Tarte Tatain’t
It's not made with pastry, and there's no syrupy glaze but what there is, is cheese. And it was cooked upside down so there we go. 1 large potato, peeled if you like, cut into rough dice, about 1" x 1"4 medium parsnips, peeled and diced the sameOlive oilSalt1 tsp rose harissa paste or to …
Sri Lankan Tomato Curry
I'm not sure how I ended up with quite so many Oddbox tomatoes, but I did. Some were on the cusp of becoming a non tomato, so it was time to do something. I'd already done a fresh tomato and aubergine bake, but wanted something non Mediterranean. This curry is best made and then left …
Stuffed Potatoes with Cypriot flavours
I've long been an admirer of potatoes. I never used to eat them much, at the height of low carbing, and then I realised that they were much maligned, along with the larger sized among us. I still feel a pang of naughty when I eat them, but it's a mere wisp of a pang, …
Crunchy Bread Pockets
I hate waste. I've probably said this before. I had a few slices of bread left that had gone a little mouldy on the crusts so I sprang* into action. Cut off the crusts, then rolled them as flat as I could with a rolling pin. Brown bread is surprisingly resilient. Cheap white bread would …
Flour Pie
I know, I know, flour pie sounds distinctly uninspiring but stay with me. A few months back I saw this recipe on Instagram, and it caught my eye. It just looked so wholesome and fresh! I made it, and it was. A lovely way to use up greens, in a very non boring way. I …
Aubergines again
I never, ever get tired of aubergines. This is one of my favourite ways of cooking them, and works for a speedy dinner! I baked them at 160C fan. Maple syrup works just as well as honey. 🙂 https://videopress.com/v/LMUwycax?preloadContent=metadata Stage one and stage two!
Caponata Fritters
I saw Sabrina Ghayour's Halloumi and Carrot balls in Bazaar, but had no carrots. Or dill. I did have halloumi, but I needed that for something else. Then I remembered an aubergine that needed using, so I switched from the island of Cyprus to the island of Sicily.Caponata is a vegetable stew, sweet and sour …
Meat Free Moshari Kokkinisto / Pastitsada
I'd made something called Moshari Kokkinisto - reddened beef - with the remains of the seitan left over from the doner experiment. I had a pretty large chunk of it left so I twisted it, pulled it and broke it into pieces. It takes some doing, as it's pretty elastic! Bear in mind that these …
Hail Seitan, Destroyer of, er, bread.
I admit, I am late to this homemade seitan thing because a) I'm not a vegetarian and b) lots of restaurants out there have been doing it better, for longer but as my tooth works are ongoing, I needed a protein with no surprises.I'm not a fan of doner meat, not because of the ears/noses/toes …
