I have reached the conclusion that our freezer is actually bottomless. How else could we have managed to jam quite so much produce into its three shelves. We're desperate to defrost the bugger but we just keep unearthing stuff that needs eating - or should that be un-icing?
The meal plan this week, therefore, is brought to you courtesy of "Let's try and be creative with the random ingredients that we have discovered and get the bloody freezer empty in time to defrost it before we go on holiday in a fortnight." Some of the dishes are rather wintry considering that we are in the (admittedly less than dizzying) height of summer but what care we for seasonality in the circumstances?
Monday: peppered mackerel fish cakes, salad, minty yoghurt dressing
Tuesday: Osso bucco, saffron risotto
Wednesday: courgette (they're from the garden rather than the freezer), bacon and goats' cheese pasta
Thursday: mussel paella
Friday: Thai red curry
Saturday: oxtail braised in chorizo and red wine, fried potatoes
Sunday: fish pie

Osso bucco, yum.
ReplyDeleteI've just done exactly the same!
fish and spinach curry with chapatis for brunch
almighty vat of bone broth
pea and broad bean hummus
green bean salad
baklava
treacle tart (unboxed roll of pastry...thought it was shortcrust, turned out to be puff...)
No deceased guinea pigs in there this time at least.
(Just stalking Waffle's comments...)
Ohhhh, I will swap you some Osso bucco for baklava, I love the stuff!
DeleteI love the sound of those fish cakes - and I'm mad about courgettes (especially the yellow ones which are a rarity). Also agree on baklava - although I find it's either sublime or (more usually) disappointing and dry
