Yesterday we went to Omak Butchers in Kamo as I wanted to buy one of their bacon hocks to make soup. They are so much nicer than the supermarket ones. While I was there I bought some bacon, lambs fry and a small boned lamb leg roast. I then noticed that their whole eye fillet steaks were on special and I knew we had very little left so bought one of them as well.
Today, after doing a couple of loads of washing and making a loaf of gf bread I sliced the fillet and packed it up getting enough for 13 meals for the two of us. We had some for lunch and the rest went in the deep freeze. ( I was surprised to see that it is actually Australian beef.)
I also made a large pot of Pea and Ham Soup. As well as the peas and bacon hock were lentils, carrots, kumara and celery. When it was cooked I removed the meat from the bone and then used a stick mixer to puree the soup. I will store the soup and meat separately and put some meat in each serving.
It is delicious and we will have some for our meal tonight. There are two large bowls of soup.
I did soup too, huge bacon hocks, but I did the meat first, then soup mix, then every vege I had. Whizzed it all, and have 13 meals, 12 frozen, ( one we had for dinner ) Great idea to have the meat separate.
ReplyDeleteI usually cook the meat first but decided to cook it all together this time. It is always nice having a good supply frozen.
