Meat & potato loaf
Again this was a dish I cobbled together, using the remains of a joint of beef, a few spuds and some odds and sods hanging about in the fridge – it tasted the business. I spiced it up so it has a North African breeze to it and if you have a food processor it takes no time to prepare. The barbeque/tomato sauce that covers the top also is quick & easy to prepare and helps to give the dish a tangy finish. If you have no cooked beef or pork then mince will do the job but ultimately will be adding extra costs to your food budgets.
