Made list of what needs using up - now need recipes please

Hi sunset gold,

You could use the eggs and ham to make a version of carbonara. If you don't have parmesan cheese any hard cheese will do instead.

The root ginger will freeze well and for the kiwi, apples, oranges, lemons and avocados try these threads for more ideas:

Kiwi Fruit

What To Do With Apples?

Using up oranges

Glut of lemons (16)

Could make a guacamole with the avocados? Dead easy and tasty and cut pitta into strips, toast in the oven till they're a bit crispy/harder, and use them to dip. Put some lemon juice in it to stop it going black!!

I'd normally use:
2 avocadoes
Smallish onion
Chilli powder, or paprika, or something similar - as spicy as you like
Couple of cloves of garlic (I'm a bit of a garlic fiend)
S&P
Lemon juice!!

Put it into a blender and whizz

Add a bit of oil or water if it's too thick (choose whichever depends on the consistency of what you ahve and how you want it to be, I find with water is better with crisps as then they don't break!)

Someone said to make a list of all the perishable foods in the house and to use them up first, so have done that and planned some meals for the week but need some recipes and suggestions for the following please? Have put them in the order that they need to be used first:

4 egg yolks (from yesterdays cake)
3/4 pack of ham
10 kiwi fruits
bag of apples
bag of oranges
2 advacados
a ginger root
3 lemons
pack of wholemeal pitta breads

All suggestions gratefully received. SG

You have some great ideas there
my thoughts are Lemon Curd (for the lemons & yolks) & making a pavlova using the kiwi fruit & oranges.
