Hillonearth Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I quite like sausage or chicken casserole, but it's one of those kinds of food that's redolent of the 1970s , in the same vein as chicken supreme, prawn cocktail or Toast Toppers are. Speaking of weird 70s food, I got a shock a wee while back when I was in a B&M or something like that and saw Vesta curry still for sale - I was almost tempted to buy one for an evening of school-dinner regression - I thought they had long since gone the way of Tudor crisps and Heinz London Grill.

The world's been making casseroles for thousands of years. Seems a bit unfair to consign them to the 70s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff like Irish Stew. Coq au Vin. The forementioned sausage casserole is king of them all though. Anyone that says they have no flavour has simply not eaten well. Flavour comes from simple steps; browning then deglazing, adding a good quantity of wine or beer, and decent stock, good quality meat, veg and herbs. Most of all taking time and cooking slowly. If you put shit in you get shit out. Another mistake is to use the wrong cut of meat. It is not the expensive cuts of meat that make the best casserole. Mind you - if you don't cook the cheap cuts for long enough - then you can learn to play the trumpet with your ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxtail, cheek, shin and short rib all employed. Basically cooked all day, but we'll worth it compared to a faster cook with more expensive cuts.

The_Kincardine Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Pointless thread? I make a beef or chicken casserole at least once a week. Why ever not? It's a good way of cooking cheap meat cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
