A jazzed up version of cheese on toast from ” Caravan : Dining All Day” by Miles Kirby, Laura Harper-Hinton and Chris Ammermann. The jam can be made up to three weeks in advance and stored in the fridge, making this easy to make on the day. Use a good sourdough bread and flavourful cheddar.
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.
Green beans are cooked in olive oil like this in Turkey , where they are usually served warm, or at room temperature, rather than hot. This recipe is from ” Comfort” by Yotam Ottolengji, and the beans will keep in the fridge for up to three days.
These Cheesy Curried Beans from Yotam Ottolenghi make a quick and easy brunch, lunch or supper . They are best made with jarred beans but you can also use a tin. A 400g tin gives about 300g beans, so I increase the cream and cheese to take this into account. You could add extra spicing if you like.
This retro Jewish classic from Odesa is served on rye bread. It’s from ” Summer Kitchens” by Olia Hercules.You can use Gruyere or Cheddar but any tasty hard cheese works.
