Corned Beef you think hash or chilli right? No how about:
1) Beef Wellington.
Roll out short crust pastry. Lay on slices of tinned corned beef. Roll up and roast - yum yum.
2) Corned Beef Scouse or Stovie.
It's a stew. Chop veggies and slow cook in Oxo or Marmite. Cub tined corned beef and add for last 30 mins - yum yum.
3) Lasagna.
Normal recipe but instead of mince layers put in sliced corned beef layers along with either a squeeze of tomato puree (OK) or mustard (honestly nice) - yum yum.
4) Meat balls with whatever you want.
Mash corned beef and add egg. Roll into balls then fry or roast. Can add onions, garlic, chilli or anything else that grabs your fancy (Worcestershire sauce is good) - yum yum.
I think this ^^^^ is a bit bonkers but there's something intriguing about the idea of corned beef wellington.0 -
Chicken curry and rice, poppadoms for husband. I thought there was a vegetable curry in the freezer, but daughter must have taken it as a lunch at work. I ended up with some vegetarian nuggets that I found while sorting out the freezers earlier. They weren't pleasant.0

I'm just making a raspberry trifle. I can't remember the last time I made jelly, must be over 40 years ago (am I really that old?). I had some leftover sponge fingers from a dessert I made a couple of weeks ago when we had visitors, plus a jar of Boozy Berries which we were given for Christmas. My goodness do they live up to their name, they're soaked in gin. I'm just waiting for the jelly to set. Of course I just have to keep checking the Extra Thick Double Cream is OK....... hope the jelly hurries up and sets soon or there may be none left......Make £2025 in 2025
