Cottage Pie
When the rain appears, it’s time to run back home. That’s exactly what I did after visiting London at the weekend, on return to the flat I still had a nice amount of Sunday afternoon cooking time.
Time to bring out the casserole dish, and make some more traditional British comfort food.
I’m sure we’ve all had this as a kid, the tasty treat made by our parents. The trick is to make it nice and rich, with a lovely meaty depth.
For a portion good enough for 4 (or 2 greedy people) brown off a diced : onion, celery stick(x2) and a carrot in some lovely olive oil. Once done, just add in your mince meat (500g) bit my bit and let it brown off. [If easier, feel free to remove the veg to make this easier.] Continue Reading
Toad In The Hole
Ever get those days where you just want something quick to eat, not too much prep, and as long as you can watch the clock (aka time by TV breaks) you end up with a pretty good dish.
It was all about the sausage, like the taster with the lamb chops I kept it simple as I wanted to see what they tasted like with not much fuss made over them.
The result was rather delicious; for those unfamiliar with such a great british classic it is simply loose batter mix, with meaty yorkshire pork sausages . I served it up with a nice onion gravy.
I don’t think it warrants further description!
Yorkshire Lamb Chops
Now, to start us off, let’s just think about where did the lamb chops come from (well an animal, I’m assuming a lamb). Though it was from no supermarket, instead after much research and looking around online I found myself a ‘meat dealer’; well more like an online farmers market.
Thanks to the folks at Paganum, I received a rather big delivery yesterday. Full of scrumpious goodies, and weighing what felt like a ton. My fridge is stocked up with:
Pork Sausages (Lots)
Bacon(Nice and thick slices)
Stewing Meat
Lamb Chops (2 down, many more to go)
Burgers(8)
Rib Eye Steaks (4)
Mince (2X500g) Continue Reading
