Tonight I cooked..........

[vinniethemanxcat]

Today's effort is Corned Beef Pie.

Both sons are away, so it's try something new Sunday.

Do you think you could eat a whole one ?

By the time I've added the spuds, onions, carrots and pastry, mine are the size of a breeze block........ feed 6 or more.

His Secret France book is one of the few that I refer to more than others.

I re-bought Floyd on France a couple of days ago in Andover.
£1.50 in a Charity Shop, Bargain ! made my day it did.

Bouillabaisse p.18-19 will try it v.soon

Husband managed a 1/4 by himself. He's a piglet in the making.

I'll take some for lunch on Tuesday.

It OFGEM - but you are right. They have been utterly useless for the last 20 years and I can say that because I used to work with them.

Fair play,with the spelling, I need to get another set of readers, 50 mil grouping, at the moment I couldn't hit a barn door with a 94.

Went shop this am and bought pork fillet. Did that with roast spudders, shop bought yorkies and veg.
Mrs R off the steroids, so no appetite. She had some of everything and enjoyed making the gravy.
Veg into bubble and squeak.
Pork into something vaguely Chinese. Possibly.
No phots as didn’t think.

Took the opportunity to BBQ some bread rolls. Yes, you read that right. I win

On the table with BBQ corn, twice-baked potatoes, store-bought chicken and sausage bites (fkn losers) and a glass of vino.

Loving that meringue, only my mams can beat that, every time I have tried I burn it.

My family have always done it this way..... the gravy is to die for.

Take the chunked up potatoes, finely sliced onion and carrot, add to about a pint of water in a large saucepan, and boil for about 7- 8 minutes, then stir through the corned beef for a couple of minutes, then drain, keeping all the liquid seperate.

Make the pie as normal, my favourite gravy is the old- fashioned powder Bisto in the brown box, make the gravy up to about a pint or a little more, nicely thick, with green veg or best of all, mushy peas on the side.

To be fare I think it’s worth at least checking this definition from the world renowned Cambridge dic.

Vietnamese pea soup and BBQ bread:

 

[Tool]

I always finish it off by shoving the runny topped (but golden brown base) effort in the nuke machine on a plate for a minute or so to firm up the bumnuggets.

Boiling spuds a good call. I'll try it with skins on and sliced with a razor sharp cleaver to avoid partially mashed murphy. Chuck on top of onions while they fry, mix up a bit then add the egg.

ETA: A pinch of ground cumin over the potatoes before the egg goes in gives it a nice lift.

Don't worry about mashing the unpeeled potatoes - the crispy skin adds flavour. Also sling a bit of paprika (preferrably hot, but smoked will do) instead of the cumin on them.

Don't want them mashed. Thin slices for Spanish tortilla con batatas. I like the bite of cumin but the smoked paprika might do the job. It does tend to be a bit sweet though.

Cumin goes well with spuds.

I agree with the thin slices. Just saying that if you slice them but the peel is a bit random, it can add flavour as it crisps. As for cumin - too much and I am reminded of my son's dirty socks.

Try the Rosti in packets in Home Bargains, about 80p ..... add to a little oil in a frying pan, gently chivvy about until crisped up, then add some whisked egg, as suggested, or just divide into 2 portions and add a fried egg on top, plus bacon sausage etc.
