Old Fashioned Grub....
I decided that to keep Mr O as healthy as I could for as long as I could, we would ditch all take-aways and processed food, going back to good old meat and vegetables.
Tonight, I did, Liver, Kidneys, onions, mushrooms, Potaoes and fresh vegetables.
Can any-one remind me of the old fashioned dishes such as steak and Kidney pudding etc. All the meals we had as kids before everything came in a packet.
Ta very much

A favourite has always been Cottage Pie but this time of year stews and casseroles are starting to come in.
You can do far worse than the old standard Sunday Lunch - roast meat (or chicken) potatoes and fresh vedge. Quite often I'll replace the meat with fish as it's lighter.
Fish pie is also good
This is without the new fangled foods like pasta or curry.

Thanks Bryn.... It's slowly coming back to me now. I usually do a roast on sundays but quick meals have replaced good old fashioned cooking I must admit.
And stews.. Yes, I'll get some nice braising steak, turnips, carrots etc.. :-4

I did a venison stew for the girls when they came down the other week and, if I say so myself, it was excellent.

Hi Oscar:-6
I love the concoction that I made up called "Chicken Comfort."
I cook up chicken breasts in a slow cooker, or bake chicken cutlets with homemade bread crumbs and cut up apples and bananas to bake on top.
Bake 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
Both would have lots of fresh, tasty spices: rosemary, oregano, basil, ginger, tarragon, sage and thyme.
Cut cutlets into cubes and place in a big bowl, and then add fresh corn coblets (cook fresh corn and cut from cob....taste makes a big difference), raw, cubed green and red peppers,brocolli, walnuts or pine nuts, any kind of spuds....I like to make home fries. But, you can add diced up boiled spuds, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Then add chicken gravy and allow to set before serving.
This is a great dish to freeze for a later date.
Just an aside.....
*soak the chicken cutlets in milk, salt and pepper for 15 minutes (makes a difference...breaks down fibers)
*Instead of spuds, you can add any kind of noodles or rice.

Hi Clod,
It's correct on an American electric stove. I'm not sure of the differences in our UK and American stove temperatures.

If I recall correctly, to go from Fahrenheit to Celsius you half the number and subtract 32.
So 375 deg F would be er, um, 155.5 deg C? Low heat slow cook?

Subtract 32 and halve the number is your rough approximation = 171.5
Subtract 32 divide by 9 and multiply by 5 is more accurate = 190

we have corned beef hash at least once a fortnight. I semi mash the spuds with milk and butter add fried (in butter) onions and mushrooms and chopped corned beef and seasoning's. Mash more, transfer to oven proof dish, pop in oven gas mark 5-6 for half an hour till top has browned and crisped. Serve with cabbage or any greens or baked beans for a change.
Yesterday we had thick n mince. Mince beef , fried and fat drained off, add to saucepan with carrots, peas, onions and gravy and seasoning, low heat till tender, serve over creamy mash or boiled spuds or jacket pots or even chips or roasties...Delish!
Get a slow cooker Jul, shove everything in the crock early morning, switch on, serve a delish meal in the evening...No hassle:D

Thanks Chezz... I'm still trying to get to grips with a new fan assisted oven that seems to cook everything quicker but at least it cleans it'self.:wah: I find it very theraputic peeling veg. It reminds me of my childhood when all the veg came out of the garden and mum and I would sit at a large kitchen table shucking pea's. Oh happy days. :-6

I still shuck peas!!! Grin. Agree with you on the slow cooker, Chezzie. They are great. Oscar - You brown the meat and the vegies in the morning, shove them all in, go out all day, come home tired to a house smelling totally wonderful and welcoming, and dinner's all ready. And in slow cooking, you use cheaper cuts of meat too which is good for the budget.

I've been looking at them in my catalogue today and they do seem so easy. I like the idea of meat cooking very slowly as well to get it very tender. I'll definately buy one. I do always brown my meat first and I also brown joints of meat first to seal them.

after we had roast beef, mom always made Sheppard's Pie.
in a casserole dish:
--place roast beef (grind it up first)
-- peas
--put mashed potatoes on top
(or whatever veggies you want)
form potatoes in a peak for crispness
dab butter or margarine here and there on top
cook at 325 for 45 minutes.
now that's Shepherds pie.
and so easy.
-takes so much better than Sheppard's pie with hamburger meat.

in a casserole dish:
--place roast beef (grind it up first)
-- peas
--put mashed potatoes on top
(or whatever veggies you want)
form potatoes in a peak for crispness
add some butter or margarine.
cook at 325 for 45 minutes.
now that's Shepherds pie.
and so easy.
-takes so much better than Sheppard's pie with hamburger meat. How strange.
Shepherds Pie here is made with Lamb and when It's made with beef, it's called Cottage Pie.

..it sounds really good. It is delish... You just mince the lamb and then use the same Recipee as for shepherds pie. My mother always made it on a monday after sundays when we had a leg of lamb. I loved it. :-4:-4

Hello Julie:-4
I'm not sure if you like 'hot and spicy' foods, but why don't you take a look at my spicy thread.....Some of it is 'new age' but a lot of it is comfort food.
You can always adjust the heat of the spices;)

ooooooooo Thanks Kathy. Pete has been advised to avoid spicy and hot dishes now but as you say, I can adjust the spices and heat. We both love very hot food. I will have a good look... Thankyou.
