Clearly you can buy Tatty Salad for next to nothing in a pot. But we’re not like that! During “Lock-Down” we’re spending more and more time in the kitchen, it occupies our time and we’re not couching in front of the TV all day.
Ingredients:-
Potatoes pealed quartered, boiled and drained
Mayo
Pickled Gherkins, finely chopped
Spring Onion
Squeeze of Lemon
Black Pepper
Fresh home grown Chives to dress
Method:-
(1) Let you Potatoes cool to room temperature.
(2) Mix all the dressing ingredients.
(3) Dress the Potatoes.
(4) Sprinkle with chopped Chives.
(5) Enjoy as a side.
The Gherkins and Lemon juice really lift a plain old Tatty salad to a different level and made it well worth tinkering with.
Even if I wanted to I couldn't give a recipe for this! Well I'll have a go...
Ingredients:-
Cauliflower Cheese (Rescued from a box in the freezer)
Chicken and Mushroom Pie filling – possibly?! (Rescued from a box in the freezer)
Method:-
(1) Defrost.
(2) Demolish in the blender.
(3) Heat in a pan.
Served with a bit of greenery from the balcony box this was actually a very hearty lunch. We may have to postpone our experimental cooking until later this evening!
