Cottage Pie and stir fried Veg

Cottage Pie and stir fried Veg

After yesterday’s Cottage Pie-Pie we had a good amount of Cottage Pie filling left, but no “Cottage” on it. Mashed Spud as most would call it….

So the second meal out of a 500g pack of mince from the reductions fridge at £2 with some mashed Potatoes and grated Cheese over the top made a pretty good Cottage Pie. A bit of stir fried Veg and we’re all fuelled up!

Cottage Pie is a regular gig here if we have a bit of mince. Our general recipe is here, but play with it and be inventive. Just don’t slice Kiwi fruit over the top!

Asian Pork Chops

Yellow Sticker Pork Chops got the 'Asian recipe' treatment last night!

Ingredients:-

Pork Chops

Marinade Ingredients:-

60ml of Soy Sauce
¼ Tsp of ground White Pepper
1 Tsp of Toasted Sesame Oil
1 Tbsp of Cornflour
½ Tsp of Five Spice
1 Tsp of Shaoxing Wine
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tsp of Fresh Ginger, minced
½ a Tbsp of Brown Sugar
Oil to fry
Pak Choi, halved lengthways
Long grain Rice

Method:-

(1) Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and add the Pork Chops.
(2) Marinade for 30 minutes.
(3) In a large frying pan add the Oil and then sear the Chops with the marinade on both sides. Don’t over cook them as the have very little fat and can become quite tough.
(4) Boil and drain your rice and set aside.
(5) Remove the Chops and place under the grill on a very low heat to keep warm.
(6) Place the Pak Choi in the pan with the remaining marinade and cooking juices, cut side down and fry until slightly browns.
(7) Run boiling water through your Rice and then plate the Pak Choi, Chops and Rice.
(8) Pour the remaining cooked marinade over your chops.

The Chops were £1.79 for 4 and the only other ingredient we needed to but (because we’re experimenting with Asian recipes) were the Pak Choi. So well under budget and really tasty!
