?..right I am getting bored of having pasta and stuff now so want some recipes that I can achieve with my limited cooking facilities / ability. At my disposal I have:

 

A gas hob

A microwave

Various pans

Frying pan and wok combo

A toaster

 

I potentially may have a slow cooker by the weekend and maybe a blender too

 

What can I make with all this?

Honestly, and with no piss-taking here, I've had to learn to cook for myself recently and things like casseroles and stews are a piece of piss - far easier than I ever thought they'd be.

 

As long as you've got meat, veg, stock cubes, salt and pepper then they're a piece of piss.

 

As NB has said, just google "easy recipes" and you can't go wrong.

chilli for 2 to 3

 

1 large onion

1lb lean minced beef

1/2 can tomato puree

1 can chopped tomatoes

1 can red kidney beans

2-3 teaspoons of chopped/crushed garlic (buy the ready mashed stuff)

1 stock cube

paprika (for colour)

1/2 to 1 red pepper

1 piece of dark chocolate (maybe 1 square inch). The high cocoa stuff is best.

2 or 3 teaspoons of extra hot chilli powder

 

 

- Chop the onion and fry it in oil on medium heat until caramelised (translucent/turning brown)

- throw beef in and brown it

- throw can of toms and can of beans in (undrained)

- add tom puree, garlic, red pepper, stock cube and the rest of it

- cook it with lid off until it has the desired consistency

 

 

I have a v large cooking pot and cook enough for 5-6. eat a couple and freeze the rest

 

best purchase I ever made

Im with Peter North.

 

Jamie Oliver gets some stick but some of his books are great, I also used his ministry of food book to add a load of good easy recipies to my repotiore. His curry recipes are easy and use Patacks Curry Paste buts its bang on.

First it's not buying your own undies, then it's not being able to cook. Blokes on this site are letting the side down.

 

Risotto is always a good option as you can lob what you like in there and freeze for later use.

 

Lamb shank is easy if you get a slow cooker. Use ours all the time.

Chilli

 

500g of minced beef

1 diced onion

As much garlic as you can hack, crushed

2 cans of kidney beans

2 cans of chopped tomatoes

300ml of chicken stock

half teaspoon of salt

half teaspoon of pepper

1 teaspoon of chilli powder

pinch of cayenne pepper

pinch of cumin

30g of dark chocolate. Tasty as FUCK!

Mushrooms and peppers

 

Brown the beef in a frying pan over a medium-high heat.

Remove the beef and set it aside in another pan or plate. Leave a some fat in the pan

Sweat the onion and garlic in the fat but turn the heat down so it doesn?t brown (sweat is basically cook on a low heat until the onion softens)

Whack the browned beef, onions and garlic, rinsed kidney beans, chopped tomatoes, chicken stock, spices and chocolate into a large deep pot, stir and let it simmer for an hour.

 

Serve with rice.

 

That makes me enough to eat at dinner for a week. You can freeze it or just bang it int fridge.

Micky's cooking tip.

 

Egg Fried Rice is a piece of piss provided you don't put the egg into the rice. Always scramble the egg into the wok/pan and add the rice and other stuff.
