...that was what I'd planned to cook tonight, but today we went to a late Eid party at the Ramsgate Tandoori - and then went and had a glass of wine in the sunshine - and then realised that we had a lot of last night's quorn korma left...so we had that, and the leftover rice that we were too stuffed to eat...
Nevertheless, I did commit to doing a recipe a day, and I realise I haven't put down several recipes for things I have cooked, such as peperonata, and meatballs.
Peperonata
Slice two large onions and soften in a couple of spoons of olive oil; then slice 3 or 4 red/yellow peppers (you can use green if you like them) and several cloves of garlic. Put in the pan with the onion and add a sprinkle of salt to help soften the peppers faster. Put a lid over the vegs and cook down a little until they are getting soft. Add a tin of tomatoes, chopped, and cook gently for 40 mins or so, checking it hasn't stuck. If liked add some basil or parsley or freshly ground pepper - or all of these. Eat hot or cold, very good with lamb, meatballs, chicken especially. Or as a starter, or whatever...
What I ate
A very nice scrap of chicken curry, veg curry, rice, potato ball, a samosa, and a spoon of vermicelli pudding and some gulab jamun. For supper, the quorn curry, leftover rice and half a Sainsbury's garlic and herb nan, which wasn't too bad, but not to be compared with the nan yesterday. Feel quite full. The quorn curry was really good and the quorn keeps its shape despite re-heating - I somehow expect it to dissolve.
