Katy Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 DH is grilling burgers for supper, with cheese, buns, lettuce & tomatoes. and I’ll make corn on the cob and roasted sweet potatoes as sides. I’ll have a giant salad, maybe with a handful of canned 3 bean salad on top because I’m craving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Tonight we are having a South-African casserole called bobotie (pronounced ba-boo-tea). Its made with curried ground/minced beef. The recipe calls for chutney and we use a local brand called Mrs, Balls which I see is available on Amazon, but I think any fruit chutney will work. Ingredients 500g lean minced (ground) beef 2 onions, finely chopped 1 large clove garlic, crushed 1 carrot, grated 30ml (2T) oil 2 slices bread 250ml (1cup) milk 2 eggs 15ml (1T) mild curry powder 5ml (1t) turmeric 5ml (1t) ground cinnamon 2,5ml (1/2t) ground coriander 10ml (2t) salt 2,5ml (1/2t) pepper 30ml (2T) wine or vinegar or lemon juice 125ml (1/2c) seedless raisins 45ml (3T) chutney Method Preheat oven to 180oC Heat oil and butter in large pan and fry onions, garlic and carrot. Set aside. Brown the mince and break up with a fork. Soak bread in milk. Add all dry ingredients and the onions, garlic and carrots and mix well. Squeeze milk from the bread, mash and add to the mixture. Mix in chutney Add 125ml (1/2c) of the milk and reserve the rest. Add 1 egg and mix well. Spoon the mixture into a greased oven dish and spread the mixture. Mix the remaining egg and milk and pour over the mixture. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the egg and milk mixture on top is firm. Serve with rice 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisdomandtreasures Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 We usually just do oatmeal (with peanut butter, raisins, and a little maple syrup) and apples for breakfast, or granola (oats, flax seed, chia seed, chopped almonds, coconut flakes, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon) with milk and bananas. Minimalist Baker's chocolate chia pudding is also good but a bit pricey (well, to be eaten as the main part of the meal instead of a topping.. for 8 people including a teen boy, anyway) so it's kept to an occasional treat. For lunch today, we had some fresh homemade bread with cream cheese, avocado, cucumber, and tomato with "Everything But the Bagel" seasoning. Tonight for dinner we're having vegan sloppy joes (using kidney beans) with baked sweet potato fries (I season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and smoked paprika). For dessert, "nice cream" made with bananas and frozen cherries. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spy Car Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I made stuffed (red) bell peppers for dinner. I mixed up my typical approach and used freshly cooked (from dried) small fava beans in place of lentils or meat. Instead of doing rice of cauliflower ice, I did a combination of both. I had some yummy Afghani basmati rice leftover, that I'd pan-roasted with butter prior to cooking and cooked with dried cranberries and prices. To that I added more herbs, spices, garlic, and the remnants of a well-seasoned yogurt marinade that I used for grilling chicken earlier in the week (that was not "used"). I like making "stuffed" dishes. They make for nice leftovers and meals for my wife to take to work. Bill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 This afternoon we found a treasure trove of oyster mushrooms on a dead poplar tree in our yard, hooray! So I switched my plan from broccoli and pork stir fry to foraged mushroom gravy over rice, yum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
