Favourite food and how I use it
This prompt from Long and Short Reviews was a tough one. I never cook and don't use recipes. However, I suddenly remembered one thing I do cook which involves one of my favourite foods - cottage pie, topped with mashed potato. My mother had a recipe for cottage pie which I still follow and it always turns out perfectly.
I won't bother with serving sizes as those always varied according to the dish we were using. :)
Take one pack of beef mince and fry until brown. Put in the pie dish.Chop three red onions and four carrots. Add to the dish.Open a tin of beans and add those to the dish. We used to use flageolet beans but my husband prefers baked beans, which add a slight tomato flavour to the gravy.Make a cup of Bisto gravy flavoured with Bovril and add to the dish.Boil the potatoes and mash to your preferred consistency using milk and butter.Top the meat with the potatoes. Add butter to the top and ruffle the top with a fork so it will crisp in the oven.Heat the oven to 200C and cook for 25-30 minutes.And now I want cottage pie.
So what are your favourite foods?
