angelgirluk Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Hi can anyone recommend any decent recipes that are quick and easy? We eat meat and like most things, so suggestions would be lovely. I was hoping to be able to make some kind of sauce aswell.... but anything will be considered (within reason, of course!!!). Many thanks xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discodown Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Heres a good one. Serves 2 hungry people You will need a chorizo sausage fresh spinach cherry tomatoes (about 6) pasta a red onion Heres what you do finely dice the onion, deseed and finely chop the tomotoes cut the sausage into bitesized chunks, fry it very gently with no oil. the heat will release the fat and oil within the sausage start to cook the pasta put the sausage to one side and increase the heat in the pan, fry the onion until it colours and starts to sweat then reduce the heat and add the tomatoes once the pasta is cooked, drain it and pour it into the other pan, coat it with the oil and return the sausage to the pan add the spinach and stir it through until it wilts and then serve up after dressing it with pepper and extra virgin olive oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasilRathbon Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Here's a recipe for a tasty nut-based snack! 1. Buy a packet of peanuts. 2. Open packet, put peanuts in mouth. 3. Chew and swallow. Serves 1. If holding a dinner party, simply buy more peanuts. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick2 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Stroganoff is quick, and can be steak or mushroom based, to it's ok for everyone* (I don't do exact measurements or times) 1lb steak and 1lb mushrooms, or just 2lb of musrooms, slices thinly 1 large onion, chopped as small as possible knob of butter a big (half pint ?) tub of double cream (or creme fraiche) Brandy (a miniature bottle worth, or a bit more) Paprika (to taste, I like lots) Strong beef stock (or 1 OXO in a couple of tablespoons boiling water) Melt butter Add onion Add steak and mushrooms (or just mushrooms) Fry briefly until onion soft, meat just cooked Add brandy Ignite the brandy to burn off the alcohol (watch out for eyebrows at this point) Add double cream Add paprika Reduce until sauce is required thickness, adding stock as required to taste. Serve on rice, or even better, buttered noodles. *except vegans, but I don't know any of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mifsit Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 have you seen Nigella Express, she's been doing meaty dinners in about 20 mins , droool My favorite quick meal is to quickly fry beef or chicken strips with onion and peppers, whack into a tortilla wrap with some chilli sauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennypie Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Salmon is really easy. I usually put some Thai 5 Spice and Indian 7 Spice (or other way round) and some soy sauce on to the salmon, wrap in tinfoil and put in the oven for 20 minutes, unwrap and carry on baking for about 10 minutes (so goes crunchy on top) and then serve with rice with kidney beans/noodles/salad. Mmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that i want to be pedantic but you should really use sour cream. it doesn't actually matter but thats the classic way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
