Lots of things to cook for summer menus - mind you the present weather has me making casseroles / suet dishes - lol
Ham/gammon piece to use cold as salad meat / in sandwiches / chopped in pasta / stirfries
Also game meats - ie - duck / pigeon breasts
Vichysoisse soup / Gaspacho Andaluz (tomato soup) to serve chilled
Fish soup / Caldillo de Pescado - somehow light enough for summer lunches
Salmon gently simmered and allowed to cool in its liquid
Stuffed peppers / tomatoes / marrow (courgettes) / onions
Fruit compote /tipsy apricots creme caramel - served chilled
Pates / terrines - various meats and/or vegetables
Fruit soups - pears & guavas / apple & raspberries
Lightly cooked berries - gooseberries / red.black currents etc - served chilled with pastry and cream0 -
Stuffed peppers
6 peppers, 700 gms sausage, 1/2 cauli, 200 ml passata, handful of crumbed feta, 1 diced onion, pinch parsley, black olives, garlic clove crushed, pinch salt, pepper and mixed herbs.
Cut the tops off the pepper and empty the seeds etc, skin and brown the sausage meat.
Grate the raw cauli, I do this in a food processor, mix with the rest of the items except the cheese.
Stuff the peppers and put in the slow cooker with 1cm of stock. Add cheese to the top.
I really cannot tell you how nice this is.
I'll post the other recipe in the morning if time, if not after work.Life is short, smile while you still have teeth0 -
pinkprincess how long do you cook the peppers for?
I always struggle with SC recipes in summer, the best I do is pilaf or cooking beans to add to cold salads.Living cheap in central London :rotfl:0 -
Avocado alioli please - actually they all sound lovelyA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

I always struggle with SC recipes in summer, the best I do is pilaf or cooking beans to add to cold salads.4 hours on low I do them for but as the size of peppers vary you may like to leave them an hour longer if bigger.
