A hearty dinner

by Oregano ^Pro @ 2008-10-31 – 09:05:22

Yesterday I was enjoying my first day without work. For a change I had time to cook on a weekday.

I have bought parsnips a few weeks ago but they were very thin. I assume they were from an early crops. Last Saturday I saw some marvellous thick parsnips - which were not imports - and lovely big echallion shallots. I thought it was time for a parsnip pan haggerty.

With the colder weather this week I thought it would be good to combine the haggerty with a spicy lamb stew and red cabbage. Then as a little reminder of spring I served it with a little wild garlic jelly.

hello again,

It does look very appetising on a cold day.

I didn't realise you were stopping work so quickly. I was in a competitive redundancy situation (with me ending up hoping I was on the way out). So redundancy didn't really come as a surprise. Even after I knew that I was going, I still had about 10 days of going to the office. I even went to the Christmas Party (partly because they were good parties and partly to network in case there were any freelance opportunities.

Anyway, all the best.

  Thanks for your best wishes. I thought I would lose my job a year ago, but thought I had missed it this time round. It was a shock for the first 15 minutes, but I feel very relaxed now.

  Is garlic chutney like garlic pickle? I love the latter but realise that I only have a superficial knowledge of Indian chutneys.

    Chutney is different n pickle is different.
    
    Here is a chutney recipe
    
    A traditional Maharashtrian recipe. Dry coconut imparts a nutty and oily taste to the chutney.
    
    Makes 1/2 cup.
    
    Ingredients
    
    1/3 cup garlic cloves, peeled
    1/4 cup dried coconut (kopra), grated
    2 tablespoons chilli powder
    1 teaspoon oil
    salt to taste
    
    Method
    
    1. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the garlic and coconut for 2 to 3 minutes over a medium flame.
    
    2. Cool, combine all the ingredients in a blender and grind till it is a smooth paste.
    
    3. Use as required.

Snap. You've got time to cook and I've got time to write blog posts and read other people's blogs. Isn't it nice having a break from work!
