There is nothing special about tonight’s meal or this post. I’ve been so busy I’ve not been able to find inspiration in anything I want to cook so when I went grocery shopping I picked up a steak and some salad stuff.

Pan-fried deboned chicken thigh

I’m really enjoying the extra effort to remove the femur from my chicken thighs. Sometimes I tie them up and use surgical knots, tonight though I just laid it flat and seasoned it with iodised salt, freshly ground black pepper, and some fresh thyme and rosemary.

Oven cooked pork rasher and salad

Thankfully it’s Friday. I had a couple of pork rashers in the refrigerator and some salad stuff.

Baked salmon and pork sausage with avocado salad

It’s Monday so that means salmon. Tonight it also meant a pork sausage too.

Baked salmon and salad

Another long day at work.

I’m glad I bought a couple of pieces of salmon this morning rather than my usual one for Monday night.

It made it easy to quickly cook dinner when I got home.

Ingredients

Salmon fillet
Balsamic glaze
Cos lettuce
Fennel
Red onion
Radish
Lime juice
Olive oil
Cherry tomatoes

Instructions

Shred the lettuce, red onion, fennel, and radish.
Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Mix the lime juice and olive oil to make a dressing.
Make the salad and put on a dinner plate.
Rub some Queensland nut oil over the salmon fillet and season with iodised salt.
Bake the salmon for 15 minutes at 200 °C.
After baking add some balsamic glaze.
Put the salmon on the dinner plate with the salad.
Serve and eat.

Got home late from work and made salmon and salad.

Leftover lamb salad

I had a really full day today and all I could manage was to make a really basic salad and add some lamb to it.

It tasted great but there’s nothing special here.

Deboned roast chicken thigh

Tonight I deboned a chicken thigh and rolled it around a baton of Spam plus some thyme and sage. I served it with a salad and some gravy.

Beef sausages and avocado salad

I had three thick beef sausages left from the packet I opened last night. I bought some mushrooms this afternoon on the way home from work.

Ingredients

Beef sausages
Mushrooms
Spring onions
Butter
Queensland nut oil
Avocado
Cos lettuce
Tomatoes
Olive oil
Lime juice
Cooking sherry
Cream

Instructions

Heat up a frypan.
Cook the snags with the lid on the frypan for about 15 minutes.
Remove the snags.
Squirt in some Queensland nut oil and add sliced mushrooms and chopped spring onions.
Sauté the mushrooms and spring onions until soft.
Add a small knob of butter and the snags into the frypan with the mushrooms and spring onions, put the lid on the frypan and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove the lid and the snags and add a splash of cooking sherry and cook off the alcohol.
Add a little cream, turn off the heat, and stir to make a simple mushroom sauce.
While the snags, mushrooms, and spring onions are in the frypan, shred some cos lettuce, halve some cherry tomatoes, remove the juice and zest from the lime and mix with some olive oil to make a salad and dressing.
Dice an avocado and toss the salad. Do not look up toss the salad in Urban Dictionary.
Put the snags on a dinner plate, pour over the mushroom sauce and put the salad on the spare space on the plate.
