Weather shite, got onions, carrots and potatoes from allotment yesterday morning, made a Moroccan lamb meatball stew yesterday.
Sauce of onions, peepers, ras el hanout, garlic, once all softened added courgettes and aubergine, tinned tomatoes and chickpeas, pressure cooker for about a hour. Lamb mince, harisa paster, shallots and breadcrumbs for meatballs, about 40 minutes baked in over, then added into the stew, served with couscous.
Parents-in-Law here today, made a beef curry and beef stroganoff (Angela doesn't like curry).
Curry, usual lamb curry, but with beef, beef marinaded overnight in yoghurt with garam masala, chilli, garlic and ginger. Fried up in pressure cooker with lots of onions and peppers, chicken stock and tinned tomatoes and pasata added, under pressure for an hour, into an oven proof dish to put next course in pressure cooker - beef stroganoff:
Fried off beef and onions, reserved, fried quartered mushrooms, reserved, deglazed pan with chicken stock, added beef, onions, mushrooms back in 45 minutes under pressure then rested.
For starters, had 1/2 a dozen shop bought samosas and bhajis, made mint rathi, tomato and red onion with chilli and mango chutney from jar with shop bought papadums.
Made a simple bombay potato to go with main and some boiled potatoes, taters from allotment. Plain boiled rice as well.
Finished with standard carrot cakes, they love them and they helped relieve some of the stress on fridge and freezer by taking home the rice, boiled potatoes and stroganoff left overs. I will have curry tomorrow, San going to the America for the night.
