Spinach, olive and chili pizza
The Meat Eater made dinner tonight, as he’s in charge of cooking at the weekend (which actually means he only has to cook once as we usually go out Saturday nights) and he actually managed to make the dough in the bread machine all by himself instead of asking meContinue Reading
Cauliflower, egg & potato curry
It’s a BBC Good Food week this week and tonight’s recipe says it’s a midweek curry treat but that was purely coincidental as I only decided to make this tonight to use up the egg in the fridge that was one day out of date. I did wonder if itContinue Reading
Tomato & chickpea bake
Another one from my new favourite site – BBC Good Food – and tonight’s recipe didn’t disappoint, especially as it had the addition of a home grown aubergine fresh from the greenhouse (only one grew unfortunately but I’m going down the quality over quantity route). I especially like this recipeContinue Reading
Green garden veg pie
Another BBC Good Food recipe. The Meat Eater said, after two forkfuls, that if I made this for him every night, he’d marry me. I’m not sure if that’s reward or punishment? Hmm. Green garden veg pie Easy Serves 4 Prep 15 mins Cook 35 mins Ingredients 50g butter 2Continue Reading
Creamy courgette lasagne
As I’ve reinstated my organic vegetable box delivery, I needed some recipes to make use of the vegetables that I don’t usually buy, e.g. courgettes and other green healthy things like that. I stumbled upon the BBC Good Food website and what a great site it is. It has aContinue Reading
Fresh egg omelette
A few weeks ago I cycled past a house with a table bearing an array of vegetables and a box of eggs. Next to these was a price list and a jar for money. I didn’t have any money on me at the time but ever since going past this house, I’veContinue Reading
Quorn and red onion bolognese
Ok, my last plug for Leith’s Vegetarian Bible for the time being. I’ve used this book a lot in the last week, and this recipe is one I’ve used lots in the past. Good carbo-loading food (not that I run much anymore). Ingredients (serves 4) 2 tablespoons olive oil 1Continue Reading
Asparagus and leek filo pie
Hmm, seem to have had a Leith’s Vegetarian Bible themed week last week. Here’s another. This was really nice but I really should have served it with some new potatoes. Ah well, there’s leftovers in the freezer so next time I will serve it with the potatoes from the gardenContinue Reading
Sicilian aubergine parmigiana
Another one from Leith’s Vegetarian Bible. This was very nice, but slicing and frying so much aubergine was a bit tedious. It’s also another book that calls for parmesan but to give Leith’s credit, after some investigation, in the beginning of the book they state that they refer to theContinue Reading
Another vegetarian pizza
After experimenting further with the pizza base quantities, it’s now perfected I think. After quartering the original recipe, we now have a base that’s not too thick and not too soggy. Hurrah. Pizza base (makes 1 large pizza) 1/2 teaspoon dried yeast 3/4 cup bread flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2Continue Reading
