Catering

Since we're being cheap this year, one giant pot of black beans, Mexican Styles, roughly following this recipe, should be sufficient for three meals; enchiladas, refried bean tortillas, and breakfast burritos. For another dinner we can do stew with dumplings, parsnip mash and peas.

See the menu for suggestions from the email.

Jonathan to bring

  • I've already scored us 1kg of excellent bacon
  • flour

  • sundry spices
