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!

Kudla Panji Kari recipe, eat well on universal credit

We're working through the Pork Leg I found in the yellow sticker fridge, butchered and froze. Pork recipes for Indian dishes aren't very common, but this really worked.

Ingredients:-

500g of Pork Thigh, cubed
1 Onion, sliced
4 Cloves of Garlic, sliced
1 Inch of Ginger, julienned
3 Green Chillies, slit in half
10 Peppercorns, crushed
3 Cloves
1 Cinnamon Stick
1 Cardamom Pod, crushed
1 Bay Leaf
2 Tbsp of White Vinegar
10 Dried Red chillies. Soaked for 15 minutes and drained
1 Tbsp of Coriander Seeds
½ a Tbsp of Poppy Seeds
1 Tbsp of Cumin Seeds
2 Tsp of Mustard Seeds
1 Tsp of Turmeric Powder
1 Tsp of Salt
1 Tin of Chopped Tomatoes
Fresh Coriander and Red Chilli to garnish

Method:-

(1) Grind together the Red Chillies, Coriander Seeds, Cumin Seeds, Mustard Seeds and Poppy Seeds.
(2) Add a little Water near the end and add the Vingar to form a paste. Set aside.
(3) In a Dutch Oven or flame proof Casserole dish add the remaining ingredients, excluding to chopped Tomatoes.
(4) Add the Masala Paste and mix gently.
(5) Place over a low heat and cover.
(6) Simmer for 2 hours or until the Pork is tender.
(7) Add the Tomatoes, stir and simmer for a further 20 minutes.
(8) Garnish with fresh Coriander and Chillies.

We service ours with Turmeric coloured mixed Rice. This was a really rich Curry with a relatively dry sauce.
