Roast Lamb Salad

Image
I was going to copy the recipe in but to be honest, it would be better to go to the site... CLICK HERE I've made it a few times and it's great. Serve it on the biggest plate, or serving dish you can find.

Pan-fried Lamb Meatballs

Blitz chunks of lamb shoulder with onion, parsley & seasoning in a blender and pan fry. Eat in toasted pitta with lemon juice & a dollop of yoghurt. Yum.

Teriyaki Sauce

Soy Sauce Mirin Sake Sugar Sesame Oil Mix the Soy sauce, mirin & Sake in equal amounts in a pan. Add a small amount of sugar and sesame oil and boil for a minute to combine. Use the sauce to baste pork, chicken, beef, or veg while you grill it.

Tabbouleh

a big bunch of parlsey a big bunch of mint Tomatoes Olive Oil Lemon Juice Bulgar Wheat Cook wheat according to packet & number of mouths to feed. Mix a couple of handfuls of chopped parsley & mint, then mix in even more, go on... trust me. Put in lots of the best tomatoes you can get, chopped quite small. Mix in a generous amount of your best olive oil & lemon juice. Oh and season with Sea salt & black pepper. I often use a garlic vinaigrette instead. Sorry to be vague on the amounts, but it doesn't really matter, it's a personal thing... I love it to be as much herb as wheat. I could eat this almost every day. It's healthy & delicious!

What's in Season now?

I found this site. What helpful people.. thanks! EAT THE SEASONS It's good for the UK, USA & Canada

Griddled Courgettes with mint & chili

Fine slice (mandolin if possible) your courgettes. Griddle until nice black stripes appear. Mix with good olive oil & lemon juice and pop on mint, crushed garlic & chopped red chilies. Simple but very moorish! You can obviously do this with lots of other veg. Aubergines,peppers and leeks are all great.

Green Beans with Ginger

Not really a recipe, I know... Steam beans for 3 mins.  Then toss with a little grated ginger, lemon juice & olive oil.  Delicious with fish! or Steam beans for 3mins then cool briefly in iced water. Toss in a good garlic vinaigrette. Ready to eat, or stick in fridge for later.

Mix in cream cheese and lots of lemon juice, and ground black pepper. It needs a bit of chilling now. It lasts for a few days & seems to get better & better. Brown bread, ale, eat. MMnnnn kippers.
