Yesterday was salad day. Dipped
Yesterday was salad day. Dipped into the Millennium Cookbook for some inspirations - as usual, 50% of the recipes contained wierd, wonderful and American-named ingredients which I couldn’t get hold of, but I managed all sorts of things (thinking of making myself a little food website, with American-English translations, like Cilantro -> Coriander, Arugula -> Rocket, Scallions -> Spring Onions etc., and with some nice pictures and tips. One day). I roasted some chunks of butternut squash and tossed them in the delicious creamy green peppercorn and dill dressing (liquidized tofu, soya milk, honey, garlic, lemon juice, dill… with green peppercorns and capers pulsed in at the end - scrummy), made a marinaded cabbage and carrot salad which, with its dressing of lemon juice and salt, had a very Indian or Mexican tase, not 100% sure whether I liked it but… it was a change. Also made some stuff for keeps - pickled ginger slices, quince chutney. And when I was at Beanies buying for all this stuff I found some more rhubarb, so it’s back to Nigella tomorrow…
