Menu Week: 2 - 6 August!
Monday:
Beef Casserole: Using brisket, I brown with 1 onion finely diced and 2 sticks celery. To that I add 3 carrots chopped up in nice big chunks and 4 potatoes halved.Add bay 2leaves, 1 tsp italian dried herbs, salt, pepper and a big spoon of sugar. Make up 1lt of beef stock and add to the browned meat and veg. Transfer to the oven and slowly cook at 180degrees C until all the juices have infused and the meat and veg are tender. Serve with rice and seasonal veg. I like to serve with butternut...my boys favourite!
Tuesday:
Crumbed Pork Chops with a delicious peach salsa that I found here: http://southernfood.about.com/od/salsarecipes/r/r70728f.htm
I buy pork loin chops...dip in spiced flour, egg then fresh breadcrumbs then fry until golden brown on both sides. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with the Peach Salsa.
