Sorry if you are feeling a bit nervous about it Ann..........i was joking and it was fine honestly.

COUGH

WHO'S GOT STUCK

Hi

Just been reading this thread. Do love your humour. Hope you don't mind me butting in.

Saw you were having thoughts about a veggie meal.

When we eat out here and we've had local dishes, which have a high meat content, we sometimes don't want a meat meal the day after.

I have come up with a very simple meal that can be easily made. I have adapted it for when we have cold meat over.

For 2 people

Small amount of butter or oil
Mixed herbs (to taste)
Garlic to taste
120gms or 1/4 lb mushrooms
1 tin of tomatoes
1 tin beans - butter beans or best we've found is fagioli beans
Splash of red wine to taste
gravy granules to thicken at last minute

tin size about 400 gms

Melt butter in saucepan, add herbs and garlic, cook for about 1 minute, put in mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, wine and beans, bring to the boil, cook for 10 minutes. Add gravy granules to thicken. Meal ready

I serve with either fresh crusty bread or garlic bread. You can add salad if you wish but we find it very filling.

Variations

You can add onions and sweat them off before adding mushrooms. Onions done like this give OH indigestion so I use onion gravy granules at the end. A chile can be added at this stage to pep it up.

You can add meat. Cooked chicken is nice with it, I add any cold meat when it has just come to the boil and cook for 15 minutes. Cooked sausages cut up into bite size chunks are very good.

If you seperated a portion after it comes to the boil and continued to cook it you could add meat to the rest and continue cooking. Sausage can be added to both portions as your DIL could have veggie ones.

Sausages can be pre cooked and then the meal would only require 2 saucepans.

Hope you find this useful as we enjoy it.

Prickly, if you,re having problems, just sling them over your shoulders and put you bra on back to front to keep them there,it will also act as cushioning when you lie down,(But not too far )just in case you have trouble getting up again, :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-S

Pat

Where were you Pat? Akrotiri? Spent some time there in the 50s. :-S

PAT
NICE TO MEET YOU

Hi Merlin

Was at Akrotiri for about 2 weeks, then sent up the road to Episkopi, stayed there until I married in 71 and was sent to the families dental centre at Limassol, also did trips to capital due lack of dental cover at RAF Nicosia, they were running it down.

Our son was born at the hospital at Akrotiri 73, built after your time. Assume you were a National Serviceman here at time of EOKA.

Not the best time to be on the island.

Pat

Hello Pat, Dizzi and Merlin :-D

Merlin, weren't you just a young laddie in the 50's?

Likewise Dizzi
