SpaceAngels Red Day Recipes

I though that I would start up my own thread with just red day recipes to try and help those who fancy a red day but are not sure what to have, so instead of posting loads of individual recipes, I will post them all on this thread.

I will take pics of each dish as and when I cook them!

To start off we have:-

Slow Cooked Creole Chicken Stew

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast fillets
salt and pepper to taste
Cajun seasoning to taste
1 (400g) tin chopped tomatoes
1 stalk celery, diced
1 green pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
100g (4 oz) mushrooms, sliced
1 fresh green chilli, seeded and chopped

1. Place chicken breasts in slow cooker. Season with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning to taste. Stir in tomatoes, celery, green pepper, garlic, onion, mushrooms and green chilli.
2. If you have a slow cooker, cook on Low for 10 to 12 hours, or on High for 5 to 6 hours, alterntively, cook at 180 degrees for approx 1.5 hrs.

Steak and Mushroom Pie

4.5 syns per serving on original (opps)
Serves 4

1 med onion, sliced
1 level tbsp cornflour
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper
284ml/1/2pt stock made from beef bovril
227g/8oz closed cup mushrooms
3 x 28g/1oz sheets filo pastry
1 med egg, beaten

Place the onion in a pan. Toss the steak in the cornflour and add it to the pan with the bay leaves and seasoning. Add the stock and about 142ml/1/4pt of water to just cover the beef. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 1.5hrs until the beef is tender. Cool and then discard the bay leaves.

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees/Gas 7. Quater the mushrooms and place in a 2 pint dish. Add the beef mixture using a slotted spoon, and pour over about 198ml/7floz of the cooking liquid to come halfway up the dish. The meat will come to the top but once the mushrooms cook down, the level will sink.

Brush each sheet of pastry with egg, lightly scrunch up and place on top of the meat, pulling the sheets out to make sure all of the meat is covered. Brush generously with the beaten egg and bake for 20 mins. Lower the heat to 180 degrees/Gas 4 and continue to cook for a further 20 mins.

You can also make this is 4 indivdual pie dishes.
