Yeah, some of my cooking finishes up like that when I forget about it in the oven! Lol Big Grin

Two YS purchases in an experimental dish that actually tasted divine.  Cool

Slow poached florence fennel (31p) and Haddock loin (£1.21). Thinly sliced fennel cooked in a wok with butter and the juice of an orange. When softened a bit (took ages!) added haddock loin, covered and poached on a low heat for 15 minutes.
Served haddock on a bed of fennel and added cream and salt and pepper. Smile

Gammon ham with poached egg & asparagus ( I was devastated when I saw asparagus in my shopping bag! Long story). On toast.  It was quite nice though  Blush . 
Followed by homemade rice pudding! Never made that before.

Roast chicken breast with roast potatoes, mash, broccoli, beans and carrots with gravy made from the veg water. Apparently that was the best roast potatoes ever, and Jay would've been very happy if that was his Christmas day dinner! I'll take that for sure Smile

A couple of hours later, I had leftover yorkshire puds with yoghurt and jam.

Well,they were pork chops! Big Grin 

I made the gravy in my little gravy boat with one oxo cube topped up with gravy granules & juices from the meat. I mustn't have mixed it well enough and don't strain my gravy! Rolleyes Still tasty though! Cool


RE: 2022 - Tonight's recipe - Veggie - 23-10-2022

You don't need to use stock cubes and granules to make gravy.
Stir a little flour into the fat & meat juices in the roasting tin over a little heat. Add the veg water, little by little, stirring all the time. Soon you have Real gravy.Big Grin
My first attempts at Real gravy were described as as thick as tar - so solid you could carve it!

If you say so, but I have always used meat juices,oxo and gravy granules and like it that way! Tongue Your way sounds a bit 'wishy washy' (and you don't get a picture of a pigs head on your chop) Big Grin
