Forget the air fryer and slow cooker, I got a chance to cook today and fired up the Stanley stove. Roasted a huge lamb shoulder with roast tatties and steamed veggies.

Ooooo, Steak and Kidney Pud. nom nom nom

I made Singapore Noodles with Prawns in my industrial size wok.

I always forget to take a picture once the meal is ready but here's what went into it:

I was fancying roast lamb Wendy but told myself not to be silly....
Steak pudding chips and peas would be nice as well David but the puds are verboten.....
So I stuck to chicken and veggies and felt no pain.....

Spooky, Shoulder of lamb was our main meal. Basted with mint, basil and rosemary. Very little fat on it which was a surprise. Went down a treat with enough for another meal+.

Roast chicken here, we had lamb with our visitors on Saturday, and I think our friend Wendy is doing lamb for lunch today

The tapas tea went well, all seven sufficiently fed and watered. The dishwasher is loaded and running and the kettle is on for a brew

I have always thought shoulder of Lamb like Shoulder bacon, is sweeter meat and often carries less fat.
I stuck to me chicken and veggies......

Chicken and veggies X three....

Chicken and veggies with the addition of my weekly treat of some sweet potato chips!

Chicken and veggies X three. It will end today.....

I will be having Lamb Kleftico made in the air fryer. It's quicker than the oven. I need to make some bread though which will involve the oven but only for 40 minutes.

You'll have to let me know how that goes Ian. Paulette likes a Kleftico.

I have done it a few times in the air fryer Kev. I use pre cooked diced lamb that has been batch cooked via the slow cooker. Only takes an hour in the air fryer just to cook the spuds etc and bring the rest of the bits together. Comes out just about bob on.

I had the last of the chicken and veggies, exactly three helpings to empty the fridge. Cooked my veggies for the week and this morning I'll roast the 4 hour chicken.

Scotch egg and veggies X three but back in the groove today!

Chicken and veggies X three.... Back on track!

Chicken and veggies.....

Chicken and veggies X three. Fully on song now.....

Chicken and veggies X three. I never tire of it!

We reach the end of this week's chicken and veggies. Today will be the end of them.

Chicken and veggies for tea at Chez Kev today.

2lb of chicken thighs have been marinating in natural yoghurt, fresh chillies, garlic, ginger, garam masala, salt and pepper. I've roasted some cumin seeds in a pan and browned some onions, it's all gone in the pressure cooker and will 'hiss' away for around 25 minutes. In the meantime there's another pot full of veg gurgling away with some of the roasted cumin seeds, turmeric, fresh chillies, roughly chopped garlic a red pepper and some salt & pepper. I have chopped up some fresh coriander to finish it off and will be dining around 7pm with poppadoms, lime pickle, raita and some lager to wash it down. There'll be enough left to freeze for another day

I'll bet your kitchen smells good Kev!

It does indeed

Yesterday was the last of the chicken and veggies, all finished down to the last scrap! I didn't cook veggies, I remembered I had had the booster and perhaps that was why I ached a bit so I was kind to myself and watched snooker instead. So today is a cooking day starting at 6AM, the chicken and 2lbs of hot and spicy wings goes in to roast and later after it has had its 4 hours I shall start cooking veggies. It's going to be a busy day.

Literally -for tea I had a cup of Soursop Tea It's a long story and you don't deserve further punishment - but it falls into the category of "don't knock it till you've tried it". Surprisingly I quite liked it. There's Raspberry and Passion Fruit still to be tried.

It had the additional benefit of being a free gift when bought with some normal Ceylon black tea.
