Simple meal .......

take some veg, eg carrot, bell pepper, baby potatos, olives, onion, mushrooms

preheat oven to 220 degrees
take a baking tray, pour in some olive oil,
clean the veg,
cut the veg into 1/2 to 1" ish chunks,
put on baking tray
add more olive oil
add garlic, chillie, basil, rosemary, (ok, any herbs you like)

mix together,

bake 40 minutes, turning every 10 - 15.

near the end mix up some gravy - bisto instant gravy is ideal
serve - low calorie, very filling and .... good for you!


if you want some meat, near the end fry up some chicken with similar herbs, or, roast some chicken while the veg is cooking.

(guess what my tea tonight is going to be )

Fozzie - 26/5/07 at 03:37 PM

Cheers Mike! ....

Mediteranian Roasted Veg... yum!

Wine - well white is the obvious choice with it being veg based, i'd go for an italian pinot grigio - very easy to drink, not expensive, should add to the miriad of flavours in the roasted veg with all those herbs.

If you wanted to try something different, go with a chillian merlot. The fruitiness of the grape may be lost in the spices but it should wash down well and the chillian grapes are comparitively cheap.

(now who believes i actually know about wines?)

Take two pieces of white bread, place in toaster until brown, coat with butter and cover with cheese, add worcestshire sauce . Place in microwave for approx one minute until cheese is melted . Works for me..


MikeR - 26/5/07 at 11:49 PM

If you're doing the cheese on toast,

grate the cheese into a boul and add finely chopped onion, now put that on your toast and melt.

(also rosemary is excellent with cheese, had it in france with a croque monsuire & became hooked)

Defo agree about the worcester, also try brown and ketchup.

If you want to try a different cheese, Lancashire cheese is an excellent alternative to cheddar.

For a cold winter's day....

Empty can of Heinz Baked Beans into pan
Add generous sprinkling Schwarz crushed chillies
Heat until hot

Whats the next line??


richard thomas - 27/5/07 at 10:33 AM

Locost....

Take one slice of cheap low quality white bread (preferably borrowed), cover one side with cheap low quality tomato sauce (supermarket home brand is best or alternatively ask someone who is going to MacDonalds to fetch an extra sachet out - that way it's free!), fold over. Eat.
