It's not been as hard as I expected so far, just takes a bit of planning to get enough protein in the diet without meat.
The picture for tonight's effort came out shit, so I'll just describe it: Chile relleno (a poblano to be exact) stuffed with queso fresco, black beans, chipotles and red onions on top of a jalapeno & lime sweet potato mash. |

Has anyone got any good suggestions for lunch time food at work? We only have a microwave in terms of cooking facilities, so it would have to be something I could either cook at home and re-heat, or just cook in a microwave straight off.
Mainly been having soup/sandwiches/baked potatoes, but the cost of buying from a shop everyday adds up and if I bring in soup this can get a bit bland every day. I have a few recipes that I can use for this, but alway good to have more, and others must be in this situation as well. |

Curries, stews, pasta dishes, shepherds/cottage/fish pies, even steak and chicken with dauphine potatoes instead of chips - just under cook the stuff at home and let the microwave finish it off.

Always happeens that DT. The amount of times I've started taking pics then been too busy finishing the meal and eating it that I don't get the final shots. Oh well.
I've got some omelette pics to put up myself. Spanish tortilla with chorizo. I'll do them this afternoon actually. Great looking food that by the way. Really great. |

I'm not taking credit for this. It was lovely, cooked by my gf. Quite simple, but I love her anyway.
No, I mean the lunch was quite simple obviously, she's mega intelligent; and she reads the caf, so I have to be careful hehe. The fish I'll have to name later, cos I've forgotten what she calls it, and I didn't get a translation at the time. (edit: She calls it Casteñata, which I think is Pomfret, or even Pompano) So, here it is: Total ingedients: Fish Olive oil Wine Garlic Parsley Flour Rice (we used some leftover rice from the night before Carrot Green(ish) pepper Courgette Onilon The ingrediets all together: ![]() Marinate the fish in wine, olive oil, with garlic, and parsley (for as long as you can) ![]() Chop the carrot, onion, courgette, pepper, and fry the veg together in some olive oil. When it's going soft add the rice. ![]() Coat the fish in flour and fry (again in olive oil) ![]() Until golden brown (don't over do it) ![]() Voila ![]() Here's special ingredient that isn't essential but it's blood handy to have in the kitchen: Spoiler

Brilliant stuff DomesticTadpole and solvista.
I am not sure if you guys know about Chiptole Mexican grill, although quite unhealthy, their open bowl burrito tastes delicious. I am going to attempt and recreate. So what I will be attempting is grilled chicken and guacamole. Hopefully I will have it up by tomorrow evening at the latest. I also think I will do a chicken biryani soon as some one had requested it. |

The secret of a Spanish Omelette (Tortilla)
I've always tried and failed to do this, mainly because I hadn't got a clue how to go about it. So here's the gf's method. I missed the bit where she flipped it, but I got the rest.
Ingredients: About 5 small/medium potatoes Half a medium onion 6 eggs (and in this one, but not necessary) Some chorizo Dice the potatoes and chop the onion. ![]() Put them in a frying pan with bucket-loads of oil. ![]() Chop the chorizo (This chorizo was homemade by her grandparents. If you want the original home-made stuff you'll have to go to Xunqueiras in Galicia and ask nicely, but shop-bought chorizo will do very nicely) ![]() Fry the chorizo in a seperate pan (we did this because we wanted to re-use the oil from the potatoes) ![]() Beat the eggs in a bowl and when the potatoes and onion are cooked so that they're soft add them to the eggs.... ![]() ....and then mix it all together throughly. ![]() Add them to the frying pan (IMPORTANT: Empty the oil out first!!) Right. I missed this next bit, but here's what she did: Poured the mixture into the frying pan, added the chorizo and getly stirred it in, left it on the medium/high heat for about 2 or 3 mins, then flipped it over. She did this by putting a plate on top of the mixture, picking up the pan and quickly tipping the whole thing over onto the plate. Then she quickly slid the whole thing back into the pan. It was a work of art, so I'll have to video it next time and post it up in here. Then leave on the heat for a further few minutes, so the other side cooks. ![]() It was just a quick lunch so we had it with a bit of bread, some bacon and a (caña of) beer.

See the flipping bit solvista, if you skipped that out, and stuck it under the grill, in the pan, you'd get the exact same effect, much easier. In fact, the oven would make it rise a bit and go puffy. Try it.

As mentioned earlier, about the chipotle burrito bowl, I have decided to do the recipe real quick and post it online.
We will start with guacamole. I know there are probably quite a few versions of the recipe to make guacamole. I found that this one works best for me. Recipe: 3-4 Avocados Cilantro Juice of half Lime 1/2 red onion coarsely chopped Finely chopped 1 jalapeno pepper Salt to taste Now come the pics and step by step description. Step one: Make sure you have all the ingredients as mentioned above. ![]() Step two: Make sure the avocados are ripe. Scoop out the "meat" of the avocados and chop the avocado, red onion, and jalapeno pepper. ![]() Step three: Pick out the cilantro leaves off the stem and give them a rough chop and cut your lime in half to be squeezed later. ![]() Step four: In a container put all the chopped ingredients and also add salt to taste. Also squeeze the half lime on the ingredients. ![]() Step five: Using a spoon start mixing all the ingredients together and try to lightly mash all the ingredients but also make sure they remain sort of chunky. You will end with something like this as the final result. ![]() Remaining part of the whole recipe (burrito bowl) to follow in the next few posts...

Alright in this post I will explain to you how to do the marinade for the chicken.
Ingredients required (shamelessly stolen from copykat): 2 oz. dried ancho chilies 1 tsp. ground black pepper 2 tsp. ground cumin 2 tsp. dried oregano 6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped 1/4 red onion, coarsely chopped 3 Tbsp. canola oil 4 chicken breasts Step One: Soak the Ancho chilies over night and they will become sort of fresher/soft. ![]() Step Two: Line up all the chilies.... ![]() Step Three: Chop the chilies (remove seeds and stem), garlic and red onion. ![]() Step Four: All the spices - cumin powder, black pepper and oregano ![]() Step Five: In a grinder put all the chopped ingredients, spices, salt and oil and grind it all. ![]() Step Six: Cut chicken breasts and slit randomly all around so that the marinade can penetrate inside the breasts. ![]() Step Seven: Make sure all the chicken breasts get applied nicely with the marinade and then store it in the fridge overnight. ![]() Grilling will commence tomorrow

Seriously though, no you wouldn't get the same effect. The lovely bit of the tortilla is the slightly crispy pan-fried outer on both sides that you get from... well, doing it in a pan on both sides. They're not fluffy, that's not really how they're supposed to be. I see your point, but I've pm'd peterstorey about it, and he disagrees entirely. He says doing it under the grill is a catholic-ponce-cunt-middle-class-daily-mail way to do it.

I have a very tasty looking Guinea Fowl, I'm cooking (posh) lunch for 6 tomorrow.
Anyone got some inspiration for me on what to serve with it? |

I have just one question sparksy - Did this thread get you into cooking stuff for yourself?
If it did, then, regardless of all the other incredible stuff we've seen in here (which we do on a regular basis) this thread was a touch of unwitting genius on my part. I never thought I could "spark" that kind of interest, but I'm so fuckin glad I did. |
