If that were an Olympic event I'd be in with a chance for a medal.
Rummaging through the freezer amongst the almost empty bags of frozen veg I found a pack of pork mince.
I had an onion donated by a friend weeks ago and a cupboard with assorted jars of spicey things.
So defrosted the pork, heated the chopped onion in a large pot with a little oil, mixed in some breadcrumbs, an egg, salt, pepper and ginger powder and then cooked the mix until a decent brown colour.
Added half pint of beef stock, a splash of sweet chilli sauce, and after removing the sweetcorn that SWMBO dislikes from the frozen veg, the peas, carrots green beans were added and simmered for half an hour.
Placed in a pie dish, I allowed it to cool whilst pressure cooking a large Maris Piper potato to create mash. This I placed on the top of the mix with grated mature cheddar to finish.
Placed in the oven at 200°c for 20 minutes the result was a visual masterpiece. Tasted good too.
Has to be Piggy Pie I suppose. Any suggestions for improvement on this hit and miss recipe?

Well, I guess it all depends on what you have in at the time! I think if I was doing that, I would have left out the beef stock and sweet chilli sauce, and perhaps added a chopped apple and/or some apple juice, to complement the pork flavour. A large dollop of mustard would be nice too.
Well done on being creative with what you had.
learning to love veg…..except celery :-O

Chopped up broccoli, red onion, a limp yellow pepper, 1/2 a lurking courgette, a chopped up sweet potato on its last legs and some char grilled red pepper found in the pantry, stir fried with some hoisin and garlic sauce (found in the pantry ) served on top of some boiled brown rice. Yummy! And vegan!

Thank you for the compliment but somehow do not think I would get past the first Post! ?

You have heard about my wood burning Esse then ? when that is not lit I am reduced to a halogen oven and a two plate free standing thingy! Amazing what you can create with just the basics.
