Last night I added cooked green beans to the cauliflower & cheese sauce from Tuesday. Topped it with sliced cooked baby potatoes, baked for a bit then sprinkled with some grated mozzarella. It was lovely but now have leftovers of my leftovers! I'll have the rest for lunch.

That looks lovely LTC . Would’ve tempted to have garlic bread alongside for double the carbs !!

Re: What's everyone cooking this week? 2
Some great sounding food on here.
This week we've had Hairy Bikers Hungarian beef goulash with dumplings. Leftovers went with jacket potatoes, sour cream and chives.
Lunches have been pished fish smoked salmon (flavoured with beetroot, aquavit, star anise and juniper) with jacket potatoes, sour cream, chives and rocket. Also some tuna melt cheesy bagels with rocket.
Last night we had Nigel Slaters slow cooked pork rib ragu with tagliatelle and a lot of parmesan.
Tonight we're having some lamb merguez sausages. I'm going to make a warm salad of roasted sweet potatoes, watercress, toasted pumpkin seeds and feta. With either a pomegranate dressing or a tzatziki style yoghurt dip. I don't really know to be honest... I'll decide when we start to cook. There are olives and kikos to start.

Last night we had 'Cheats Biryani' from Grace Regan's Spicebox book. It was delicious and the smell of it cooking was lovely. Have a head of Radicchio to use tonight, so have spent time this afternoon caramelising a couple of onions for a sweet element and will add the radicchio and some cheese later and have it with pasta.

I'd never heard of kikos - looks like they're some sort of snacky corn nuts?
LTC, yum!!!

Re: What's everyone cooking this week? 2
Last night I made a very simple gratin for one (husband was out) which was, for some reason, really very delicious. It could have been good ingredients. It could have just been that I was very hungry.
Le Touquet potatoes, Isigny crème fraîche, beurre de baratte, Maille honey Dijon, smoked garlic (granules) and extra mature cheddar. I just melted the cheddar so it was more potatoey fondu (raclette?), perhaps, than gratin.
I just got a copy of the new Ottolenghi Test Kitchen book Shelf Love. It looks promising.
A flick through and Chaat masala chickpea and polenta fries (already published in the Guardian) were calling out to me, but lots other things too.

Oh some lovely sounding meals being cooked.
I was given some beetroot so got pickling this afternoon.
Pork ribs, baked spud, mushrooms and corn cobette for dinner.

For Amy - re Campfire Stew. Loved it - really hit the spot - thanks a million for introducing us to it.
An observation. It suited me to employ the Slow Cooker method. I assumed my 3.5ltr would be the right size - but not big enough by quite a bit. Fortunately, I also have a 6ltr, so all was well.
Thanks again, Amy - definitely a do againer.

They are roasted corn kernels, totally addictive! M&S sell giant versions, either plain or jalapeño flavoured. I have been know to hide in the pantry to eat a couple…if my girls hear the ‘crunch’ they come running like a pack of wolves

Re: What's everyone cooking this week? 2
I didn’t know the name Kikos, but when I looked them up I realised I knew the snack, there seems to be versions from a lot of maize growing countries, I do like them, but every so often I hit a variety that are is rock hard!
Was tired last night and just retrieved a nome made fish pie from the freezer and had it with broccoli and carrots
Seeking inspiration for tonight, quite tempted by a stew but not sure what to go for. Might just go and gaze vacantly at the meat counter

I have some very ripe brie in the fridge and I thought to chop it up with tomatoes, basil and garlic then stir it through pasta.

Yes, I regard them as a plant-based version of pork scratchings, delicious but potentially expensive...

Usually on Fridays DS2 has a chippy and I please myself but as he's off out tonight I cooked last night and made Nigella's Fried Chicken Sandwich. Oh my it was excellent.
Re: What's everyone cooking this week? 2
Looks lovely, LTC!
Yesterday I tried Anna Jones' Halloumi pie that was in the Observer a few weeks ago. It was terrific, really delicious. Would definitely recommend it.
It seemed to take me an awfully long time to make it not sure why, although I always take at least twice as long as any suggested prep times; I guess I'm just slow.

On the assumption that my inexpensive Asda olives were not specially tasty, I used 24 instead of 12. It worked really well.
