I'm making this for tea tonight.

 

 

500g dried spaghetti

1 x 225g jar of tuna in oil

2 cloves of garlic

1 tbsp capers, drained

1 x 30g tin of anchovy fillets in oil

1–2 fresh red chillies

Small bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley

8 jarred black olives, stoned

Ground cinnamon

1 x 700g jar of passata or 2 x 400g tins of chopped tomatoes

1 lemon

 

 

Pictures always help.

 

Halfway through a plate of this. Absolutely quality. Will definitely be getting made again.

As for tonight, chicken and roasted butternut squash couscous is on the agenda. Not tried it before and I'm dicking with the recipe, so I'll not put it on here until/unless I know it's turned out edible. :lol:

 

The recipe got it all wrong in terms of how long to soak the couscous, how best to toast the pumpkin seeds etc. My dicking was, as always, exemplary. I will report back after the next attempt.

Tescos do a small Mediterranean loaf which I love, I am going to find a recipe for that type of bread.

 

Get a bread machine. Just stuck stuff in and go to work. Ready when you get back or start it before you go to bed and so on...

 

You want little bits of dried toms in the med loaf....But not loads.

Don't they go off canny quick tho?

 

I suppose it wouldnt last as long as an ordinary bread but the one I buy from Tescos is small and doesnt last long in our house :rolleyes::(

Mind supermarket bread must have preservatives included, so I suppose any home-made bread would have to be eaten pretty quickly.

I love that brown bread with seeds in it, its facking ace

 

I love any seeded bread, favourite is granary. Trouble is my family prefer white so I end up having to buy too much.

 

 

I have to have white in the mornings, nothing too complex.

I've got a bread machine, the loaves are a bit weird I think, there's always a big hole in one end (where the kneader is) and the machine is bloody noisy. Amazing for having bread ready when you wake up but results from the oven are far better.

 

last night's effort;

Bread is massively fattening like. If you make your own you will feel under pressure to eat a loaf a day or let it go to waste. I only have bread at the weekends.

That's my thinking as well. I don't want to be eating a loaf of bread every couple of days. I have two slices a day with my poached eggs in the morning.
