Apparently some guy has been cycling along the hard shoulder of the M9 in Grangemouth tonight. The Police received numerous phone calls before he was found and removed.
What was he thinking??
Some idiot on a bike nearly ran straight into me and the dogs in the park last night.
The park is not well lit, but he had no lights on, had earphones in and was texting on his phone so wasn't even looking where he was going! Twat.
Beef ( I had shin but any cheap cut)
1 onion sliced
2 carrots sliced
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder ( i used garlic salt and missed out the salt)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp thyme
pinch cinnamon
pinch chilli flakes
250 ml beef stock
250 ml chhopped tomatoes
1 tbsp tomato puree
Bung it all in. Low for 4-6 hours.
Chicken tikka masala
Chicken thighs (2 or 3 per person)
3/4 tin coconut milk
tin tomatoes
1 tblsp grated ginger
2 garlic cloves
1 onion
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tblsp palm sugar
1/4 tsp chilli flakes
1/4 tsp salt
*It says to sear the chicken with a sprinkling on garam masala but I didn't bother, I just put it straig in with the onion.
* melt some oil and butter in a pan and add the ginger and garlic, when it's sizzling add the coconut milk and tomatoes
then add all the spices and palm sugar
* bung it all in slow cooker. Doesn't need long 4 hours on low.
(I reduced the sauce a wee bit to thicken it up at the end)
Very tasty! :-)
