Christmas Tree 4501 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Mines better (blown away is a bit ott of a superlative for bolognese sauce though) Cook off, cook off, cook off! I'll make yours, you make mine, see who wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) tonights attempt at my ne carbs bit chicken fajitas without the wrap (lettuce and spinach instead) I thought Tortillas were low in carbs? Or low carb Tortilla was easy to find. We vary our diet quite a bit so when we are off potato/rice/pasta/carbs we use Quinoa. Its a nice way of bulking a salad too to go with Chicken etc. Chop up a few tomatoes, cucumber, mild green chillis, pepper, spring onion, mix with cooled down quinoa, 2 spoons oil, one balsamic, salt and pepper. Great in the summer when all the salad in the shops is fresh and local (or from the market). Edited August 13, 2012 by ChezGiven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the Basque country at the minute, fruit and veg down here is very good but have to say things like strawberries can be better in England. Been eating loads of lamb and beef, done on La Plancha which is a sort of Basque barbecue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Im drooling here! Sounds lush man! You put all your veg on it too as its a flat plate, great for onions, peppers, mushrooms etc but i throw on par-boiled green beans with shallots, diced carrots all sorts. You just scrape it all onto a big plate when its done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 43056 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) For Meenzer: 6 tablespoons olive oil (per the recipe, but I reckon you could use half of this. Seemed a LOT) 2 large courgettes, cut into cubes 350g penne 250g salami Milano, cut into thin strips 3 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley 100g grated Parmesan 50g salted butter 50g plain flour 50g full fat milk 1/2 teaspoon paprika Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg 1. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the courgettes for 5 minutes. Season and set aside 2. This is to do the bechamel: melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, lower the heat and cook for 10 minutes, whisking constantly. When it gets thick, stir in the paprika and nutmeg and season. 3. As you start the above, put your pasta on to cook. Once it's done, drain and put it in a large bowl along with the courgettes, salami, parsley, half of the bechamel and half of the Parmesan. Mix it all together. 4. Put the grill on medium-high. Butter a big, high sided oven proof dish (it says 22cm round dish in the book). Pour the pasta mix in, then cover with the remaining bechamel and sprinkle over the rest of the Parmesan. 5. Stick it under the grill for 15 minutes or so. And that's it done.

Brock Manson 0 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 You can lower the calories of that bechemel by using semi-skimmed without much difference to the taste. Doesn't make much difference if you hoy in a load of parmesan later on mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15190 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Lush. Sounds spot on, we've got friends coming over for crap DVDs and wine on Saturday night so I might well give it a go then. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was gonna be much worse, and it tastes like it should be. Oh yeah, I should point out that it's meant to serve 6, but could easily just serve 4 if you're starving.

Lake Bells tits 1 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Any ideas as to what you serve on a first date? Thinking of inviting a lass over, incidentally in J69`s line of work. Think balcony, Amarone red wine and something to get the blood flowing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15190 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Cheese in mash??? i never understood people doing that, like cheesy mash on cottage pie and the like too Sacrilege! Some mature cheddar should always be sprinkled atop a cottage/shepherd's pie before it goes in the oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lake Bells tits 1 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Shell out for a good, good steak. (Assuming she does red meat, but I doubt you'd do her if she didn't. ) She can eat dogs droppings for all I care ( just not before she comes over), as long as she eats my sausage she can stuff her facehole with anything she likes! A good good steak is a canny shout Meenzer, perhaps with some gratinated potatoes, green crisp beans, bernaise sauce and perhaps a chocolate fondant with raspberries and a scope of vanilla ice cream for desert? If she isnt moist as a bucket full of jelly by the end of that meal, then fuck me. Slippery as an ice cube off the kitchen bench Edited August 28, 2012 by Lake Bells tits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
