    its your lucky day, matty is going to teach you all how to cook a very simple, cheap.. but loverly meal for 2, all for less then a fiver, yes.. £2.50 each, less then that even if you have a nice mum you can nick things from

    so what you need?


    Ainsley Harriott Moroccan Medley Cous Cous 200g – £1.20p for 2 sachets


    Chicken Fillets. 2 should be fine.. £1.50p depending what shop, aldi is good


    utterly butterly about 60p or any butter, it all works


    paprika – nicked from my mums cupboards, not sure how much it costs

    now get a pan and put some heat on, add the butter.. any size dobb will do, but a good amount to get those juices later

    now quickly chop the fillets into small pieces, if you like you can buy them diced, lazy people do, but some reason, this costs more, so i prefer to do the hard work myself

    once, done.. add to the pan, let it cook with the butter, till all the chicken is basicly white and well cooked

    now add the paprika, a good handfull is good..

    stir around.. let those juices flow, let the butter soak it in and the chicken soak of the flavors

    now you all following this

    get the cous cous… boil the kettle.. add the water.. let stand for 5 mins

    once this is done, get a fork and whisk the cous cous then add this to the pan, with the chicken

    stir around for 1 min… then turn of hear and let it stand

    then get the plates from the cupboards, usaly they are kept top right, this may vary on different kitchens though and how big you are

    serve, making sure each person has the same amount of chicken, make sure each serving gets the juices which will be at the bottom of the pan

    and hey presto, there you have it, enjoy

    next week

    Didn’t watch any of the “chicken out” programmes then?

    Euch! Mass produced cheap chicken just turns my stomach now!

    ok,

    if you have been watching the TV… then please stave yourself, or get a chicken, and kill it yourself

    even cheaper, chickens are easy to find, catching them is the hard part, I suggest strangling the neck, as shooting it, might spoil it

    Quick “tug” and it’s all over for the chicken.

    However I’m sure some know more about choking the chicken than others …

    a friend of mine used to do it for a living, when he was younger, not a Job I fancy

    anyway, you can always replace the chicken with lamb

    I love in a village, if they upped the price that much they’d go out of business cos nobody would use them !!

    Large portion of chips = 60p (35p for small)

    Mushy peas = 20p
