Thai Green Mussels

... sitting on a wall. Thai Green Mussels, sitting on wall. If one Green Mussel should accidentally fall, there'll be.... um, what's Thai minus one?! Ok, sorry, I have just had that in my head ever since I made this, and that was 4 days ago, so I needed to share it with you. I'm generous like that.

Hoisin Tart

As much as the title of this post might sound like an insult, it's not. It's an Ellwood favourite for a quick, simple, tasty, and budget friendly dinner. Winner all round!

One of my favourite things about this dish is that it's good for using up leftovers. I quite often have a few stray spring onions left in the salad drawer from another recipe that didn't call for a whole bunch. As for the meat, you really can use up whatever you've got! We had some slow cooked beef to hand that was shredded up, but we have used chicken, turkey, pork and lamb before and all worked beautifully!

A word to the wise- make sure when preparing this you only let people help if they are actually going to be helpful! Mr E thought he was oh so cute with his "One bit of cheese for me and.... one bit of cheese for me". After getting his hand slapped he really wasn't much more help because he likes a looooot of cheese (see photo evidence below). Please do not feel the need to overload it as much as we have!
