Cooking on a Budget: The Batch Lady - The Works

I definitely want to save on plastic so will take my own container to my local butcher to get the mince.I’m new to batch cooking! I’ve decided to explore it to save money and time as well as have less waste. While the stew is cooking, make the dumplings. Combine the flour, salt, suet and parsley in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Make a well in the centre and add six tablespoons of cold water, then use your hands to bring everything together to form a dough, adding a couple more tablespoons of water if the mixture is too dry. Once you have a smooth dough, turn out onto a lightly floured surface and cut in half, then cut each half into quarters, leaving you with eight equal-sized pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a ball with your hands and set aside. Bolognese sauce or Chilli – tip into a saucepan and stir over a medium heat or heat in a microwave oven until piping hot. If you are making spaghetti bolognaise, you will need chopped onions, mince and grated carrots. You also need those ingredients to make, burgers, meatballs, chilli, fajitas and lasagne: one large pot of veg and mince will serve as a base for six different dishes.
