I'd love some.

Currently attempting some late night frying of tofu as it's the only thing in the apartment. Starvin' like.

Haven't been down in a couple of years. Last time we went down we stayed in their B+B. Jazz CD's in each room. Magical little minibar with all sorts of goodies. Class stuff indeed and a breakfast to die for.

Twas an 'Almond pastry galette of wilted spinach, Knockalara sheep's cheese (we had to use feta) and crushed potato with tomato-cardamom relish.'

It was also very very tasty. We used a bit to much filo but it still worked out fine.

Just threw a whole bunch of veg in the frying pan with some pesto sauce and had some cabbage on the side. Gonna go into town tomorrow and buy myself a food processor so I can make my own sauces. Sick of all the **** they add into store bought ones.

flikflak

^ I would happily marry my food processor! Life without it would be rubbish.

Thank you Moulinex for many, many lovely meals.

maameeo

cant stop eating dry muesli at my desk in work, i wont be able to have dinner at this rate!

Ms. Koi

Had wraps with lettuce, quorn chicken pieces and cheese with mayo. Yummeh!

Jim

Veggie Korma with lentils, onion, garlic, peas, broccoli, cabbage on the side, and best of all, home made korma sauce!

Dinkie

Its actually really easy to make.

This is a link to one of the recipes in case my explanation isn't clear:

http://entertaininganytime.typepad.com/sparkling_ink/2010/04/-rice-paper-rolls-.html


Buy rice paper and glass noodles in any asian shop (v. cheap). You can buy round or square rice paper. I buy square as i find it easier to roll.

1. Put the glass noodles into a bowl of boiling water
   
2. Chop up what ever veg you like into strips (like you were making sushi).
   
3. Mix some mayo and wasabi together
   
4. Put a sheet of the rice paper into warm water until soft enough to fold (takes about 10 seconds).
   
5. Dry off sheet. (there are some good youtube videos if you are not sure).
   
6. In centre of sheet slather some mayo/wasabi mix
   
7. On top of that add your vege
   
8. Fold like a burrito

It can dry out, so if your not eating it straight away, put a damp clean teatowel over it.

Dip it in sweet chilli sauce or what ever you feel like.

I do most things by feel, look and touch, so don't actually know what quantities of everything I used - sorry.

Any type of vege can be used.
