Recipe Challenge - Book #26

Tuesday, 8 September 2020

It feels like we're stuck in the middle section of the book shelf at the moment with a long way to go.  This week's book was another one more suitable to warmer climates - I think we got it when we were in Sydney after a hot weekend at Hardy's Bay.  It's mostly filled with salads, cold meals and hardly any vegetarian dishes. It was a bit behind its time really!

So it took me ages to find something that looked do-able, and when I found something, I couldn't find the corresponding recipe to the picture so I just had to muddle through. I think I did pretty well though. Here's the picture:

And here's the final result when I served it up.. to tell they truth they both look a little ungrateful.

So, feeling the effects of their icy stares (see what I did there), I had another scour through the book. I settled on this:

and while I had a uni lecture, Jon turned this:

into this:

and it was pretty delicious. The only problem was that it had raw garlic in the salsa verde - it tasted good at the time, but when I happened to wake up at 4am the taste of garlic in my mouth was so strong it was hard to go back to sleep!  So my conclusion is that this book is a bit of a waste of space. I'd be more likely to keep it if it had more than about 4 vegetarian options but it doesn't, so it's going onto the 'out' pile.
