Heart shaped Cottage Pies

Heart shaped Cottage Pies

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.

Dulse Aloo

OK - OK probably not in the slightest bit authentic, but do we care? No. This is a sort of Sag Aloo with the Spinach replaced by dried and rehydrated Dulse (Seaweed).

Ingredients:-
Ingredients:-
1 Small hot Chilli deseeded and cut into disks
4 New Potatoes, pealed and quartered
Dried Dulse, rehydrated in a little water
Smoked Paprika
Tomato Puree
Oil

Method:-

(1) Boil the Potatoes for about 6 minutes until they are just starting to soften but not too soft.
(2) Drain and set aside.
(3) Add Oil to a pan and fry the Chillies for a few minutes over a moderate heat.
(4) Turn the heat down and add a little water to the pan.
(5) Add the Paprika and Tomato Puree and simmer for a couple of minutes so everything is mixed.
(6) Add the Potatoes and stir gently so they are coated in the Chilli Oil to colour them slightly.
(7) Add the drained Dulse and stir everything. The Dulse will absorb the remaining liquid.

We served this as a side with a Chicken Balti over Turmeric Rice.
