Seeing as how all the members of the Nightshade family, potatoes, peppers and tomatoes etc are highly toxic for her, think of severely sore joints and swollen fingers, she scratches old brain and has to find ways with other vegetables to make delicious things to eat.
And this recipe is truly great.. Read on, Dear Readers, read on and remember to go and buy a few sweet potatoes this week. The amount given should feed four, unless you're greedy like us!
Ingredients needed are:
Preheat oven to 200C / 400F / Gas mark 6. Plus a grill.
2 Sweet potatoes - wash well, leave their skins on and cut into two lengthways.
1Tbsp of vegetable oil.
1 Tsp of coriander seeds crushed.
Large pinch of ground cinnamon.
Fresh thyme sprigs.
1Tbsp of creme fraiche.
2 Tbsp of soft white breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp of parmesan - freshly grated.
Salt & pepper.
Method:
Mix vegetable oil, crushed coriander seeds, cinnamon, thyme, good pinch of salt & pepper.
Rub this mix all over the sweet potatoes.
Put onto a baking tray, cut side up and roast for 40 minutes.
Take potatoes out of oven, turn on the grill to a medium heat.
Scoop flesh out of the skins, try not to damage the skins.
Stir the flesh with the creme fraiche, adjust the seasoning.
Put the flesh into the skins.
Then sprinkle the bread crumbs and parmesan on top.
Grill for 5 minutes, they should be crisp and golden.
Now.. don't squeak and say we never give you anything! For this is a truly fabulous dish to make ahead of time and it's easy-peasy to boot!
She has her nose into a 'Who dun'it', there'll be no sense out of her this afternoon, 'tis a good thing I've got so many feathers to preen and a comfy old door to sit upon whilst I do it. BusyBusy.. I hope you are too or are having a quick nipnet (drink) before you have to go and feed you and yours?
We generally only eat twice a day, we break our fast and then we have a late lunch, supper is usually an apple, a scrap of cheese and some nuts. Mind you, I haven't ever heard her say "no thank you" when invited out to supper and we do, occasionally, have people to supper here.
But that won't happen anytime in the near future, for our pretty sitting room is a 'factory' at the moment and then it will be turned into a plant room with seedlings everywhere jostling for light.
Gardening to be truthful, which you always should be, is hard work but the rewards are tremendous. For your own home grown: Herbs, flowers, fruit and vegetables are, simply, the best. You've just got to get down and dirty and do it and now she has got over the fear of finding little shed vandalised and the plots in a reallyreally bad way, which they aren't, that's where you'll find us, when we're not otherwise engaged, down on the plots by the A316!
