for fabulously frugal food
Anyone who grows tomatoes over the summer brings the last of them indoors as the days shorten. You don’t need to do anything with them. Just pile them up in a bowl and they will gradually ripen. One of two recipes always come up, either a green tomato chutney recipe, or a fried green tomatoes recipe. But there are lots of other ways to answer the question ‘what can I do with green tomatoes’
Absolutely delicious! The flavour has a delicate citrus undertone which is just what I was after. I used 2 tsps of cardamom seeds, which seemed like a lot, but gave a subtle flavour. Next time I might use ground cardamom as I’d like to see what it’s like with more of that taste
This couldn’t be more classic, other than the the tomatoes, which are completely optional. There are 100’s of possible combinations!
Make the most of this seasonal treat by making a few pots of wonderful jam
I didn’t have a cauliflower, so used broccoli instead and was very pleased with the outcome. I knew it would be nice!
A fresh and delicious loaf with red pepper and onion, no need to knead, so simple to make
I made some lovely caramelised red onion chutney yesterday and I’m really pleased with it. The only problem is, I don’t know whether to call it red onion marmalade or red onion chutney!
Jacket potatoes filled with cheese are one of the most popular ways to eat a baked potato.
These pitta bread are the ones I made on a Greek Cuisine course I went on with my husband at Claverham College. One of the things we made were these pitta bread.
I think you will be able to see from the picture that they are pillowy, puffy and soft. They were easy to do, and as they are so basic ingredients, very cheap.
These easy poached pears are made without alcohol, are super tasty, taste indulgent and are budget option
This rice can be dialed up to be VERY coconutty, which is how I first had it, or made more subtle. I really liked it super coconutty
