Hi everybody!
Sorry for the lack of posts in a little while, there has been a whole lot going on. I've been ill and had my 30th birthday, should be back to normal service shortly. I have some great recipes to blog and some awesome news to update, but for now its late so here is a quick veggie recipe before I hit the hay.
Serves 4:
1.5lb fresh tomatoes
4 tbsp sunflower/vegetable oil
1 Large onion, finely sliced
1 garlic clove - crushed
2 tsp cumin seeds
2 fresh green chillis
2 tbsp tomato puree
1 tsp vegetable bouillon (or a vegetable stock cube)
200g sweetcorn, canned is fine if you drain it well
1 tbsp chopped coriander
150g grated cheddar cheese
8 wheat tortillas
Peel the tomatoes. For those who don't know, its easiest to score a small cross in the bottom then pop them in boiling water for about 30 seconds. Refresh in cold water, and the skins will peel right off. Chop the flesh.
Heat half the oil in a pan, fry the onion with the garlic and cumin for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the chillis, tomatoes and stirr in the tomato puree. Sprinkle in the bouillon and fry gently for about 5 minutes until the chilli is soft and the tomatoes have not yet broken all the way down. Stir in the corn and coriander.
Sprinkle grated cheese into the middle of a tortilla, then spoon in the mixture. Don't put in too much or it will run out of the sides - you need to fold all 4 edges in so the filling is well encased. Make as many as you want, then fry them for about 2 minutes a side until golden and crisp, it doesn't take long. Serve with more coriander, some lettuce and a sour cream dip for a really great snack, or with some refried beans and crushed potatoes for a tasty main meal. Simple but really tasty - a bit like me I suppose!
I'll post some more recipes tomorrow and get you all updated on what's been happening, but for now - goodnight and good food!
Tony
