Leftovers

Leftover ox cheek with baked potato

Leftover chicken broth with green beans, peas and wild rice

Nigella's chicken with orzo

The flavour was good but the veg undercooked. Cut veg smaller or cook it in the pressure cooker.

Teriyaki salmon with soba noodles and pak choi

Red notebook

Braised ox cheeks with colcannon mash

First outing for the pressure cooker - the meat was very tender but I wasn't too keen on the texture, a bit fatty for me. Would try again with brasing steak instead.

Recipe:

650g ox cheek/braising steak

250ml Theakston's Old Peculiar

500ml beef stock

one bay leaf

leeks/onions (leeks fell apaprt a bit, sliced onions would be better)

carrots

1 tbsp cranberry sauce/redcurrant jelly

1/2 tbsp cider vinegar

Cooked on high pressure for an hour.

Nandos

Went to Nando's after seeing The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Chicken wrap with sweet potato mash
Half a chicken with peri-peri fries and corn on the cob.

Mirin-poached beef with rice and Japanese spinach salad

Delicious!

Smoked haddock and corn chowder

Fortunately this tasted much better than it looked!

Sweet potato, spinach and lentil dahl

Lovely, satisfying, comforting but healthy.

Paprika chicken with beans and kale

Slightly bland, could do with more seasoning next time or possibly add some chorizo.
