1/3 of a Red Cabbage, finely sliced
2 rashers of Bacon, chopped
2 Mushrooms, finely sliced
½ an Onion sliced
2 Sliced of Leek
Salt & Pepper

(2) In a large frying pan heat a little oil.
(3) Fry the Bacon and then add the Onion.
(4) Once fried add the Mushrooms and soften.
(5) Pour in the Red Cabbage & Vinegar and add the Leek.
(6) Season to taste and then simmer stiring regularly until the Cabbage has softened but still has some bite.

The Monster in the background is one of our favourites - Giant Toad-in-the-Hole. We served ours with mashed Potato, mashed Swede and Carrot and lots of gravy over the Toad-in-the-Hole. A proper hearty winter warmer sort of dinner.

DIY Brown Sauce - Gluten Free

There is logic in this madness. Almost all Brown Sauces have Wheat Gluten in them. That’s a serious no-no for Sue. There is actually no need and as far as we can tell so far this version tastes much better anyway. We’re supposed to give it 10 days to mature. Well, we’ll see how that goes!!!!

Ingredients:-

4 Apples, cores and chopped
300g of Prunes, chopped
1 Large Onion, diced
375g of Brown Sugar
72G of Salt
900ml of Malt Vinegar
1 Tsp of dried Ginger
½ Tsp of Allspice
½ Tsp Cayenne Pepper
¼ Tsp Grated Nutmeg

Method:-

(1) Open all the windows!
(2) Bung it all in a really big pan and bring to the boil.
(3) Stand outside as the Vinegar fumes will be making you gasp by now!
(4) Reduce the heat and simmer until everything has reduced by 1/3, stirring regularly.
(5) Remove from the heat.
(6) Use a hand blender (Food processor will be fine) and wuzz everything up.
(7) Once cool pour into a clip top jar.
(8) Set aside for 10 days!!!!!

We recycled an existing plastic squeezey which we’ll top up as required.
