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.
Home made Beetroot Crisps trump the packet version hands down, and can be served on their own, in salads or to accompany game and duck. This recipe is from ” Simply British” by Sybil Kapoor. The crisps can be made in advance and reheated in a low oven.
Yesterday was my birthday and as a surprise my husband took me out to the relatively recently opened Mowgli in Bristol. I was sorely tempted by these Treacle Tamarind Fries but managed to resist. However, here is the recipe from the excellent cookbook ” Mowgli Street Food” by Nisha Katona.
These flavour packed and very moreish roast potatoes can be served as a side or a main. If serving as a main top with a fried egg and a drizzle of chilli oil. The recipe is from ” The Asian Pantry” by Dominique Woolf. and goes very well with the Thai Chicken Curry Pie from the same book.
These chips can be easily baked at home and are very good served with any versions of Shakshuka or similar egg dishes. They also go very well with Muhammara. The recipe is from ” Sebze” by Ozlem Warren.
A great way with white cabbage from one of my favourite cookbooks , ” Mowgli Street Food” by NIsha Katoona. She finally opened the Bristoil branch of this restaurant chain about 6 months ago, but I have yet to eat there.
A recipe from ” Nigella Christmas” by Nigella Lawson. She suggests serving it with hot or cold ham, turkey, roast goose or roast pork. Make sure you use unadulterated, unsweetend pomegranate juice. It improves with a bit of keeping so can be made in advance and reheated. One less thing to do when preparing the big meal!
A delicious side for autumn and winter. It’s from ” The Abel & Cole Veg Box Companion” by Keith Abel. It can be made a day or two in advance and be reheated. It also freezes well.
