Hairy flan.

My first hairy recipe. I tried doing 4 small ones but the Yorkshire pudding tin was too small. So I made 4 small knees and a medium one. Swapped onion for leek as we've got loads left over.

I like the sound of 4 small knees @carieoates. Can you come over and make my knees small please?

Gawd.....yes I could have a go for you @pennyforthem.

Just lost my post again...what's happening?!

Anyway, just made the Hairy egg, bacon and asparagus flan. Deeelishious

Bean's verdict:

Easy to make and very tasty (although I would have preferred to have it on a feast day...so I could,have more! )

Bean

Made the Beef Stroganoff (but forgot to take a pic) and spiced it up a bit = delicious! it all went, John got the most since he certainly don't need to much low cal And The DH and me had almost no rice.

Think I will do the meatloaf tomorrow.

Oh shame there's no photo @Wolfie. So, you'd recommend the stroganoff? Is it easy to make? I liked the meatloaf but just make sure you season it well. I felt it lacked a bit of oomph but the sauce was lovely and spicy!

Enjoy xx

Yup, it's easy to do but as I said I spiced it up: chili powder (not hot), sweet paprika powder, Chili Explosion (St.Maria spice brand) really a lot of fresh ground black pepper and some raw suger (yeah horror - heh?). Instead of a cube, I used Fond du Chef Beef. Take care with adding salt due to the stock cube/Fond du Chef.

I don't think I have come across a recipe that I haven't spiced up one way or the other

If Penny's having two of the small knees @carieoates may i have the other two..i have fat knock knees so i am a desperate case! X

The flan looks really nice - haven't done that one yet. Lots of asparagus around at the moment so may give it a try. Looks like it would be nice with some salad

Yes @Lil I had it with salad. I got asparagus spears...saves throwing away the stalks

Yes I'm happy to start a new line in small knees. Will send out an Application form in the post.

@Wolfie

What spices did you add ? I have made this but found it a bit bland.

@nursebean
Looks very, very nice. My daughter liked it too, she's actually had more than me.
What's next Beany?

Look at the 5th (or is it 6th??) post above where I listed what I added. Made all the difference You can even add a dash of Tabasco or pinch of Cayenne powder. We like it hot!

Ladies

Just seen this thread so forgive me if this question has already been asked but which book are these recipes actually from ? They all look really yummy

Looking to get this book at the weekend.
