Had a bit of a kitchen day today.......last night I put another batch of my Vegetable Stock in the slow cooker and then sorted it out into portions this morning....then hubby and I walked down to our local farmers market and I bought a lovely big Celeriac......I decided that as the Slow Cooker Butternut Squash mash worked out so well (its here ) I would try the same method for Celeriac....I want to use it to make some Celeriac and Sweetcorn Fritters (I've made them before and they are great but the mixture always comes out a bit wet)....so I've got my Celeriac in the slow cooker as I type this. Slightly different method than for the squash (the celeriac is a very knobbly, mucky creature and it gets mud and rubbish caught up in th knobbles so it can't go into the slow cooker without some preparation). So I cut off all the dirty and inedible bits. The first time I did the butternut squash in the slow cooker I put it straight into the pot (as instructed) butI was a bit disturbed with the markings on the bottom (they came off but I want to protect my pot) I put a layer of foil in the bottom, it worked a treat and made it easier to get the squash out....so I did that again this time.....I've left it on low until tomorrow morning and I'll update you later how it turns out.....I'll do the fritter recipe too.
So dinner tonight.......hubby wanted pizza.....and I didn't have any cauli left to do a Cauliflower Crust Pizza Base (I'll post that later this week....I think you'll like it).....So I did a bit of using up from the fridge.....I had some broccoli so I took the stalk out and made my Smoked Mackerel Broccolisotto . I usually do croutons with this but tonight I fancied something a bit different, I had some mixed baby tomatoes in the fridge so I chopped a few and scattered them around.....the texture was lovely....
......and I really fancied something to finish, I'm not big on desserts (I know....call me weird!!)....so when I fancy something to finish my meal its usually fruit....so this is blueberries, grapes and strawberries topped with two tablespoons of quark mixed with some cranberry sauce that I made in the slow cooker last week, finished with a mini meringue and a teaspoon of Choc Shot ....mmmmmm yummy
Sp breakdown is....Broccolisotto 6sp, fruit 0sp, 80g quark 1sp and cranberry sauce 0sp , choc shot 1sp
Lets stay strong guys
