I make my sauces with chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, beef stock, basil, oregano, garlic, onion, peppers and mushroom. Normally served with minced beef of course. Tasty with meatballs added too.

Also for anyone that wasn't aware, fresh garlic >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any other kind.

Made this today and it was beautiful so thought I'd share it. Did 1 can of chick peas and 1 can of butter beans instead of all chick peas.

Lets talk breakfasts.

Like the rest of instagram, avocados and poached eggs on toast are a current favourite of mine at the moment but huevos rancheros also get made on the odd Saturday. Any other suggestions?

 

[Stagat]

Not an egg man but avocado and vegemite on wholemeal or seeded toast is wonderful.

Cover it with lashings of grated extra mature cheddar and it's heavenly. [/Pagnell]

 

[slaphead]

Avacados are one of the few things I can't eat, horrible slimy fuckers.

One slice granary toast, baked beans topped with two poached eggs. Drizzle with HP. My breakfast heaven.

Failing that, Kippers.

Eggy crumpets were a uni Sunday morning favourite. Add in a but of chilli for a kick and some fried Bacon cos we got to die of something.

 

[Stevencc]

I can see you are interested mate so I put together a little guide for you.

Step one - Place two pieces of bread, preferably Kingsmill 50/50, onto a plate that has instructional commands like "relax" or "eat" on it.

Step two - Apply Flora buttery to each slice of bread. This is very important.

Step three - Lovingly place two low quality pieces of corned beef onto the freshly buttered Kingsmill 50/50 bread.

Step four - Slice the sandwich triangularly - this is VERY important.

Step five - I recommend pairing this dish with a light, sparkling vegetable extract drink.

Step six - Eat and drink.

 

[shane]

You haven't even put any mayo or tomato in there. Mustard even. You'll need that drink just to choke that down.

 

[Stevencc]

I have to admit it was quite dry.

 

[sl1k]

A like Stevencc just for instructional command plate. "entertain" "dine", one would be lost without them

 

[Veggie Legs]

Minus points for the terrible bread buttering though.

 

[Stevencc]

That's clearly a pooh sandwich though.

 

[silkyman]

I recommend inserting small cuts of jalapeños into the balls.

Pervert.

 

[Christian Slater]

You've cut it wrong. The red line is the correct way:

Has anyone done it the yellow way? I can't believe that.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

In order to test it, yes. I was greatly unsatisfied.

 

[Abertawe]

Sainsburys posh line are cut like that I think.

 

[Christian Slater]

I've fallen in love with poached egg caprese.

Cut an English muffin in half and stick them under the grill. Place a slice of tomato on each and then as much mozzarella as you please of top of that. Allow the cheese to melt and then remove from the grill and place your poached eggs on top. Finally, garnish with a little pesto.

 

[shane]

Anyone made their own pesto? Game changer.
