Paid Members Gus Mears Posted March 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 21, 2017 Fuck it, I will endeavour to do it at the weekend too. We can have a paneer party. Â Chest, I don't own a pressure cooker, how would you best suggest an alternative method of cooking that element of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 21, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 21, 2017 Umm. I guess you'd just boil it, but for longer that you pressure cook it. You might need to add a little extra liquid I suppose if it starts to dry out? Sorry. I think that should be fine, but hopefully Onyx or Thunderplex will come by and confirm/correct..

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted March 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 21, 2017 I'd say that's just about right, just keep an eye on it. I'll be giving it a shot at the weekend too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted March 22, 2017 Awards Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'd fry the onion, carrot and garlic together until tender, and simmer the potatoes in water separately before adding them to the other pan. They'll take aaaaages to soften just from frying. Then add the tomatoes and spinach, lid on and let the spinach wilt down (will take less than five minutes). Â Gotta love a "mum's recipe".

Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted March 22, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) I can safely ask about Quinoa in this thread, right? Â I cut out gluten, grains and dairy and most sugars about 6 weeks ago for a bunch of reasons. At first I lost a lot of weight, but I'm starting to get back to where I was now... Anyways, fine cooks of the UKFF, give me some Quinoa inspiration. Â Im making porridges out of it with Almond Milk, blueberries, almonds and Pumpkin seeds. Â Also cooking it with leftover veggie stock to add to salads and to use as sides. Â what else can I do with it /add to it? I need ideas.

Keith Houchen Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Tamarind paste. Got a jar of it, what shall I use it for. Bung some in a tomato sauce or with coconut milk, that sort of thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted March 22, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'm RIGHT AT THIS SECOND eating quinoa that I boiled as per-usual, before adding finely chopped garlic, sundried tomato, a lot of thyme and basil, spring onion, feta and a glug of chilli infused olive oil to. Cheap, easy and filling lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 22, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 22, 2017 Keith - you can use it to make imli chutney, which you can then eat with loads of different things. It's kind of like a sweet and sour sauce. You mix the paste with water, jaggery, powdered roasted cumin and fennel, chili powder and salt.

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted March 22, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2017 Sorry, missed your Q there Keith.  One of my favourite dishes is tamarind prawns. Tamarind paste (or raw tamarind), chilli, brown sugar lime luice, ginger and soy sauce, bang in a blender and mix with the prawns for a few hours/overnight. Grill them and serve with fresh green salad with spring onions in. Delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Cheers Chest, that sounds ace. Will have to make some of that garlic and ginger paste too. Gus, might give that a go with some chicken, or quorn. Edited March 22, 2017 by Keith Houchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap, easy and filling lunch. Yeah I've been doing the usual thing of bunging a load of herbs/chilli with it. Just wondering if there's some super duper secret recipe that I'm missing out on? I've been eating so much of the stuff recently, I just wanna freshen it up a little. Â Also, cheap? pardon my ignorance, but at nearly 4 quid a bag in Morrisons, it's a bit steep. Or am I buying the wrong stuff? Fess up, Gus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted March 22, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) At Aldi it was under a quid for a bag big enough for about 5 portions. May have been on offer though.Welcome to this week's moderately tasty edition of 'Let's look at Gus' lunch''What's that on the left?' I hear you ask. Why, it's homemade hummus with a pitta bread sticking out the top, next to my plastic duck. Edited March 22, 2017 by Gus Mears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted March 22, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2017 Sweet. Â I usually shop at Lidl, but I've never seen it in there. I'll check my local Ali. Â Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a number of veggie mates who seem to vary wildly on whether they do or don't count seafood. Obviously it's down to personal preference,  but I do find it fascinating to hear the various takes on it.  I'd consider going veggie, but I think I'd still eat fish and seafood if I'm honest.
