I didn't really know what they were, just remember the song about Billy Boy. I love those geordie songs. Here's a vegetarian recipe for a main course: Lentil Bake. 1 red pepper, seeded and sliced 1 green pepper, seeded and sliced 2 small courgettes, sliced 1 onion sliced   6 oz red lentils 1 pint stock made from a veg stock cube, 1 tbsp tomato puree, hot water and optional red wine. In a large casserole heat 2 tbsp olive oil and fry the veg on both sides quickly until golden. Add lentils and stock, cover and bake in a medium oven about 30 mins., until all stock is absorbed. You can use other veg eg tomatoes, aubergines etc. I think this is easy to make, don't know how to colour code.      Report

Add onions and garlic and cook for 3 minutes or until softened. 2.        Stir in peppers and add tomatoes, breaking up with back of spoon. Add stock, thyme, oregano and cayenne; bring to boil. 3.        Stir in rice and cover, reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. 4.        Meanwhile, in a saucepan of boiling water, cook prawns for 3 minutes and drain. Peel and de-vein if necessary. Add prawns to rice mixture and cook for 5 minutes or until prawns are hot. Stir in parsley. I make this differently each time, depending on what I’ve got to hand) (eg, with chicken or turkey breasts, with prawns or mixed frozen seafood, with chilli flakes + Harisa paste) and it’s always gone down really well, very tasty.  You can make it as hot as you like.   Cat's motto: "No matter what you've done wrong, always try to make it look like the dog did it." - Unknown    Report
