Risotto aux poivrons

Easy meal to do, most of it is just waiting around in the kitchen. Total price should be around £2.

Put some butter in pan with a little oil and had an onion in bits in it. Small fire, cover the pan and let it wait.
In another big pan do the same.

Cut 2 peppers, 2 tomatoes, 2 sausages

When the onions are ready, put rice in the big pan and mix well so the rice drinks the oily liquids. When there is none left and the rice looks kind of transparent, add some white wine. When it has disappeared, add progressively 2 and 1/2 the volume of rice in water (for three people we had 1 and 1/2 cup of rice, so 3 and 3/4 cups of water). Add spices. When the water has disppeared it will be ready. Raise a bit the fire.

In the meanwhile put the tomatoes, peppers, saussages in the other smaller pan and raise the fire a bit.

When the vegetable are cooked, add them in the rice pan. Mix, wait for the water to disappear if there was any left.

Serve

Saucisses de porc au miel nappées d'une sauce béchamel aux olives et aux tomates

Béchamel is maybe one of the easiest meal that one can do. The most expensive items were the sausages. In overal the price of that meal was roughly £1.3.

Take 50g of butter and melt it in a pot, very small fire. Then add 60g of flour on top and mix well until homogenous. Then add half a litre of milk bit by bit. Like, only add 1/5 of the milk and mix until it gets kind of sticky, then add another 1/5 and so on. Always keep mixing.
With a your second and third hand cut your sausages in bits and fry them in a little oil, until cooked and a bit coloured. Add 3 tomatoes cut in pieces.

Once ready, put all this in the bechamel and mix a bit more (since the addition of oil and water (from the tomatoes) will make the bechamel a bit liquid. Add some grated cheese in it, according to your taste (the more the better it is said). And.... olives, Olives are great, olives are good, it is like wine, tasting them is so good. Eat a few and put the others in the pot before eating them all.

Mix more and make sure the béchamel is thick enough. If not mix more and push the gas up. (normally it should take 15-20 minutes only to get the normal thickness).

Serve on its own or on pasta if you are very hungry. This recipe was enough for us three. We just needed a piece of fruit to finish the dinner.
