Meatballs

This is one meal that everyone in my family eats and they all ask for more.  I can never cook enough.  If you want more sauce double the recipe. This recipe is great.  It works out quite cheap to make and it uses pretty standard ingredients.  I usually serve this with rice but goes just as well with mashed potatoes.  ENJOY.

Mince, Onion, 1 Egg, 2 Tablespoons Vinegar, 1 Tablespoon Butter, 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar, 2 Teaspoons Lemon Juice, 1/4 Cup Water, 1/2 Cup Tomato Sauce, 1/4 Cup Soy Sauce, 1 Teaspoon Coffee, Oil

Mix mince with onion and egg.  Roll in flour and brown in a frying pan.  Mix all other ingredients in a pot.  Bring to the boil and simmer for a few minutes.  Add meatballs and cook for 20-30 minutes.

Fish Pie

I buy a can of fish filletts at the supermarket.  Make a white sauce or a cheese sauce.  Stir fish in with a little salt and pepper.  Top with mashed potatoes and cheese.  To make a white sauce melt about 3 tablespoons of butter in microwave or pot.  Stir in 3 tablespoons of flour. Cook for about a minute or two and add about one cup of milk.  Cook for about 3 minutes in the microwave or until thickened in a pot.  Add cheese if you want.  You can also add some onion or vegetables such as grated carrot to the sauce or courgette.  Sometimes I add some hard boiled egg.  Cook in the oven for about 20 minutes.

Yummy Lamp Chops

2 Tablespoons flour, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 2 tablespoons tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons vinegar, salt, 1-2 teaspoons curry powder,  1-2 teaspoons ginger, 1-2 teaspoons mixed spice, 1-2 teaspoons mustard, 1 cup water

Chop fat off chops.  Put in shallow dish and marinate for 2 hours. Cover and cook for 2 hours at 150 degrees. This is great done in the crock pot.
