Pete's Recipe Book

Hi Miss mooey.
I haven't tried using real mash as I find that it's easier to use the instant stuff! The only thing with real mash is to try making a slightly dry mix rather than a smooth mix so that it should hold together better, I sometimes add herbs that have been cut into about 1cm lengths to help bind together, good luck, send us some pics if you try it so that more can share it!

Hi Pete

Your recipes are amazing and this thread is so useful. My H2B and I love the spicy creole jambalya.
Regarding the above recipe just wondering what chicken you use? You have put chicken cajun but i'm not sure what this is.

Also a couple of your recipes use ASDA smart price macaroni cheese, is this tinned, fresh or frozen?

Thanks

Thank you once again Pete, dinner for tomorrow sorted.
 
Hi Sweet Temptation.
Chicken cajuns are small strips of chicken pre-prepared, usually sold in supermarkets, good if you dont want to spend time cutting chicken!
Asda smart price macaroni cheese is a cheap tin of macaroni cheese that you liquidize to make a cheesy sauce.

Thanks for the tip on the macaroni Pete,I have never thought of doing that :)
