That made I laff

Fry thin strips of the meat in extra virgin olive oil with sweet chillies and a sweet potato chutney. Yum!

Yes, get my chipotles off eBay too. Bought a whole pile of other chiles once and made mole sauce, I think there's still some in the back of the freezer!

I'll have to try them....they sound delish!

Just butter and a nice crumbly chalky cheese such as Wensleydale?When I make dough for pizza I just add onion seed - it's excellent!

I add chopped almonds. Top off with palm sugar scrapings for the final 5/10 minutes to get nice caramelly bits on the top sometimes.@clueless1 - we like our apple bit quite tart, so I add a splash of cider vinegar and use palm sugar for a softer sweetness.

Umm umm Longk that sounds delicious... Gonna have to try that.... Thank you.!Why not try it with Quorn chunks Zigs I reckon it would be amazing..

All sounds brilliant, I think I'll make it and just chuck some butter in. Ta.

At least it wasn't leeks this time

Yep, happened when I made my own cough mixture from Liquorice root, only just made it to the bog

If you have any large beetroot, then beetroot steaks are the thing. After boiling beetroot cut into thick steaks,coat in egg wash and roll in breadcrumbs.

Your right Clueless, sauce does not have to be cooked, as long as the purred is thick enough and if needed sive the seeds though a strainer. Well, learn something new, salsa is sauce in spanish. Good to know. Well except the green salsa, you have to cook it, I make it often, from those...

So it was elderberry and crab apple jelly you made?Last year we made crab apple/sloe and crab apple/rosehip. and both were lovely.

You could try annatto for a Red-Leicester orange, plus turmeric in small quantities for a bright yellow. Not sure if the taste would be too strong or not. I find most people don't eat the icing in any case.

Careful, or it'll go to your head (or perhaps worse)

Good idea. Can't be any worse than courgette cake (last resort of the desperate). That was a bit damp and soggy when I tried it and it only uses a little bit of courgette up anyway. My toms are still gamely ripening but I'm sure I'll end up with a pile of green ones so this recipe could be handy.

My son and his fiancé are keen on making chutney, and have asked for recipes. I usually make green tomato from my Mother's old recipe, and wondered whether anyone has any favourites they could share for me to pass on to him,for some variety? Thanks in advance!

I have a recipe for Aji limo (Lemon Drop) salsa which I would share, except it appears to have disappeared from the internet. Ive probably got a printed out copy at home & will have enough of the lemon drops to make a batch at the end of the week with a bit of luck (and sun) so I will post up my...

My taste buds are working overtime HusH - that looks fabulous!
