Cooking Tonight (continued)

[Mr Bones]

Risotto tonight, with mushrooms, celery, leeks and herbs.

[Chestnut]

Chickpea, aubergine and sweet potato curry
Also doing a bit of cooking ahead for the next week, pumpkin and ginger cake, hot fruit salad, pork casserole for freezer, and precooking lentils for tomorrow’s burgers. Audiobook on the go, kitchen lovely and warm with the oven on, and OH volunteered for washing up when the rugby gets to half time

[Small pumpkin]

Cheese,pesto & cherry tomatoes on toast

[Bren In Pots]

Tagliatelle, bol, garlic bread and a glass of red.

[Snoop Puss]

Lunch: up the valley. Should be interesting. Vegan tortilla made of pumpkin. Mr Snoop says it's entirely fair to call it a tortilla because it gives people an idea of what to expect. Me, I'm happy to cook and eat vegan food. But as a cook, I expect a tortilla to have eggs in it. Mr Snoop says I'm a stick in the mud. Probably right.

Supper: Briam. If it's just us, I'll add a bit of feta. If not, it can go vegan too.

[Bren In Pots]

Steak and mushroom pie, with kale, carrots and PSB.

Enjoy your Briam Snoop.

[greenishfing]

Smoked cod baked in milk for my husband, lamb steak and mint jelly for me, potato and leek gratin, carrots, PSB and braised celery. Gravy for me.

[Snadger]

Slow cooked Brisket with all the trimmings today.

[Starch]

Out for a cider in the Thirst Edition (micro pub) and a mixed biryani and a take your own bottle of red in the Bengal cuisine tonight, both highly recommended.

[Mr Bones]

Borlotti hummus and freshly made sourdough crackers for lunch, butternut, troots and leeks roasting at the moment then a seeded wholemeal loaf goes in. Probably have a mix of that lot later with bulgar, ellie garlic greens, sun dried toms, olives and feta.

[piskieinboots]

Roast lamb, roast spuds and onion sauce ... brought in from the garden - sprouts, cabbage - turnip for mashing. Gravy. Wine, of course.

I'm intrigued. What do they use instead of eggs?

Would this be the chickpea water?

A Tortilla to me is made of flour like a chapatti.

[Snoop Puss]

It was purchased in Lidl, so ready made. Turned out not to be pumpkin but potato. I had a look at the ingredients. This is the Google Translate translation:50% fried potato (potato, sunflower oil), water, 11% fried onion (onion, virgin olive oil, salt), 8% dried whole cooked chickpeas, olive oil, salt, vegetable fiber (pea, sugarcane, bamboo), acidulant: citric acid; stabilizer: xanthan gum.
There's a picture here:

It looks the part, as you can see, but doesn't taste just like the real thing, whatever the headline above with the picture suggests. We shared one between three (doled out by the host) and at the end of my third I felt a bit stodged out with all the potato. That said, I've eaten much worse supermarket tortillas with eggs than this.

It was an interesting experiment. It was good enough that I'd buy one for an emergency meal on the road, but not for eating at home.

We do quite like the Lidl veggie burgers (not the ones with green beans, which are an abomination).
