Gingham's vegetarian menu planner SPRING

The sausage casserole recipe is on my other menu planner post no 27.

I think a couple of people said they didn't like having tomato in it and using veggie stock and some gravy granules should be fine. I just bung it all in the slow cooker these days. Turns out fine. And it is nice with dumplings. I think I linked to a recipe for dumplings on that thread too.

I made Delia's roast tomato soup last year for my OH for a Valentine's meal starter, as tomato soup was originally translated as love apple soup. It is really yummy, but quite fiddly to make.

I didn't know that. Very romantic! It really is delicious. Delia doesn't mess about does she! She knows her stuff. I will certainly be making it again. I still had half last week's tomatoes though so next time I'd need to buy a few extra I think. I may make a huge batch to freeze down.

Made the creamy broccoli pasta last night - well actually it turned out to be creamy cauli pasta (as I had a cauli to use up) and I added the salmon. DH and DS thought it was really yummy so thanks for the idea.

Tonight I am going to make the galette (finally). I have both gammon and salmon, and can't decide which I should use in it. Any suggestions on whether you think salmon would work and what would be the best flavour? I thought if I used the gammon, then I could serve it with baked beans as I presume the flavours might enhance each other. Any advice would be appreciated from the galette experts.

I'm getting really fed up with salmon - I was at a food festival on Sunday and towards the end they were selling off packs of Spinks salmon at £1 per pack and I bought 5 of them - couldn't resist the bargain.

Hi there - can I ask a quick question on the bean burgers ?

I am planning to make them tonight but I only have 1 tin of kidney beans in - would a tin of broad beans do as the second tin needed ? I want to try to avoid Tesco's if possible

Gingham_Ribbon

Yes, I think that would be fine (although I don't think I've ever cooked with broad beans.) Troll's original recipe only had one tin in. I'll try to find a link

Hi Gingham!!

Just wanted to ask...I made the Cabbage Gallette the other day, whilst it was nice, mine was abit dry - should I have made the mixture abit sloppier to cover the cabbage or added something else - or is that how it is supposed to be? and you have some gravy with it?

Hi

Thanks for a great thread

The slow-cooker curry recipe looks so nice, I really want to try it, but don't have a slow-cooker. Any suggestions for doing it in the absence of a slow-cooker?

Thanks

The gallete is a bit like a dumpling with a crust on - neither dry nor moist particularly. Maybe you need to cook it for a slightly shorter time or add a touch more milk. The mixture is certainly not dough when I make it - more like thick batter.

The slow cooker curry is fine in a pan. For quickness, steam or boil the veg to go in it while sweating an onion, then add everything together and let the sauce reduce a little.
