Multi tasking in the kitchen

For a change, I managed to organise myself enough to cook/bake several things to take advantage of the oven, it doesn't happen often but there you go.

On the hob I cooked a vegetable and chickpea curry:

We ate one bit for Saturday tea and froze the rest in 2 x 2 person servings.

Once the oven was on, I made a half batch of granola:

A joint of ham followed, we had some with mashed potato and the last of our dwarf green beans, alongside some 'wartime lobscouse sauce' for Sunday lunch:

No photo but the ham was followed by some plum crumble. Yum!

Wartime lobscouse sauce is easy to make and very tasty despite its looks:)

A small knob of butter is put into a saucepan*. Then 1oz of grated cheese per person is added, along with 1 tablespoon of milk per person and either 1 finely chopped fresh tomato (previously cooked in the butter until soft*) per person or 1 tinned tomato (chopped) per person.

Everything is gently simmered until the cheese is melted and poured over whatever you are eating.
