HOW TO BE A BATCHMAKER

FREEZE IN PORTIONS

■ Pack cooled portions of the baked faggots for two in foil freezer trays or a container covered with foil. Use within 3 months. Cook from frozen at 200C/ 180C fan/gas 6 for 45-60 mins until bubbling hot. If not packed in foil, thaw and reheat in the microwave.

FREEZE IN BATCHES

■ Freeze the curry in batch sizes to suit your needs. If you do this in freezer bags and lay them flat, defrosting will be much quicker.

■ Once defrosted, transfer to an ovenproof dish, add a splash of water, cover with the lid and reheat at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for 20 mins or until it's piping hot.
