What's for Dinner?

(1/158) > >>

Laura:
I thought I would start a thread where we can report what kinds of meals we prepare living on a gluten and dairy free diet.  How creative are we?  How deliciously do we eat? 

So, let me kick it off.

Tonight I made a lamb tagine that I served with French style green beans and mashed potatoes.  For dessert we had buckwheat shortbread made with ghee with hot mango/pineapple fruit compote piled on top.

The meal was started and finished cooking in about 1 hr and 45 minutes, though much of that time was spent doing other things since stuff was just cooking.  It was made with quite a few frozen ingredients, I used the pressure cooker for the lamb tagine which, after 45 minutes of cooking with onions, carrots and dried apricots, tasted like it had been stewing all day!  The pineapple and mango chunks were fresh frozen, cooked briefly in ghee in the wok with golden raisins added.  The potatoes were instant with plenty of ghee in them.  The beans were frozen, fried in duck fat with garlic.

It was a beautiful, delicious, deeply satisfying meal and so easy it was like falling off a log!

truth seeker:
This is fun. :) For the last three days and tonight, (since I made a lot) I've had collard greens with pork (from the neck) and ham. Alongside are baked yams. Sometimes for dessert, frozen berries in coconut or hemp milk with a little xylitol or blue agave. It's like a tropical drink. :)

edit: clarification

I don't want your recipes in this thread.  Put it in a recipe thread.  This is just to tell what you DID have for dinner.  What your menu was and a few quick things about whether it was easy or not.  I want people to inspire others by what they have done already, not give a recipe for what they could do, might do, or suggest that someone do.  I want to peek into other kitchens and invite you into mine!

I've moved the recipe posts to their own threads.

Last night we had mushroom soup, my wife cooked and side of raw vegies.  I sat eating it, imagining I was eating appricot chicken with coconut rice.

Ellipse:
Goog idea !

This evening organic raw celery, a tin of peas & carrots with lamb cooked in the oven (since I've my oven I use it practically each day) and prunes for the dessert.

Tomorrow morning, buckwheat toasts with tea.
