Swineherd Pie recipe!

Swineherd Pie recipeYou've heard of Cottage Pie and Shepherds Pie? Well our take on it is Swineherd Pie, mainly because minced Pork is generally cheaper....
 
Ingredients:-
 
500g of minced Pork
2 large Onions, finely chopped
Soy Sauce (GF if required)
2 Carrots, finely chopped
Potatoes, boiled and mashed
Gravy Granules (Bisto Best are GF)
Cheese, grated to top
Vegetables of your choice
 
Method:-
 
(1) Heat a little oil in a large pan. Add the pork and fry to brown all over, stirring to break up any large chunks. Set aside.
(2) Add a splash more oil to the pan, Carrot and Onion and fry until the Onion is softened.
(3) Mix the Gravy Granules with boiling water to make sufficient to moisten the mince in a casserole dish.
(4) Preheat the oven to 180c.
(5) Add the mince to the Onions and Carrot and stir in the gravy and a good dash of Soy Sauce.
(6) Transfer to a large casserole dish and add the mashed Potato to the top to cover.
(7) Place the casserole in the oven uncovered for 30 minutes or until the Potato has a golden brown top.
(8) Sprinkle with grated Cheese and place back in the oven until the Cheese has melted and crisped a little.

Chinese Fake Away with Hazel Nuts as “Water Chestnuts”

There was a “Stir-Fry” pack in the Yellow Sticker fridge at the local Supermarket. As we’d frozen it we binned the vegetables and just used the Chicken. But at 92p who’s complaining? (Not us!)

Ingredients:-

250g of Sliced Chicken mini fillets
1 Onion, finely sliced
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
½ a Red Pepper, finely sliced
2 Spring Onions, chopped
4 Mushrooms, sliced
A handful of Bean Sprouts
Chopped Kale
Toasted Hazel Nuts ( Recipe Here )
Soy Sauce (Gluten free in out case)
Ginger powder
Cornflour
Salt & Pepper
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Marinade the Chicken in Soy Sauce, Cornflour, Salt & Pepper for 20 minutes.
(2) Fry the Chicken in a little Oil until tender bit not pink.
(3) Remove from the Wok or pan and set aside.
(4) Add the Onion, Garlic and Red Pepper with a splash of Soy Sauce & Ginger powder.
(5)  Fry on a high heat stirring as you go.
(6) Add the remaining ingredients – stir and fry until steaming hot but not wilted.

Serve over boiled Rice with Fries and Prawn Crackers for the most unconventional but typically English Chinese Fake-Away!
