Salami and Mozzarella Open Ciabatta

January 16, 2019 By All That I'm Eating 13 Comments

Sometimes there’s nothing better than a sandwich. It could be a properly crusty, thickly sliced loaf filled with simple cheese and chutney, a bagel filled with pastrami, gherkins and mustard or some thin rye bread topped with smoked fish and herbs. I don’t think I could ever tire of something that you can just grab and eat with your hands. My salami and mozzarella open ciabatta is just the thing for a simple, no fuss, full of flavour dinner. Don’t tell anyone but I could have eaten all four pieces to myself. read more

Mince Pie Fruit Loaf

December 13, 2017 By All That I'm Eating 18 Comments

I love a mince pie, but they have to be just right. I want the pastry to mince filling ratio to be almost 50:50; too much filling and you can forget it. Preferably my mince pies will be warm and covered in (clotted, ideally) cream. However, I can’t possibly eat that every single day and I still need my mince pie fix. This is how my Mince Pie Fruit Loaf came about; designed to have all the fruity spiciness from a mince pie but without the pastry and cream. Don’t worry, there’s still plenty of butter for spreading! read more

Three Easy Soup Toppings with New Covent Garden Soup

February 7, 2017 By All That I'm Eating 20 Comments

I like to look forward to my lunches; whether I’m using up some leftovers to make a quick salad, sticking all sorts of ingredients in a sandwich or slurping on soup. Sometimes it can be very tempting to just grab the quickest thing in the kitchen but if I do that I am invariably disappointed at lunch time. So say hello to my three easy soup toppings which can all be made in less than five minutes, using ingredients you probably already have and can be made in advance to enjoy at work.

New Covent Garden Soups are currently encouraging everyone to revive their lunch life, something I was really keen to get involved with as I think lunch can make or break a day. Below are my three easy soup toppings and the soups that I chose to serve them with. You can get creative and add any of the toppings to any of the soups and have a go at putting your own twist on them too. read more

Kanelbullar (Swedish Cinnamon Buns)

February 3, 2017 By All That I'm Eating 20 Comments

Kanelbullar, Swedish Cinnamon Buns

While in Gothenburg last year I think I had a Kanelbullar every day. When it’s cold and windy outside sinking your teeth into one of these alongside a hot cup of coffee is just perfect. Slightly sticky, full of cinnamon and normally covered with nibbed sugar you can smell them before you see them in the cafés of Sweden. After trying a few different recipes I have come up with my own Kanelbullar recipe; the ideal balance of bread, wholesomeness and sweetness.

Ingredients

You will need (for 12 Kanelbullar):

  • 40g butter
  • 225ml milk
  • 7g sachet fast action yeast
  • 30g caster sugar
  • Pinch salt
  • 250g wholemeal flour
  • 250g strong white bread flour

For the filling read more

Lamb, Lentils and Flatbreads

May 31, 2016 By All That I'm Eating 14 Comments

When it’s a weekday and you come back from work to cook dinner, I’m assuming it’s not just me, you actually just want to relax. The cooking should be straightforward, ideally with minimal washing up and the food should be tasty, filling and balanced. I’ve been adding more and more recipes to my weeknight repertoire that are just that; minimum fuss, maximum flavour and ideally ready in under 30 minutes. This recipe for lamb, lentils and flatbreads was another midweek success and is also part of an upcoming post about eating organic on a budget. read more

Spicy Tomato Fusilli with Garlic Pangrattato

October 25, 2015 By All That I'm Eating 9 Comments

Spicy Tomato Fusilli and Garlic Pangrattato

The next pasta recipe up my sleeves is a super quick one; ideal for a midweek meal you need in a hurry but still want it to be tasty too. My Spicy Tomato Fusilli with Garlic Pangrattato takes less than thirty minutes from fridge to plate, is super cheap and great at using up odds and ends you may already have in the fridge and cupboards. 

