Recipe from this week's Meal Plan

Hushia (Hush - a)

3 - 4 large potatoes - peeled and cubed
1 tbsp margarine
1 lb cooked/leftover beef - cubed
3 small onions - chopped
5 tsp gravy mix (I use Bisto - you can find it in the "international/british" section)
2 tbsp Vinegar
1 cup water
2 bay leaves
1/4 tsp ground cloves
salt and pepper

Place potatoes in pot and cover with water. Bring to a rolling boil and cook till potatoes are soft. Drain.
While potatoes are cooking, melt margarine in a large frying pan and brown up the beef. Add the onion and cook until onion is soft (2 - 3 min). In a separate bowl, add gravy mix and vinegar to make a paste. Then slowly add hot water to make a gravy. Add gravy to beef. If this is really thick then add more water to a gravy consitancy that you like. Next add the bay leaves and cloves, salt and pepper to taste. Mix and let simmer for about 10 min. Ready to serve over potatoes.

This is a great meal when you have leftover roast. It came from my grandmother's recipe box. It has a tangy/warm spice tast to it. Kind of feels like a winter meal. Supper easy to make which I always love, especially when needing less time in the kitchen and more time focusing on the littles!
