Agriv8 180-200 deg (fan oven) set the timer for 1 hour.............the spinach needs a bit of pepper&salt....rekon they would work ok for pheasant...fry them off with any skin or fat from the bird...lay them in the casserole dish...mix the stock cube up with a mug ful of boiling water and pour it into the pan with the fried onion...simmer for a couple of mins and add to the casserole dish.....and top up with some more boiling water from the kettle until it is nearly covered......chuck inthe oven for an hour and dont fiddle with it..it will be fine 9 minutes ago, billytheghillie said: Look like red kidney beans. yup ordinary red kids' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 I have been reading up on some of your creations and even though some are not to my liking with having a delicate stomach I must say your cooking skills are way above my level , I do have a go at Shepherds Pie and various bits and pieces but going past or coming past M + S more or less every day I do tend to buy there meals for one , or if it for two then I have the other half a couple of days later , mind you I am on our beaters day tomorrow and I did buy a couple of packets of M + S sandwiches tonight that had been reduced so what I leave my dog will soon finish them off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I may try that but with one change.........don't like kidney beans. Substitute red kids for black beans, or maybe (drained) baked beans.

Going to try it with 3 thighs (cos I'm a pig) and (KTC) chick peas. But whatever used, it looks to be a good "one pot meal." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I found the whole dish bland. Adding some salt and pepper on the plate helped a bit but still not great. I ate half of it because I hate waste and I was hungry. To the leftovers I've added some madras curry powder, to fester over night and will finish it off for lunch today. May be that my tastes are jaded after years of abuse. It reminds me of those tea infusion thingys......smells really nice but tastes insipid. After all of the above, I WILL try it again (as it's easy) but next time I'll try some 'erbs and spices.

Robden Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Yep, sure did. Even an oxo chicken stock cube. Probably just my taste buds. Finished it off for yesterday's lunch (with madras powder in) and it was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
