kezlou, thanks for mentioning the BNS. Is that what we are supposed to be serving with the omelette?

ooooh heck! Sorry Poohbear, the BNS is in the omelette and you've got 250g potatoes and 80g carrots each to serve with it. Potatoes either as wedges with 30ml oil each or served with an oil and vinegar dressing or the egg free mayo

HTH

Poohbear I just went to check and it is there in the recipe at the usual place but right down at the bottom IYSWIM? Just before the comments part...

PS if anyone is like me and likes the text to be a bit bigger for the recipes, press 'Ctrl' and '+' at the same time and the writing will grow. You can enlarge it as many times as you like

Aww sorry DD

How would a kidney bean version work for her frankie? I'm just trying to think, I haven't made it for a month now, but it didn't taste baked beany, more it was spicy. Shall I sheck the spices and see if they need upping?


I found mine also to taste like mushed up beans really nice but def could be more spicy for me

Yes what is this power you hold over us? You say "go and buy £100 of ingreds and make x for a week" and we all go "ok". Please dont ask us to jump off a cliff or you will have no testers left:rotfl:

any recommendations about amounts here shanks? xxx

Thanks Weezl, I think that's my conclusion too. The mix did need more oil tho and the tip of rolling out between greaseproof paper worked fantastically well.

We all had the tart, tonight, together with potato salad and it was a huge hit. So it was worth all the effort. Think I'll try to find a smaller dish though.

Just for information.
There are four of us and Me, OH, DD(13) DS(12)
We are following the plan for evening meals following the Morecambe and Wise model (all of the right meals but not necessarily in the right order)
We just want to reduce our outgoings, food waste and increase our healthy food balance. Our grand plan is to save for a holiday:)

OK, dinner all done and eaten. When presented with his, DH said "Ooh, this looks nice." When he'd finished he said "That was lovely darling." I think it was a hit!
We often have Spanish omelette, but usually I put the potato in it and have salad on the side. This way it seemed a lot more substantial. I had rather less than 250g of potato wedges and DH had rather more - probably 200 for me and 300 for him, and we're both pretty full.
I took photos, but have no idea how to put them on here.

We also had a glass of rose with it. Sorry Weezl
