How to have a budget-friendly festive lunch
Looking for ways to give your festive lunch that little extra touch? Look now further than these easy recipes.
Christmas banquets are a sure-fire way to blast your holiday bonus.
Instead, here are five ideas to help you stretch your Rand a little further while still putting on a spread worthy of the Christmas table:
Minty peas and homemade fish fingers
Jamie Oliver kicks off our list, taking a new spin on traditional fish fingers and finishing with something better than boiled peas. Even better, this recipe won’t break the bank.
Spending money on a pork roast can be expensive, so why not use other cuts of meat, such as tenderloin, which is a versatile piece of meat?
Serve with mashed potatoes or the minty peas mentioned above.
This simple tomato sauce recipe isn’t limited to spaghetti and meatballs; use it in a variety of dishes.
Using a crockpot allows you to focus on something else while it cooks.
Cider, garlic and thyme roasted chicken
The only real cost of this dish is 330ml of cider, which isn’t much to pay for in exchange for a tasty roast bird.
