Family recipes...handed down to you

my mom’s potato salad, grandma’s breakfast of watermelon and pancakes rolled up with butter and apple butter, (to be eaten at the same time.), what recipe do you have from family?

You’re so lucky. My mum was a great cook but didn’t pass down any recipes’. My brother who worked for several years as a sous chef managed to work out instructions for this one.

here is the recipe, you need about five potatoes , left over lamb cut into small cubes , a lamb stock cube and a can of baked beans and one half of an onion also cut into small pieces. Then fry the lamb cubes and onion together for a few minutes to cook the onion then place these in an oven proof pyrex dish then dissolve the stock cube and pour onto the lamb and onion just covering them ,then open the can of baked beans and layer these on top of the lamb onion and stock cube ,then peel and boil the potatoes and make mashed potato when this is done place the mash on-top of the beans and lamb there will be enough liquid stock and juice from the beans to make a nice rich sauce in the pyrex dish ,now place the dish on an Oven tray and pop the dish into the oven on a medium heat till the potato goes nice and brown on top then take it out the oven and eat , i usually do green peas on the side which can be cooked in the microwave with a knob of butter , thats the recipe it is very easy to cobble together and the only hard part is peeling the spuds and chopping the onion and lamb it all mixes together to make a great gravy sauce and doesn’t’ take hours to prepare and cook , it is a lovely meal and real simple any leftover lamb will do just cut up any leftover lamb from the sunday joint you had before
