Your favourite meal - give me ideas
 

This might sounds weird, but I am kinda getting a bit bored with food.

I am on ok cook and really enjoy cooking etc, but I am really getting fed up of the same sort of meals.

So what is your favourite meal?
Hopefully this will give me inspiration to conjure up something interesting :)

Apart from Roast (esp duck), I love:

salmon fettucine
salmon lattice bake with a broccoli sauce (a really good cheat one, if you use 'instant pastry') - can use any fish for it, but salmon best for me
chicken lasagne - with extra mushrooms

Just 3 ideas, will add more later Lily

Walkers Thai chilli chrisps and a bottle of red wine

ta, can you add more ideas without so much fish.... :D

:lol:

Chips

Seriously, if you haven't already got it, get hold of a copy of Jamie Oliver's Happy Days book as it has some of the best recipes in it. Even though it's mostly traditional food (his toad in the hole with red onion and balsamic vinegar is superb) it's a really handy one to own....

Mushrooms fried in garlic sauce with sauted onions to start.

Fillet on Aberdeen Angus beef very rare with cream and green peppercorn and brandy sauce and swiss rosti potatoes for main,

For dessert - nothin cos I'm full with all the preceding!

If you wanna know how to cook the above, just ask!

Ok, my favourite is something I knock up with some prawns but you could add scallops and squid.

In fact I pretty much just make this up depending on how I feel so I'll just sort of give you some ingredients.

Prawns ( or squid .. whatever, I've done it with fish too)
Some stir fry vege's - not too many, keep it simple
Rice or noodles, whatever floats your boat
chilli - lots of it
garlic
ginger
coriander (put some in while you're stir frying but save some to mix through when you've finished/garnish)
a bit of ground black pepper
Fish sauce
Oyster sauce
a bit of Soy sauce
finish it off with a bit of lime juice, but only add after cooking - the lime juice will start cooking your prawns/seafood before it hits the wok and it could be tough

I'ts a thai style stir fry basically, but lots of really nice flavours that combine well.

yeti

i do something similar to that anyway.

Tony - sounds great if i could replace the prawns etc with chicken... mmm

Yeti! - when can I move in????:cool:

Lily sorry about the seafood, its just that AK doesnt like it, so I suppose it makes it more yummy for me, as I only get to cook fish when he is out/away! :(

Take it you'd rather prefer something that runs, rather than swims?:lol:
