CORNED MEAT

Corned Silverside
Water
Brown Sugar (½ cup)
Vinegar (½ cup)
Mixed Herbs
Bay Leaves
Onion

Place meat in pot large enough to cover completely with water. Add Herbs, Bay Leaves, sugar, vinegar and chopped onion. Bring water to boil then reduce heat so water just simmers. For each kilogram weight of meat cook for 1 hour. Turn stove off approx. 20 minutes before the end of cooking time, but leave meat in water until ready to serve. Wrap in alfoil to refrigerate.

* you can add vegetables (carrot, potato, sweet potato, etc) to the pot around 1/2 an hour before it's finished.

Nanna's Rissoles

Ingredients
500g mince
1 onion
2 eggs
Mixed herbs to taste
Salt to taste
2 dessertspoons corned relish

Method
Mix all ingredients together well. Form into rissoles and roll in plain flour (if you only have S.R. flour or cornflour this will do). Cook slowly in frying pan, turning once, with enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan approx ½ cm

(Hint: Wet your hands before you form rissoles and then dry them before you roll them in the flour. You can use any left over flour to make GRAVY – drain excess oil from pan and put on low heat, sprinkle pan with flour and salt, stir flour around to mix with oil left in pan, add water – not too much to start with, if the gravy is too thick you can always add more water, stir out lumps and slowly bring to boil. Strain the gravy if lumpy)

Macaroni Beef

This is one from Nanna:

Ingredients
500 grams minced steak
125 grams chopped ham or bacon
2 beef cubes or 2 teaspoons beef stock powder
1 onion
1 cup uncooked macaroni
¼cup capsicum
140 gram tub pizza sauce
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 cups water

METHOD

Fry diced onion and bacon, add minced steak, capsicum, curry, pizza sauce, beef cubes and water. Simmer until mince is cooked. Add cooked macaroni.

(Hint: If you like you can also throw in some vegetables. Frozen works well. You can also top with cheese and throw in the oven for a few minutes. Mmmm... It makes enough for more than one meal so freeze any leftovers and it makes a quick fast dinner if you are busy)
