I often make it with tagliatelle rather than rice aswell. Much prefer it that way. 

Stroganoff should be eaten with thin chips.

Rice indeed.

Have to say I prefer rice as well. Had none in the cupboard. First time using pasta and it works fine.

Chicken fajitas tonight.

That's the stuff to go in the wraps obviously. Looks a mess but very tasty.

It's two chicken breast sliced up, seasoned with salt, pepper and a blast from the chili and garlic grinder. There's a whole red onion in there, 4 cloves of garlic, a whole sweet red pepper and near enough a whole bag of mixed rocket leaves.

I put the garlic and red onion in the blender and whizz it a few times until it's fairly fine. That gets chucked in to a pan with a glug of olive oil on a medium heat for a while until the onions are almost caramelising.

Chicken is fired in to a wok with another glug of olive oil on a medium heat, and once each piece has been turned over once (i.e. it has some colour on one side) the onions and garlic are added in. 

The other pan is then turned right up to nearly full heat (the rings on my stove go to 6 so I put up to 5) and the pepper, which has been sliced in to thin slices, is added. The result here is to get a nice char on the peppers but not burn them. Gives them a nice flavour.

Whilst all that is cooking, I fire as much of a bag of mixes rocket leaves as I can in to the blender (it's a smaller one) and whizz it until fine. 

The peppers are then added to the wok. Give everything a nice mix and then, for the last couple minutes of cooking, fire the shredded leaves in. The leaves and onions mix to make a delightful coating (it really is nice enough to eat by itself) on the chicken and peppers.

Fire in some wraps to the oven for a couple of minutes and that's it.

The fajita mix is spooned on to a wrap, a wee bit of grated cheese is added, then the wrap is wrapped and a delicious dinner is had.

It makes a lot so a good portion of the fajita mix has been saved for sandwiches tomorrow.

Anyone got any recommendations or recipes for lamb neck? Picked some up from the shops when it was reduced and have no idea what to do with it (assuming it will need slow cooked).

Sounds delicious.  Can’t have fajitas without a dod of sour cream on them when wrapping mind.

Looks good, should try making your own guacamole next time, it’s dead easy & 100 times better than shop bought.
Put me in the mood for fajitas tonight now!

[DA Baracus]

Not a fan of guacamole or sour cream.

[stanton]

Not made these in years

Fajita sandwiches. Two bits of buttered bread per sandwich. Grated cheese on the bottom, add the leftover fajita mix, some Worcester sauce, more cheese on top, then wrapped in baking paper and fired in to the oven.

The premise was good but it was all let down by that bread mate. 

That bread looks shite. 

Edit : nae photos but my mate who had a BBQ with her kids yesterday dropped off some honey & sriacha coated turkey breasts so I pan'd that, some rice and then - on the recommendation of posters here - put some of the jalapeno habanero tabasco sauce through the rice. 

It was marvellous. Kudos to whoever brought that sauce up. Just the right amount of heat. Lovely.

Lamb tikka kebabs sizzling away nicely. Got some greek kebab meat to put on in a bit, along with some flatbreads and onion rings. The latter done in the oven of course.

Was just a basic Hovis effort. In normal times I'd get something better but not firing out at the moment to get something special. Usually do the shopping on a Sunday or Monday.

It was very good anyway. When roasted the bread was fine.

I’d be interested in seeing a photo of those lamb kebabs when they’re cooked, they look excellent.

Alas, not my usual stop for the shopping! I do like the food hall down in the retail park though. Some good stuff in there and the only place I know of that do Beavertown Brewery beer, which is exceptional.

Nope, but that's on the cards when I get some lamb mince though.
