What's for Dinner? June 2009

Snap Charlotte!

Tonight's dinner is going to be spaghetti and italian meatballs made in my slow cooker!

We are having Irish stew:-

1/2 bag of potatoes
3 medium or 2 large carrots
1 onion
800g mince (preferably beef)
1.5l beef stock (or enough to cover ingredients)
dried thyme and black pepper to taste
Peel and chop potatoes (not too small or else they well disintegrate), peel and slice carrots, chop onion finely, and place all ingredients in saucepan

Fry mince (in its own juices) and drain off fat.
Place mince on top of vegetables in saucepan, add black pepper and herbs and cover all ingredients with hot stock. Put pan on a medium-high heat. Bring to the boil, stirring ingredients well.

Reduce heat so ingredients are simmering.
Let stew simmer for approximately 1 hour, checking occasionally to make sure ingredients are just covered with stock (add more if necessary).

Madmum, the stew sounds really good!

Jodi, Crab Fries are a specialty at a restaurant in Philly called "Chickie & Pete's." They spice french fries with an Old Bay-spice-combo. I had them over the weekend at a baseball game (they have stadium concessions) and figured it wouldn't be too hard to make them at home.

Here's how I made them:

CRAB FRIES
Shoestring-style fries
1 TBL Olive Oil
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Oregano, ground
1/2 tsp Basil
1 tsp Salt
1 TBL Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 tsp Pepper, black

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450. Cover baking sheet with foil and brush with olive oil.
Mix all dry ingredients.
Spread fries on baking sheet. Drizzle with more olive oil.
Mix with potatoes to coat. (This was messy!)
Cook as directed on package.

(The spice measurements are all approximate.)

YUMMY! Thank you! I think I will do this on my chicken I was going to fry up for our big salads tonite. It should work on thin Chix strips, right???

Enjoy everyone!!! Thanks again Barbszy!
