Beagle and broccoli bake

Grandad September 6th, 2007

I’m a man of many talents.

I’ve been known to throw together a fair meal. Our K8 says I cook a mean dinner [but I'm not sure what she means by that, exactly].

Anyway, I thought I’d share one of my recipes, as I cooked it last night and it’s delicious.

First of all, you need some dog. The hind leg off a local pooch will do. Of course it depends on the size of the dog. Your average dog has a hind leg of sufficient proportions for a meal for four, but if it’s a chiwawa, then just feck the whole thing in.  A cat is also a good source of protein.

First bone and dice the leg into quarter inch cubes. Then chop up a large onion. fry these gently in some oil. Not too much though.

Cut a head of broccoli into florets, and chuck out the bits that look like tree trunks. This should be steamed until it is beginning to turn soft. Don’t overdo this or the broccoli will turn soft and watery.

Chuck a tin of condensed chicken soup and a small carton of cream in on the meat and onions and remove from the heat. Stir it all up and bung in the broccoli. Give it a good old stir and then cover the lot in a layer of breadcrumbs. For the final touch, get a bag of salt and vinegar crisps. Crunch them into powder and sprinkle over the top.

Now put the lot in a preheated oven at 180C and leave for half an hour.

Serve on rice.

It is delicious.

If you have cooked it correctly, the onion and broccoli will still have a slight bit to them, while the meat will be tender. Of course this causes frightful flatulence, but that is a small price to pay. Just eat in the open air, and don’t expect a romantic night after.

Road kill is an adequate substitute for the dog, though the grit from the road can be irritating.

For the really squeamish, two or three chicken breasts will do.

Enjoy.
