Bhavan Pie????

Bhavan Pie recipe

Apparently a Bhavan is a humble dwelling in India. So Cottage Pie with a twist of Indian spices must be a Bhavan Pie I’m guessing?

Our basic Cottage Pie recipe is here.

The addition to the mince mix are as follows:-

Ingredients:-

Cumin seeds, dry toasted
Garam Masala
Tomato Puree
Turmeric
Grated fresh Ginger
2 cloves of Garlic, grated
Cumin
Paprika
Oil

Method:-

(1) Dry toast the Cumin seeds in a frying pan.
(2) Add the other ingredients above and bring to a simmer.
(3) Continue with the general Cottage Pie recipe here.

The mince for this creation came in the “Student Survival Pack” we won from Swain Family Butchers. As we are happily tagging them in our recipes we thought we’d try something a bit different on the Cottage Pie theme and this really worked well.

Blue Cheese Stuffed Pork Loin

Loin is one of the leanest cuts of Pork and has a bit of a tendency to dry out when roasted. But not if you stuff it! Also we’re more than happy to throw a few bits and bobs from the fridge at it if it’s wearing a yellow sticker….

Ingredients:-

Two tbsp Creme Fraiche
An Onion, finely chopped
Blue Stilton, crumbled
Garlic, minced
Mushrooms, finely sliced
Margarine
Fresh Parsley, chopped
DIY Garlic Butter (Margarine here)
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Sautee the Onion and Garlic in the Margarine until softened.
(2) Add the Mushrooms.
(3) Add the Parsley.
(4) Stir in the Creme Fraiche
(5) Season with Salt & Pepper.
(6) Simmer to reduce for 10 minutes.
(7) Put pockets in the Pork Loin.
(8) Spread the sauce in the pockets and add crumbled Blue Cheese.
(9) Rub Garlic Butter over the rind.
(10) Roast in a pre-heated oven at 180c for 40 minutes or until it’s cooked and the sauce is oozing out.

We served ours with roast Potatoes, Parsnips, Peas & Carrots, Yorkshire Puddings and lots of gravy.
