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.

Cheese and Chilli Sausage Roll recipeThere are no hard and fast rules to Sausage Rolls, you could even make them with minced Beef and call them Australian Snag Rolls if you liked. But this was my attempt at Cheese and Chilli Sausage Rolls. (We used to make 80 to 120 of these a day when I working in the butchers shop and they always sold out by lunchtime!)
 
Ingredients:-
 
500g Pork mince
150g Grated Cheese
Chilli flakes
Salt to season
1 egg, battered to glaze
Pre rolls puff pasty
 
Method:-
 
(1) Mix the grated cheese, mince, salt and Chilli flakes in a bowl.
(2) Lay the pastry out and stuff with the meat mixture.
(3) Brush with battered egg.
(4) Cool on parchment in the oven at 180c for 30 minute or until the pasty is golden brown and the meat is cooled in the middle.
 
Enjoy!
