Lazanki with Mushrooms & Minced Beef

Lazanki with Mushrooms & Minced Beef recipe, eat well on universal credit

We’re still working our way through the 59p 500g of Sauerkraut from the local Continental shop and this certainly was a good way of using some of it!

Ingredients:-

500g of Minced Beef
1 Onion, diced
100g of Mushrooms, sliced
½ a Small Cabbage, shredded
½ Tbsp of Fennel / Caraway Seeds
100g of drained Sauerkraut
1 Bay Leaf
1 Tsp of Dried Thyme
½ Tsp of Dried Oregano
½ Tsp of Paprika
½ Tsp of Salt
¼ Tsp of Black Pepper
100g of Soup Cream
½ a Pack of Thick Rice Noodles
5 Tbsp of Margarine
Oil to fry
Fresh Parsley to garnish

Method:-

(1) In a large frying pan heat a little Oil and 3 Tbsp of Margarine.
(2) Fry the Mushrooms until softened.
(3) Remove and set aside.
(4) Add a little more Oil and the remaining 2 Tbsp of Margarine and fry the minced Beef until browned.
(5) Remove and set aside with the Mushrooms.
(6) Add the Onions and fry until softened.
(7) Add in the Cabbage, Fennel Seeds and cook until the Cabbage has softened.
(8) Return the Beef and Mushrooms and season with Salt & Pepper.
(9) Stir in the Oregano, Paprika, Thyme and Bay Leaf and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
(10) Stir in the Sauerkraut and 50ml of Sour Cream and allow to simmer for a further 10 minutes.
(11) Cook the Noodles according to the packet instructions and drain.
(12) Serve the Lazanki over the Noodles and garnish with the remaining Soup Cream and Parsley.  Remember to find and remove the Bay Leaf!

We really enjoyed this recipe. But next time we might reduce the amount of Oil / Margarine as we found it a little greasy for our taste.

Indian Style Mushroom Stiffing Balls

This is going to sound very odd. But experiments sometimes work!

I found some Shaggy Ink Caps in the communal area near the flat. Although they are really good eating they degrade quickly and really don’t store well. So they need eating the day you pick them realistically. We also had an opened pack of Bombay Mix which had gone a bit soggy. Not a great ingredients list so far?!

Ingredients:-

Soggy Bombay Mix!
4 large Shaggy Ink Caps
Water - If required

Method:-

(1) In a food processor blitz the Bombay mix.
(2) Add the Ink Caps and blitz everything. The mushrooms contain a good deal of water so you will end up with something which is reasonably wet.
(3) If needed add a little more water to make the dough manageable.
(4) Form into balls and pop in the oven for the last 20 minutes with your roast.

There is an old wives tale that you shouldn’t eat Shaggy Ink Caps and drink Alcohol. It is just that – An old wives tale. They are a very good “Beginners Mushroom” for foraging as there is nothing similar looking which will do you any harm.
