What did you eat today? (2-12)

[applepie]

Mmmm - that sounds nice. Was it like a curry?

Not really. I don't know how to classify it. It's a recipe a friend of mine brought back from Kenya where she was working for 6 months. Basically it's a very thick sauce consisting of onion, tomatoes, lots of coriander, a chili, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper. It was the first time I had plantain, and I really liked it.

White bread roll with Pure spread, Plamil mayonnaise, Cheatin' beef slice, half a small avocado and baby spinach leaves.

Wholewheat pasta with roasted vegetable sauce. Salad leaves.

I made this thread about kale theres a lot of very good looking recipes... When i get a huge celeriac I often make mashed root vegetables
400 g potatoes
200 g carrots
200 g celeriac
3 cloves of garlic

You just peel and dice the vegetables and boil in water with garlic until tender.. Then mash with the boiling water or soymilk and a little margerine and salt... So good

[vava]

I bought some organic apricots - they are very different from the 'normal' dried apricots i buy they just taste of sweetness where the others taste of ........ apricots. Weird!

[cedarblue]

are they brownish with a caramel-toffeeish kind of taste? they're very intense aren't they? the orange ones are orange as they'll have been treated with suphur/sulphites or something.

[vava]

yes I thought they were dates to start with and then realised the difference. Perhaps I need to re-try them. I went to Holland and Barrett and bought dates, apricots, organic raisins, hazel nuts, brazil nuts pumpkin and sesame seeds and so when I got home I just went into gorge mode and stuffed everything in my gob to try it all.

If anyone has got any ideas as what to do with a big bag of kale and a huge celeriac then tell me my lovely vegan friendies!!!!! lol

Either toss the kale in lots of oil and roast for approx 10 minutes until slightly brown and crispy(keep checking as it cab burn very quickly)or stir fry it with lots of chopped onion and crushed garlic and add to mashed potato and add soya sauce.
Celeriac is yummy chopped and roasted or boiled and mashed with spuds.
