Mixing it up a bit

Some people would call it bubble and squeak. Others, a hash. Yet others a melange. Somehow, those labels don't work for me. Mainly the first two because they have negative connotations. For me, anyway.

Last night's supper of gardenloot (swisschard) combined with onion marmalade made a base for a layer of mushrooms, baby potatoes and smoked, sundried tomatoes.

Let me digress: those smoked, sundried tomatoes are literally to die for. I bought them at a local one-off market and from a chef turned farmer. I will have to get more.

These were followed by a sprinkling of crumbled feta and four beaten eggs. Finally, fried brinjal rings. Baked in the oven.

The flavour combination? Fan-bloody-tastic!

The smokiness in the sundried tomatoes took this to a whole new level. This was a good end to a long, but equally interesting, good day, and which is why I am awake at 3am. Oh, and because the sourdough, proving for the market's rolls, blew its head off and really woke me up.

It's done it twice in the last hour. Twice I have had to go down stairs, retrieve and replace the head. Now, it's just resting on the top. Air can escape, but the sourdough shouldn't blow its stack...

Anyhow, it's a long kitchen day ahead later... Look for the Friday files on Saturday if you want to know what is on the agenda...

Until next time, be well

• re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I plan to add them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
• and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
