It’s been a few weeks since I’ve managed to get it together enough to write a menu plan. Well, most of a menu plan!
M: Chocolate chilli, sweet potato fries and sauteed Brussels sprouts
T: Pad Thai, Asian cucumber salad on the side
W: Moroccan meatballs, cauliflower pilaf
T: Chicken risotto (with some roasted chunks of butternut squash tossed in as it (a) needs to be used up and (b) I am apparently out of frozen peas and I refuse to go back to the shops again!!)
F: Leftover (and much improved by a day or two in the fridge) Moroccan meatballs, cauliflower pilaf
I haven’t thought much about food for the Easter weekend. I did spot some large lumps of lamb in the freezer but I haven’t the faintest clue what cuts they are, so I might slow-roast the biggest lump with loads of garlic and rosemary for Sunday. I guess it depends on whether we’re descending upon the in-laws or not! If we are… I am baking a paleo chocolate cake!! I miss baking and it’s so much safer for me to bake when I have a willing horde of locusts to polish everything off for me.
Mmmm chocolate chilli sounds lovely!
Would love to see the recipe for the Moroccan meatballs. All sounds delicious.

I use ras el hamout instead of the paprika/cumin blend and occasionally toss a chopped date into the sauce for a sweeter flavour.
