Sue’s daughter Claire bought her a Cheese making kit for Mothers Day. As we were plunged into Lock Down and we love messing about in the kitchen this turned out to be the best gift possible. Or first completed Cheese was the cornerstone of last nights meal and it was really good.
Our only alteration next time we do this recipe will be to use slightly less Salt in the drying stage and just give it a bit more time.

Well I guess we're all in the same boat? We've a reasonable amount of dried foods, plenty in freezer, but we've forgotten some bits and bobs. So we've had to swap a few ingredients.
(1) No Lettuce? Use the greens from the top on a bunch of Beetroot!
(2) We don't have much salad in all all and can't get any, so use 4 Potato Waffles to add bulk!
A bowl of thin hand cut fries, some homemade red Cabbage & Celeriac Coleslaw and homemade Onion rings. It might not have been the healthiest meal, but it tasted gooood!

We like to set ourselves little challenges. We’ve done the “Ingredients Alphabet”, “Around the World” etc. So this time we’re going to jump on the Vegetarian gig and do a “Vegetarian Alphabet”
Aubergine for “A” works.
We;re not into the “Fake Meat” concept so the Urad Dal which we bought from the local Continental shop added the Meaty texture.
Ingredients:-
Urad Dal – (Split Black Lentils)
½ tube of Tomato Puree
1 Aubergine halved and scooped out. (Save the flesh)
3 Onions, sliced
2 cloves of Garlic, minced
Mixed Herbs
Salt & Pepper
Chilli Flakes
Mushrooms, sliced
Grated Cheese
Cherry Tomatoes
Oil
Method:-
(1) Add the Tomato Puree to a little water in a saucepan and bring the Urad Dal to the boil. Reduce the heat, season with Salt and Pepper and simmer for a good hour. Add extra water as required as they are very thirsty little dudes.
(2) When the Urad Dal has expanded and softened take them off the heat.
(3) In a frying pan fry the Onions until translucent.
(4) Add the Mushrooms and fry for a further 5 minutes on a low heat.
(5) Cut the Aubergine lengthways, scoop most of the flesh out and Oil.
(6) Place in the oven at 180c and roast for 30 minutes.
(7) Add the Aubergine flesh, Urad Dal and all the other ingredients excluding the grated Cheese and halved Cherry Tomatoes to the frying pan and fry gently stirring occasionally.
(8) Remove the Aubergine halves from the oven and stuff with your filling.
(9) Heat the grill.
(10) Dress with the Cherry Tomatoes and grated Cheese and place under the grill.
(11) When the Cheese has melted you’re good to go.
We served ours with Chips and Peas. It was really very tasty and filling.
