What did you cook/eat today (October 2019)?

[Morning Glory]

roasted cauliflower and leeks, tossed in coarsely ground mustard seed and caraway seed.

That sounds so delightful.

Its a bit unusual in salad here too but I do like them that way. If you cut them thin and marinate them they really soak up flavour.

I just love them cooked!!

Is it? I've always eaten the standard varieties raw. Never thought twice about it. My salads that have them in, all have raw mushrooms in them.

It was meant to be good, but we were less than impressed. It's one recipe we won't be trying again. Shame. It had looked so good in the write up but it wad also a badly written recipe when you tried it out.

This is a whilst I've still got electricity meal...
Storms coming through have taken it down twice so far which is unusual here in my part of NSW.

Pumpkin Gnocchi with Homemade Dairy-free Cheese Sauce

I might need to work on presenting cheese sauce! Its darker than normal because hubby bought every version of miso he could find except for the blue label one I wanted... and then I also added black garlic for a change.

Thank you. Sadly it could have been much better. The recipe started off by cooking the pasta. Then saying marinate the tofu, then said cook in oven for 25 minutes, then make sauce up... I tried to rearrange things after I saw this part way through, step 1 unhelpfully on page 1, the rest on page 2. I'd also had to make the cajun spice mix which I stupidly did whilst the pasta was cooking. I should have left the pasta until the very end but I wasn't feeling well, was rushed and didn't read it through properly. The timings were crap. The pasta sat partially cooked waiting for 30 minutes or more for the sauce which didn't have much heat or flavour to it and was bitty. We followed the recipe to the letter . I should have gone with my instincts and switched the firm tofu for either cashew nuts or silken tofu, both of which I have. It would have worked much better texture wise.

Chicken schnitzel with kumara chips, fresh asparagus picked this morning and two fried eggs. Great meal!!

It looks like butterscotch Instant Whip! Did you make the pumpkin gnocchi?

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Did you make the pumpkin gnocchi?

No. Given its organic and literally contains potatoes, pumpkin, flour, egg, canola oil and salt and happens to be sensible price and good, I can't see the point. But I do make my own gnocchi normally (including nettle gnocchi). This one is the exception.

 

[Windigo]

Mini baguettes with avocado, siracha and a touch of mayo for lunch.

Flexitarian day with vegetarian meatballs, beans, carrots, rice and home made spicy peanut sauce.

No pic, but a turkey-and-cheese sandwich, with some chocolate-and-peanut butter candies for after.

Fish fingers, pink mash and beans. A Winner's Dinner.
