We accidentally (as you do) consumed a small fry up while on a 7 mile walk today – this is progress, as normally we’d have gone for the large version, but we did feel we deserved it, especially as I’d already walked 2.5 miles and swum 16 lengths this morning! Anyway, we didn’t want a…

roasted veg
This is a photograph from another roast veg, but all text makes a dull post 🙂 We used to have this a lot, but somehow got out of the habit.  But it’s a nice healthy meal while I’m battling with health issues, so off we went. Chopped an aubergine, a yellow pepper, half a butternut…
lunch today
Was the last of the chickpeas, that had already been enhanced with peppers. Â There were two elderly chorizo sausages in the fridge, so I chopped them up and fried them with a little olive oil – as always, they gave forth some lovely paprika-y, garlicy oil of their own, and once they’d crisped up, I…
chickpeas and peppers
I had a red and a yellow pepper starting to go a bit wrinkly, and some gingery chickpeas in the freezer, so I thought I’d combine them. I cut a red onion in half, and sliced it thinly, then deseeded the peppers, and cut them into thin strips. Â Started them off on the hob in…
chickpeas and chard
There was a bunch of swiss chard lurking in the fridge; and we were slightly over-tomato’d. Â So I soaked some chickpeas overnight on Friday, and bunged them in the slow cooker with some boiling water at early o’clock on Saturday, so that we could construct something for supper. Sliced the chard into 1 cm strips,…
chickpeas and tuna for lunch
Into a bowl went: 1 can chickpeas 1 can tuna in sunflower oil 1 chopped sweet red pepper 3 chopped spring onions 6 or so chopped radishes some cress lime juice, mayonnaise, tamari Mixed it all up, decanted into two bowls, ate with a wheat tortilla – made  a lovely change.
chickpea and vegetable tagine
Sorry for the lack of posts – too much work, combined with end of year accounts and VAT return due – and the new freezer due for delivery at the end of this week (hurrah!) has meant that  we are eating out of the freezer, mostly.  It’s stuff we’ve cooked and frozen, but not very…
gingery chickpeas
More experimentation with the slow cooker, this. I started on Wednesday evening (i.e. 2 days before we ate this!), by putting some chickpeas (probably about 2.5 mugs full) to soak in cold water overnight. We do always have tins in the larder, but I like to used dried where possible, as they are so much…
aubergine and chickpea curry
the makings of aubergine and chickpea curry, originally uploaded by ramtops. using up: aubergines, a sweet potato I bought some aubergines from the farm shop last weekend – they were a bit tired, but when I looked at them on Tuesday they really did need cooking. So I bunged in some chickpeas to soak, boiled…
chicken and apricot tagine
using up: some chicken thighs, peppers in green, red and yellow We needed to do some cooking for the freezer, so we looked at the ingredient stocks to see what we had. And what we had was a big bag of chicken thighs in the outside freezer, and thus a chicken tagine was born. On…
