Recipe creation thread

So, we tried this a good while ago with some success, so I thought this would be some fun.

The Rules:

You must use the 5 ingredients listed.
You can use reasonable 'larder' ingredients such as stock, garlic etc. What is reasonable will be judged by other members, but I would suggest that the 5 main ingredients must be the primary flavours.
The top 5 ingredients will change when we get bored.
Post the full list of ingredients and pics if possible for other people to try.
Be creative as possible.
Anyone who cooks your recipe must rate it out of 10 on the following criteria: Creativity, ease of making, flavour and time to make (so 40 is the highest score achievable)
The 5 ingredients cannot cost more than £10 combined.
It must be one dish.

The first set of 5 ingredients:

White Potatoes
Pork Belly
Portabello Mushrooms
Pine Nuts
Courgette

I'm going to give this a go sometime this week and see what I come up with.

Edit: To give people an idea of what to expect, this is what I'm going to do:
Roasted Pork Belly stuffed with mushrooms and pine nuts, potato gratin and courgette crisps. (Recipe and pics to follow)

eat the pine nuts as a quick snack, while waiting for it to all cook.

You gotta use all the ingredients somehow.

I'd consider cream as a larder ingredient.

even when adding the ingredient would ruin the dish

The point of the thread is to be creative. If it ruins the dish, you need to think up another dish.
