Do you have a dish that originates from your locality?
Lancashire Hotpot is the one that springs to mind around here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancashire_Hotpot
It's cheap to make and very tasty.
Uses cheap meat and no real skill to make.
Lamb neck (Scrag end) 1 chop per person
Potatoes, carrots, onion, bay leaf, thyme, salt, pepper and a little stock and water.
The scrag end is cheap and needs cooking slow but it is one of the tastiest and juiciest cuts of lamb. It will fall off the bone and make it's own stock with the hours of cooking
Brown the lamb, add to the pot with stock and seasoning, add onion and carrots, fill with sliced potatoes and water.
Leave in the oven for 4-8 hours.
Serve with pickled red carrots or brown sauce.
Secret weapon can be a dash of Worcestershire Sauce (Not authentic)
Makes a really hearty meal for 4 for around $2 per serving.
Guess what I had for dinner.
(I've eaten mine so this is a stock picture, I make my carrots much chunkier and the potatoes a bit thicker and there are the onions.)
