Christmas Tree 4004 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Fuck! Just mentioned this to the daughter who said "of course it is, it's one of the best known brands". Cue her running to the fridge to read the label "cream alternative" Cue her googling elmlea. It's "whipped vegetable fat". You must think we're bumpkins!

Tooj 17 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Tonight I'm doing Palestinian/lebanese flat breads with 3 bean garlic and chilli. Served with cucumber, onion and youghurt as a side dish to tinker with. Sounds nice that Park Life. Hoy up the recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Sounds nice that Park Life. Hoy up the recipe. It's really easy and no kerfuffle. Flat breads (You can use nan or any kind of flat bread from the supermarket or asian/arab shop). The thinner the better. These will just need heating in a dry pan for 10/20 secs each side at the last moment before serving. These aren't exact amounts, I just cook it as I see it. Beans ---------- Green beans chopped and boiled off for a few mins. (You want tinned cooked beans but rinse off the excess salt that they sit in). Haricot beans Butter beans. Fava beans Kidney beans (Whatever beans you have handy really). ---------------------- One red onion A mountain of garlic Half a tsp of chicken stock powder or half a cube. Red wine vinegar Fresh corriander fresh mint Humous Cous Cous or Quinoa or Bulgar wheat. Harrisa paste or powder Lemon juice ( half a lemon or so..) Tom puree sea salt and cracked black pepper. Cooking bit: --------------- Hoy in the onion and garlic in olive oil and fry for a bit till the garlic has melted. Chuck in all the beans and 5-7 teaspoons of Quinoa/Cous Cous etc..(This makes the sauce dry and gives body). Add a dash of water with the puree. Red wine ving and stock powder and a bit more water so it all mixes.. Simmer for about 10 mins gettting as much liquid away as poss..(Check cous cous isn't too hard)... Add lemon juice and the corriander and mint (finely chopped fistful) about 2 min before finish...(Don't want these too degraded).. Taste it as you go for futher seasoning etc... For the yoghurt. Big tub of plain yog Harissa powder or paste/ little bit of honey. Cucumber and red onion finely diced. Mix those into the yoghurt - balance honey and harrissa depending how hot you like it. Put beans mix into warmed flatbread and smear a thick line of homous in there as well and roll up. Little bowl of the yog/harrissa mix per person... While eating dip filled breads into Youghurt sauce. Goes well with a nice Pilsner. Prep time about 12-15min all in.

Christmas Tree 4004 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Tonight's tea (which Im having second thoughts about, but its too late). Lamb steaks in a hastily googled recipe which had an excellent rating but didnt sound right so I amended it. Honey roasted chantenay carrots and parsnip. Gordon Ramsays sautéed Charlotte potatoes with garlic, rosemary and butter. Gravy (although I will only be giving out a tiny amount) Bit worried that its all going to be a bit garlicky but hey Ho, that's the fun I guess.

Brock Manson 0 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 CT - at work I use your aforementioned salt/pepper combo. At home I'm currently using sea salt and rock salt according to whatever I'm making. If you like, you can experiment with your own seasoned salt or just buy it ready-made from the supermarket. As an aside, never never never season with table salt. Parky, I'm going to make that flatbread recipe next time I cook for the mrs. Load her up with tasty beans so I might get to flick her bean.
