Kitchen Notes - Bits and Bobs
I have come back with various bits and bobs from Asda. Some Lemon grass to make cordial, some more shallots for pickling, (I also need to put some up in the freezer as during the winter months I always add a few shallots to the Sunday roast [and to Christmas dinner], gives a little more flavour with the onions caramelising these are added to the plate to eat and adds a bit more flavour to the meat juices for making gravy). All I do is peel them and then freeze them whole and then when I want to use them add them frozen and whole to the roasting dish and cook as you would for roast potatoes. They also help colour up the meat juices for the gravy. There are some Blueberries for Blueberry compote to serve with yogurt for breakfast in a morning or on top of a cheesecake or as part of a muesli based breakfast. I also need to freeze some for Blueberry muffins. Another favourite here. Some more chillies for drying and for chilli sauce. Peppers...
