HOW TO MAKE A LITTLE GO A LONG WAY

Money short or you get unexpected guests, here are some handy hints on how to make ingredients go a bit further -

Eggs

Make them into an omelette or scramble them adding vegetables, cheese and/or poultry.
Fish Cut up, stir-fry with vegetables or mix with spicy rice
Noodles Add leftover vegetables and diced meats.
Mince Add breadcrumbs, grated courgette, carrot, and/or marrow. Rice, pasta, onion, green pepper, dried peas, beans or lentils.
Fill cannelloni tubes with a mince mixture.
Put mince mixture into a pie dish and top with mashed potatoes.
Make pancakes, fill with mince mixture and roll up.
Make circles out of pastry, put mince mixture in centre, brush edges with egg or milk and fold over (in half form a semi-circle).   Bake in oven.
  Fry onion, add mince, add boiling water, stock and then to thicken add some porridge oats (oatmeal).  These oats absorb the flavours of the gravy and take on the same consistency of the meat, also adding an interesting nutty taste.  It also reduces the amount of meat required.
