Midweek favourites!

I was lucky enough to be chosen to try tesco's meat for free. For the campaign I received a £10 voucher, and the meat is always on 3 for £10. With my voucher I purchased some beef mince, skinless boneless chicken breasts and pork chops.


Today I will focus on the mince. I was looking for beef mince with a nice long date on it and with a deep red colour. I was successful on both points, I would never pick up browning or grey looking mince. When it came to using the beef the next day it still looked nice and fresh, I have experienced meat that has browned in the fridge slightly before and it puts me off even cooking it. I made a rich and traditional bolognaise, it was delicious and the sauce was lovely. This owes to the quality of the meat, one hood thing is that when cooked it didn't release excess water or fat. It was a great meal and my boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Chicken thighs next, watch this space they're currently marinading in a delicious satay style sauce. Cookie x
