GOUGERE

Cheese choux pastry. Good with something with a sauce, I do this with leftover cauliflower cheese when there isn’t enough for a main meal.

4oz butter (just under half a block)

½ pint milk (1¼ cups)

5 oz plain flour (1¼ cups)

salt, pepper

4 eggs beaten

6oz grated cheese (¾ cup)

Oven on 220ºC

1)Melt butter, add milk

2)Get flour ready, bring milk and butter to boil

3)Move off heat, tip flour in quickly, beat like mad

4)Cool slightly and add eggs slowly (quicker if using mixer)

5)Spoon dollops (technical term) onto a baking sheet

6)Bake 15-20 mins

This is Penny-Pincher's recipe. I used it wiith beef to make a cottage pie. Yummy! It took me forever to find. :rotfl:

Shepherds Pie

1lb Minced Lamb
Tin Of Baked Beans
Tin Of Chopped Toms
Onion
Potatoes for Mash
Grated cheddar

Boil pots for mashing.
Fry onion and mince, when cooked through add toms and beans, simmer for 3-5 mins. Add to pyrex/oven bowl, then mash spuds and add to top, then I either cook for 20 mins with some grated cheddar on top, or freeze and use later. If cooking from freezer, I normally get out night before-defrost, then cook 30 mins in oven with cheddar on top. Takes aprox 20 mins from start to oven. Very tasty. Serve with Veg and gravy. Kids love it!!

I also added a stock cube, and some herbs to the mince. Also some cheese to the potato as well as on top because I love cheese. :cool:

Not sure what this is called, but I've used the recipe for years - got it fromthe back of a pasta packet.

Half pack fusilli (sp?)
pack of lardons or chopped bacon
tin chopped tomatoes
1 onion
pack chilled 10 hot dog sausages (tinned don't work)
red pepper (optional)
grated cheese
salt & pepper to taste

Put pasta on to cook.

Fry bacon and sliced onion together, (if you want the red pepper,slice and add to the bacon and onion and fry for a few minutes). Add the tin of tomatoes and hot dogs (cut into about 2cm chunks). Simmer for about 5mins.

Drain pasta and put in oven proof dish. Mix the bacon/hotdog mixture into the pasta. top with grated cheese. Put in oven (gas mark 4) for about 15 mins until cheese is melted/golden. I usually serve with some garlic bread - or anything that takes your fancy!

Ingredients:
200 gr of plain flour
120 gr. butter or margerine
100 gr. honey
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch of cinammon

Method:
Melt butter a little (or take it out of fridge an hour in advance) and beat it in a bowl until it's creamy.Add honey a little at a time , then add egg (which should be previously beaten) and the flour with the baking powder and the cinammon.Mix until you get a medium soft dough.Preheat oven at 170/gas 4.Make a ball with the dough and pinch small bits of it and shape as you like (little biscuits cook faster and eavenly).Put on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 15 minutes (turning the biscuits at half time).Enjoy!

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time:15 minutes
Tips: to weigh all ingredients in the same bowl use the plastic top of the butter to measure butter, use a glass to measure honey.Then the scales bowl will still be clean to measure flour and other ingredients.
So that dough does not stick to fingers dip your fingers in flour when needed.

My version of Chicken al forno - £6.50 per portion at Wetherspoons! I like to add peppers and sweetcorn.

4 large chicken breasts, skinned and cut into strips
oil for frying
1 jar of Creamy Pepper sauce ( I think it's one of the Chicken Tonight range!)
8oz chopped mushrooms
1 red pepper, deseeded and chopped
small can of sweetcorn ( or equivalent frozen)
large bag of tri-colour pasta twirls

Thoroughly cook chicken in oil, until slightly browned.
Add peppers, sweetcorn and mushrooms and fry for another 3/4 mins.
Add sauce and simmer for 20 mins.
Cook pasta in large pan of boiling water according to packet instructions.
Drain pasta and add sauce mixture to pan. Stir.
Serve with garlic bread and green salad.
