Exercise for today

  • Jun. 28th, 2008 at 4:48 PM
sleepy
As I couldn't sleep, I got up at 3am, after an hour on the 360, I decided to walk the dogs.

I drove them to an old quarry about 5 mins away, I let the dogs off  and then spent an hour and a half walking around the quarry trying to find them.

It was amazing, the dawn chorus was kicking off, saw some bunnies and a deer.

I was feeling energetic so I climbed up the side of the quarry, paying for it now as my sciatic nerve is kicking off :O(

Will have to see how i feel tomorrow.

I am gonna post a yummy recipe everyday

Todays is

Veggie Cottage Pie

 ( for meat eaters use lean beef mince and regular bisto)

For a taste of some hearty home cooking, this dish is perfect. Serve with any amount of vegetables of your choice, and a little vegetarian gravy (Bisto now do vegetarian gravy granules).

 

Serves 4 | Prep 40min | Cooking 20min

305 calories per serving

Ingredients

  • Vegetarian Mince, Realeat 300g
  • Carrots, Young, Raw, Fresh 3 Med/183g
  • Onions, Raw 1 Med/90g
  • Sunflower Oil 1 Tbsp/15ml
  • Gravy Granules, Vegetarian, Bisto 2 Servings/56g
  • Potatoes, White, British 200g
  • Margarine, Light, Flora 25g
  • Milk, Semi Skimmed 30ml
  • Garlic, Very Lazy, English Provinder Co 1 Tsp/3g ( or mustard)
  • Pepper, Black, Ground 2 Tsp/4g

Method

  1. Peel potatoes and bring to boil in a pan of water.
  2. Peel and dice carrots and onions into small pieces, heat oil in a pan and sauté gently for a few minutes.
  3. Drain oil from pan and add veggie mince and water (as directed on packet) and place back on heat. Stir in a little garlic,( i use mustard instead) and a pinch of pepper and let simmer.
  4. Turn on oven to 190°C
  5. When potatoes are nearly cooked for mashing, add 2 Tbsp. vegetarian gravy granules to mince and stir continuously for a few minutes while it thickens.
  6. Drain potatoes. Add margarine and splash of milk and mash until very smooth and creamy!
  7. Using an oven proof dish, empty mince into bottom and tap dish on side a few tomes to settle mixture.
  8. Very gently, and not in large lumps as they will sink, using a spoon and fork spread your very creamy mash completely over surface.
  9. Put pie into oven. Your pie shouldn't need very long... just until your wisps of mash start to brown slightly at the tips.
  10. Serve and enjoy! I find this dish great with a selection of 2-3 steamed vegetables.
