September has arrived guys. We should expect some cold days here and some surprisingly warm days there. Here are some reinvented traditional dishes to get you through the diverse days of September, thanks to Lidl.
Roast Beef
This succulent favourite will just always be a winner. Shake things up a bit and try glazing the beef with Teriyaki sauce. Just marinate the beef overnight in soy, honey, garlic, sugar and vinegar for an oriental take on the dish. Remember, the best produce makes the best meal. Head to Lidl for your ingredients, as all Lidl’s fresh British meat and poultry carries the Red Tractor label to ensure that it is responsibly sourced to their strict animal welfare, food safety and environmental standards.
Mussels
Sometimes you need some seafood to break up beef on those warmer days. Try making a delicious dish of mussels, white wine and parsley. Or, for a quicker option, you could go for Lidl's Scottish MSC sustainable mussels in a prepared garlic or white wine sauce. 'MSC certified' means they are recognised by the Marine Stewardship Council as having great, sustainable fishing practises and maintaining healthy fishstocks.
Steak and Chunky Chips
It doesn’t get more British than this, and sometimes you can’t improve on perfection. Nailing this dish is all about getting the seasoning right, and investing in high-quality beef. Pick up one of Lidl's deluxe Scotch rib-eye, sirloin or rump steaks which are from cattle that have a grass based diet throughout the year, giving you the best quality Deluxe steaks.
Fish and Chips
Reserve this beach-side fave for those days of September where the sun shows up. Pick up your favorite fish from Lidl, which has been awarded “MSC Mid-Sized Retailer of the Year”. You could also try a healthier version of this old English classic. Create the dish with herby sweet potato chips instead of potato chips. It’ll make it much healthier.
Shepherd’s Pie
Are you a vegetarian? It’s unfair that so many great British dishes cater mainly to the meat-eaters. You could try making this English staple without the lamb, but with beans, lentils, carrots, celery and peas from Lidl instead. All of Lidl's British fruit and veg comes from Red Tractor Assured Farms.
