Experimentation with bananas and loose batter and deep frying. Needs work, but potential. Just have to wait for another banana to get overripe, so I can repeat the upgraded experiment. If it works, you'll read about it. If it doesn't, I may regret having even mentioned it.
Experimentation with broccoli as a pasta sauce base - very tasty. Remembered that I haven't done another foodie film for a while, and it might be time to get myself organised on that... but for now, just know it was as easy as chopping the broccoli (about 120gm-ish) down to almost a couscous size, sauteing it in butter and olive oil (a tablespoon and half tbsp respectively) with a dash of water for about five minutes (as long as it took to cook the fresh tagliatelle) seasoned with half a teaspoon of Marigold vege stock powder and a healthy shake of black pepper. Stir in a rounded dessert spoon of plain flour and let that cook off and soak up the butter and oil, then spoon in as much of the pasta water as is required to gain the sauce consistency you desire. (Stir constantly to avoid claggy lumps - jus' warnin'...) Add the grated cheese of choice, then add the drained pasta and stir through. I wanted blue cheese but didn't have any, so made do with a perfectly tasty Scottish cheddar.
Shame I didn't think to photograph it for you. Instead, here's a random shot of cold, wet stone and a Gull's shell midden...
scottish cheddar... now you waked something inside of me... hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteI LOVE CHEESE! and the good news is, I can eat hard cheeses without harm to the tummy. I do have to take a dairy supplement, but I get those free with my insurance. this brocooli thing sounds delish to me.. no photo necessary, this is easy and I can see it in MY Minds Eye, not cecilias HA HA

DeleteGlad it appeals! You know we share a gut disorder, and finding stuff that sits comfortably can be a challenge - if anyone has trouble with gluten, then any of the alternative flours can be used for thickening.... or even don't bother - just let the butter and veg and melty cheese to the 'saucing'! Yxx
Today was grocery day. OMCs there was frost on the car. First frost of the year!
ReplyDeleteI like the ankle warmers. Foodies await the next episode of cooking with YAM

I liked your video! Bring it on! Good to see you.
ReplyDeleteDear Yam aunty, i like a little green 'salad' daily but brocoli is not in any of my food groups. I expect F will be eating a lot more of it and similar northern european winter greens in coming months. Xxx Mr T
ReplyDeleteYour ankle warmers look like they will do a good job helping you keep warm this winter. Your broccoli sauce sounds tasty.
ReplyDeleteI like watching British bake off. I seen a few of the sewing one as well.
