RECIPES

Thought I'd add some of my favourites as I think of them


Fishcakes
=======

mashed potato
cooked flaked smoked haddock
1 tsp fresh parsley finely chopped
1/2 tsp chilli (optional)
1 knorr vegetable stock pot
precooked cous cous
beaten egg

mix the mash (I mashed with the knorr stock cube no butter), flaked fish, parsley, and chilli, together

coat with beaten egg

roll in the precooked cous cous

bake on 180c for around 20 mins until warmed through




Chips
=====

Chip potatoes (I leave skins on)
put 1 desertspoon of olive oil into a roasting tin
crumble one knorr chicken stock cube into the tin

Toss the chipped potatoes in this mix to coat them. Bake on 200c for around 10 mins, take out and recoat them with the mix which by now has melted a little

Put back in the oven for around 20 mins until cooked

even my kids eat these :) These are my favourite comfort food with a sweet and sour mugshot poured over the top :)  you can make wedges, and roast potatoes the same way :) or even little diced potatoes. The olive oil can be replaced with frylight and works just as well

extra lean mince
1 red onion diced
1 green pepper diced
1 red pepper diced
2 carrots diced
chilli powder to taste
1 crushed garlic clove

Simmer and serve
