[QUOTE="Rudyard, post: 1006344, member: 79464"] Well... Started the day on almonds and dried apricots... and coffee. Rubbish night's sleep last night and a monster busy day today. Ho Hum! Last night I made salmon with a gorgeous red pepper sauce - the OH had chips and I was very good at resisting (Even if I do say so myself, I make fabulous chips!) - I prepared the left-over top-end of a butternut squash - scooped out the seeds and mush, peeled and then roasted it in with the chips. Had some bargain-bin prawns that needed eating so pan-fried those with loads of garlic and lemon juice and packed mine into the butternut squash then topped the lot with the pepper sauce (If you want to be a smarty pants, you can pack the red-pepper sauce into rice (for those of you who can tolerate rice) - if you cook brown rice in chicken stock it makes it really tasty... Anyway, roast the red peppers until all the skin is blackened, stick them in a pan and allow to cool - peel off the black bits, pull out the seeds and throw the peppers in a blender with some cream and blend until smooth - you can pass through a sieve, too if you like... then warm and pour onto salmon, or monkfish - or any meaty fish. If you're going to do the rice thing, grab a bowl and grease a little, pack the rice in and make a little well using an egg cup. Pull out the egg cup and fill the well with the red pepper sauce, finally covering with more rice. Place a plate on top, up-end and tap and pull off the bowl. The rather nice looking dome will hold the pepper sauce until you cut into the rice, rather like a chicken kiev... but RED!!!! Again, serve with a meaty fish....) Tonight we're on steak - more bargain bin stuff - a couple of fab looking sirloins, plenty of veggies for me and maybe some mushrooms. I think we have some blue cheese in the fridge, might use that up with the remaining cream and some garlic. It's a good job I work in a room on my own...! BTW - Jojo Broadie - I'm glad you like my ramblings. I must admit it's fun - I also like it that our lads (9 & 7 - both going on 17) are such good eaters... [/QUOTE]
