Meaty meatWhen I mention the word "meat", I mostly mean mince (minced Beef, Lamb or Pork), stews and pork bangers. Although I have added other meaty recipes to this site, it is only on very rare occasions, like on Christmas day that we'll eat roasted lamb, beef or pork. Enjoy...
500g minced meat (Beef or Lamb) 3/4 cup cheddar cheese 1 egg 3/4 cup bread crumbs 1 finely chopped onion 1 teaspoon Worcester Sauce / Fish Sauce Tomato sauce 2 tsp crushed garlic Mix altogether except for tomato sauce and 1/4 of the cheese. Season to taste. Shape into a loaf and place it into an ovenproof dish. Bake for about 30 minutes at 200deg celsius; pour off the excess oil. Pour a large amount of tomato sauce over the loaf and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. Bake for a further 20 minutes. Serves 4 SCOTCH EGGS 4 eggs 8 pork sausages bread crumbs oil Hard boil the eggs. Using 2 sausages per egg, remove sausage meat from the skin and mould the meat around the boiled egg. Roll it in bread crumbs and fry on medium heat in oil until golden brown. Keep turning as sausages burn easily. Serve with mashed potato. HAMBURGERS These quick and easy burgers are something that I make when I feel really lazy - usually this is on a Friday. 500g minced meat (Beef or Lamb) 50ml brown sugar 1 beaten egg 100ml oats Salt and pepper to taste Mix all the above ingredients together, add more oats if necessary. Form into 5 hamburger patties and fry in shallow oil on medium heat. Or place hamburger patties approximately 100mm from the oven element for approximately 15 minutes. Serve on a roll with a slice of tomato, lettuce, cheese and bbq sauce.
