Posted on March 11, 2016February 8, 2019 by Catherine Allen

Could all vegetables be considered superfoods in their own right?

If you are into wine this was a great evening of sampling wines with @brideys_wine_chats . Very insightful. Took away lots of little nuggets 🤓🍷. Didnt know for example that a 2015 sauv blanc wouldn’t be as good as say a 2018 .. fresher is better. Maybe that’s common knowledge?! Me, a revelation! Also my first time to join an actual live vid. Great fun! #wine #winetasting #thirstythursdays #wineoclock #foodandwinepairing

Dinners in the sunshine ☀️. Last night we had a spiced roasted cauliflower (the best way to eat it or at least a close contender with cauliflower cheese ). Anyway not too much work here as I bought the falafels and just had to fry them . . Cous cous is my go to when I’ve no time (or when I’m not organised !) Cauliflower - roasted the florets at 200c until tender (about 20 mins or so). Florets werecoated in about 2 tsp each of ground cumin & coriander & about 1 tsp ground turmeric, olive oil and salt and pepper. Cous cous literally takes 5 mins covered in boiling water. I added finely diced preserved lemon (for the intense lemony taste) , some crunchy leaves, cherry tomatoes , a good drizzle of olive oil, knob of butter and salt and pepper. I was relying on the hummus as a form of dressing. Hummus- I didn’t follow a recipe but it consisted of the following - can of chickpeas, juice of half a small lemon, 2 cloves garlic, good pinch of cumin , good dollop of tahini, tablespoon or two of water and about a tablespoon of olive oil.. generous helping of salt and a twist of pepper. #elbowsoffthetable #falafels #hummus #couscous #summereating #onmyplate #irishfoodie #irishfoodblogger #mediterraneanfood #roastedcauliflower

Dreamy sambo with the last of the wild garlic pesto ... must get out for some more before it’s gone for another year. Now, can I go hide somewhere to eat this?! 😳 ps, @muelleroconnell_bakery sourdough and @corleggycheeses making this all the more epic #lunch #elbowsoffthetable #sambo #wildgarlicpesto #irishfoodie

Lunch today was aubergine lentil bake with a side of @mcnallyfamilyfarm mustard greens and flowers (which I didn’t know were a thing!) from sprouting broccoli. Yummy. Side note - If you making the aubergine dish make sure to slice the aubs quite thinly (1cm ish) and pan grill until cooked. (The recipe is in my stories) #elbowsoffthetable #lunch #sproutingbroccoli #edibleflowers #onmyplate #fromscratch #irishfoodie

💓Rhubarb muffins Recipe 💓Got the recipe from @olivemagazine (although had to improvise a teeny bit) and had a lot of help from the little man so pretty much did nothing here except sample the goods😜. @mcnallyfamilyfarm delicious rhubarb made these all the more gorgeous. . The below makes 12; . 300g chopped rhubarb with 3 tbspn golden caster sugar . . 300g plain flour . . 100g golden caster sugar * . 1tsp baking powder . 1tsp cinnamon . . 2 eggs . 100g melted butter (&cooled) . 200ml milk . Preheat oven to 200c First bake the rhubarb for about 10 mins until tender. (Ensure the rhubarb is chopped to a small size for muffins, about 1cm). . Allow to cool and if there is any liquid drain it & keep as a syrup. (I had no excess liquid but if there is..) . Meanwhile mix your dry ingredients in a large bowl. Then mix your wet ingredients in another bowl, ensuring butter is cool beforehand . When ready to bake add the wet ingredients to the dry , mix and scoop into your lines muffin tin. . Sprinkle with Demerara sugar for that all important crunchy top 😊 . Place in the oven for 25-30 mins. (I took mine out after 27). . Allow to cool in tin. Enjoy! . *Just to note the recipe calls for golden caster sugar but I didn’t have any and used regular caster sugar instead. Turned out perfectly! 🙌 . #rhubarbmuffins #seasonaleating #rhubarb #elbowsoffthetable #rhubarbrecipe #muffinrecipe #inmykitchen #irishfood #irishfoodbloggers #covidcooking #bakingwithkids #easybaking #muffinstagram
