Alan’s Weekly Dietribe!

BIG POT of Cock-a-Leekie

Chicken legs flash fried in olive oil and a knob of butter then left to simmer in a broth of sliced leeks and celery, chopped onion and carrot, crushed garlic, dried thyme, mixed chicken and vegetable stock, sea salt and plenty of ground black paper all also fried with lardons, olive oil and butter!

Should do us for the week!

- Continuar con el proyecto de la pecera para pasarlo a #GodotEngine 4 y trastear. ¿Se viene juego de pececitos? 🙂
- Cocinar más. Ver si hay alguna forma de optimizar el momento de cocinar. No me gusta el #BatchCooking, así que veré de qué otra forma lo puedo acoplar a mí.
- Escribir la próxima retrospectiva como artículo en mi nueva web generada con #Pelican. 😉

Batch cooking makes it easier for me and my partner. I prep & cook over 2 days, & then I've contributed to the household. Then they don't have to think about it, they just get a container out of the freezer on any given night, & just need to heat up & make pasta.

#BatchCooking #CookingWithME #MECFS #FediKitchen

Threw in some ground chilli to give it an extra flavour & little kick.

All cooked. Will batch up later. Need to rest now #CookingWithME

Probably c. 20 meals for two, just add pasta.

#Food #BatchCooking #PastaSauce.

Making a big batch of Olive & Mushroom Pasta Sauce (my recipe), with a shed load of garlic.

#Food #BatchCooking #PastaSauce

This is the sauce after I reduced it. I had enough for tonight's dinner and two more litres for the freezer. #homecooking #cooking #food #BatchCooking

The pasta sauce all boxed up for freezing.

It ended up being 29 meals. Each container here holds enough pasta sauce for 2 people.

Because I find cooking so energy draining, my partner and I have a system when I save up some spoons and then spend a day batch cooking items such as pasta sauce, curries, stews and soups. Then he does the defrosting and cooking each evening, adding pasta, rice etc, as appropriate and serves up.

@fediKitchen

This is a shedload (c. 10 litres) of Mushroom Pasta Sauce. With all the #Garlic 😊

It includes:
30 medium-large garlic cloves
16 tins of tinned tomatoes
A mountain of thick cut mushrooms
Lashings of lightly fried pine nuts
Several handfuls of olives
A couple of bunches of freshly picked Golden Oregano

It will serve c. 30 individual meals.

It's taken me the whole day, as #CookingWithME.

6. Cook on a medium heat until the curry is nice and thick.

7. Serve the curry on top of your steaming rice. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander.

8. If batch cooking: put what curry you aren’t eating into containers and freeze. I reuse takeaway containers and put enough for two people in each one.

2. Heat a large pan. Add a splash of vegetable oil. Add your cubes of halloumi.

3. As the halloumi starts to brown, add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, chilli powder, & garam masala. Mix everything together, add your cauliflower, and then add tomato puree. Mix it in.

4. At this point, pour in your tinned tomatoes and your coconut milk. Stir everything together.

5. Get your rice on. (If batch cooking, only do enough for that day)
