Hotpot with grounded meat
Moving lockers, masking doors and windows, mixing colours – hungry! Fried potatoes were requested but time too short. Fortunately 0.5lb grounded meat and a pot of steam vegetables (peas, carrots and Indian corn) were available. Cook the vegetables in your microwave and sear the meat in a seperate frying pan. Cut some potatoes, 4 shallots, a red pepper and a smoked sausage left over yesterday. Mix with meat one after the other starting with shallots followed by potatoes, pepper and sausage. Then add 0.5 lq.qt beef stock and let cook for about 20 minutes until potatoes are done. Take off some pieces of potato, scrunch them with a fork and return them into the hotpot for thickening. Now flavour with salt, pepper and a dash of chilli powder. For serving spread some Italian parsley on top.
The craftsmen got some toasted bread with it and afterwards hands make light work.
You may also cook this hotpot with leek, zucchini or kidney beans according to the remains of your fridge or storage cellar.
