Now that does sound delicious!!! (aside from prawns which I'd omit :) )

If you are scared / paranoid of killing people with undercooked meat is suggest a food thermometer. Couple of pound / dollars!

Welcome to DC! As a fellow newbie you couldn't be in a better place :)

That's why my other half balked when I mentioned it then :lol: :D

Adding seeds is appealing too as things like pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds are really good for you too! Goes with the whole lumping veg in sneakily to stay healthy :)

I like hot food! So I'm all good :) I really don't like onions BUT I don't like a lot of veg so this is a cheeky way of adding them in without actually eating them if you know what I mean?! Also the other half really likes them so I'm keeping the people happy whilst upping the veg count for...

Just had my first test run and it seems to have gone down pretty well!! Rice with Knor stock (plus all the other crap they throw in lol) Chicken left overs from yesterday pan fried (with 1 cal type spray) with chopped up leek, onions (can only describe them as crushed) and green beans. Threw on...

I'm with you! I like the idea of adding my own later on as I can vary the heat of the dish much easier that way! And a less salty dish also appeals as I'm not the biggest fan (unlike my mum lol) I will pick these things up quite quickly it seems by hanging out at cafe DC :D

By the sounds of it by using the stock I'm adding anything but chicken lol What is the workings of the stock you use?! Sounds healthier than mine!! If it doesn't add much flavour then is there another reason for using it? EDIT: took a better photo (i hope)
