[Bernadette and mum]

Thankyou Bernadette and Mum. I have made mushy pea curry but it was ok . I know there are different recipes , so yes i would be grateful if you could write down yours.
Quick question - do you add the juice of the spaghetti also ?

Have to get some tikka curry powder :0)

Mushy pea curry:
-1 tin baked beans
-1 tin tomatoes
-1 tin mushy peas
-curry powder

Mix all together and heat in a saucepan. I prefer to mix it up a bit because it was a bit boring for me!

Yes you do, hope you enjoy it haha!

I do this with chilli powder and kidney beans too for a speedy chilli. Both ways are delicious!

In a saucepan sweat the onion, chilli, ginger & pepper until they are soft, add the tomatoes, sweetener & tabasco, bring to the boil & cook for a few minutes then reduce to a simmer for 30 mins, remove from the heat and roughly chop with a hand processor to a paste.
Cook the mushrooms until soft, set aside.

Ooh can I have the burger recipe and method for the food processor please.

I dont measure recipes so basically its
half a pack of extra mince mince (250g)
2 small red onions,
tsp of garlic powder,
someone said to me they sometimes put a baby bel inside!
I also put a few splashes of worcester sauce in.

added my onions to the blender while it was on, whizzed til in pieces, then added the mince in 2 seperate bits, then added the garlic powder and then the sauce. Whizzed for about a minute, it looked like tuna haha but it tasted so good! and i think without the egg like i normally do it tasted much fresher and better

I just put some more in, i added bacon into the whizzer today, along with onions and italian herbs.. And obv worcester cos i put it in everything haha..

I once read about how you shape them, like you would if you were trying to make a bun shape with dough.. and then put them on the tray (i always put tin foil down) and then you make an indentation in the middle of the burger, not a lot.. but apparantly it stops it from losing shape. I did this yesterday and they didnt lose shape at all.. just plumped up. I do think a lot of it had to do with how well it was "binded" haha not a read word i think but still.. because it was so together in the first place it didnt fall apart like normal.
