Spiced Carrot Fritters

August 6, 2020 By sue 1 Comment

These spiced carrot fritters are a great standby alternative to corn fritters for a weekend lunch or to freeze and bring out for weekday lunches. I nearly always have a carrot in the fridge or in the garden to use for this but you could equally make this recipe with grated courgette, beetroot or squash - or a mixture. You can also use red onions, brown onions or even leeks in place of the spring onions depending on what you have. And add a big handful of whatever herbs you have available, … [Read more...]

Serve with eggs and avocado

This recipe is based on the traditional 'bubble and squeak' where all your leftovers are cooked up together to make a tasty meal the next day.

March 20, 2015 By sue Leave a Comment

A woman I met at the foodstore was extolling the virtues of kelp noodles and how nutritious they were, and how they make a nice salad with carrots and cucumbers.  That was enough for me to give them a go as I had lots of carrots and cucumbers coming on in the garden. So here is the salad I made - the peanut miso dressing is definitely a tasty winner. Julienned Carrot and Cucumber Kelp Noodles (no cooking required) Dressing 1 tbsp miso paste 3 tbsp ground peanuts or peanut … [Read more...]
