Well, it was really crunchy and tasty. It's in my culinary repertoire now.
October 3, 20196 yr We cook this very simple but delicious mixture. It's at any ratio you like but I say in thirds of volume. Tin of chopped tomatoes. Grated strong cheddar or you're favourite one. Diced onion. Just simmer away until the onions are to your liking, crunchy or gone soft. You can cook some onions before and add to mixture. It only takes a few minutes to melt the cheese and heat the toms. Dip a crusty loaf in it and enjoy.

October 22, 20196 yr Your omelette looks yummy Weegie! I haven't had Stornoway black pudding, but my imagination tells me it would be pretty good. I get carried away loading mine up with stuff too Phil. Edited October 22, 20196 yr by Joe7

I did have an omelette, comprising of: The contents of a fresh carton of Chinese stir fry veg from Aldi. There was all sorts of stuff in that. Some pre - grated broccoli also from Aldi. It's really small pieces, each about the size of a grain of rice. Onions. Tomatoes. Chicken. Oh, and five eggs. It was so big, I couldn't flip it properly so it was a bit mushed up, but delicious. I told you I put a lot of stuff in them!
October 27, 20196 yr See what I do boosh, with omelettes, I just finish off under the grill! No need to flip! And then if all goes well it just slides off the frying pan Edited October 27, 20196 yr by WeegieWoman
October 29, 20196 yr Chicken an mushroom gnocchi....just made my gnocchi...have the sauce cooking then boil up the gnocchi and bobs ya uncle... Sprinkled with Parmesan, fresh basil & cracked black pepper. Edited October 29, 20196 yr by notsmokinjo
October 29, 20196 yr This page is making me hungry. Jo, that looks so fabulous and maybe simple enough for an amateur? I would love to know your sauce recipe. Also, do you make your own gnocchi? Just curious because it looks so good, but I won't pretend there's a chance that's happening here.
October 29, 20196 yr That meal does look good Jo. I wouldn't have known what I was looking at except that my wife made a chicken gnocchi soup last week. It was a first for me so she had to explain what I was eating. It tasted so good that looking at your picture above brought back all those flavors to me.
October 29, 20196 yr Sauce Recipe (sorta...I just chuck everything together so measurements are not accurate): Skinless chicken thighs (or breasts...i just think the thighs have more flavour) cut into chunks (about 1kg makes enough 3 large serves and 2 left over meals to freeze for Ron) 500g sliced mushrooms 1 onion, chopped (or 2 tablespoons onion powder cos forgot to buy onions) 2-3 cloves of crushed garlic (or 3 teaspoons from the jar). 2 teaspoons chicken stock powder 1-2 tablespoons Italian mixed herbs (oregano, basil, marjoram ..not sure what else is in there) 6 short cut bacon rashers cut into pieces (Aussie bacon is like Canadian bacon..sorta...defo not like American bacon....I only added bacon because the kid thinks if there is no bacon she can't eat it) 2 tablespoons plain flour (all purpose flour) 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese Water So in a deep frypan or wok... Clarify onion Cook off garlic Render bacon Add herbs and chicken Once outside of chicken is cooked, add mushies and stock powder then cover with water (about 3 cups) Simmer until chicken cooked through and liquid reduced about 1/2. Strain off AND KEEP liquid and put solids aside. Put liquid back in pan, add flour and whisk to thicken sauce. If too thick, you can add milk or water or white wine whisking to the viscosity you want. If ya using spinach add it hear...I add a box of the frozen stuff. Cook ya pasta or gnocchi (yes I make my own..have a few recipies I use , but sometimes I buy it too but only the one from the fridge section not the long life one off the shelf, cos it's yuck). Mix pasta with chicken an mushy mix...stir through liquid sauce...serve with fresh parmesan, cracked black pepper. I like to sprinkle on some fresh basil and nutmeg and my housemate adds chili flakes. It's pretty basic so good for a work night. Freezes well. Edited October 29, 20196 yr by notsmokinjo
October 30, 20196 yr Thank you so much, Jo! I'll definitely give it a go when I recover from the last three days of eating crispy baked chicken thighs (the easiest possible recipe where the "crispy" comes from paprika mixed with other spices) and am ready to face a chicken again. I'll post a picture if I'm even mildly successful.
