ladyram Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Ok guys n gals, first quick recipe for any kind of fruit crumble; 350g fruit (fresh or tinned) if you're using fresh, you might want to sweeten it with a handful of canderel (if you're watching the calories) if not use normal sugar 50g marg, or if you want it to be a bit richer, you could use butter instead 100g sr flour 50g sugar whack oven on 190C gas 5, chuck sweetened fruit into an ovenproof dish rub fat into flour until it resembles bread crumbs using your finger tips - don't rush, this is the theraputic part 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> add sugar, give it a mix up and spread evenly over fruit bake for 30 mins or until fruit is cooked and the top is golden. Oh, and save us a bit (but only if it's apple cos I can't stand rhubarb) 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyroad Froggg, have ya got any left overs?

Day Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I've been strutting my stuff in the kitchen recently, I know there seems to be a hatred towards Tesco but this site is bloody good for recipes. http://www.tescorealfood.com/recipes.html Been using it on me iPad, you can whack all the ingrediants into yer basket and gets delivered next day, doubt they deliver to Mexico but you can still use the recipes.

ladyram Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 That's a good site Daveo, cheers. I noticed a crumble recipe on there which adds oats to the flour and sugar to give it a more crunchy top. Excellent, I'm gonna give that a try. Add it to the above recipe campers. I'll get some Scott's Porridge Oats and use the rest for breakfasts. Yum yum. I went right off porridge when I was younger cos me mother always used to put salt on it!! Horrible.

Day Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 We're trying the fish pie tonight, the missus is cooking it so there is a pretty good chance it will be a Haddock sushi pie with burnt topping. http://www.tescorealfood.com/recipes/fish-pie-with-sweet-potato-topping.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Mmm, I'd probably do that if I ate fish - but I hate the stuff. Might do it for Dav though, if he's good. I noticed the recipe says to run egg under cold water before cutting it. I just do it straightaway but then I've got asbestos hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby_Dave Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 The above recipe is one I make often it is superb and pretty healthy. Is still good after freezing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby_Dave Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Obviously the ingredients are pretty precise but you do not have to be quite so. Chop the veg as fine as as you can as they reduce into the sauce. Food processor if you have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most I've ever used in one dish is 2tbs because otherwise wouldn't it over power everything else? Plus, you'd still have the basis of the sauce with the other toms?

Chop the veg as fine as as you can as they reduce into the sauce. Food processor if you have one. On your recipe Mariyln I'd leave out the courgette and stick some thin slices of butternut squash in instead. No matter what I do to courgette, it still tastes of nowt. Maybe it's just me and my taste buds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Morning campers, I've been trying to put in a clip of Nigella from youtube onto here - but I keep forgetting how to do it!! (feckin hate pooters) anyway, for those who like the idea of a quick meal, check out Nigella Express, steak & white bean mash. Only takes about 5 mins, from start to finish.
