I love to cook, I just don't often get the chance.
Damn Uni.
Anyway, heres a really simple recipe for mince and tatties. Simple as hell but possibly one of the most flavoursome meals ever.
Beef or Lamb mince
Half a small onion
Small - Medium sized carrot
2 Decent sized Potatoes
~3 teaspoons of gravy granules
In a small pot brown your mince, I prefer lamb personally but its all up to what you like/have. Dice the onion and peel+slice the carrot. Once the mince is browned, add the onion and carrot and immediately top up with boiling water [yay kettle] to roughly half an inch above the dry ingredients, set to a medium heat, cover and simmer for an hour.
While thats happening you want to peel and slice potatoes into 1-1.5 inch chunks, place in a saucepan, cover with lightly salted water and boil for ~15 minutes or until cooked. Drain and mash to your liking [milk+butter etc].
Once the stock/mince has been on for about an hour, add the gravy granules, mix well and then serve by pouring over the potatoes.
Adjust accordingly for amount of people served.
God damnit I'm in the mood for that now. So good.
