Osso Bucco: you can buy veal shanks for this from www.blackface.co.uk and other such places, (rose veal only, thankfully), have never seen them in the shops, though, but that might just be where we live. To be honest, I didn't realise it was a staple food to anybody, I always thought of it more as a luxury item.
Staple meals in here depend on the season because I have to cook what's in the box. At this time of year we eat things like:
easy cabbage rolls
squash and leek rissotto
baked potatoes with braised leeks and smoked mackerel
beetroot and carrot soup
lentil and kale soup
kale, chorizo and chick pea soup
chick pea curry with seasonal greens
potato curry with seasonal greens
lentil and root veg casserole
mushroom curry
mushroom stroganoff
potato, cheese and leek pie
shepherdess pie
cheesy mixed root mash
porridge steaks with mushroom sauce and bubble and squeak
venison casserole
cumin scented beef with red peppers and canellini beans
white fish chowder
pumpkin, apple and lentil curry
hare casserole (when I can get hare, expensive but one hare can feed about 12-15 people once you add veg and things to the casserole.)
All year round meals include things like:
tomato and cheese rice
pasta bake of one kind or another
garden veg rice
rice and beans with soy mince
spicy lentils and rice
tomato mince
curried split pea soup
pinto beans with either rice or corn bread
bean chilli
eggy rice
kedgeree
easy malaysian noodles
satay stir fry
hicken soup
chicken curry
chicken pie
creamy chicken with baked potatoes
meatloaf
meatball subs
chilli
chilli dog bake
lentil loaf
lentil burgers
lentil sloppy joes
lentil stew
mediterranean beans with rice
quinoa casserole.
Every week, I pick meals to use the veg box up and and things from my whatever meat box I have bought that month. Then I pad the meal plan out with generic things that I can cook any time of the year.
