Sausage Lattice Pie

Sausage Lattice Pie

There's a tale behind this. no Sausages were harmed in the creation of this dish. We had a visitor over Christmas who raided the local Continental Shop and bought various items, some of which were a mystery. The E252 (Potassium nitrate) in the smallest possible print on the ingredients label might have been a give-away if any of us had been able to read it without a microscope. This raw mince was described as Spiced Minced Pork. It was actually spicy raw Sausage meat! So when Sue set about making a Bolognaise sauce with it, it soon because clear that we needed to change tack….. 

Ingredients:-

500g of Sausage meat
1 Large Onion, chopped
2 cloves of Garlic, minced
Mixed Herbs
Dried Basil
Dried Oregano
Salt & Pepper
Puff Pastry (Gluten free for us)
A beaten Egg and Milk for an Egg wash
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Fry the Onion and Garlic until translucent.
(2) Add the Sausage meat and herbs and fry on a low heat until cooked through.
(3) Season to taste.
(4) Set aside to cool.
(5) Line an oven tray with Pastry.
(6) Add the cooked Meat and press flat with a spoon.
(7) Cut the remaining Pastry into strips and form a lattice over your Meat.
(8) Brush with the Egg wash. (We sprinkle on some ground roasted Pumpkin seeds for a bit of colour)
(9) Cook in the oven at 180c for 45 minutes.

We didn’t actually eat this monster portion, we’ll be snacking on the remaining half today. At £1.99 for 500g the Sausage meat was actually about half the price of the supermarket equivalent.

Portuguese Prego Rollo recipe, eat well on universal credit

That’s 2 x £2.49 Rump Steaks from B&M given a really good beating and seasoned! Although they are supposedly 21 day aged, we’ve found them to be very variable in the past. Sometimes cut alone the grain of the meat and sometimes banded with what I used to call ‘Trim’ in the butchers, gristle! But on this occasion we struck gold!

Ingredients:-

2 Rump Steaks. Cut into two, trimmed and hammered with a meat hammer
2 Tsp of Peri-Peri seasoning Rub
3 Tbsp of Tomato Puree
1 Lemon, juiced
2 Tbsp of White Wine Vinegar
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
1 Tsp of Sugar
1 Tsp of Salt
1 Bay Leaf
4 Bread Rolls (Gluten free for us)
1 Large Tomato, sliced
1 Red Chilli, finely chopped
3 Tbsp of Margarine
4 Tsp of Chilli Chutney (Sue’s creation)
4 Tsp of Mayonnaise
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) That you frustration out of the Steak. Beat it to death with a meat hammer!
(2) Cut into suitable sized pieces to fit in your bun.
(3) Rub the Steak with a little Oil on all sides and then rub with the Peri-Peri seasoning Rub.
(4) Make up the marinade with the Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, Sugar, Salt, Garlic, Tomato Puree, Bay Leaf and White Wine Vinegar.
(5) Pour over the Steak and place in the fridge, covered, for 2 hours.
(6) Remove the Bat Leaf.
(7) Heat Oil in a frying pan to a high heat and flash fry the Steak for 2 minutes on each side. Ours was still rare in the middle.
(8) Remove and allow to rest.
(9) Toast the buns lightly on the cut sides.
(10) Combine the Margarine and chopped Chilli, spreading over the toasted buns.
(11) Return to the grill cut side up so the the Margarine melts into the Buns.
(12) Assemble the ‘Burger’ with Mayonnaise, Steak, Red Onions, Tomato slices and Chilli Chutney.

We simply served ours with hand cut chips. This flavour combination really packs a punch! Enjoy….
