Budget eating does not
mean eating plain, boring meals that leave you tasteless and in need of an
immediate chocolate gorge-session.
You can dine in style on a shoestring with a little
imagination and a whole lot of sass.
Let’s get quick, easy and delicious!
Bangers and mash with a sweet-chilli glaze: R50 for 2
Ingredients

pork)
4 potatoes
75g butter
75ml – 100ml milk for the mash

1 T canola oil
½ head of broccoli
1-2 cloves of garlic (to your taste)
Method
Peel the potatoes, chop in quarters, place in a pot of cold,
salted water and bring to the boil.
Place the sausages in a pan and pan-fry them in a little canola or vegetable
oil.
Steam/ boil the broccoli until it is just done and remove from the water.
Mash the potatoes with 50g of the butter and milk and season to taste.
When the sausages are browning nicely and almost done, add the 2 T of
sweet-chilli sauce and toss, cooking for a further few minutes. Then remove
from the pan.
