Vloergroente

This is chunky veg baked in the oven. We call it Vloergroente, because the first time we made it, I let the oven dish fall to the floor. We had no alternatives and we were so looking forward to it, that we simply scooped it up, put it back in the oven and ate it. With gusto!! It was super delicious, and yes the floor was clean…

Ingredients:

Chunky Vegetables

Olive oil

Coarse salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Method:

Spread open the veggies and sprinkle with oil, salt and pepper. Bake in the oven at 160°C until the veggies is soft. Switch to grill until the veggies get a slight burn, if you prefer.

Serve with almost anything!!

Butter Veggies

Chunky mix vegetables is one of my favourite quick veggies to make for a meal.  But I normally grill it and I wanted to do something different. So I cooked it in butter. And it came out truly delicious - and quite sweet! Didn't need any salt, either. It's amazing how wonderful the natural flavours of fresh food are...

Ingredients

1kg chunky vegetable mix
4tbs butter
1/2 onion, chopped

Method

Melt the butter. Fry the onion. 

Add the veggies and fry until soft. 

And enjoy!!

Crumbed Mushrooms

Now I don't know about you, but I have been trying to make the perfect crumbed mushrooms since forever, and I have never succeeded. However, a lightning bolt of inspiration struck yesterday and I did it. I made the perfect crumbed mushrooms!! And it's so ridiculously easy...

Ingredients

1 punnet of whole mushrooms
2 eggs
breadcrumbs
cooking oil

Method

Wash the mushrooms.

 Beat the eggs well and pour over the mushrooms, Fold the mushrooms gently over, to cover all of them with the egg. 

Cover with crumbs. 

Heat the oil. I found that using an oil rack-thingy, really helped getting the mushrooms evenly fried.

Once the oil is ready, place the mushrooms in the rack-thingy in the pot and fry until golden brown. 

Remove from the oil and tip the rack-thingy onto some kitchen towels to drain off excess oil. 

Serve warm with Cheese & Bacon sauce, or an Onion-Pepper sauce!
