Hi BB
Am posting this in this thread as you may not spot it in Food and Drink.
This is the meat pudding in the microwave.Managed to obtain a copy of the book.
225g SR Flour
Pinch of salt
100g shredded suet 175-200ml water.
Filling
25g butter
2medium onions diced
100g musrooms chopped
1 garlic clove crushed
1tsp dried mixed herbs..I use herbs de provence
ground black pepper..a good twist.
Half a teaspoon meat extract ..I just crumble an oxo cube in it.
350gm mince
Make the pastry ..line a 2pt pudding basin and roll out the rest for the lid and set aside.
In another bowl ..butter,onions,mushrooms,garlic,herbs salt and pepper to taste Cover and cook for 5mins.
Stir in the mince and oxo, cover and cook for 4 mins.Stir halfway through.
Drain off excess liquid.
Bung it in your lined basin .pastry lid on and seal. Cover loosely with cling film and cook for 9 mins.
This is based on cooking all the ingredients at 700w in your microwave.
