Stuffed Aubergine - (Egg plant if you’ve STILL not elected a President!)

Stuffed Aubergine


We had a small box of minced Beef in the freezer from a previous recipe. So with this thawed and the addition of an Aubergine each and some Chilli Cheese slices we came up with this.

Ingredients:-

250g Minced Beef
1 Tin of Kidney Beans
1 Onion sliced
2 Cloves of Garlic grated
1 tin of chopped Tomatoes
½ a tube of Tomato Purée
2 teaspoons of Chilli powder
2 whole Chillies chopped ( Deseed if you prefer it mild )
Oil
Salt and Pepper
 
Method:-
 
(1) Cut the Aubergine in half length ways and hollow out. Leaving some flesh inside the shell.
(2) Fry the Onions, Garlic and Chilli powder and add Salt & Pepper to taste.
(3) Add the Aubergine flesh, Kidney Beans, Minced Beef and tin of Tomatoes then allow to simmer.
(4) Add the Tomato Purée.
(5) Add the Chillies.
(6) Simmer on a low heat.
(7) Lightly Oil the Aubergine casings and pop them in the oven at 180c on a try.
(8) When the Chilli has reduced and your Aubergine cases have roast bun at still firm enough to hold a filling, spoon the Chilli into the cases.
(9) Add a layer of Chilli Cheese and place under the grill to melt the Cheese.
(10) Garnish with a little fresh Parsley for colour.

We served ours with herbed new Potatoes and a little salad. Even Smooh the cat enjoyed a little Chilli!

Pork Cherry sauce & Tray Roasted Veg

It’s Prunus season. That’s Cherries first and then Plums for those who can’t be bothered with Latin names! Boneless Belly Pork at £2.19 didn’t look too promising in it’s wrapper. But it worked out really well!

Carrots
Red Onion
Mushrooms
Garlic
Plumbs
Cabbage
Chillies
Black Lime & 1/2 the juice of a Lemon
Oil
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Shake it all up with the Oil, Salt & Pepper
(2) Put it in a tray in the oven at 180C
(3) Watch some TV or have a glass of wine (We didn’t do either as we have no TV or wine!)
(4) Turn so that everything roasts evenly
(5) Serve!

Ingredients for the Cherry Sauce:-

Cherries
Soy Sauce
Cornflour
Juice of ½ a Lemon

Belly Pork:-

Score with a knife, rub with Oil, Salt & Pepper and roast at 180C until the crackling is crispy. I’m pretty sure nobody needs in-depth instruction here!

We demolished ours we a few boiled Garlic Spuds for a change and the whole thing was really taste. Sorry about the very casual approach today, but this is a really easy, quick and tasty recipe you can do while you’re fighting with you printer, washing machine or children!
