Rugby Food
Rugby life has returned so quick meals or should I say picky items is what is required on rugby days.
Our butcher had venison sausages earlier this month and they have now been removed from the freezer. Also retrieved a kilo of pork sausage meat. I also retriedved some beautiful streaky bacon slices which I had totally forgotten about..Vegetables next. Having picked up beautiful onions, a selections of mushrooms and sweet peppers I think I have the makings of a selection of savoury pastries which can be served hot or cold.
On a cold winters day there is nothing like a mug of tea and a pastry.
So three batches of short crust pastry….My back will not allow me to make puff pastry.
I prefer to cook my vegetables first before putting them in pastry. So some of that onion, mushroom and peppers will be slow cooked on a dry pan. I prefer to cook them all separately and then mix them with various herbs and spices to make a differnt range of vegetable pastries.
The streaky rashers will be roasted in the oven on a trivet so that they become nice and crispy. They will roast while the sausage and venison rolls are baking. Then the vegatable rolls which will not take as along.
But what condiments or sauces. I have found left over cumberland sauce, cranberry sauce so if I gently heat them and pehaps add a little chilli I think it would make a nice dipping sauce.
Yes, that is self sevice meals organised for Rugby Saturday.
