Easy / Delicious Dinner Recipes

Bump

I've bought Nandos peri-peri sauce but have no idea what to use it for other than cover chicken in it and throw it in the oven. Any creative suggestions seeing as I have a whole bottle to use? Anything on google seems to come up with how to recreate it rather than use it.

I hate cooking, partly because I'm clueless about it. Hopefully something tasty like this can make me a bit more 'excited' about chucking stuff in an oven / pan or wok rather than boring old Uncle Bens in chicken etc. Try and look up a recipe online and you get a whole extravagant essay - can't be arsed with that, never mind make it. Funnily enough, this topic thread jumped out at me.

I quite often buy vegetables like peppers, onions and mushrooms and just throw them into a frying pan then pour some of that sauce into it. It's usually as a side with something else but you could chuck some chicken in first and have a stir fry, it tastes great.

Here's another easy curry recipe, it's pretty mild due to the coconut milk obviously. And suitable for vegetarians.

1 x 400ml tin of chickpeas in water

1 x 400ml tin of lo-fat coconut milk (or full fat if you're feeling greedy

100-150g spinach

you'll need a jar of masala curry paste, this will last for ages in the fridge.

1 x medium sized onion

Optional : mushrooms, green chillies (if you want it hotter), peppers/ whatever other veg you want, I just use those 3 things.

start by draining the water from the chickpea tin into your pot / pan ( I use a large frying pan but a soup / stock pot might be better for stirring), put the chickpeas to one side.

Cut up the onion and optional other things and cook it in the chickpea water until it has almost evaporated (5 mins)

take 2 big table spoonfuls of the curry paste and stir fry the veg in this until it's all coated. ( 2 mins)

Turn the heat down to low then pour in the tin of coconut milk, and stir until it changes from white to yellow as it blends with the paste. (2 mins)

Turn the heat back up a bit and chuck in about half the spinach, stirring occasionally until it has wilted (5 mins)

Fling in the chickpeas and the rest of the spinach, and cook until the texture has turned from milky to nice and thick like a curry (10 mins)

serve with whatever you like (rice, naan, bacon).

Mince cheese crumble. Cook some mince in a pot, with mushroom, tomato, Worcester sauce and brown sauce. Chuck in an oven dish, make a crumble, mix in Some grated cheese, cover over the top of the mince and chuck in the oven until the crumble Is golden brown.

Sounds nice, is the oven dish not a bit lumpy though?
