I am doing oven roasted salmon, mussels sauteed in prawn and vermouth butter, served on a bed of samphire.

For those of you struggling to source samphire, I have just picked it up from Tesco's fish counter at £10 per kilo.

What's cooking at your's?

I'm trying to run the fridge down before we go on holiday so tonight is tagliatelle verde with a creamy leek & bacon sauce with tarragon.

Yours does sound lush NoM.
I have bacon and tarragon. Please share eccles :-)
"What's For Tea" is running in the 5.40 @ Fontwell - put your dinner money on it.
Something with left-overs I think. Got some chicken. Any yummy recipies?
Chicken rissotto (or however you spell it) or chicken in a sauce with roast spuds.

We're having beef stroganoff.
The first sentence was supposed to be a suggestion for Cupid. :-D
Assuming you're after the recipe Ummm and not my supper (which aint gonna happen!) here you are....

Fry sliced streaky smoked bacon in olive until beginning to brown and crisp.

Add sliced leeks and fry for a couple minutes, season with black pepper add a good glug of sherry and bung a lid on. Steam until leeks are just tender but still have some bite.

Take off lid and add some cream bring to a simmer and add chopped tarragon, check seasoning and serve.

If you've got half a pot of philly, ricotta or whatever you can add that and adjust the amount of cream. A small handful of finely grated parmesan gives a bit more depth to the flavour. If you want a low fat option creme fraiche can be used but be very careful when simmering as it can easily split.
Perfect Eccles...thanks.

That sounds lovely, Eccles.

Alba, beef strog is one of my favourite dishes :)

Traci, have you tried roasted cod loins wrapped in Parma Ham?

Tinks ... Brown sauce on roasties? Nooooooo...

Kiki...lol

Cupid...maybe make homemade kievs?
We have fresh salmon which I like to do in the microwave....nice thick pieces of fillet brushed with oil or Mayonaise and with salt and black pepper and maybe a slice of lemon ''cover and cook for just 3 or four minutes 'till lovely and flakey and still moist"....for a quick meal with a pot of M and S layered veg or new pots and two or three green veg for a bigger dish....either way quick and easy which is the only way I know how to cook...

A bottle of Pinot noir.....goes without saying Heh heh!
Ummm; and anyone else who likes the look of creamy leek & bacon pasta.

Now I've started cooking it I realise I sometimes add a smidge of garlic, and a bit of Dijon mustard and chilli sauce to cut through the richness of the cream.
