What Did You Have For Dinner Last Night?

My mother used to make some good samosas. The secret is in getting the right mix of potato and pea. And to make it as spicy as is legally allowed. ;)

Right. :) Am I supposed to cook the potato first before the samosas go into the frier? Because I remember mine turned out semi-raw on the inside. You know how long chips take in the frier and they're in direct contact with the oil, but the pastry would surely burn, or the whole thing go soggy, if left in that long.
I think so. As with most done of this sort, pre-cooking the filling is a given so as not to hand most of the cooking to the fryer and risk burning the pastry. I'll have to ask mother about more details when I get back home.
 
Marinated chicken enchiladas with a salsa verde topping. Since it was the weekend, I marinated it in this concoction of chiles, vinegar, garlic, etc. for several hours.

Made the salsa verde from scratch, but it was a bitch to find tomatillos. Made fresh guacamole as well.
 
Last night ~ steak cooked with garlic and black pepper, sauteed potatos and ratatatatatooeeeee. Love courgettes.

Today as man is staying at his because he has jury duty tomorrow (how exciting is that?) I'm going to have stuffed crust pizza and tempted to go to shop of bottle of red ~ beware stupid thread starting shortly :lol:
 
Steak and twice-baked potatoes (with sour cream, chicken broth and garlic baked in on the second go-round) for me.
 
Tonight we had schnitzel, potatoes, veggies and a salad. And a very nice glass of white wine :)
 
We had pork chops (from a local pork producer), sweet corn (from a local vegetable grower), and a salad made with cabbage (from another local grower).

I work for a farm organization, so I like to support the folks who help pay my salary. Besides...it was all sooooooooo goooooood. May as well enjoy all this wonderful stuff while it's still in season.

Edit: Although pork, of course, is always in season!
 
I'm about to have home made samosas!!! I have no idea what they will be like, but they look correct. :lol:
 
They're lovely. :) I would have posted photo for you to judge, but I'm too busy eating. ;)

No where near as greasy as I feared. Precooked potato and pea balance is about right. I put lots of spices in but I can barely taste them. I think a lot of them found their way out in the oil. Pastry is a slightly grainy, and not as crisp as factory made ones, but is generally okay. Shape is a bit off as I wasn't sure how to make pyramids, but that doesn't really matter. Suffice to say I'm having another :)
 
You should meet my mother one day and exchange recipes. :bolian: Glad to see they turned out well.
 
Last night I had London broil with Brussels sprouts.

In Canada, "London broil" is flank steak rolled with ground pork. As Wikipedia says: "The origin of the name is obscure; the food is unknown in London, England."

It sure is tasty, though. :drool:

I'm impressed! I've never attempted them myself.

We had meatloaf, steamed broccoli and cauliflower, and garlic mashed potatoes tonight. It was my first time making meatloaf, and I've been nervous about cooking some American foods since my mother-in-law is an amazing cook. But my husband loved dinner! :)
