Pastry: 1 cup Plain flour, rub in 3 tablespoons butter, then add 2 teaspoons brown vinegar & 1 tablespoon milk. Roll out and line a generous pie plate with pastry.
Filling: 1 grated carrot, 1 grated apple, 1 grated onion, 1 grated potato, 1 teaspoon mixed herbs, 2 teaspoons curry powder, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 cup or more of finely chopped up cooked roast/of any sort.
Combine ingredients and place in pastry. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top and dot with butter. Bake in moderate oven 40 - 45 mins.
NB: This is good to use with any roast meat that you have for leftovers. I've made it with pork, lamb & beef and it's tasted nice. I have used frozen pastry before if I'm stuck for time. The recipe says it makes two pies but mine never does but I make the pastry & freeze half for another time.

Broccoli and Apple Soup
Broccoli - 1 large head
Dessert apples - 2 peeled, cored and chopped
Butter - 50 g (2 oz)
Red onion - 1 chopped
Vegetable stock - 750 ml (1 pint),
Pepper to taste
Double cream - 90 ml (3 fl oz) - optional
1. Discard the tough stem from the broccoli and coarsely chop.
2. Melt butter, add the onion and apples, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
3. Add the stock and broccoli.
4. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
5. Purée the soup (stick blender in pan is easiest)
6. Add pepper and cream.
7. Serve with croutons or fresh crusty bread!
It's very yummy
PS you might want to do a taste test before adding the cream, as I actually prefer it without cream in, and so does DS, but it's fine either way

Tomato and Lentil Soup
2 carrots, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3-4 oz red lentils
small leek, chopped (optional)
2 apples, peeled, cored and chopped
2 tins tomatoes
good squirt of tomato puree
dash worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 pints vegetable stock
Cook lentils, carrots, leek and onion in the stock, add everything else and simmer for 15 mins. Season to taste with mixed herbs and pepper.
Whizz with a blender and that's it! It makes about 5-6 good portions. You could bulk it out with red peppers too. I use it as a soup, and boil it down for the base of bolognese sauce too.

This is a recipe great for the Foreman grill.
Couple of Turkey steaks
Tablespoon Oregano
4 Tbs Olive Oil
4 Tbs lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
Mix oregano, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic add a twist of black pepper, chuck in the turkey steaks and make sure they are well copvered with the mixture, marinade in the fridge for minimum 1 hour.
Heat your foreman grill and put the steaks on it making sure the remaining marinade is poured over, cook for above 5 minutes (or until done) et voila!
( I usually use both of my foreman grease catcher trays, I use one to collect the juice, then slide it out put the clean one under and pour the juice over the steaks whilst they are cooking, it keeps them nice and moist and covered in the marinade! Theres very little if any fat comes out of the turkey anyway)Just because you are offended, doesn't mean you are right0 -
Can't remember where I found this one. It's a real MSE recipe though...
Very very cheap vanilla ice cream (Tesco's basic, something like that) You want the sort that DOESN'T say dairy ice cream.
For each litre of ice cream, half a pint of cream (which you have just bought reduced, at the end of the day)
2 dessert spoons of black treacle
A handful of pecan or walnut halves
Leave the ice cream out of the fridge for about an hour (winter) or keep watching it (summer) until you can stir the other ingredients in with a great deal of effort. Don't let it get too runny. (Please note that you are not meant to melt and then re-freeze dairy things. But you didn't buy dairy ice cream, did you? YOU got the really cheap stuff, like I said!) Do that, stir really well, and re-freeze.
Have a dinner party and serve your expensive home-made ice-cream. If you like, you can pour more cream on top _party_I was a board guide here for many years, but have now resigned. Amicably, but I think it reflects very poorly on MSE that I have not even received an acknowledgement of my resignation! Poor show, MSE.
