Pork with Madeira

Menu - Pork with Madeira, sweet potato and spinach.

This was another yummy dish. It's adapted from a Gordon Ramsay dish. His recipe called for duck, but unfortunately we could not find fresh duck. Here's where the recipe came from: http://www.channel4.com/food/recipes/chefs/gordon-ramsay/gressingham-duck-with-madeira-sauce-recipe_p_1.html

Dessert - warm berry samosas with mascarpone cheese

Tikka Masala

Tonight Dave decided to make a quick dinner. Of course, "quick dinner" with Dave is still about 40 minutes and does Not involve the microwave.

Today's meal:

Tikka Masala served with basmati rice. (He also added some spices to the rice).

Recipe adapted from Gordon Ramsay (http://www.channel4.com/food/on-tv/cookalong-live/cookalong-live-the-series/week-6/how-to-make-tikka-masala_p_1.html)

The photo is of the vegetarian dish he made for me.
