Not everyone likes pumpkin, but it’s actually a fairly versatile vegetable. Growing up most of our mothers only served it boiled or roasted. I now like it mashed or in curries and casseroles too. Haven’t tried this version, but I’m going to as I think the creamy cheezee sauce sounds great.
Most soups require a whole lot of vegetable peeling and chopping, but with the exception of chopping up an onion, there’s nothing else to prepare for this Green Pea Soup. Add stock to the fried onion, garlic, a dash of cumin, throw in frozen peas, puree and you’re done…..couldn’t be easier.
I think that cauliflower is a very versatile vegetable. Traditionally we only had it boiled or topped with a cheesy white sauce, but these days I use it in lots of different ways. Unlike broccoli it’s fairly firm and as long as you don’t cook it for too long it holds up well roasted, in curries, stir fries and stews. As we mainly eat low carb, my favourite use is as a substitute for potato on top of shepherds pie. In this recipe it’s combined with potatoes, lamb mince and spices, certainly a change from plain old boiled cauli……
Don’t think there’s anyway you can go wrong with a combination of chocolate, raspberries, ice-cream and waffles. What more is there to say………………
This is another John West salmon lasagne recipe. This version has lots of ricotta cheese in it which makes it lovely and creamy. Although it’s more expensive to use red salmon rather than pink it’s worth it, as it gives it lots more flavour. Great served with a salad and garlic bread.
Fancy a sweet treat to go with that cup of tea or coffee while you’re working from home? Then you might enjoy this slice. Won’t take long to make or if you’re lucky the kids might make it for you. Either way I hope it makes these difficult days a bit brighter for you.
Tinned pineapple has never been a favourite in my household as it’s quite sweet, but if you like meat and fruits together you should try this lamb casserole recipe. Easy to make and great on a cold night.
I love soup, especially if it is quick and easy to make like this one. This is a really flexible recipe because, as suggested, you can change the vegetables and I don’t see why you couldn’t change the cheese type as well. Using sourdough or a seeded bread could add to the flavour too. Lots of choices really, whatever you like………….
Mum must have cut this recipe off the back of a packet of Anchor raisins and as you can see it uses all their products. Also on the label is a recipe for Brandied Fruits, although she didn’t make their one, she did make her own version, which is on here if you’d like to try it.
Since our trip to Spain and Portugal last year I’ve become very fond of chorizo sausages and am using them in all sorts of dishes. This week I made Spanish Beef with Chorizo in the slow cooker and I really like them sliced and fried in cider with a glass of wine. So adding them into hash browns can only be a good thing.
