Tuna Surprise

This is a bit of a different fish recipe but very more-ish.

2 x 185g cans of tuna drained
1 hard boiled egg chopped
37g stale breadcrumbs
Pinch of paprika
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of curry powder
1/2 tsp of mustard
2 tsps Worcester sauce
25g margarine
25g cornflour
1/2 pint of milk
Salt and pepper

Method:
Take a pie dish and spray lightly with oil. Melt Marg in a pan, stir in the cornflour. Take off heat and add the milk gradually, stirring as you go. Bring to the boil then lower the heat and cook for 3 minutes stirring all the time. Add all the other ingredients apart from the breadcrumbs. Pour into the pie dish and cover with the breadcrumbs. Bake in the oven at gas mark 5 for 20 minutes.

Vegetable and Corn Beef Casserole.

I took a casserole dish and put in a can of plum tomatoes, some broad beans, mushrooms, chopped spring onion, 1/4 pint of water, a beef stock cube and several dashes of worcester sauce.

Then I covered it and put it in a pre-heated oven at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes.

The resulting casserole tasted suspiciously like oxtail soup!! Yum! ;)

Potato Stirfry.

A very basic recipe. I used very thinly sliced potato, chopped cabbage, chopped spring onion, sliced mushrooms and whole cherry tomatoes. I fried them in a little oil with a drizzle of chicken stock and some worcester sauce. When the potato softens, it's ready to serve. I added a little rock salt and some black pepper.
