Last night's Winter Ratatuoille was amazing. It delivered on all fronts. Great colour, textures and flavour. I couldn't believe how a few humble veggies could make such a wonderful meal.
What we couldn't finish was taken to work this morning by a chuffed Mr Horsehound.
I urge you all to try it. And don't forget you can play around with vegetables ( I often do) for example try substituting swede for the sweet potato and turnip for the carrot, an aubergine (eggplant for my American readers) would be lovely too, the choice is yours.
If you can't get hold of fresh rosemary use dried but be mean with it because it can be an overbearing little herb.
Today, after a couple of slices of toast, I set about doing some baking.
Nothing is actually baked yet, but there is a bowl of pizza dough rising slowly by the radiator and in another bowl some frothy looking batter which will, when frothed enough, make 20 or so crumpets.
Although I'm not a great fan of crumpets, shop bought ones at least, I know two gentlemen who are. I will though indulge in a hot buttered one come teatime when I'm joined by Mr Hairy Suit. Mr Horsehound will have to wait for his until breakfast time.
If the crumpets come up nicely I'll post a pic. If they burn or are holeless I'll chuck them.
