DINNERS with less than five ingredients... !

[flossieteacake]

Just thought that if we had a thread with loads of easy dinners, then that would save me faffing around rejecting all the recipes that require loads of things I don't have! I mean easy peasy family meal recipes!

Here's mine:

Easy sausage casserole:

fry 1/2 onion per person with some garlic, add 2 sausages per person cut into bite size pieces, and stir fry for 5 mins or so. Add 1/2 tin tomatoes per person and 1/4 pint veg/chicken stock per person. Leave simmering for 15 mins or so and bobs your uncle. Serve with mash or potatoes and veg of your choice. That's like 5 ingredients! Anyone else?

chicken
jerk seasoning
onions
tomatoes
any veg you want.

Bung it all in a pot, put on top or in oven. Da da!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bacon and butternut sqaush risotto

bacon
butternut
rice
onion
stock

ratatouie

1 aubergine
2 courgettes
1 onion
2 tins tomatoes
basil and garlic (Ok so that's 2 ingreds!)

serve with lots of cheese on top and with naan bread

coronation chicken

cooked chicken
mayo
natural yog
curry powder
mango chutney

bacon and leek pie

bacon
leek
cheese sauce

mashed pots on top

(think I'll stop now as I'm realising nearly everything I cook has 5 or less ingreds...)

tassis you are a genius... how about getting published?? I'd buy it!

tuna pasta:
tuna
pasta
sweetcorn
mayo

egg and chipd
steak and chips
sausage and mash
fish and chips

god the list could go on forever

now there's an idea, flossyteacake!

take away

pizza

snap! (ish)

Actually....I have a book that is called "Take 5 ingredients...." its rather good.....

Will look some up.

haha I mean RECIPES that I can make where I wear a pinny and husband comes home thunking he's married to Betty Crocker...

thinking - my typing is as bad as my cooking

do you count herbs and spices as separate ingredients? If so , I'm buggered...but if not....

Chicken, butter, white wine, shallots, cream, (and tarragon).

serve with rice, or jackets, green beans.

or chicken, bacon, tomato puree, paprika, sliced red peppers, (salt and pepper), Serve in warmed tortilla wraps.

Onions, potatoes, eggs - Spanish ommelette - gorgeous.

Sweet potatoes, baked with sour cream, chilli

Pasta, pesto, parmesan

French bread, red pesto, mozerella, oregano, chilli flakes - toasted

Cauliflower, cheese sauce

Lots of soups must have 5 or less ingredients - but I usually put spices in mine so that would take it to more than 5

beans
toast

boiled egg
soldiers

bread
ham/cheese/tuna/other alterntative filling.

or dinner Ds3 style

toast
jam.

sorry.....there are some FAB recipes on here.

Just wanted to bump this as I was getting excited at the beginning!

Take a bag of manky carrots, a wrinkly potato and a wizened onion. Chop onion and fry for in a big pan for a couple of minutes. Chop carrots and potato into small pieces and add to the pan. Add about a handful of no-need-to-soak-ready-to-use pearl barley and about a pint and a quater of veg stock, stir, cover and leave to simmer for half an hour. Stir occasionally if you can remember to. After half an hour add about half a pint of milk and whizz it all up in a blender. Done.

I know this is technically 6 items but the veg stock doesn't really count.
