas and pommegranate. Probably some potato dish too. Here's our dinner from Christmas, roast leg of lamb, with greenbeans, a gratin of potatos, sweet potatoes, celeriac, and fennel, and some pickled brussel sprouts with beets. I kind of screwed up the gravy. I had some rosemary leftover that threw in fresh while reducing the gravy, which left it kind of bitter. The rosemary seemed like a good idea but I was kind of drunk. Also added a small bit of flour to thicken it, but I think that was unnecessary. So I won't do that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HexMachina Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 fried cod and fiery cajun prawns...served with linguini noodlesfry cod in corn meal or flour as you like....saute prawns with a mix of old bay seasoning, crushed red peppers and sriracha and i throw in fire roasted tomatoes with juice serve noodles with prawns and sauce with a piece of fried cod on top...good with salad, garlic bread and dry white wine...a cajun delight That sounds really good. I'll make a note of that and try it sometime. As it happens we made home-made fish cakes which turned out alright, but I think possibly we used too much potato as they were very stodgy. ToL, paprika chicken is my go to dish if I'm stuck for something to make. And the beauty is it serves well with pretty much anything you want too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolverine Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Steak and lamb chops on the grill. My wife is a still a little sheepish about eating lamb, other than ground lamb (pun intended). Sad thing was our two year old ate half her steak and a couple chops! He must really think he's a carnivore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
