Budget meal

I have been very interested in preparing nutricious meals on a budget. I really believe that with careful planning and smart shopping this can be achieved. Of course taking the time to shop and knowing how to cook are the 2 biggest advantages.
I purchased beef cheeks from the supermarket approximately $3.95 for a packet that holds 2. Enough for 2 meals.

The other ingredients

1 onion, 1 carrot, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 piece of garlic, 3 juniper berries and some home made chicken stock - another story.

Finished meal

I served this with roasted broccoli, parsnip and potato. All items bought from the 'sale table' at my fruit and vegetable shop.
The other piece of beef cheek can be frozen in its gravy for another meal.
