braised aubergine with potatoes - https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/aug/11/alumni-recipes-sam-clark-chef-jonathan-jones-jacob-kenedy-april-bloomfield (at the bottom of this article).
we ate rather a lot of cheese for supper at the wedding last night so wanted something just vegetable-y and this hit the spot.

Re: Tried something new
That sounds very good, it’s quite like something else I make, but while e I try not to be greedy, I aubergine and 3 potatoes for 6 portions sounds like quite small plates
Re: Tried something new
yes, quite small portions if it's a main. i know we're greedy but it just did the two of us - i'm assuming it is possibly meant to be a side to a main dish. a 'restaurant' portion!
i sort of 'extended' it, too. as the aubergine was quite a large one i used a pack of alexandra new potatoes rather than the three, large, waxy potatoes suggested, two smaller medium sized red onions and rather than the faf of charring the pepper i used some of the jarred, charred peppers plus half an ordinary one - and a little less red wine vinegar to make up for the rinsed jarred ones. i also didn't skin etc the tomatoes - does anyone, really?

Re: Tried something new
I made Twice Cooked Swiss Chard from Fuchsia Dunlop’s Every Grain of Rice
Easy, vegan, really good, recommended to anyone, but especially if you chard has grown to the point where it’s mostly tough stalks, as you can correct this in the trimming and blanching
This is the recipe as Fuchsia wrote it

I think we're going to try this tonight: https://www.theguardian.com/food/2022/m ... hine-salad
I've got oregano, and the halloumi has mint in it so hopefully it'll still be good.

I love the look of this!
Re: Tried something new
Well, can't recommend it highly enough! Absolutely delicious
Meant to say, my sweet potatoes were long and I cut them into 1 cm discs. I think the chunks she suggests in her recipe are a bit too large.

Re: Tried something new
Made the sunshine salad myself last night, subbed the basil for Oregano, the rocket for just cooked green beans, and added a pinch of chilli flakes to the potatoes and the dressing. Delicious.

I like the sound of that.
Re: Tried something new
the oven went on for half an hour this afternoon - a couple of trays of brownies (bea harling's from one of the hotel chocolat books - my favourite recipe) and some savoury cheese flapjacks based on this recipe.
i was trying to recreate the cheese flapjacks we often had at school, for lunch (hot with gravy) - really, scrummy.
my changes were the addition of a teaspoon of marmite, a finely sliced onion, a quarter tsp of garlic powder and about half a teaspoon of dried rosemary.
the only changes i'd make for the next batch would be to remove the eggs and replace them with more cheese. i think then they would more closely resemble my 'memory' ones - a bit more chewy and more cheesy.
good picnic or hike food.

Re: Tried something new
They sound delicious Scully. We are off on a long walk next week, I think I’ll give them a whirl - will make a change to the usual pack up.

Re: Tried something new
I've wanted a recipe like that for a while. I suppose the egg holds them together in a way that cheese might not but more cheese and less egg sounds good. Not sure about the gravy!
Re: Tried something new
oh, it was good, marmite-y gravy. it went well when they were hot.
pretty sure the cheese (i used extra mature cheddar) holds them together, too.
the egg made them feel a more 'cake-y' texture than the remembered ones.

Popping in to say it was very tasty - could have been a bit wetter but couldn't fault the flavour
ETA I didn't weigh the peas - I think it's probably very forgiving. If anything, I will have done more than less, though. Also we used bought preserved lemons I brought with us from the local Arab shop at home.
Re: Tried something new
I made Nigel’s latest
https://www.theguardian.com/food/2022/j ... th-harissa
It was really delicious and much better than the sum of its parts. We had it with herby cous cous and some good sausages, but the sausages were superfluous really.
