We love to eat frittata and I am always delighted when I get a recipe for a new version. This is from the recently published ” One Pan Beans” by Claire Thomson. This chef and food writer lives very near to me and we share the same local shops on our doorstep. I eagerly await every new publication and am slowly but steadily cooking my way through her books. I think the latest count is 11. She also now has her own recipe website named after her first book 5 Oclock Apron.
An easy gently spiced and fragrant curry, from ” The Art of the Larder” by Claire Thompson. Serve with brown or white rice and a jarred Indian pickle or chutney. Cook as many eggs as you would like to serve. In the version shown here I used chopped fresh beetroot leaves instead of frozen spinach, adding and cooking them for a few minutes before adding the coconut milk.
A favourite version of kedgeree that I have been trying to relocate the recipe for for some years. Traditionally the rice and fish would be mixed together and the dish served for breakfast, but this version is best served for lunch or supper accompanied by plenty of white basmati rice. The recipe is from ” Modern British Food” by Sybil Kapoor.
A modern version of a piquant red cabbage salad from Yorkshire which was known as ” Yorkshire Ploughboy” according to Dorothy Hartley in ” Food in England”. The recipe is from ” Simply British ” by Sybil Kapoor. It should be served with cold meat and jacket potato. It can also be served as a warm red cabbage salad ( see instructions).
An old favourite from ” Big Flavours and Rough Edges” by David Eyre and the Eagle Cooks. Its best to use undyed smoked haddock if you can get this. The Horseradish Mash can be replaced with Saffron Mash. Infuse a gram of saffron in the milk( or half milk and cream) while it is heating through and omit the horseradiash.
A classic South African recipe which is good served with a Tomato and Onion Salad. Any leftover filling will be even more delicious the next day served with rice or salad. It’s from Nokx Majozi and I found it in ” Chefs at Home” . The book was written to support Hospitality Action during Lockdowns in 2020 and 2021, and contains recipes from UK based chefs.
