shimmigirl

potatos - I like new ones but normal bolied spuds quartered work just as well
bacon - mishapes, streaky, chopped upback, lardons or even left over gammon / bacon joint
chopped onions
tin of chicken or mushroom condensed soup.

cook the first three ingredients then mix in with the soup as a sauce - yum yum

Shepherds Pie:D

Sorry, but that made me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Sponge cake - butter, eggs, flour and sugar (I'd prefer chocolate cake, but that needs 5 ingredients )

Try this existing thread - 3 and 4 MSE ingredients (recipes).

I'll merge the threads later

Soubrette

My favourite meal with few ingredients is from one that someone posted on the oldstyle board - we rarely buy wraps these days:

Tortilla Wraps:
340g plain flour
2 tbsp oil
plus
180ml water

original recipe calls for 1/2tsp salt but I never add it.

I often have a fried egg and tomato sauce as a filling.
but you could have say;
tuna + mayonnaise
cheese + tomatoes

or any kind of filling that stays fairly solid really

I'd add this lovely little recipe I threw together one night:

2 Pork Steaks
Good squirt of Honey
About a teaspoon of mustard
Pasta

Cook the pasta. Pan fry the pork steaks lightly until cooked. Remove to a plate and cut into strips. In the pan over a low heat put the honey and the mustard with any juices from the pork, and mix until nice and smooth. Add the pasta and the pork strips back to the pan and stir until everything is coated.

Serve with black pepper and a little salt.

The easiest main course of all has to be Corned Beef Hash.Which is a tin of corned beef cubed,1 onion chopped,1lb carrots peeled and sliced and enough peeled cubed potatoes to fill the pan.Cover with water,bring to the boil and cook until everything is cooked and then serve.Yummy delicious with red cabbage or beetroot

loving teh recipies

must say though we got a 3-4 ingredient cook book as a christmas gift last year and i thought it was going to be brilliant (simple enough to get the OH cooking) but it turned out that the ingredients excluded anything that was described as a "store cupboard" item....which is fair enough with herbs/spices etc. but this book included lots of things i would have classed as ingredients as store cupboard items..so basically is you didnt have a store cupoard as extensive as the writers it was certainly not 3-4 items...just a little gripe, still love the cook book but i no longer trust the title!

keep the recipies coming though...very good for planning those days when you are using groceries left over at the end of the month!

Spaghetti with Oil and Garlic (Aglio e Olio)


Water, salt, pepper

Pasta
olive oil
garlic
Pinch of dried chilli flakes

One of the hardest simple things to make well, and easy to ruin with over cooked pasta, burnt garlic or rubbish olive oil, but lovely when done right.
