What's on the menu tonight?

[Junglejayne]

I did veggie fajitas with salsa on the side.

Co-op Mince.... with fresh veggies....

Hoe do you cook the mince?

I don't bother with veg oil at all as there is enough natural fat for the mince to fry itself (when I am doing a chilli or spag bol).

you want to know how to cook mince?

No I wanted to know their particular method - I use the fat in the meat to fry itself but some people use a lot of oil as well.

That's what I meant.

I never use fat and I buy 5% fat mince from Aldi. It is very lean and very tasty. I dry fry mine with onions.

Tonight I made chicken curry with rice cooked with saffron. We also had naans but they were bought ones from Aldi. They were fine. I also did some natural yoghourt with chopped chives and mint.

Yes I dry fry lean mince as well.

Everyone is different. I add a few drops of oil. Maybe it's just habit. But I like the resulting texture. The mince fries rather than 'boils' when extra oil is added.
Either way, the main thing to watch out for - is that the mince tends to get very lumpy, very quickly when it's cooking, ..... so try and break up the lumps promptly.

I LOVE experimenting with recipes. Cosmetically not always perfect looking, but at least it's tasty and you know exactly what's in it. unlike those perfect looking cookie-cutter meals from factories.

Hi Canary - I am not a bad cook when I can be arsed.

Someone brought me a big bag of fresh veggies from their allotment so I made chips with the large new potatoes, had fresh green beans and peas and I found some Linda McCartney veggie sausages in the freezer so we had them. Wasn't very impressed with the sausages but everything else was lovely.

None of the above, I want it rare enough that a half decent vet could piece it all back together. Blob of mustard, blob of horseradish sauce. Crusty baked potatoes. Drop or 3 of merlot to chase it down. Scoop of haagen das for afters, thanks for asking, Vicky!
