Do you know why it was so delicious? Because I made the mash with jacket potatoes, not boiled. I mashed in lots of butter, salt and papper and it was just creamy enough before I grated in the tangy strong cheese...sorry, is your mouth watering?

maidamess · 04/09/2008 22:46

salt and papper! Ha!

BexieID · 04/09/2008 22:47

I don't really have a recipe - I just throw things in in a random fashion. I'll have a go...

Chicken carcass - bung in big pan, cover with cold water, throw in a couple of bay leaves, a few peppercorns, salt, and a couple of stockcubes organic chicken bouillon. Bring to boil, then simmer gently for..er..quite a long time.

Get very large mixing bowl and pour contents through a sieve - discard bay leaves, peppercorns etc. Leave carcass to cool a bit then pick all the meat off and put it in the fridge. Leave stock to cool then skim any fat/scum off the top.

Chop up vegetables - I use whatever I happen to have but that will probably include leeks, onions, carrots, potatoes, celery. You can saute them in a bit of butter first or just cook them in the stock. I generally don't put potatoes in straight away as they can get too soft - start with the herd stuff! I'll also put in sweet potatoes sometimes, swede, turnip, parsnip...really any old thing. When the vegetables are tender I put the chicken back in and any quick-cooking vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, courgettes, shredded cabbage). If you have any veg left over from Sunday lunch bung them in at this stage too - any earlier and they will just turn to mush. I usually chuck in a can of sweetcorn too as we all like it in soup. Check the taste - you may need more salt and pepper.

You can add a splash of single cream if you like, just before serving.

Hard stuff, not herd stuff

KarisTiasMum · 05/09/2008 18:36

onions, garlic, lardons, potatoes and chorizo all fried up together

FrockHorror · 05/09/2008 18:40

I've just attempted my first chicken casserole with proper (not frozen) veg and proper (not frozen) potatoes and real chicken from the butchers.

We are on about week 4 of "healthy eating" which basically means no shop bought sauces, no boil in the bag anything, no ready meals and fruit and veg bought at the market and chucked in just about everything.

It's going well so far actually and I'm not tiring of thinking up and trying new things. I like looking at food threads to give me inspiration and people on here are always willing to give ideas.

MaureenMLove · 05/09/2008 18:40

Homemade wine, which tastes more like sherry.

schneebly · 05/09/2008 18:41

fish fingers, potato waffles and peas.

I had just been soaked to the skin really enjoyed it though!

Barcelonababe · 05/09/2008 18:44

Spanish ommelette, with potatoes, onion and garlic with a green salad, tomatoes and avocados.

Cherries

A cheeky chocolate pud!

Feed Your Family For A Fiver - Chicken and Lentil Hotpot.

Was very very tasty!

Woollymummy · 05/09/2008 18:46

Beef casserole made by DP, pink fir apple potatoes and spinach grown by DP, sweetcorn from shop, blackberry and apple crumble picked and made by me. Mmmmm, a bit like harvest festival. We decided as it was pissing down we would have proper autumn food.

FrannyandZooey · 05/09/2008 18:47

mushroom stroganoff, basmati rice, carrots and cauliflower

MrsMattie · 05/09/2008 18:47
