weekend activity (including veg curry)

I had a busy day in the kitchen on Sunday – bottled up some white wine, started off some red (this sounds simple, but there’s endless washing and sterilising involved). Made a couple of banana cakes,  cooked mushrooms with cumin and spinach, and fried potatoes with spices, for supper, and hurled a load of veg into the slow cooker to make a veg curry.

Prepped and chopped two large sweet potatoes, half an aubergine (left over from Saturday’s moussaka), one red onion, one red pepper and a butternut squash, and lobbed them into the slow cooker.

Minced lots of ginger and garlic, ground up green cardamon seeds, pomegranate seeds, coriander seeds.  Fried that lot off in a little ground nut oil with some flaked dried chillis.  Added a tin of coconut milk and brought to the boil.

Added this mix to the slow cooker.  Looked at it.  Added another tin of coconut milk, and some salt and pepper.

Switched it on and went to the pub for the monthly quiz (we won!).

This was supposed to be last night’s supper for us, and a couple of tubs for the freezer. However, in an over-wined condition, we invited friends round for bicycle fettling and supper, so it’s all gone now.  But at least I didn’t have to *do* anything.  And there was banana cake for pudding too 🙂

    Found your blog through a comment you left on an article about the new TV show about economy cooking. What a fascinating read your blog is. I love how you adapt your menu to suit the contents of your veg box!! Will definately visit again 🙂
