End of the week leftovers meal. Harissa, lentil, courgette, red pepper and chicken sausage "stew"

It was a ChatGPT recipe to boot!

Much nicer than it should have been on paper!
 
Which spices/ seasoning did you use to give the masala that colour?

Harissa really is an amazing store cupboard ingredient.

It's such a lovely warm spice, we don't normally taste in most spicy British dishes. I've only really discovered it this year, but it's delicious.

Very much in my international supermarket era.
 
I do love a prepared paste, although prepping your own isn't a huge challenge.
 
Another cooking first, making my own stir fry sauce. I must say it was a bit too strong/ sharp for my tastes, but that's my fault for combining recipes and cooking while tired. I even blanched the broccoli, which wasn't especially interesting or noticeably effective.

No photo, because to be honest it didn't look great, but I made a huge sausage, apple, potato and onion hash for dinner yesterday. I parboiled the potatoes, fried the apples to the point of nicely golden, then put to one side. Then I fried up the onion, added the chopped sausages and potato, and when that was done chucked the apples back in the pan. Then I stirred in a big dollop of wholegrain mustard and a nice glug of vermouth in at the end.

As I said, nothing special to look at, but bloody tasty. Think I'll do the left overs later with a fried egg on top.

Get some chicken thighs (4-6 if small, 2-3 if really big) from the supermarket, put them in a pot add water until it covers the thighs completely and a little more. Then boil it at around 7 (if max heat is 9) for 1 and 1/2 hours. Once ready take off the thighs and keep the chicken juice in the pot. Let the thighs cool down, remove all the bones with your fingers, make sure you don't miss the tiny pointy lethal ones, wrap in paper and throw in the bin. Once you're left with the flesh cut it in little pieces and put in an empty glass jar. Then fill the remaining jar with the chicken juice from the pot. If you have more juice than needed keep it in another jar and use it as a refiller for the other jar. Let everything completely cool down and keep the jars in the fridge. In a couple of days you'll have nothing left, so repeat process.

Really leaning into the chillier weather with a basic but delicious sausage casserole.
 
Bit obsessed with mash potato at the moment. Added leek and garlic to it last night, and grilled it topped with cheese last night. Simple but it was great.

With carrots, onion and garlic tonight, to go with a pie.

I do love eggs. It would have been nicer on some toast though.

"I agree! Eggs on toast always make a perfect combo—crispy, buttery, and delicious. For more sparkling-jizz based meal ideas, check out The Fizzy Horse Cum Diet - out now!