You will need (for two):

  • 175g pasta (I used fusilli)
  • 1 can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 chilli, diced (I used a jalapeño but use whatever you have)
  • Oil for cooking
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 slice stale white bread
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large garlic cloves, crushed

Heat a little oil in a saucepan on a medium heat and add the onion. Fry for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

While the onion cooks blend the bread in a food processor until you have breadcrumbs. read more

Wild Garlic Bread

April 25, 2015 By All That I'm Eating 12 Comments

If you fancy going out and trying your hand at foraging there isn’t much of a better time to start than now. Wild garlic is one of the best things to look for as it’s so distinctive; you smell it before you see it, the leaf is fairly specific and if you’re still not sure you can tear the leaves and do an additional sniff test before you start taking it home. I fancied my hand at baking some Wild Garlic Bread, sort of tear and share style, so off I sauntered to my favourite wild garlic spot to get picking. read more

Beetroot Tzatziki, Beef Koftas and Quick Flatbreads

October 3, 2014 By All That I'm Eating 9 Comments

Beetroot Tzatziki with Quick Flatbreads and Beef Koftas - All That I'm Eating (2 of 2)

Beetroot can be a bit of a pain in my house, other than putting it in a salad or putting it on the side with something I am sometimes at a loss for what to do with it. When I get a bunch I find the easiest thing to do is to cook it all at the same time then peel it and keep it in the fridge for when I need it. Using the beetroot for a beetroot tzatziki was a great discovery and was so good with the beef koftas and super quick homemade flatbreads.

Ingredients

You will need (for two):

For the koftas:

  • 200g beef mince
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper

For the beetroot tzatziki: read more

Broad Bean and Feta Smash with Cucumber, Lettuce and Dill Salad

August 12, 2014 By All That I'm Eating 4 Comments

Broad Bean and Feta Smash with Cucumber Dill Salad
It’s all about green beans and peas at the moment and a veg box delivery last week left me with beans coming out of my ears! I wanted to put them on toast to make them go as far as possible so I tried out a broad bean and feta smash. I like the slightly odd bitterness from broad beans and it goes so well with salty feta cheese. The cucumber and dill salad on the side adds real sweetness and freshness to the meal. It’s super quick to make too so you won’t be stuck in the kitchen when you want to be outside; perfect for summer.

Ingredients

You will need (for two):

  • Large handful broad beans, podded
  • 100g feta, cubed
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small garlic clove, crushed
  • Salt and pepper
  • Small handful mint leaves, finely chopped

  • 1 ciabatta
  • 1 small cucumber, sliced
  • 1 lettuce, shredded
  • Small handful dill, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • Salt and pepper

Method

Start by adding the broad beans to a pan of lightly salted boiling water and cooking them for 3-4 minutes. Drain the beans and rinse under cold water before peeling off the grey skins on the outside.

Put the broad beans into a bowl with the feta, a drizzle of olive oil, the garlic, salt, pepper and mint. Mash it all together so it is slightly combined but still chunky. Put to one side.

Bake the ciabatta according to packet instructions then cut into slices.

Put the cucumber and lettuce into a serving bowl. read more

Swedish Style Burgers

July 25, 2014 By All That I'm Eating 13 Comments

Swedish Style Burgers
You would have thought that a burger lends itself well to good photo-ability. For some reason when it comes to taking a picture of a burger it never looks quite how I imagine it will. No matter what I try the burgers always shrink leaving even the smallest buns looking far too big. There is either too much or not enough salad so although I make them sort of regularly I rarely blog about them or take a picture. However, when the below recipe came through for Swedish burgers with Västerbottensost cheese I couldn’t resist. 

Recipe from Västerbottensost cheese as part of their ‘Swedish summer to remember’.

Ingredients

You will need (for two):

  • 350g minced venison (or beef)
  • 1 rasher fried bacon, chopped
  • 1 tsp crushed juniper berries
  • Salt and pepper
  • Västerbottensost cheese, grated
  • Buns of your choice and salad and condiments to serve

Method

Put the venison mince into a bowl and add the chopped bacon, juniper berries and salt and pepper.

Give everything a really good mix then form into four burger shapes (I made quite small ones).

Heat a pan to high and add a little oil to the pan. Fry the burgers until lovely and brown on the outside and cooked through. For the last few minutes of cooking add the grated Västerbottensost and allow to melt. read more
