I make a lot of casseroles as I do them in the slow cooker to make the meat really tender. Although it's a long cooking ttime, once it's in the pot you don't have to do anything.
One of my other favourites is Chicken breast topped with buffalo mozzarella and parma ham served with garlic mushrooms, steamed asparagus & herby roast potatoes
there are a few!
Fajitas/burritos/enchiladas
Chilli
Chilli & ginger pork with egg fried rice
Spinach & ricotta lasagne
Spanish sausage pan fry (potatos, aubergine, courgette, tomatoes, broccoli, herbs, onion and sausages all pan fried together = yummy!)
Chicken Parcels (chicken breast stuffed with rosemary and rocotta, wrapped in parma ham, pan friend to brown and then roasted in foil in the oven. serve on a bed of roasted vegetables)
Pesto crusted roast trout/seabass
thats proably the lot of my favourite meals to cook!
Anyway a cheap special of mine is get some pork ribs and sprinkle with paprika and salt, roast in a hot oven until well cooked. Rice, boiled or steamed. Or chips. Fresh salad or veg as you like.
It works for most meats especially chicken. You could also use roast veg.
Then tip all the juices from the meats into the rice for an extra rich taste.
ooooh sounds like a parmo
anyone from teesside will know what one of them is

ok!
4 chicken breasts
1 tub (300g? i think) of ricotta cheese
2 teaspoons of dried rosemary
1 large pack of parma ham slices (can use proscutio or v thin streaky bacon)
vegetables and olive oil for roasting
recipie for chicken parcels!
Flatten out a chicken breast with a meat hammer (or get your butcher to butterfly it)
in a bowl mix the ricotta and the rosemary together
spread the mixture thickly onto one side of each chicken breast
roll the breast like a swis roll and wrap totally in parma ham (like wrapping a parcel)
heat some oil and butter in a pan and fry until the ham is golden and brown
wrap each portion individually in foil and bake in the oven for approx 30min 180oc until cooked!
make sure you dont overcook as it can be dry!
alongside roast some vegetables (whatever you have lying around such as - aubergine, parsnip,carrot, onion, courgett, cherry tomatoes, butternut squash), if you want and added twist top with haloumi cheese 10min before cooking is finished!
for me i think i will try a cooked chicken. Not a normal chicken, but a chicken stuffed with spices and some veg.
Then roll out some flour, water and lots and lots of salt (i mean lots)
Wrap chicken in fil and then wrap the chicken and foil over the pastry and bake in oven for a long long time.
When its time to eat half a afternoon later be sure to have a hammer.
By the time the chicken comes out the oven it will be like a boulder rock, this is where the hammer comes in handy.
Oh, the other thing there is no smell while it is cooking so there is no givaway smell till it is cracked open.
How is this for a party gossip and trat..... totally different or what?!
its lovely too.
i just love cooking, have so many recipe books its unbelievable and will give anything a go
when i go round my mates, she provides alcohol and i provide and cook the food
favourite of ours is chicken balti, veg samosas, saag aloo, popadoms and rice yummy
