Broad bean and Courgette Pilaf

About ½ an hour tp prepare   30 mins to 1 hour to cook
Ingredients
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp coriander seeds
50ml/2fl oz vegetable oil
1 onion, peeled, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled, crushed
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp ground turmeric
10 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
2 cloves
225g/8oz basmati rice, soaked in water for 20 minutes and drained
200g/7oz broad beans,

4 courgettes sliced  into one inch pieces

salt and freshly ground black pepper
50g/2oz butter
To serve
chopped fresh parsley

Method
1. Heat a dry frying pan and add the cumin and coriander seeds. Fry over a medium heat, moving the spices around the pan frequently to prevent them from burning, for 2-3 minutes, or until aromatic and lightly browned. Transfer to a mortar and grind with a pestle.
2. In a pan, heat the vegetable oil and fry the onion and garlic over a medium-low heat for 6-8 minutes, or until softened. Add the ground toasted spices, the cinnamon stick, ground turmeric, cardamom pods and cloves and cook for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the rice, broad beans and stock, cover the pan with a lid and cook over a low heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
4. Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan until smoking. Brush the courgettes with the olive oil, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper then cook on the griddle for 2-3 minutes on both sides, or until charred and softened. Set aside.
5. To serve, stir the butter into the pilaf until melted, then spoon into serving bowls and top with the griddled courgette pieces. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, a squeeze of lemon juice and a dollop of yoghurt.

Egg on Toast - Romanian Style

This is my adaptation of a Romanian recipe - Ochiuri cu Praz.
It serves 2 on its own or 4 served with a hearty salad or similar accompaniment.

You need 4 very chunky slices of bread, homemade or something like a bloomer I find is best especially if a day or two old and slightly stale. (shop sliced bread just goes soggy)

4 Eggs
50g of butter plus extra for frying the bread
1-11/2 tsp flour
300ml milk
1 leek or a bunch of salad onions depending on the season
50g of cheese, grated - Cheddar is good but you can use any cheese really
Paprika
Black pepper
1 tomato - optional

Clean and finely chop the leek/onion. Fry lightly in the butter. Add the flour to make a roux and then slowly add the milk to make a sauce. It needs to be a similar thickness to the Bechamel used on Lasagne.

Fry the slices of bread in butter and lay flat in an oven proof dish, sprinkle with a good pinch of Paprika. Poach the eggs and place one on each slice of bread. Pour over the sauce and top with the cheese. Slice the tomato if using and lay the slices on top of the cheese and finish with a dash of pepper. Put in a pre heated oven for 3-4 minutes to melt and brown the cheese.

The reward of a thing well done is to have done it....

Sorry if I'm being thick... I love the sound of these ingredients together and would really like to try these but I'm not sure which bit I spoon in the middle before rolling up, and which bit is the sauce?

Thank you

Penny

Sorry Penny, typed whilst drinking a rather palatable red!  The red pepper/coriander is mixed in with the fried veg and this is what you put in the middle of the rolls.  Enjoy!

I just checked to see if I had already put this in the recipe section and i couldn't find it so here goes:

Chestnut Casserole - serves 2

1 tbs olive oil
8 pickling size onions
3 medium carrots in chunks
1 stick celery in 1" pieces
8 button mushrooms, halved
2tbs broadbeans
2 or 3 broccoli florets
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1 tbs soy sauce
12 tinned chestnuts (or dried chestnuts coooked in water til tender)
2 tbs chopped parsley
2 tsp cornflour


Cheese dumplings

2oz bread crumbs
2oz veggie cheddar
1/4 tsp mustard powder
pinch cayenne
1 egg

Stir fry veg in oil for a couple of minutes and stir in mustard powder. Add soy sauce and enough water to come up half way up the veg. Simmer for 10 minutes, meanwhile  mix all ingredients for dumplings and divide mixture into 10 small balls.  Add chestnuts and stir, then balance the dumplings on top of veg and put lid on pan, simmer for another 10 minutes. Lift veg and dumplings onto a serving dish and thicken sauce with cornflour and pour over veg.

Wild Garlic and Brassica Risotto

(can use wet garlic or leeks instead), the brassicas change as to what's left in the fridge!

Serves 2-4 (depending upon appetite)

1 onion- finely chopped
2 cloves garlic- finely sliced (or crushed)
1 table spoon of Olive oil
1 mug risotto or paella rice
About 2 pints vegetable stock- I use 'Marigold’s Vegan bouillon reduced salt'- purple tin (only as its low salt!)-I normally have this in a second pan keeping it warm.
White wine (or sherry if no wine)-
Large pinch dried mixed herbs
Couple of handfuls quite finely cut brassicas.- aim for ½ inch pieces of cauliflower or broccoli, and finely slice any leaves.
Wild garlic- about 10-20 well washed and finely sliced leaves, or a couple of inches of wet garlic neck, or leek.
Fresh Parmesan cheese if you like it


Begin by gently frying onion and garlic lightly in olive oil until the onions go a bit translucent, then add the rice, stir well and fry gently until the rice starts to go translucent too.
Add a glass of white wine (or first mug of stock), stir well, add mixed herbs.
Traditional risotto recipes now tell you to add tiny amounts of stock and keep stirring until it’s all cooked.
I tend to be ‘multi-tasking’ so add about 1/2 pint of stock, stir well, and keep an eye on the risotto-on a low heat, while doing other things. each time the stock is nearly all gone add a little more, and stir.

After about 10 mins add brassicas- I have used cauliflower, broccoli, purple sprouting, and even cabbage.
Keep stirring and adding stock- keep testing the rice to see how its going- I like a little bit of bite left, but not a nasty bullet hard centre- when its nearly cooked add smaller amounts of stock each time.
When rice and brassicas nearly cooked add finely slice wild garlic.

If needed add more wine to the cook. :)

Once the rice and brassicas are cooked, turn off the heat and grate about an ounce of parmesan over the risotto and stir well.

Serve- I tend to grate more parmesan over it, and black pepper, and if available garnish with chives, or flowers from the wild garlic.
Great with Salad, or fresh bread
Very often quite lost- would be more lost if I could work out where I was!- But always find my way home.....

I finally made Bern's spicy bean burgers on page one.  They are lovely and it's a good recipe for substituting things and using up what you have in the fridge.  I followed the recipe and put in some cooked brown rice left over from last night to pad them out further. 

Cheese makes everything better.
