No carbs cheese board...NO guilt!! Demolished the lot !
Obsessed with blue cheese, the market in the school yard on a Sunday just off broadway market has the best deals and selection and they make pies!! :-)
Ted looking handsome and interested, always.
Pile it high, add some chutney, I'm pretty much into anything sweet, caramelised onions always good, keep it simple!
Really seriously interested...just resting his head!!!
4 batches of home made pastry, 2 mins in the Kenwood mixer and it's done-
180g plain flour
85g butter (you can do half lard if you want)
45ml of water
Butter the tin then press the pastry into all the edges and prick with a fork so it doesn't bubble up when cooking- bake for 20/25 on 180.
Make sure you use either baking beans or foil or something to make sure the pastry keeps its shape and doesn't balloon. Cheat and use foil.
Pie thing number two!! Red onion caramelised with balsamic and brown sugar, then add sliced figs, thyme ad salt and pepper. I let this cook and soften on the hob for 15mins then just place puff pastry over the top and cook for another 15/20mins int he oven on 180.
You can use any veg to add to that tart- have used broccoli , red onion here...it's good. Add goats cheese, feta, whatever you fancy.
Grated cheese on top...makes it look even better.
Roasted courgette, red onion, cherry tomato, butter beans, capers and spinach salad, olive oil, lemon zest and salt and pepper...that simple
YUM
Rocket, orange segments, red cabbage and a honey, lemon dressing...so simple, but really good. Add nuts, walnuts, goats cheese, feta or burratta, garlic croutons or whatever you fancy to bulk it out and make it a full healthy dish.
Love this...and the colours are so good, looks good!
Roast new potatoes...simple but fit, just add rock salt and olive oil, rosemary if you fancy.
This is how the upside down onion fig and goats cheese tart turned out. The balsamic and brown sugar made it so good. Add chopped parsley to garnish. Slice and serve.
Add fresh tomatoes and basil too if you want!
TARTS...so obsessed with making them, it's the easiest thing to do when you've got people over especially because you can serve cold.
Honey and marmelade glazed ham.
Looks so cute...love a buffet style dins.
Then here we all are, we've improved our bunting since then!!
The presentation plate!!! Looks alright!
Kit, looking so into his food, love that!!
This was supposed to be a rabbit on the grass...now just roadkill!! Any idea on how to make jelly moulds work??
