My fish stew was a roaring success... on the second attempt. I was so drunk/distracted that I burnt the onions on returning from the pub so we abandoned dinner and I made it for lunch instead the next day. It was lovely, just the right blend of citrus flavour and chilli, I put probably 25g too much cous cous in though so it was quite a thick 'stew' but still more than acceptable.
and yesterday I wasn't in the mood to leave the flat so I made a storecupboard chilli with some leftover quorn mince that's been languishing in my freezer for a while. again I think I managed to get the heat just right (I used hot pepper sauce, chilli flakes, chilli powder, cayenne powder and chilli paprika) and was a little more bold in my use of cocoa and cinnamon and they added a really nice depth to the flavour. the quorn was a little disappointing but I did what I could to bring it to life soaking it all morning in some worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce and a beef stock cube (problem veggies?) with a little water so it at least tasted of something. Served it with some farmhouse granary bread and a little butter and it was delicious, I forced myself to portion the leftovers out and chuck them in the freezer as quickly as is safe to do so to prevent me from scoffing the lot throughout the day.
am skint this week though so it'll be frozen pizza's or chicken burgers for a few days now :(
