Egg curry

Almost end of veggie month!

We tried very hard to go veggie for the month of October, it wasnt too hard - we didn't really notice it. But we did feel an urge towards the end of the month on a Friday night for a chicken korma and chips!

(Care of Light of Bengal, Aigburth Road, Liverpool - please do try there fantastic popadom and chutney, particularly the yellow powder coconut)

Here is the guilty offender!

Courgette ribbons

Courgette ribbons (used potato Peeler) low heat fried in olive oil. Add couple spoons of pesto or even better make your own pesto I was lazy. Mix over low heat. Perfect side dish!
Nigel Slater inspired

Feta & spinach pie

From Jamie's 30mins meal book. So easy and really yummy served with last nights left over salad

Mish mash

Continuing on with our veggie month tonight we have Mexican bean burgers (tesco frozen). Really nice spice and tasty, better than meat substitute cardboard stuff. We had that with fries & garlic mushrooms. And used our toms and basil from the allotment with mozzarella etc, green salad cucumber dressing bit of parmesan over. Mini fest left over salad for lunch tomorrow and crumble still going strong from yesterday

For our vegy month

Oven dried tomatoes

The first of the tomatoes preseved. This time did oven dry, also minced up in little blender a mix of lemon thyme, thyme, garlic , black pepper, salt and olive oil, and painted on to top of halved tomatoes, Put in oven over several sessions over weekend, only on very low, finally taking out, draining and reserving juices and oils, turning the toms over (so now skins upwards) and giving a final session. The toms came our substantual, chewy and caramelised yum! Hopefully will keep in jar for a few months.

Corn on the cob blanching
