I’ve got some mince which I took out of the freezer yesterday to cook. Normally, when I cook with mince it’s a case of either chilli or spaghetti bolognese. Imaginative, huh? I once made home-made burgers too, which were nice, but given the slight level of faffiness compared with simply opening a packet of Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference UltimoBurgers, it’s not something I’m likely to do often.
I decided I wanted to do something different on this occasion, so my first thought was to ask on Twitter – expecting just a couple of answers.
- @isemann suggested bobotjie,
- @iskandarv and @ladyspooks suggested enchiladas,
- @pureartifice suggested Thai noodles with beef mince and lemon grass and lime leaves and chilli,
- @dianebrewster suggested with mushroom, vegetables, tomato, paprika, served with rice and yoghurt – and calling it Hungarian,
- @theaardvark suggested Yuk Sung,
- @bryonyevens suggested Shah Pilaf – onion, mince, raisins, orange zest, and rice,
- @pezholio, @natmandu, and @andyderrickmus suggested cottage pie,
- @mikelcu suggested mousaka, lasagne, and shepherd’s pie,
- @graphiquillan suggested stuffed peppers,
- and I’ve also thought of meat and potato pie.
Who would have thought there were so many possibilities of how to cook mince!
Keema style and the spicy meat ball.
Shepherd’s Pie for the record is made from Lamb (sheep/shepherd geddit?)
Ooh stuffed peppers, that’s a good one.
Great post.
R!
He didn’t specify which mince. It could have been beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, pork or ….
@Mike
On the original tweet I think he said beef, we certainly all assumed it was anyway.
Like the man in Dr Scholl slippers, I stand corrected however
