cheap meal idea
came up with this cheap meal idea. from tesco i got a bag with 2 onions 1 leek 1 swede and some carrots for 99p. from asda a ready roasted plain medium chicken for about 2.60 and a tin of new potatoes for 17p and about 20p on a clove of garlic
get a big sausepan. dice half of the swede and half of one onion. 1 whole carrot and the leek. boil them all down in the big sausepan. i added two sections of the garlic peeled and crushed. a pinch of mixed herbs and half of the chicken with the skin removed.and half the tin of potatoes drain off the water it was boiled in and add gravey powder. put in the fridge to settle down. i got 4 good portions out of this.
using the other half of the veg and a cheap packet of mince for 63p. make mince stew. about another 4 portions.
8 portions of a main course for a bout 5 quid
