Thai Green Vegetable Curry (4-6)

This Thai green vegetable curry is typical of the cooking found in the south of Thailand. You can use most vegetables- I used carrot instead of aubergine in the version pictured but do use the round thai aubergines or baby aubergines if you can find them. I also often substitute the home made thai green curry paste with ready made- using 2-4 tbsps depending on the strength. The recipe is from ” World Food Cafe” by Chris and Carolyn Calidicott.

Oyster Mushroom Noodles (2)

A vegetarian noodle dish with Eastern European influences. Be patient when you are frying the onions- they need to be caramelised slowly so do not be tempted to rush them. My supermarket had no fresh egg noodles but they did have Lentil Protein Noodles and they worked well. Don’t be put of by the long list of ingredients- its quite easy to prepare. The recipe is from ” Mezcla” by Ixta Belfrage and is so good i will make it on repeat.

Scrambled Eggs with Spring Garlic and Mushrooms (2)

While in England we tend to have scrambled eggs for breakfast in Spain they are more likely to be offered for lunch or supper. There are many versions, but this is a favourite vegetarian one. If you like, you could add prawns. The oyster mushrooms could be replaced with other wild mushrooms such as girolles.
