We only had about 250g of minced Beef left from the Brunch Burgers we made as a bit of a joke on Friday. But that’s not an issue. We fished the heart shaped pie formers out of the draw and made mini Cottage Pies.
As a side we had the very red looking Red Cabbage. We’ve discovered that we actually prefer it as a veg just acidified with a bit of Vinegar and sprinkled with Salt and Pepper, but not boiled. The crunch and acidity work really well with mince dishes which otherwise have a very soft texture.
Served with Carrot, peas and lashings of gravy (Added after I tokk the picture) this was a hearty (Pun intended) meal.

There was a one day special on Pork at the local supermarket yesterday. Suffice it to say Pork will be our meat of choice for the next few days! These leg steaks cost us the extortionate price of £0.94 so Sue reinvented our take on Pork Parmo.
Served with hand cut chips, Peas and homemade Coleslaw, this was a really tasty and quick meal. We used some remaining braising stock from the Lamb Neck we had in the fridge. Which was very rich and tasty.
