I know. I don't have a problem with coriander as much, but it's certainly not one of my favorites.

Dinner tonight is a huge plate full of catfish nuggets, potato salad and slaw from the most popular joint in town for that kind of fare... fish friday, a pretty cool tradition, even if you're not Catholic.

LMAO oh Heavens no, they're not even in the same galaxy as the ladies that run the kitchen in this place I ordered from... I actually had some LJS two weeks ago, and regretted it the rest of the day and into the next day.

Meatloaf, Ashlie's potatoes (that's what all our friends call them) green beans with bacon, dinner rolls

Salad! Just ****ing salad!

First time I put stew on mashed potatoes, but will do again. I used both my iron skillet and the pressure cooker on this one and was able to generate great flavors and tender meat in less than 90 minutes. Only thing I would change is to season the meat more before browning it.

Reminds me of my mother's mince and tatties. I usually only eat it when she visits or I'm visting her though, because it's very calorie-dense.

Quote:

500g (1 1/4 lb) steak mince (butcher's mince only)
2 large onions, chopped
1 teaspoon mixed herbs
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Coleman's mustard
2 large carrots, chopped
dash Worcestershire sauce
dash Tabasco Sauce
1 teaspoon Bisto granules
2 to 4 potatoes, peeled and diced
good knob butter

In a large frying pan over medium heat, brown the mince along with the onions, mixed herbs, salt, pepper and mustard.

Once the mince is browned, cover with water and add the chopped carrots, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco. Add more salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Leave to simmer for about an hour and a half, partially covered. I find that the longer you simmer the mince the more tender it will be.

Mix in Bisto powder and cook a further 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place the peeled and diced potatoes into a saucepan with water to cover, and place on high heat to boil for 10 to 15 minutes, until tender. Drain and mash with butter and salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon mince onto plates and top with mash. Serve immediately with brown sauce and peas, if desired.

ROFL I love the fact that you say what I think so consistently in this thread.

Mince?
Bristo granules?
Can I use Dijon instead of Coleman's?
How much is a good knob?

Mince is just ground beef.

Bisto: http://www.amazon.com/Bisto-Favourit.../dp/B000EZWJP0 (although my mother never used it)

Not sure on the mustard or the butter. Here is a more specific recipe:

Honestly it isn't real complicated. The key ingredients are the beef, onion and carrot. I think my mom also used bits of turnip in hers. I'm going to e-mail her.

Pro tip: if you brown onions and then cook them for 15 minutes in a pressure cooker, they essentially dissolve leaving all the flavor without any texture.

Speaking of pressure cookers, another thing my mom used to make that I miss is split pea and ham soup. I always liked hearing the "steam engine" sound the pressure cooker used to make. Just like this:

Ah, the old metal pressure cooker. Good times, good times...
