Cooking with Bruce

Fine. I'll give you the recipes. By popular demand, last night and tonights dinner recipes. Can be made in one sitting as the curry improves flavour overnight.

Empanadas
This is the quick version so use bought savoury pastry.
Peel and chop into small cubes 2-3 potatoes, boil til soft (ish).

Heat oil in pan, add 1 finely chopped onion, 2t chopped garlic, 1 red chilli, cook until fragrant. Add some tomato paste (or mexican sauce stuff - I'd made some and had it in the freezer), more chilli, 1 tin mixed beans, 1T gnd cumin. Mix and heat.
Anything else you can think of throw in there (prawns are nice, as is cheese), add roughly chopped tomato, half of the cooked potato. Let cool down a bit.

Take pastry, split sheet in half, put mixture in there, and seal up sides. Yeah can do the fancy arrangements, but meh. Cook in 190C oven until brown.
Serve with green salad, sour cream, etc.

Mushroom and pea curry
Fry thinly cut onion with 2t garlic, 2t ginger. Add 1 tin of tomatoes, 1t tumeric, 1t chilli, 2t cumin, stir and fry until oil separates. Add mushrooms (lots!!) chopped roughly, cook until water absorbed (ish), add 0.5-1c peas, and leftover potato. Add coriander just before serving.

Serve with rice.

Love, me.
