From time to time we get some lovely recipes on here, I wondered if it was possible to have a topic heading RECIPES - then if we are stuck for something to make or if people wish to share their favourite recipes we would know where to look.
Here is a good one for non-meat eaters (Courtesy of the Somerfield's mag.)
BUTTERNUT SQUASH & RED PEPPER CURRY (Serves 2)
Ingredients - Half a butternut squash; 1 red pepper; 2 tomatoes; 100g. small green beans; 1 small onion; 1 clove garlic; 1 large red chilli; 20g. fresh root ginger; 10ml curry powder; 5ml garam masala; 10 ml sunflower oil; 1 lime; 150ml coconut milk; 15ml fresh coriander
Method - peel deseed and cube squash; core, deseed and cube pepper; dice tomatoes, halve the beans: Slice onion, peel and grate ginger and crush the garlic. Finely slice the chilli removing any seeds. Heat the oil in a large fring pan. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, chilli & spices - cook for 2-3 mins. until onions are soft. Add the squash, tomatoes & pepper. Cook for a further 2-3 mins. Add the cocanut milk, lime juice and 150ml water. Cover and cook for 20mins until squash is tender. Add the beans for last 5-7 mins. Finely chop the coriander and stir in before serving.

Sounds good - will have to try this recipe, Moh. Great idea for a topic. I might even post a recipe of my own. NOOOOO came the universal cry from all other OGFB members - not "Heather's Surprise" - anything but that... |

You could always drop the recipies into the Cookery forum down in the Hobbies section. One or two already in there.

I made fig chutney today. I don't know what it tastes like yet as it is still cooling. The figs were from the tree growing in our garden. This is the recipe I started to follow but ebded up modifying as I went along.
2 1/2 lb fresh figs, 1 finely chopped onion, 16 fluid oz malt vinegar, 12oz sugar, 4oz chopped preserved ginger, 2oz raisins, 1/2 each mixed spice, curry powder, ground cinnamon, 1tsp salt.
Wash figs and chop, place in pan with onion and half vinegar. bring to boil and then simmer until pulpy. Add remaining ingredients and stir until boiling. Simmer uncovered stirring occasionally until thickened. Pour into jars.
So here is what I ended up doing...
I added a chopped apple. I don't have preserved ginger so added ground. No malt vinegar so used 'vinaigre de vin'. Also didn't read recipe properly so everything went in all in one go. It looks and smells good. Will let you tomorrow when we try it at lunchtime!
Making fig jam next, probably tomorrow.

Mel, all chutney is good. I don't think it's possible to make a bad one. Rather than post a recipe, it might be useful to remind everyone about the Spanish Omelet. I haven't made one for a while but if you have a bowlful of ready-boiled potatoes in the fridge and some eggs and tomatoes you can knock up a wonderful meal in no time. They can be veggie or not and all the leftovers can go in. I used to make them in a cast iron frying pan and after setting the bottom on the hob, bang it under the grill to cook and brown the top. Lots of room for variations and they always taste good.

Tasted it last night - it is slightly vinegary...maybe a little too much of the wrong type of vinegar? It is edible though and will go well with good cheese.

I made a chicken tikka masala last night - recipe in the Somerfield's mag - it was not good, too dry, there was one on Britain's Best Dish which I might try.

Tried the chutney properly today...not just juice but a bit of fruit too. Lovely sweet/tart balance.
We have fig jam bubbling away today!

Told you so! Chutney always works and it keeps forever. The older it is the better.

Would someone like to post the fish pie recipe?
I don't very often follow every word of a recipe but I do tend to use one as a guide. Still learning you see...young wife and all that. Learning what works and what doesn't!
