Oh man…do you not know thw wonders of slow/braise cooking?
This was absolutely essential when the kids were little and I was working a lot. I usually had a sunday off and my wife and kids were running errands and such I would throw something like this together and go watch ('merican) football or play video games, and when they came home “tah daah” dinner is ready!
“oh you poor dear, your only day off and you’re cooking!” got me a lot of brownie points.
Here is a tip though if the thought of this is intimidating because of the time: most of it is just sitting in the oven so I would get it prepared at the same time as cooking tonights dinner, then all you have to do is throw it in the oven the next day.
That looks good. If you don’t have a mandoline, it makes it a bit harder but you can use potato gems instead. The kids would love that. Definitely a weekend meal.
As for tonight, whenever I can’t decide, I give that decision to another fam member or it’s jaffles.
I’ve got a mandoline slicer and any excuse to use it is welcome.
I ended up going to a backup frozen meal, chicken and veg pie from Dinner Ladies, they’re bloody expensive, but worth every cent having a couple in the freezer.
I did however buy everything we needed for that Aldi recipe, including the wine, so I’ll cook and drink that Saturday afternoon. 🤣
It’s pretty good, plenty of chicken and veg chunks and feeds 2 adults and 2 primary ages kids.
A wealthy relative gave close family members a $300 gift voucher during a lockdown and we’ve been hooked every since. They look expensive, but the quality is high and it’s cheaper than a couple good pizzas delivered.
The butter chicken is a HUGE favourite in our house and the veggie rice is a close second.
There’s a couple things that aren’t worth the money, cooked lamb shanks are cheaper at Aldi and there’s no difference in quality/flavour and we generally avoid stuff that needs more than an oven or microwave… Because what’s the point of lazy meal if you still have stand there cooking it.
Open to suggestions tonight!
I wanted to try this, but OVER THREE HOURS cook time, already too late and will save that for the weekend.

It looks like a great recipe, you should try it.
I’m a full time house hubby, wannabe be chef and SBS cooking channel tragic.
It’s not the length, or complexity, I just left it too late in the day to start a long cook and feed a couple monsters before they went full feral.
The beasts must be appeased!
Buddy I say that most nights…
It’s usually followed by I’m tired, maybe on the weekend. 🤣

Please take pics. I’d love to see it.
Whoa. That looks good and oozey!

The Dinner Ladies have some good recipes online too. Simple, no nonsense bullshit and tasty.
