The very stuff mate

To all those giving my tablet recipe a go.....the MOST IMPORTANT thing to remember is the pan you make it in has to be large and have thick bottom. I use the biggest Le Cruset pan I've got. Keep the heat low.

Try to get LIGHT condensed milk too as this can make the difference between success and a burnt offering!

Ben> you've tried my tablet before and told me then that it was as good as your Auntie Mary's!

[rachbon]

i only have rubbish pots and wee thin trays. i think i'll need to buy a new pot and a new tray, i'll be making it thin but i don't want it spilling over the tray.

The tin doesn't matter tbh. Mine are all old and tatty or really thin toffee trays that belonged to my granny. I wouldn't try to make it in a thin bottomed pot though. Would burn too easily.

I've recently discovered the joys of the red lentil. Both me and my bank balance are pleased with the over all result.

Anyway, I've made this recipe twice this week.

I beefed it up with some finely chopped red pepper, carrots and mushrooms. Very nice.

That sounds pretty scary to me! I suspect if I had some of that.. I might have an involuntary and probably incapacitating Train of Malteser Bullets

Not for me, that one thanks...

I popped in, thought it was about camping cooking. Seen Aubergine and buggered off.

do i just grease the tray with butter or do i need some sort of paper to line the tray?

Wouldn`t do any harm to line it with greaseproof paper which would make it easier to get out, but not essential.

Remember to mark it for cutting before it sets. If you are greasing the tray... dont go beserk--only needs a thin film to aid getting it out.

Just grease the tray. No paper needed. You'll spend ages trying to peel it off if you do!

How long after the meat goes in? Just until the meat is cooked?

Sorry my bad, it's in a slow cooker (I've looked for how to make it without one but never found a recipe) so you basically chuck it all in there and make sure it's mixed and leave it in there for 4-6 hours depending on how you have the heat settings.

I like slow cookers, so when I get back from work the food is ready and hot.

Ah. I don’t have one. The danger is that if you leave it in a pot for too long it turns into goo. Looks great though Ill try find a way!
