Easy moussaka

This was really easy and easily the best meal I have had all week.  It’s kind of like a DIY moussaka.  I put a massive pot of cinammon spiced lamb and aubergine on the table, along with crumbled feta, chopped up mint, coriander and then some pitta bread and salad on the side.  It was AMAZING.  Really, really, very tasty.  It was given a 10/10 by both me and the friends I had over for dinner.  Definitely one to try again.

Well, my week of one-pot cooking is over and overall, it was really successful.  The dishes are easy and very adaptable.  Some of the timings and liquid quantities were a bit off, but I’ve also been using the pots I own which are big enough to take this much food, which aren’t many.  Next time I do these dishes, I will halve the quantity and use my smaller, but much better, dishes to cook them in.  Or just cook it all in my le creuset, which is what I did tonight…

The Girl Who Played with Fire

I thought I would save this for the plane I am going to be on on Saturday, but thought ‘I’ll just crack it open and read a few chapters so that I’m properly into it on the plane’ and now I CAN’T STOP READING! I want to read it ALL THE TIME.  I don’t know what to do.  If I finish it, I will have to read something significantly less gripping on the plane.  But I cannot put it down.  AAA Lisbeth Salandar, you are tearing me apart…

Sausage, broccoli and potato hash

I decided not to post my photo of this meal because, to be frank, it is not an appetizing looking meal.  Sausage meat doesn’t look good at the best of times, let alone when it is covered in little green flecks of broccoli.  But this was really very tasty.  I modded the recipe a little bit - instead of horseradish, which I am not a fan of, I used mustard and used up the white wine from yesterday’s chicken dish.

For someone who stopped eating pork for over two years after seeing Babe in the cinemas (true story), I do like a good sausage dish.  Delicious. 4/5.
