a total lazy arse.
Here's my brownie recipe..



I'll post the cottage pie one tommorow.

Cottage Pie

I’m making this up, as I do it with my eyes closed at this stage. There’s probably far fancier recipes round these boards for it, just so you know.

2lbs roundsteak mince
Large onion
Few carrots
Red pepper
Mushrooms
Spuds (lowids) like 8 decent sized ones – this feeds millions.
Lea Perrins - tblspoon
Balsamic Vinegar - tblspoon
Paprika
Glug of red wine
Beef stock cube
Decent red cheddar

Season the mince with S&P and the paprika. The dry fry the mince and get rid of some of the fat. Boil your carrots in another pot and add a small bit of onion to this pot. Separately fry the onion and red pepper for a few mins and add to the mince. Add everything else to the mince (including your carrots and the water they’ve cooked in) now and leave it cook for about 15 mins or so. If it’s too thin add a spoonful of cornflour to 2 tblspoons of cold water and this’ll thicken it up. Roughly break your mushrooms into the pot and they’ll cook in 5 mins.
Oh, your spuds need to go on at the start to boil slowly, mash them and add salt, white pepper and REAL BUTTER, none of that lowlow ****e.
Transfer your mince mix into a pyrex dish and cover with the mash. Brown under the grill till it’s nice and crispy, then add your cheese (I use too much, it’s like molten lava) and grill again until its capable of ruining your oven when it drips off the side – you haven’t used enough cheese if it dosen’t drip.

Serve with the lovely bottle of red that you had to open for the dish.

If you are on a diet healthy eating buzz don’t cook this.

Ha!
Perfect..

Good timing too with the post..
And just to add, the brownies in the pic are a double batch, which is why there’s heaps.

Forgot to take a pic but last night had a firm favourite meal that we hadn't had in ages:

Grilled hake, mango salsa (onion, spring onion, mango, cherry tomato, red pepper, garlic, chilli, lime juice, fresh coriander, salt, sugar) and white rice. That's it, so simple and easy but soo tasty.
We had some Dunbrody smoked salmon with ryvita to start and a selection of cheese to finish. Bottle of dry riesling to wash it all down.

The other night: chicken, savoy cabbage with bacon and beans, crusty baguette



Today: lamb chops with Indian flavours, curry sauce, poppadoms, raita, rice with lentils and peas



Dessert: Blueberry-Coconut-Pudding
