help on pork casserole x

[rainyncadiebell]

hi girls can i pick your brains as i "used" to cook all my casseroles with a cookin sauce or packet so ive got my pork and veggies.....help what else do i do?? xxx

A couple of stock cubes, some herbs (sage is good with pork) and a bit of water. Salt and pepper if you like.
I never use packets or jars. Add a tin of tomatoes if you like a richer sauce. If you want the sauce thickening then you need to syn some gravy granules or cornflour but I just keep mine thin and use mash potato to soak up the juice!

I think Jaylou has said it all really! Lol

Yup, I do the same as Jaylou.

Sometimes I use blended boiled onions to thicken the 'gravy' slightly (boiling them loses a lot of the flavour so its not too onion-y), I've heard that some people use instant mash (if on an EE day) to thicken it too .... I've never tried that though.

I've checked the beef and chicken and they are free too.

The Stock Pots used to be 1 syn each for beef and 1.5 each for chicken or vegetable, but I think they were liberated in the recent Free Stock amnesty!!
