I sometimes use chicken mince (thigh meat) when making a spag bol. Find it's quicker and tbh I like the taste . I don't do the whole 2 hours thing either if it's just for me. Quite simple recipe. I just use onions and peppers fried in olive oil. Add some spices and herbs and the odd green chilli (or chilli paste) fry it in with the onions etc. Add a 3 parts water and 1 part Tom puree (so about a teaspoon of puree) so the spices don't burn. Add in chicken mince and fry it up till cooked. Then add in a tin of tomatoes and a teaspoon of sugar. Sometimes add Worcestershire sauce and even have added soy or oyster sauce just to be a bit different. Sometimes add a bit of ground cinnamon Takes about 15-20 minutes. I don't need to prep too much before hand either. Just the onion really. The rest you can chop as the onion is frying. If you have a home bargains near you they do small jars of red chilli, garlic and ginger paste for about 69p each.
I like it mixed too. I cook the above recipe and then add the pasta to it. Adding a bit of the pasta water to the sauce makes the sauce even nicer imo
I love the stuff mate. Its just so much quicker to cook and because it's thigh meat it's not dry like breast meat is. I also use strips of lamb now and again
I have vegetarian family members so sometimes have to cater for them. I use the above recipe but add aubergine and courgettes instead of the meat My favourite is doing the above then adding prawns and a couple of tins of tuna. Takes about 10 minutes
Not the best presentation but tasted lovely! Worked well with diced beef, been cooking all day so proper melt in mouth.
I'm doing a bastardised version of mice and onions, with home made chips. Chips a re all ready twice fried, so ready. Pack of beef mice, fried off. Garlic, mushrooms, onions carrots, couple of sausages fried of All in the pan, added a load of pre made gravy....Worcester sauce, a dollop of mustard, a squidg of brown sauce, a tin of sweetcorn, a few hebs hoyed in Oh and a oxo cube, probably get another at the end. All ready to heat and rock and roll later...
Ha no, but i had a pothead mate around earlier..so started to cook for later. ****s wasted (or paranoid) and now gone... So i've added my own **** to bulk it up, and spice it up a bit. Never trust a pot head to eat a big meal, they eat little bits of ****..
This is the diet slop I’ve been served up. It’s stone cold as went to the shop to buy Guinness and accidentally popped to a pub.
