( foodwise) This is my 95 almost mum just about to start on a pizza. Not really it was a family size one. But thought it a great photo. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plantfit 7,580 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Thought I would do bangers and mash for tea tonight but with a little twist,instead of the usual sausages,mashed potato and peas I thought I would substitute the peas for cabbage and carrot,do the sausage and mash in the usual way,grate one third of a white cabbage and one large carrot,(grate the carrot length ways so the strips are about the same length as the cabbage if you know what I mean,put in a steamer and steam for about four minutes,transfere to a frying pan with some melted butter,salt and ground black pepper and fry until cabbage starts to turn slight golden brown,keep turning the grated veg over so as not to let it burn in the pan,spoon onto bangers and mash and spoon over some thickish gravy Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,894 Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Found a few courgette flowers today. We dont see them often unless you know someone with a few plants. Filled them with potato, parmesan and mint. Then fried them. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ABritAbroad 107 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Those look delicious, nonnaB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,894 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 A couple of days ago I bought 2 aubergines but hadnt had time to cook them. So this morning I sliced them and left them under salt for a couple of hours . Too long really but they were ok. Rinsed them and fried them in olive oil, drained them well and made a tray of parmigiana. Layers of aubergine topped with tomato and parmesan. Oven baked. Then I had some slices left so I sandwiched them with some cheese slices dipped them in egg and then breadcrumbs and fried them again. Enjoying them now for my lunch. Watching my calorie intake for the next few days. But they are nice. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,894 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Tonight sauted courgettes and potatoes , when almost cooked add a couple of eggs to slowly cook in the mix. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EileenH 496 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Crikey, nonnaB. your recipes sound wonderful! For the last dish, the sauted courgettes and potatoes, are the eggs beaten or slipped in whole? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,894 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Slipped in whole Eileen. I did it a litle differently. I sauteed the courgettes and potatoes together and added a very ripe chopped tomato popped the egg in and put a lid on the pan to cook the egg. The best way to do this is with the long sicilian courgettes. They have to be scraped or peeled unlike normal courgettes but these are more compact and don't go mushy. If you can get them try them by adding a few basil leaves. You can even add some cooked pasta ( but without the egg) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,279 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I am not a cookery person but I like making cidre. I also have a fair stock of farm Calvados, Three years ago we had a glut of peaches and I filled 3 x 2lt kilner jars with halved peaches and topped the jars up with Calvados (70%). We ate the peaches with ice cream for pudding after one years and again after 2 years. Really warmed the gills! Got one jar left, The juice was bottled and made a nice drink but about half the alcohol had been absorbed by the peaches. I did the same with plums. All halved and stoned. I ill try it with pears this year. So, I have plenty of cidre - any recipes out there based on cidre. The cidre is pure, is 7% and has a stronger flavour than commercial cidre. Unfortunately two of the cidre barrels were not racked in time and have turned to vinegar - what will I do with that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,894 Posted August 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 PP put it on your chips, in salads etc. Sorry but couldn't resist. What a shame all that to waste. Peaches are lovely soaked in alcohol and they do last .....if you dont eat them. Made some more jam today, peach and apricots mixed as I had some left and this afternoon some pear and cinnamon jam Then 5 jars of plums in syrup, just sterilised them and now waiting til cold to store them. Have tried to post some pics but have forgotten how to. Cant find anything on app to post them so maybe its not working properly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,894 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Tonight I had some rainbow trout to cook so here goes what I did. First made a mixture of roasted pine nuts, chopped parsley, zest of a lemon and a sprinkling of parmesan. I oven baked the fish until almost cooked and spread the mixture on top and popped it back in the oven for a few minutes. Delicious. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
