Budget Meat Packs

These offers are not avaiable all the time. But when they are Freezers are good!

Morroson's Foss Islands Way York :- As collected...

Clearly as we don't eat a vast amount of meat ( We can't really afford to )  This is going to be serveral days worth. Maybe a week?

So broken down and it is destined to the freezer. so it looked like this:-

5 meal portions for £2 each - I guess! Let's have a bit of fun. What have we done with this in the past?!

Well what could / can we do with it?

(1) Cassarole Beef joints for 2/3 (Just swap out the Turkey for your Beef Joint.)

(2) Pasta Bolognese is idea for the minced Beef.

(3)  Pasties are an option for the cubed Beef.

(4) Chinese Fried Crispy Pork? (Sounds good to me!) 

(5) Then go a bit odd with Pork & Chorizo stir fry with the other chops!

All the other ingredients are really very cheap. But if we can get 5 days out of a meat pack at £10 to feed us and Buster, you're not doomed!

Calamari Risotto Style recipe

The Squid rings were part of a 3 for £5 deal, so cost us £1.67 for the pack. So Sue cobbled this recipe together with ingredients we had in.

Ingredients:-

Squid rings
2 Small Onions diced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tsp of Oregano
1 Cup of Rice
1 ½ Cup of Fish Stock
Dried Parsley & Basil

1 Tsp of Cayenne Pepper
A Glug of Fish Sauce
Frozen Peas
A Glug of Soy Sauce
1 Tsp of Ginger, minced
1 Tsp of Brown Sugar
Fresh Parsley
Salt & Pepper
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Gently fry the Squid rings for 3 minutes turning regularly.
(2) Season with Salt & Pepper.
(3) Remove from the pan and set aside, reserving the cooking juices.
(4) Add a little extra Oil to the pan and fry the Onion until translucent.
(5) Rinse the Rice in cold water and drain.
(6) Add to the Onions and stir for a few minutes.
(7) Add the reserved Squid juices and Fish Stock.
(8) Heat until simmering.
(9) Add the Garlic, Oregano, Basil, Cayenne Pepper, Soy Sauce, Ginger and Brown Sugar.
(10) Keep stirring gently until the liquid is absorbed.
(11) Add more water if required until the Rice is tender and a little sticky.

This was remarkably tasty and the Squid was really tender.
