| From: Plenty (reviewed 28th October 2012)A vegetarian take on paella. The recipe says it generously serves 2, but this is an understatement, at least for women. It easily serves 3.
And very good it was. I didn't have broad beans or artichokes in oil, so I substituted frozen peas and fried eggplant, and used cilantro instead of parsely to garnish. |
| From: Plenty (reviewed 4th November 2012)The focus of this shakshuka (apart from the eggs) is peppers. I made about a third of a recipe, using green, yellow, and red peppers, adding a bit of garlic and using less oil and no saffron.
It was very good, but because it calls for a bit of muscovado sugar, and the onion partially caramelizes before you even add the sugar, I found it too sweet, at least to go with eggs.
Ottolenghi uses a lot of oil for this (and other) recipes. Even reduced by half, it could have used less. |
| From: Plenty (reviewed 4th November 2012)This is essentially a quiche made with roasted vegetables, ricotta, and feta. It was delicious. Roasting the vegies is a bit of extra palaver but well worth it. As usual with this type of recipe, I used evaporated milk instead of cream to try to keep the fat down.
Although I blind baked the tart shell, it had a few holes and I was using a tart pan with a removable bottom, so some of the liquid leaked out, but it was still great. |
| From: Plenty (reviewed 4th November 2012)This couscous was excellent. It reminded me a bit of the Moroccan Roasted Vegetables from one of my Moosewood cookbooks, but the flavouring was more subtle.
I really liked the addition of butter to the cooked couscous.
I bought parsley root instead of parsnip (they look very much the same) and really enjoyed the flavour.
Definitely will make this again. |
