Simple and yummy @Shaz51. 🙂
Doing easy here, but with some... ummm.... luxury touches??
The supermarket had some venison burgers reduced to half price today, so I've added some precooked borlotti beans (bought "reduced to clear") that I whizzed up to a chunky puree with an egg and some herbs in the blender. Mixed that with the venison burgers and some salt and pepper. Pulled out the reduced really cheap bocconcini that I had sitting in the fridge, divided the beany venison into four potions and shaped each one around a ball of bocconcini. They're in the oven with a little bit of homemade plum sauce on top. Once they've cooked a bit, I'll put in a trayful of the very reduced price parsnips I bought yesterday, and drizzle them with the truffle infused olive oil that a friend gave me as a Christmas gift, but which really needs to get used up before it gets too old... and I'll cook the homegrown sugar snap peas briefly when the rest is nearly ready.
Dunno... us poor folks gotta make do with what we gots. 😛 I'm not sure where I'd be without the markdown section of the supermarket! Whole meal is going to be less than $10 for three of us, and I expect there may be leftovers. Anyone else here a bargain basement gourmet?
