I've not been cooking so much of late but this week I've really got back into the swing of things and have had a lovely time cooking up all manner of different dishes, albeit a bit meat centric.
Tonight I am finishing off our carnivorous phase with Chinese crispy duck pancakes with spring onions, cucumber and hoisin.
I have been inspired by a friend to make spanakopita tomorrow which I'll knock up a Greek salad to go with it.
Sunday is anyone's guess!
What is on your menu this weekend, hopefully at least one of you will give me some inspiration for Sunday :-)
No idea, one mater under the weather and one sister who doesn't know whether she's leaving for la Belle France, day by day therefore, tonight a chicken and mushroom risotto.....garnished with a little chopped coriander and pecorino.
I'm at a wedding tomorrow - the bride is both a Vegan and a bit of a foodie, so I'm expecting some interesting food.
For Sunday I have a rolled shoulder of lamb in the fridge - at the moment it's a toss up between
1. Doing it whole in a big pot covered with very aromatic stock using assorted herbs/spices/mustards and a good slug of balsamic vinegar - served with its own stock reduced into gravy and baked tatties and cauli cheese.
2. Chopping it into biggish lumps and doing a slow cooked lamb korma - serve with peshwari naan and nutty brown rice.
Right now I'm starving and may have some buttered pikelets and jam.
I will report back Eccles - I believe it's being catered by friends/relatives as finding a venue that completely understood the concept of vegan was apparently next to impossible in small town Britain - I'm really looking forward to it (and the wedding too, of course
