PH Supermarket Dinner Challenge
Discussion
Let's challenge the "ding ding" dinner / "ready meal" society". You've had a long day at work. come home, and want to pop to a supermarket and buy some ingredients to quickly rustle up a decent meal for two.
Rules are - all ingrediants must be available at a mainstream supermarket, and the meal must take 30 min to cook from start to finish.
I think this is quite tough actually, but I think has the makings of a great recipe thread. My contribution below.
