Make my supper bit…

[rude-boy]

okay here’s the score. I have some nice rare beef Wellington sitting in my fridge for tea tonight which was cooked up on Monday.

What should I accompany it with? I can’t decide between having it hot or cold and what to put with it so thought I’d let you lot give me some inspiration.

I haven’t got hours to do anything to go with it (have to sort out the packing/tent etc for the Britcar24 tonight) so less than 30mins from prep to plate.

Do your worst.

Hot with mashed tato. Job done.

[Swilly]

Boiled/steamed asparagus, broccoli and some mash

[tegwin]

[JVaughan]

What is this heathen talk you make sir?

This is made from the finest beef fillet from the best butcher in Suffolk!

Thank you all for your help in moving my mind from it's malaise.

I think it will be warm, with a fresh rocket salad with a strawberry vinaigrette (home made) and minted new potatoes (but only as I'm thinking of the time saving over mash

Well it might be a little bit odd but I’m willing to go there with the mixture of the mint and the beef.

I should perhaps of mentioned that it is Jamie Oliver’s spin on Beef Wellington so it is wrapped in finely chopped porcini mushrooms and parma ham. It was divine on Monday and only survived until tonight due to us eating out last night.

As for the gheyness it was made by the g/f, does that help?

30mins prep to plate? You'll have to whack it in the oven for 30mins just to heat it up properly!

I'd do mash with it; a better combo than new potatoes IMO. Spinach and Sweetcorn are in season...

OOh, OOh!!

Quick fried greens, touch of cherry balsamic and sweetcorn. Sweeeeeeeeeeeet

[bigTee]

cover it in gravy and whack it between two slices of crusty bread and have with a bottle of real ale.


simple.

[james_tigerwoods]

Some fresh, boiled "pink fir apple" potatoes with a little butter.

Done

[brum]

Lightly steam some Savoy cabbage, then whack it in a pan with a big nob of butter and four anchovy fillets, anchovy will disolve into the butter giving you a gorgeous salty marinade. Absolutely fabulous.

Is that accompanied by you clapping your hands together quickly and jumping up and down on the spot repeatedly?

In the interests of trying not to be too ghey - NO IT BLOODY WELL WASN'T

Discoverd a liking for greens fried in a wok with a knob of butter and some balsamic last year, had always avoided them before.

It's great when you start to think properly about food!
