I have been feeling
rather less than my best this week and all the baking and cooking can
be up hill work. Now it is entirely my own fault that the boys will
not eat anything pre cooked so microwave meals are out. Not for them
the ready to bake cottage pie ,even the more up market ones will not
do.
Having rummaged about
in the cupboards and the freezer I came up with a hasty pork
cassolette quick and tasty and above all freshly cooked.
1lb diced pork rolled
in seasoned flour
1 can red kidney beans
1 can butter beans
1 onion peeled and
sliced
4 carrots peeled and
roughly chopped
1 red apple chopped
2 chicken stock cubes
1 dessert spoon of
coriander powder
1 teaspoon of ground
cumin
1 teaspoon of chopped
rosemary
1 dessert spoon of
paprika
salt and pepper to
taste
Place the pork in to
the bottom of a shallow casserole dish, add the carrots then the
onions .
Next pour on first the
butter beans and then the red kidney beans.
Lastly scatter the
chopped apple on the top.
Sprinkle;le on the
spices and the crushed stock cubes, then pour on sufficient water to
cover. Put on the lid or make one from foil and bake at 185oC for 90
minutes.
Check the seasoning and
add the salt and pepper if needed.
Serve with crusty bread
or if you are feeling energetic top with a dozen cheese scones and
bake in a hot oven for a further twelve minutes to make a cobbler.
This went down a storm
with the boys and they even offered to wash up
afterwards............smelling salts please! Only joking.
