2 spuds & a small cauliflower needed using up. Par boiled the veggies in turmeric water & let them cool. Fried off onions, chillies & garlic with a squirt of tomato puree an oxo & the requisite spices to make sauce, stirred in said veggies, warmed through with a splash of water.
Indian side dish (Bombay Potatoes with cauliflower).
Cheap, easy to cook & healthy...YUM! 8-)

Indeed, a good store is worth it's weight in gold, ironically i'm out of fresh coriander which should be sprinkled on serving, & yes i always cook Indian from scratch, have done for years! :y

99 percent of the best chefs are men and in all professional kitchens you will find 99 percent men believe me it's a harsh environment for women!!

That does sound good..
I just browned some sausages, onions, a red pepper and garlic, popped them in the bottom of the slow cooker with some carrots, celery, mushrooms, mange tout, tinned toms, stock cube, Italian herbs, salt, pepper and a little marmite. I'm hoping what I end up with tomorrow is a nice casserole.
I'm concerned that what I'll end up with will be inedible swill ;D

I stand corrected.
Men - cooking. It just isnt natural, unless they are getting paid good money to do it. :P :y :D ;D ;D

If the texture declines into swill you have made a soup or broth. Serve in bowls, sprinkle with grated cheddar & smear crusty bread with butter, dip & enjoy. Nothing is ever lost unless you over salt it.
It's not burnt it's caramalized!!! :y

that sounds good.... did you get a good amount of HP sauce too?
thats a winner!! livens up everything :y :y :y

:y I'm hoping the sausages stay in lumps (they're chopped up) - because they looked gorgeous browning in the pan.. I'm drooling just thinking about them!
Webby - damn, HP sauce.. something else to add to the shopping list along with the rooster sauce :)

hahahaha ;)

I have that - it's good stuff :)
However.. &^%$ *^!&*@£% *&!^@ I left for work this morning and forgot to put the damned slow cooker on! :(
Wonder if it'll all still be OK tomorrow morning or if I'll just have a chilled bowl of festering food.

I do all the cooking in this house too, I enjoy it.
About to have a go at a slow cooker too, so expecting some breakups in that dept ;D

;D ;D ;D Priceless - although you're right to be concerned, depends on the ambient temperature of your kitchen I suppose.
It warrants a good old sniff all the same before using it (although the acidity of the tomatoes may help to delay any decline into bowel-wrenching qualities) and I would cook it off in the oven immediately you get home.

Ah it's been in the fridge all night.. which is where it remains, sadly! So it's been at a frigid ~0C since 10pm last night.

I would happily enjoy it with some good quality bread and a glass of nice heavy red upon getting home in that case. :-* :-* 8-) :y

i love to cook and have done most of the cooking in our house since me and mrs bertie started living together....and i have even considered taking a cookery course at the local college as i would like to know how to cook properly and even try my hand at beef wellington and other dishes i have drooled at when channel hopping the cookery channels at night..... :P :P :) :)

The casserole was a success! Well, sort of.. I came home at lunchtime as I was feeling quite out of sorts (read: bloody awful) - but at least that gave me a chance to stick the slow cooker on!
6hrs later and what came out was not exactly what I'd call a casserole, but that's because it contained tinned toms and not. .. whatever the heck you make a casserole out of. Anyway, quite tasty with some steamed baby corn, sugar snap peas, spinach and home made chilli potato wedges. Oh, and some Reggae Reggae sauce.
How I just need to find some containers to freeze all the leftovers! :)
