October 26th - I got a new cookbook for my birthday from my son - Mr Palaeo- so decided to bite the bullet straight away and give one of the recipes a bash. Velvet Summer Quiche sounded nice....and well it was a bit of an Indian summer, with the temperatures unseasonably warm and the sun shining! Macadamia oil? You have to be joking. Onions and red pepper were gently fried in oil while the sweet potato roasted for 15 minutes in the oven. Then fresh thyme, garlic, basalmic vinegar and salt were added (all present and correct). Then eggs and cream were whisked and lemon zest and Parmesan added. The egg mixture was poured on top of the vegetable mix, which was on the base of a shallow dish. The result was a lot lighter than a quiche, having no pastry...so thumbs up to the new book. Hope you are impressed son!
That looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnd what do you mean by "bite the bullet"??? <- Note the number of question marks.
Maybe I'M guilty of passive-aggressive gift giving myself....
Very chuffed to have the first ever comment on my blog! Thanks..you would have scoffed this! And maybe we all need a bit of encouragement along the way from time to time.......x
