Mushroom bake. Too many mushrooms in the fridge so I looked up this dish in a cookbook. Uses onion, smoked bacon, mushrooms and sour cream with a breadcrumb and cheese grilled topping. Stuffed olives and parsley garnish. Really very nice. :)

Sainsbury's have these on promotion again. Don't buy they're rubbish. I'm going to chuck the remainder as they're absolutely disgusting. This company should be prosecuted for contributing to food waste.

Very little boys ;)

I made a batch of chilli yesterday using chocolate nibs (very chocolatey), Carolina Reaper powder and a whole Chocolate Scorpion (not at all chocolatey).

First taste at lunch today. I think my face fell off :shocked:

I don't usually use sauces for curry (prefer Patak's pastes) but can recommend the Lidl curry sauces if you haven't tried them. They're all very good and can easily by 'enhanced' with a little extra spicing if so desired. On balance I reckon the pastes, if used properly, give a superior result to any sauce.

I usually make the whole thing from scratch but happened to have a couple of these jars that had been on promotion at £1 a pop. That and the ~500g of cooked chicken thighs for £1.33 made four portions.

Yes if you have the spices to hand that's the way to tailor it to suit your own tastebuds perfectly.

Doesn't it just give the lie to all the nonsense we hear trotted out about how expensive it is to eat well? Last week I made a huge curry using 2kg of frozen chicken breast and other ingredients which cost just over £10. It provided us with about 8 main meals in the end at a cost of about £1.25 each. So much cheaper and healthier than take away. :)
