Cheap and very very tasty, serve these juicy pork patties, created by celebrity chef Phil Vickery, with spicy apple sauce

Serves: 4 - 6
Cost approx: £0.80 per portion
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes

What you need:

• 450g lean pork or turkey mince
• 2 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• zest of half a lemon
• 1 egg, beaten
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp allspice or cinnamon
• 100mls cold water
• 2 large Bramley apples
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

What you do:

1. Mix the pork or turkey mince with the sage, oregano, thyme, lemon zest and season well, then if necessary add a little of the beaten egg to bind together.
2. Mould the mixture into eight patties, about 7cm diameter.
3. Cook the patties in a non-stick frying pan with two tbsp of the olive oil, for 8 - 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Be careful not to let the outsides overcook before the middles are cooked right the way through.
4. Place the other 2 tbsp of oil into a saucepan and heat gently.
5. Add the spice, water and the chopped apples, and cook for 15 minutes until the apples are soft and pulpy and you have a nice thick stew.
6. Finally, season with a little salt and pepper.
7. Serve the patties with the spicy apple stew as a dipping sauce.
