I’ve been making this since my boys could eat solids! and it’s still a favourite. Add carrot, celary, bell pepper if you wish, or tinned tomatoes in place of all or some of the soup. I really just make it with what I have or need to use. I also love the custard on mashed potatoes or pumpkin baked in the oven.
This is a dish we eat once or twice a month. For a change, you can cook sliced potatoes and sauteed onions in stock under the lamb. They get all those yummy garlicky juices dripping on to them.
Don’t be put off with large amount of garlic, this recipe is really full of flavour and has excellent sauce. I used on the bone chicken thigh cutlets because I think the chicken has much more flavour if it’s kept on the bone and it is much tender. The original recipe comes from ‘Taste of the Sun’ by Jacqueline Clark & Joanna Farrow but I twinkled with it to suit our family. If you don’t like a lot of salt in your diet you could use salt reduce liquid chicken stock but this will alter the flavour.
A tasty, nutritious and easy to prepare side dish, adapted from Sandy Frazer’s ‘Living Lite family recipes: delicious, healthy meals in 15 minutes’.
This is The Australian Traditional Meat pie! usually eaten for lunch for just watching the aussie rules footy. You can make 1 big meat pie or more little ones from this recipe!
