We continued the mix'n'match approach to dinner club teams tonight. Myself and Eimear took charge of the cooking duties. This has long been billed as the clash of the titans. The others have a long held belief that the two of us would spark and argue over the cooking.
I don't understand this, we're both easy going people, without strong views on anything. At no point would we ever shout at each other, wave ladles at each other, or threaten to dangle each other out a window.
In any event, we decided on cottage pie. I made the mince, and bought some pate from an off licence.
so, to make the mince for my recipe:
1 Big load of mince 9 (approx 750g)
2 glasses of red wine
2 beef stock gel things (knorr)
1 wallop of tabasco sauce
1 large onion
Carrots
Corn
Salt
pepper
Wosterschireshireshire sauce
1) dissect the onions until they are in small bittles
2) Heat these in the oil of some sunflowers or olives until they are translucent.
3) Add the mince, and colour until it is the same shade as a fine chocolate easter egg
4) Unto this mixture, add the wine, until it is drunk as a poet
5) Lash in enough tabasco that your mother would say 'do you really need all that tabasco'
6) Dollops of Wostershireshireshireshire sauce
7) Boil up a kettle of Brisbane Hair gel (water) and add some of the knorr stock things to a glass of the boiled. Add this to yon concoction.
8) Add the veh-e-tables
9) cook throughout an episode of skins
10) take out enough mince to put in a quick sandwich for your tea.
11) put in a casserole dish, and into a cool bag
12) put the cool bag in a box, put the box into the car, drive the car around the world.
13) add mash,
14) brown mash
15) eat.
