Recipes here

Well I am experimenting a bit.

First off I have a free range chicken fillet. I am thinking a slice of cheese and then wrap in bacon, drizzle with olive oil and then bake in pre-heated oven for 20 mins at 180C. We will see what happens!. OR instead, I am thinking crushed nuts or peanut butter? Or maybe breadcrumbs and parmesan in garlic butter sauce marinade for chicken for a couple of hours before baking? Maybe with rosemary and/or thyme and/or lemon mint or lemon verbena.

Then parsnips – not a great fan so roast in a honey sauce seems an interesting idea.

And then some slow carrots

I have got have a go at this bread. I need to get some quality olives first.

Just this

But I am making an avocado mayo to go with it.

This is an update on the recipe for the thins and PINK CAKE

1tbs chopped rosemary; 1/4tsp chillies flakes (or smoked paprika); 10 crushed Szechuan peppers; 100g flour; 100g cheese (I am using 50:50 cheddar and stilton); 1tsp baking powder; 1/2 tsp salt; 100g butter (but I am also going to try replacing with 75ml olive oil); 2 cloves of garlic. An alternative is to replace rosemary with other herbs such as parsley and basil.

Roll into 4cm sausage and put into the freezer for 30 minutes and then slice and cook in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes at 180C.

A traditional recipe too try. Cullen skink. and a recipe for pasta al funghi

Some recipes I found today

I have been given a few kg of tomatoes. Recently I made some ‘ketchup’ or sauce like thing that was great, but thought I would try a new one. Any suggestions welcome.

A glut of tomatoes in the shop – so I am going to give tomato sauce another try – I did try a couple of years ago and was not overly impressed.

Inspired by Aaron and having hot water again, and a car that works outside I have been looking for recipes. OK salad might not be the winter warmer of choice, but the sun has been out, Beach Boys on music with Fleetwood Mac, Carole King, Pink Floyd.
