That's it, enough of cake talks now. I did cook/make some healthy salads for our dinner and breakfast. First evening I made "Fig & parsley salad and bean & olive salad with lemon and garlic dressing" Using produces from the farm shop.
We had some risotto for a few days too. It was a bit trouble finding risotto rice...not sure why not everyone(spars) had the rice.... This is what I cooked.
I roasted some green, red pepper and a round courgette, left skin on, slice them, in a mean time cook risotto rice accordingly to the cooking instruction on the packet. Saute some garlic and white onion, add rice. I would use little bit white wine, make veggie stock, slowly add to the rice. keep stirring. When the rice is done to al dante, add some chopped parsley(or herbs of your choice) and season. Serve on the rice onto a plate, top with the roasted veggies. Drizzle some oil on the plate make it look pretty! Risotto is eazy, quick and yummy.
This is another risotto dish I cooked. I used left over vegetables in the fridge. I cooked "chili, sun dried tomato risotto with roasted round courgette" Again, I used lots of good extra virgin olive oil...Oh, I bought a packet of local salt(it's grey!) and the salt takes flavour of food really well and not too salty either. And it was very cheap. 500g for €1.90. Of course, I took the rest of salt with me. I only used a tiny bit while we were there anyway. When we were on our way back to the airport on Sunday, Marcus showed me where those salt were made. I'd never seen how salt was produced. Cool! Marcus had his birthday week before, I told him I would like take him out for dinner. So, we were looking at menus for something we could eat. I could understand a bit of French menu(only some kitchen French I know), most of dishes were either meat or fish, or contained wheat. So, after a 3 days looking, we gave up, and on Thursday, I cooked dinner. I wanted to do some dishes a bit like tapas, but didn't turn up how I would hoped, but using beautiful veggies, taste yummy anyway. This is what I cooked.
"Roasted round courgettes with home made tapanade", "Roasted aubergine with salsa rosso", "potato with mint dressing", "fennel and orange salad", "Jerusalem artichoke with olives and walnuts".
I love salsa rosso, I sometimes make it, and eat with my buckwheat pasta(or gluten-free pasta) instead of using cooked tomato sauce. Also, it also makes yummy topping for tofu sausages and pumpkin mash. Breakfast, we generally had some fruits smoothies and kaki. But me being naughty, I had either pain aux raisin or pain aux chocolat.....
Don't they look beautiful♥♥♥
These are our snack/lunch when we went for long(?) walk to the light house(please see my other blog!) We got some buckwheat crackers and assorted mini vegetarian pates from the health food shop. It's always pleasure to eat pates!!! Assorted ones like theses are good trial sizes to different flavours. I don't get bord either! I sometimes get complain from people around me saying "norie, what are you eating? It stinks!" When I hear comment like this, I normally am eating mushroom pate in a tube or veggie pate. It might stink but can't help eating, they are yummy. More tastier and lot less smellier than some shitty meat pate(and cheap) from cheap supermarket(and that's what they eat) anyway! What are they chatting about??? Well, never mind. Some people have passion for complaining, they need to do that to survive. So, let them, and when I'm feeling bord hearing(I don't really listen) it, tell them to shut the f**k up politely. Anyway, I've been dreaming about kaki since we got back...I can't wait for our next adventure and kaki♥♥♥
i love fig!!!!!!
