Complete madness at work today- we're switching to a new system and ugh ugh ugh.. But let's approach it with an open mind and an open bottle of wine. Huzzah!
The tagliatelle was a delight last night.. Yum! Here's a cheap recipe I concocted (sp?) a couple of months ago that works as a side or an appetizer.
Veggie Fritter Things
One small package of frozen veg. (I use the peas, corn, carrot one)
One cube of veggie stock
1 egg
2 tbsp of freshly grated parmesan
1/4 cup of breadcrumbs
3 tbsp of flour
Pinch of nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for frying
1 onion
Drop the stock cube into a pot of boiling water. Add frozen veg and chopped up onion to the boiling soup until the veg is cooked slightly. Strain and then add to a blender with the parmesan. Pulse a couple of times until the veg is slightly mushy (technical term). Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl (the colour will be icky but don't be afraid). Add the one egg, flour, breadcrumbs and seasonings and mix together. (Colour will still be icky). Heat a pan up with the olive oil to medium heat. Once completely heated, add spoonfuls of the veggie batter to the pan to make small pancakes. Flip over and cook both sides until they are a deep brown. Place the finished pancakes on a paper towel to soak up any extra grease. Serve with any sauce you like! These pancakes can also be a base for other dishes as well.. For example, make a bigger pancake and place it on a plate in the middle. Top with the chicken in the cream sauce I wrote about before. Add a colourful side like sweet potato fries (recipe later). Pureety..
Bon Apetit!
