Caramelised Fennel & Mushroom Pilaf
There was a time when healthy eating seemed to mean making food as bland as possible. This Caramelised Fennel & Mushroom Pilaf is one of the few recipes from an old healthy-eating cookbook that has stayed with me for years. The original was simple but forgettable; over time I adapted it by properly caramelising the vegetables, adding more lemon and black pepper, and simplifying the ingredients. The result is a wholesome, flavourful one-pot meal that I still cook today.
Söcce with Onion Flower Stalks (Allotment Herb & Cheese Fritters)
When our onions started sending up flower stalks, I needed a way to use the steady harvest of onion scapes from the allotment. Inspired by spring onion fritters from Özlem Warren’s Sebze and herb and cheese fritters from Musa Dağdeviren’s The Turkish Cookbook, I created this allotment-friendly version. Packed with herbs, feta and eggs, these golden fritters are a delicious way to turn an often-discarded ingredient into something worth making again and again.
