What with the arrival of a new fridge/freezer, I now have a mountain of defrosted meat, so am going to be cooking non stop.
There’s mince beef and lamb, sausages, merguez, chicken thighs, chicken and turkey breasts, a pheasant, pork chops,
and stewing beef.
What’s your best meatbased recipe recommendation? |

I make a kick ass cottage pie. I made a batch at the weekend and froze them in ingenious pyrex dishes with plastic lids so I can have something home cooked straight out of the freezer and in the oven on those nights when I can't be arsed to cook. Considering the mound of meat you have available a spicy meat and sausage stew sounds like a plan. Crusty bread for mopping up juices? |

I got free pheasants the other say too. The local shoot can't give them away to local shops or restaurants so are just dumping them in trenches. I think that's totally wrong, just shooting for the sake of it. |

"Well... apparently humans taste like pork?
Ha ha ha ha!
It came up in a conversation at work. Honest!
With you, I can well imagine. "
I didn't start it, I just carried it on.
And thank you.  |

Don’t know about the rest but I only cook one thing with sausages, you will need bacon, eggs, tinned tomatoes, Heinz baked beans in tomato sauce, black pudding, hash browns a fuckin big frying pan and loadsa grease 
(I’m actually orally orgasming typing that) |

I know! It’s awful. It’s why my parents get given lots because they also think it’s such a waste. |

"Goodness that's quite a stash!!!
"
Couldn’t get into the freezer, hence the need for a new one - and so couldn’t access the meat stash, until the big defrost yesterday. I’ve actually been cooking a lot of today already. |

Sounds bloody marvellous! Batch cooking to fill up the new freezer
I second the lasagne suggestion, freeze large portions for cold nights. Otherwise a big fan of meatloaf, that freezes well too.
Chicken thighs- marinade with garlic, oregano and lemon juice for Greek flavours to add to salads or sandwiches, or go more Chinese with five spice, soy sauce and honey, great if sliced and chucked in stir fry. Turkey and chicken breasts can be treated the same way, or simply add herbs and butter and bake in foil to help retain moisture when refreezing.
Merguez and the other sausages, simply cooking and slice before refreezing to chuck in a tomato-based pasta sauce.
Lamb mince can be made into kofte skewers if you are likely to eat in the next day or so, but perhaps a few patties with rosemary seasoning is better for refreezing.
Grand idea to eat pheasant soon- and if your supplier is near Norwich, pass on contact info
Stewing beef in slow cooker with some paprika, peppers and tomatoes would be a warming treat this week.
Not much use on the pork chop front as I can't eat it, maybe invite friends and family for dinner
Happy kitchen time! |

I'd forgotten that merguez was a thing, a real thing that exists in the world.
Send it to me? |

Most excellent ideas! Sadly it’s more towards the Burnhams than Norwich and is via my parents’ neighbour’s son who does a shoot! |

"Pork stacks in the slow cooker.
Roll the steaks out, layer with Apple slices, stuffing and red onion, #
repeat.
Wrap in parchment, cook on low.
Serve with mustard mash.  "

"Also why does cooking stop me feeling hungry?
Perhaps it's like the thing about smelling chocolate to get over the craving of eating chocolate?

I think you’re right. |

"How did all the cooking go?"
Really well! 6 different dishes cooked and frozen and a lovely pheasant dinner eaten.
Drama tonight as there’s been a power cut at home, but the grid network engineers have just finished fixing it at the local substation and everything has just come alive again, was starting to worry as it had been off for almost three hours!! Was paniicking it would all start to defrost!! |

"How did all the cooking go?
She’s still in the kitchen. She needed three more freezers to store it all "
Neighbours’ oven was roped in! But they’re going to join us for eating one of the dishes at the weekend so have done okay out of the lend! |

Glad it all went well! Mind you, any more power failures and you can just leave food outside instead.
For future reference, you normally have 18 hours safe margin for a freezer in a power cut, provided you keep the door closed! |
