The only meat I had in the refrigerator this evening was about 300 g of ground or minced beef. I also had some cabbage and mixed leaves which I’ve been using for lunches. Add to that some slivered almonds, pine nuts, various condiments, white wine, cream and cheese and I had dinner.
I like that some of the bits of beef look like little worms. If only they moved. Then it would be like eating Gagh. Apparently gagh is best eaten live

Sorry the parsley is out of focus. This was really nice. It had heat from the chili flakes, texture from the nuts, healthfulness from the greenery and manly happiness with red meat
This is the sort of meal anyone can just put together with stuff that is in the refrigerator. It’s cheaper than takeaway and tastier I reckon. There wasn’t a lot to clean up afterwards either. In my mind it’s a winner.
