     OP - July 12, 2009, 10:48 AM
    Lot of talk about food lately, so might be worth having a thread exclusively devoted to this very important topic for suggestions, ideas & recipes. 

    Todays Menu chez Islame's
    Lunch - cheese & onion toasties - onions sliced and boiled in water, with mature cheese and white bread toasted in a Breville
    Tea - Sea bass, anchovy butter & chickpeas (chickpeas cooked with sauteed onions, garlic & chilli)

    What I made last night (some type of chicken and veg soup) -


    Chicken covered in garlic, fried in a sauce pan with some oil. In a seperate pan fry some onions, add some chopped tomatoes and salt. Then add the veg and leave for a few minutes. Then add the cooked chicken and some mixed herbs and pepper.

    And there you have it, soup a la Marina!

    I am staying in a hilton in trinidad. Cooking or worrying about food is a bit beneath me at the moment.

    I have stopped eating.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I remain.

    I was thinking about opening a similar thread since I love eating and cooking good food. It would be nice to attach photographs of foods eaten, too  Afro. One of my favourite food blogs is: www.thefoodpornographer.com  dance

    We got up pretty late today so brunch was:

    filter coffee, green tea
    instant chinese noodles (on the hob, with extra spice and fresh veg)- for me
    egg and bacon butty with a generious lashing of tomato ketchup- for him

    Dinner will be grilled peppered mackral with boiled baby pearl potatoes and salad.

    No solid recipe mate

    I usually just shallow fry some cut up chicken breast in a pan (either 1 or 2 depending on how many mouths or how large the chicken is) and then after the chicken has been fried I add a diced onion, some peppers (optional), a tomato (optional) or carrots (optional). I then add herbs and spices. Herbs and spices can be basil, salt, pepper, paprika or mixed spice.

    After that I add a tin of tomatoes (preferably chopped but plum works) ,if you add plum tomatos mash them up good and hard. Then either add some tomato puree if you have some to hand or add some gravy granules until the foods thickened. Leave it to simmer for about half an hour and go play cards or wash corrie or whatever people do in the evenings (I usually smoke in the garden but thats just me). Stir it every 10 minutes and in the last 5 minutes let it reach boiling point again if it's still too runny.

    Serve with mash potato, bread,rice, naan, paratha, pitta bread, french bread, whatever the hell you fancy.

    That is all.

    Last night's dinner:

    Oven-baked tuna risotto

    425 can of tuna in springwater, drained
    2 tablespoons of olive oil
    10g of butter
    3 and a half cups of chicken stock
    1 medium brown onion - finely sliced
    1 clove of garlic crushed
    2 cherry tomatoes, quartered
    1 cup of frozen peas
    2 tablespoons of lemon juice
    2 and a half cups of arborio rice

    1. Melt butter in a deep saucepan with the olive oil (meanwhile preheat oven to 160 degrees on a fan forced oven)
    2. Boil chicken stock in another saucepan.
    3. Add sliced onion and crushed garlic to melted butter, and fry until onion soft.
    4. When onion softens, add arborio rice and stir thoroughly until onion is mixed into the rice. Then add chicken stock and stir.
    5. Put the risotto mixture into a 10 cup shallow oven dish and bake covered with foil for 15 mins. Half way through, make sure you stir the mixture.
    6. After 15 mins, take the cover off and bake uncovered for 20 mins.
    7. After that, add the frozen peas to the mixture and stir. Then add the quartered tomatoes on the top and bake for another 15 mins.
    8. When you take it out of the oven, top with the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

    Top with some cheese if you prefer.

    I thought I'd fail miserably but it actually came out alright! Nice and easy.

    Roast lamb and veg tonight.  dance

    Breakfast was bacon, with scrambled eggs that were done with fresh chives and Greek basil from my garden, followed by toasted fruit loaf with raspberry jam and honey. Yes, on the same slice. Jam and honey mixed together rocks. Don't need butter. Afro

    Oh and coffee before, during and after breakfast, of course. I don't function without coffee.

    Didn't do lunch today.

    Good to see the thread well stocked and maintained

    Now to add my planned dinner for tonight (might post pictures later if I dont scoff it down straight away):

    Homemade chicken popcorn (like KFC) with Potatoes Au Gratin (baked potato and onion in a cheese casserole) and corn on a cob.

    I didn't know this thread existed. I treated the "now that we can eat non-halal food" thread as the general food thread.

    As promised, the au gratin looks a bit odd cause its mixed but it was truly great, especially if you like cheese and potatoes (which I do!) very good comfort food!!

    Good recipe, I tried to make them 1 inch size so they are between crispy and soft.

    Anyway, true it is that photos of natural beauty are stunning, but inside the human mind things happen to magnify the feeling of wonder and amazement, and a painting (or yet, a talented painting) helps portray that human wonderment.

    Thats my impression anyway. Its a nice painting by any account.

    I know what you are saying, but I still feel it is a travesty to choose an unnatural painting to demonstrate how beautiful nature is.

    Its almost like it was not capable of doing a good enough job without man-made intervention & interpretation - the exact opposite of how it was titled.
