My Wise Main Meal (Including Gravy/Sauce) Recipes

[systema]

This looks lovely ladies! Must try it! X

You really must - it was lovely and cheap to make especially a meal for 4 people.
Thinking about it should have put some jacket potatoes in with it as it did take a little more time than the recipe suggested and will have it with salad and dressing next time.
A 5* in my book - my kind of food.

Glad you enjoyed it- yours looks just like mine lol .
I was wondering about getting the Phillips Airfryer thing as it sounds fab - but a bit expensive and I don't know if I have the room!!

We have had the Actifry for a couple of years and really like it - my hubby ( 5ft 6" and 64kgs) uses it more than I do as he likes chips with anything and he puts about half of the oil they recommend and his chips are brilliant but the S.W. with the spray are - IMO - awful - would rather have a jacket.
We live in a smallish flat and keep the Actifry in a living room cupboard along with all the other gadgets we have. The only things on our kitchen work surface are the toaster - Jamie Oliver electric pressure cooker and my "can't live without" Vitamix which has to be the buy of my life.

I think it was a mix of the two to be honest! Lol
I was feeling lazy so bought some smoked salmon, added it to some Philly, added salt and pepper and mixed it in with some spaghetti.

I now see why you had the extra step of adding the stock etc as it was exceptionally dry. The actual taste was lovely though.

Next time I'll do as I'm told lol

Thanks again x
