Happy Weekend! 🥳 Looking for a quick and easy lunch or dinner? Then check out this Potato and Chorizo Omelette 😋
You can easily make a smaller version by halving the ingredients, but it's actually quite nice served cold! Well, at room temperature, not ice cold.
Whatever you're doing have a lovely weekend 😃

Happy Saturday! 🥳 Has anyone else here got a Ninja Creami Deluxe? 🍨 Oh my, it's brilliant! Homemade Strawberry ice cream made with fresh strawberries was a major success 😋

Yes, it melted quite quickly as the weather here was hot for a change! ☀️ I used the recipe from the book that comes with it.

I've been experimenting and so far I've made:
Mint chocolate chip
Vanilla
Chocolate
Frozen strawberry yogurt
Frozen bananas - comes out just like banana ice cream 😋
Frozen tinned pineapple in juice - so easy and just like ice cream
Strawberry milkshake with fresh strawberries

So many choices, in my freezer I have a tub of frozen coffee latte.

Harissa Roasted Vegetables with Feta 😋
No blog post as I wasn't planning to do one with this so I didn't write anything down.

To be honest you don't need a recipe. I made it up as I went along so here's kinda what I did: 😀

Aubergine (eggplant) cut into 2cm (1-inch) cubes
Courgettes (zucchini) sliced into 1cm (½-inch) pieces
Red onion - peeled and quartered
Red bell pepper - deseeded and sliced into 1-inch slices
3 tablespoons of Rose harissa paste - mixed with 2 tablespoons of water
a few Cherry (grape) tomatoes
1 400g can chickpeas - rinsed and drained well
Salt and black pepper to season
Balsamic vinegar - drizzle, mix and taste
Feta cheese - crumbled

Preheat your oven to 200°C /400°F

Put the aubergine and courgette into a colander and sprinkle well with sea salt. Leave for 45 minutes to remove the water. Pat dry on some kitchen paper towel.

Add a little oil to a roasting dish, add a little more salt and black pepper. Mix in the water and harissa and mix everything to coat with the oil and harissa. Roast on the middle shelf for 10-15 minutes.

Throw in the onion and cook for a further 10 minutes.

Add the bell pepper and tomatoes and cook for a further 15 minutes.

Then tip in the drained chickpeas and return to the oven for 10 minutes or so.

Have a taste, adjust the seasoning and when you're happy with it crumble over the feta and serve crusty bread rolls.

PS: the food blogger's obligatory chopped parsley was a last-minute thing in case I do end up publishing a post one day.😂

Happy Tuesday Everyone! 😀 Baked Feta with Honey is delicious 😋 Ready to serve in under 25 minutes. Serve with fresh crusty bread for dipping and mopping.
