These little meatballs can be made ahead of time for an easy light lunch. SErve with salad and Catalan tomato bread. The recipe is from ” Simple Food” by Jill Dupleix.
A very good vegetarian chilli using tinned beans from ” The Art of the Larder” by Claire Thomson. The basic recipe can also be used to make a couple of variations- chilli baked under a blanket or cornbread or roasted in peppers with cheese and sour cream. Claire is bringing out a new recipe book on one pot bean dishes which will be published in Febuary 2025. I cant wait and have already preordered the book.
A very good version of rarebit ( or posh cheese on toast) from ” Good Things to Eat ” by Lucas Hollweg. I grew up in Somerset, and for many years cider was my favourite tipple, so Im always keen to find recipes that celebrate our local apples, cheese and cider.
A very good storecupboard standby supper from ” Veggie Family Cook Book” by Claire Thomson. Sauerkraut is fermented cabbage and it is now widely recognised that fermented foods can play an important role in supporting gut health.
Aquacotta is a simple but classic Italian soup from the Maremma coastal region of Tuscany. I found this version in Claire Thomson’s “Veggie Family Cook Book “.
As my husband is vegetarian I cook with eggs quite a lot and am always on the lookout for new recipes. This scrumptious riff on Menemen is an all in one pan dish that I found in the excellent vegetarian Turkish cook book ” Sebze” by Ozlem Warren.
