Parsnip Cake

Parsnip cake (tastes of oranges) As referred to in my weekly post, a mid-way carrot cake had to change course as I went to the cupboard only not to find a carrot. The cake is based on a couple of recipes, I didn't want it too moist as the cooking times go haywire. My wife tried a Jamie Oliver recipe once that said something like 40 minutes - 2 hours later it was cooked. This cake ended up moist and tasty, but could probably have looked better in a 1 lb loaf tin not a 2 lb. It got the thumbs up from all other cake eaters in the house. Ingredients 2 oz butter 2 oz sunflower oil 3 oz sugar or substitute (I used xylitol) 2 eggs 4 oz self-raising flour 2 oz sultanas 1 orange, zest and juice 1 oz chopped nuts (I used almonds) 4 oz grated parsnip (you need about 6 oz parsnip to yield this) 3 oz icing sugar for glacé icing Method Cream the butter and sugar, add the oil and continue to beat. Add the eggs and combine. Add the sultanas, orange zest, chopped nuts, p...

A wonderful ice-cream flavour...

-
There are many many tasty ice cream flavours but a few years ago I found an absolutely amazing fruit flavour.

Lamb and Tomato Curry

-
The first of two curry recipes invented yesterday, trying to combine my favourite parts of take-away curries into something reasonably healthy and stronger flavoured. Authenticity and originality not guaranteed. #1 : Lamb and Tomato This one combines rogan josh (lamb, tomato, cardamon, garlic) with dhansak (cumin, lentils). This is not a hot curry, and the initially flavour is sweet from the meat, onions and tomato - but it has a pleasant kick. I made this from left-over roast lamb, but in the past I have made a similar curry with lamb precooked in water with garlic cloves - boil for ~15 minutes. Ingredients 500 g Cooked Lamb 1 Onion 4 or 5 Tomatoes 1 or 2 handfuls of Red Lentils 1 tsp Coriander seeds 1 tsp Cumin seeds 1 tbsp Garam Masala 1 tsp ground Ginger ½ - 1 tsp ground Cayenne Pepper (depending on how hot you want it) 4 Cardamon Pods (crushed a little) Method Slice the onion and fry in plenty of oil (rapeseed works well) for ~20 minutes on a low heat. The aim is to remove moistur...
