Cheats Casserole

Cheats Casserole recipe - Eat well on Universal CreditCheats because we didn't have 4 hours to spare so Sue accelerated the cooking time – see below.... We raided the local Polish Deli and happened across some Kielbasa Jalowcowa which is a type of Polish sausage, usually served as a cold cut. It is made from cuts of lean pork seasoned with pepper, allspice, coriander, and garlic, packed into large casings, and smoked.

2 Potatoes pealed, cubed
2 Carrots sliced
¼ of a Swede pealed, cubed
½ a Celeriac pealed, cubed
1 handful of Mushrooms sliced
¼ of a white Cabbage sliced
4 Polish smoked Sausages
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
½ a tube of Tomato purée
1 Red Onion sliced
1 White Onion sliced
 
Seasoning:-
 
Mixed herbs
Paprika
Chilli flakes
Garlic salt
Black Pepper
2 cloves of Garlic minced
 
Method:-
 
(1) Parboil all the vegetables in salted water.
(2) Place the vegetables in a casserole dish and reserve the salted water.
(3) Add the Onions to the water and season with the Herbs, Garlic salt.
(4) Add the tinned Tomatoes and Tomato Purée and add the mushrooms

Southern style Battered Chicken Wraps

This sliced Chicken breast was the princely sum of £1.49 for 500g in my favourite discount fridge. But not all things are what they appear. It was very thinly sliced and a bit raggedy looking really. Not a problem - batter it!

We did have a few Gluten free Breadcrumbs in the fridge but not quite enough, so improvisation was required…..

Batter ingredients:-

2 Eggs, whisked
Breakcrumbs (Gluten free for us)
2 bags of Crisps, bashed about to within seconds of their lives! (Flavour of your choice)
Plain Flour (Gluten free for us)
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Turmeric (For colour)
Cornflour, for dredging

Method:-

(1) Mix the batter ingredients.
(2) Cut the Chicken into suitable sized pieces.
(3) Dredge in the Cornflour.
(4) Coat in the batter mix.
(5) Fry in small batches and drain on kitchen paper.

We used a little salad in the wraps and Mayonnaise. Served with the remaining salad, home made Coleslaw and hand cut chips this was actually quite a filling and quick meal.
