  • Beefy sauce

    Original recipe was to go with Swedish meatballs, but would probably go with steak and pork.

    Ingredients

    • 500ml boiling water
    • Beef stock pot
    • 1tsp Dijon mustard
    • 1tsp soy sauce
    • 40g cream cheese
    • Parsley

    Method

    • You probably just used a pan to cook some meat. Use that one and scrape up all the meaty bits as you go along.
    • Add water to the stock pot, mix it up a bit
    • Pour it in the pan
    • Add mustard and soy sauce, mix it up a bit
    • Let it bubble and reduce a bit for a few minutes
    • Add the cream cheese and parsley
    • Let it bubble a bit more
    • Reduce it to whatever thickness you want
    • Pour it on your food
  • Courgetti

    Yes, the day I wrote this was a sad day.

    Ingredients

    • Courgettes

    Method

    • Spiralise
    • Don’t add salt
    • Spread it out over a plate
      Single layer if possible, so not in a bowl, and not covered
    • Microwave for 60 seconds. No more.
    • Squeeze
      Ideally wrung out in a tea towel. Hands will do otherwise.
      Objective is to get as much water out as possible.
    • Add it to your dish/sauce/whatever.
