It ain't that fancy as your typical beef meat goulash, but it takes much less time to prepare and is a lot cheaper!
So, get your ingredients ready! For 4 people (or 0,5 epic meal time hosts) you need:
300g sauseges
one big onion
two average sized potatoes
some lard (or if you don't have it, oil... but lard is the daddy of bacon, so...)
2 spoons paprika powder (mild, not hot)
1 spoon whole cumin seeds
2 spoons flour
and some kind of cheese (spread) like Kiri - I don't know what they sell in your country, hater
So let's get kickin! Prepare some larger pot in which you'll make it all.
Cut them onions and potatoes and SAUSages into largish pieces
Get some of the delicious lard on the pot and melt it (obviously, the heat must be turned on for this!)
Throw in the onion and let it fry until it gets the nice golden hue.
Then, add the sausages and potatoes and let them fry a bit as well.
Leave it on the hot plate and stir for a minute, then add the flour - same procedure as last time, let the flour cover it all up.
And then, pour in some cold water - 3 cups should be enough.
Turn on the heat a bit, and let it all boil. Once it's hot, you may add the Kiri cheese and let it melt well- this will make the goulash thicker and more creamy, yummy!
Let it all boil until the potatoes are soft. The goulash shouldn't be like soup - if it doesn't thicken (that usually happens if there wasn¨t enough flour and/or too much water), you may add some potato starch melted in water to thicken it - just a little bit should help.
Once it reaches this color, it should be ready!
you ever given a guy an erection before? perhaps a food erection?
cross that off the list!

I made shepherds pie, dessert to come (Apple & Blackcurrant Crumble with homemade Custard)
Ingredients:
For the filling:
500g lambs mince
1 x onion
2 x carrots
2 x sticks of celery
1 x tbsp plain flour
1 x clove garlic
300ml vegetable stock
splash of Worcestershire sauce
seasoning
For the Topping:
900g potatoes
butter
splash of milk
Method:
I used to just boil the potatoes and then mash them. But someone cooked me sausage and mash and the potatoes were baked in the oven. It was the best sausage and mash I have ever tasted. So I used that technique for the mash in this recipe.
Put the potatoes in a baking dish, cover with a little oil and salt

and put in the oven for about an hour at 200c until they are fluffy on the inside.
Heat a little oil in a pan and brown the mince

Finely chop the carrots, onion and celery

Once the mince is browned, put it into a separate container and throw in the carrots, onion and celery, cook it with a little butter for about 5mins until it is soft then add the garlic.

Add and stir in the mince

Cook for another few minutes and then add the flour and vegetable stock.

Season it well and let simmer for about 10mins or until the stock becomes thick. Don't forget to add a splash of Worcestershire Sauce

Once the potatoes are cooked, mash them up with butter and a splash of milk

When the mince is ready, grease an ovenproof dish with butter and pour the mince into the dish
Attachment:
IMG_0283.jpg [ 134.54 KiB | Viewed 3996 times ]
Then spoon the mash on top
Attachment:
IMG_0284.jpg [ 111.17 KiB | Viewed 3996 times ]
You can grate some cheese on top if you like. I used Double Gloucester and Parmesan then sprinkled some Cayenne Pepper on top.

IMG_0285.jpg [ 140.87 KiB | Viewed 3996 times ]
Cook it in the oven at 180c for about 30 to 40 mins until the top is golden and crispy. Bon appetit!

Oooof! I think I am gonna have to give that Shepards Pie a whirl but I may have to trade the mince meat for Quorn as the missus isn't into red meat, would that work?
_________________ "this is what it has come to... watching unboxing videos and having a braingasm"
Yes it would work, but I've cooked with Quorn before and I found it very very bland and I ended up having to add a lot more salt. So good luck with that ^^

Put the milk, cream and vanilla pod into a saucepan and bring gently to the boil. I scraped the seeds out of the vanilla pod for more flavour and still put it all into the milk and cream

Pour the mixture slowly into the eggs, whisking constantly

Pre-heat your oven to 180c. Grease two 20cm sandwich tins
Attachment:

Combine the butter and sugar in a large bowl
Attachment:
VS2.jpg [ 156.15 KiB | Viewed 3629 times ]
and beat it hard (yeah baby) with a wooden spoon or an electric mixer until pale and fluffly.
Attachment:
VS3.jpg [ 199.04 KiB | Viewed 3629 times ]
Break the eggs into a bowl and add the vanilla extract. Beat the mixture lightly with a fork. With the mixer running on full speed add the egg mixture very slowly to the butter and sugar mix to prevent it from curdling.
Once all of the eggs are in, fold in the flour. The mixture should now be of a dropping consistency. Add some drops of water if it's too thick
Attachment:
VS6.jpg [ 157.22 KiB | Viewed 3629 times ]
Spoon the mixture into the sandwich tins and put them into the centre of the oven for about 20 or 30 minutes until well risen and golden brown. You can check they are cooked by sliding a knife into the centre of the sponge; the knife should come out clean.
After 20 to 30 minutes, remove from the oven and leave the sponges in the tins to cool for a couple of minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack and let to cool

Once cooled completely, spread jam onto one half and the whipped cream on the other. Sandwich together and dust the top with either icing sugar or caster sugar.
Now get yourself a nice cup of tea and have a slice of Victoria Sponge
