A hearty Casserole

A hearty Casserole, eat well on universal credit

We had some Casserole stock in the freezer from a previous meal and also some giant Yorkshire Pudding. Waste not Want not etc! This is an ideal slow cooker dish, but it will work just as well in a covered casserole dish in the oven on a low heat.
 
Ingredients-
 
Casserole gravy
A Handful of Kale
1 Onion, sliced
1 Stick of Celery, chopped
¼ or a Celeriac, chopped
1 Carrot, chopped
3 small Potatoes, cubed
Handful of Baby Sweetcorn,chopped
5 Mushrooms, chopped
2 cooked sausages, sliced
400g Kidney, chopped and coated in seasoned flour
Red and Green Lentils
Mixed dried Beans & Peas
 
Seasoning-
 
Salt & Pepper
Onion Salt
Garlic Salt
Paprika
Mixed Herbs
Dried Rosemary
Chilli Flakes
 
Method-
 
(1) Soak the Lentils, Beans and Peas in salted water with 1tsp of Bicarbonate of Soda and a little Cider / White Wine vinegar to release the starch.
(2)  In a large pot add the Onion, Celery, Carrot, Potatoes, Celeriac, Sweetcorn to enough water to cover. Add the seasonings and simmer for 20 minutes.
(3) Add the Casserole gravy, stir to combine and cook on a low heat.
(4) In a frying pan cook the Kidney in a little oil until the oil has absorbs the flour.
(5) Add to the casserole and stir in.
(6) Transfer everything to a casserole dish or Slow Cooker.
(7) Drain the Lentils, Beans and Peas and rinse. Add to the casserole.
(8) Cook for a further 20 minutes.
(9) Finally add the Mushrooms and Sausage and cook until the Mushrooms have softened and combined into the casserole.
 
We served ours with blanched Kale on Yorkshire Pudding. Although we enjoy a bit of meat in our meals this casserole with all the legumes in it would have worked perfectly well without.

A sort of Carbonara thing, eat well on universal credit

We’re avoiding Lactose at the moment as it’s causing Sue issues. So this recipe is far from traditional. But it was really tasty.

Ingredients:-

475g of Inner Breast fillets, cut in half
1 Small Onion,diced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
200ml of Chicken Stock
3 Tbsp of Yogurt
5 Mushrooms, sliced
A handfull of Spinach Leaves
A dish of White Wine
Salt & Pepper
2 Tbsp of Italian style Crated Hard Cheese
Fresh Parsley to garnish
Bacon & Cheese seasoning to garnish
Pasta of your choice (Gluten free for us)
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Fry the Onion and Garlic until softened.
(2) Add the Chicken and fry until it is cooked through, stirring as required.
(3) Add the Mushrooms and Spinach, season with Salt & Pepper.
(4) Boil the Pasta until it still has a little bite, drain and set aside.
(5) Add the Wine & Stock and allow to simmer.
(6) Stir in the Yogurt and half of the grated hard Cheese.
(7) Allow to simmer for a few more minutes.
(8) Stir in the Pasta over a low heat, until it is heated through.
(9) Garnish with the remaining grated hard Cheese, Parsley and Cheese & Bacon Seasoning.

We generally make our own seasoning mixes but the Cheese & Bacon seasoning was really good. The taste of Bacon in a jar!
