Hello and welcome to Stu and Jeni's Culinary Corner.
We will start the ball rolling, but this is a space for everyone to share their ideas and recipes.
We were going to reveal the recipe of our poo truffles, but that is too secret. Instead we will bring a sample to coffee hour one day.
We follow the religion of Gillian (McKeith). She is our hero. But we love our chip butties too.
Okay. First is Jeni's Vegematronic Chilli.
This is great to make a load of, and freeze for a later date. No need for ready meals!
Ingredients (they change regularly, just go with the flow).
An assortment of vege, such as aubergine, courgette, brocolli, carrots, squash, red onions, sweet potato, peppers, cauli, leeks, mushrooms, etc
a few cloves of garlic. You can put as many as you like in.
a teaspoon of cumin seeds
a couple of sprinkles of chilli powder (mild or hot... depends on your bravery).
a teaspoon of ground coriander.
2 tins of peeled plum tomatoes
2 tins of beans. Whichever you prefer. Good old kidney or haricot or even for those chickpea lovers, throw a tin of those in.
a sprinkle of good cocoa powder.
Okay, first chop up your vege into chunky chunks. Anything that needs boiling, such as brocolli, then boil. Everything else should be thrown onto large roasting trays and sprinkled with olive oil and salt and pepper.
The garlic cloves should also be thrown in (with the skins still on).
Roast for 20minutes or so.
In a dry pan, heat up the cumin, chilli powder and coriander until they smell nice. Add the now cooked vege (and the garlic, which needs the skin removed now. But the garlic usually just needs a slight squeeze for it to come out. It will be all lovely and roasty. Yum.).
Rinse the tinned beans, then add.
Chop the tomatoes in the tin a little bit, then also add.
Stir and simmer for a while.
Taste.
Add more chilli powder if you like. Or salt and pepper.
Then add some cocoa powder.
Simmer for another 10minutes or so.
Serve with rice or nachos. And lots of cheese if you want.
Secondly we have the Ultimate Pastabake. A mouthwatering combination of cheese sauce, tomato stuff and vegetables.
You will need
*Pasta *Bread *Pasta bake sauce/pasata/tinned chopped tomatoes *Filling of your choice-i use one tin of mixed bean salad, one pepper, courgette and so on.
For the cheese sauce *Flour *Cheese *Milk
How to make the fittest thing since Vege Chille:
* Boil the pasta *Chop/prepare whatever you want to add and cook accordingly * Mix pasta and other fillings in with the pasta bake sauce and place in oven dish *Get a few slices of bread and break them into small pieces (using scissors on 2 slices at once makes it quicker) * Make a layer of bread on the pasta bake *Put into the over at gas mark 5/6 and let the bread toast
*Cheese sauce- grate cheese (lots of cheese=good) *put 2 table spoons of plain flour into a pan and add a little milk *Mix until it forms a paste. *place on a low heat hob and add milk gradually to form the sauce. *when the sauce is how you like it add the cheese *put the cheese sauce on the pasta bake and leave in the oven for 10 mins or so.
1 1/2 cups pumpkin (cooked) Cook between 2 plates over a pan of boiling water 15-20 mins puree 1 cup heavy cream (Full Cream) 3/4 cup dark brown sugar 2 eggs beaten 1/2 cup maple syrup 2tsp pumpkin pie splce looking in another eceipt book is a mix of giner cinnamon and nutmeg 1 cup broken walnuts 2 tblsp maple syrup 9 inch unbaked pieshell
Pre heat oven 425F 220C
Blend pumpkin cream sugar egs an 1/2 cup maple syrup and spice in mix bowl. Pour into pastry shell. Sprinkle on walnuts Bake 40 mins Remove from oven brush with 2 tblsp maple syrup return for 5 mins or until set. Let cool at least 2 hours before cutting
Tomato Ketchup 2 tablespoons of Tomato Puree A sprinkling of garlic granules as many random herbs as you can find in your cupboard (failing that raid morrisons) loads and loads of ground black pepper
Throw it all in a bowl n stir it up until it looks like its all mixed 2gether, chuck it in2 same pan as pasta n stir it in on full heat. Then to save the planet n environment and washing up, grab a fork, sit back and eat direct from pan.... its actually really nice & works for me.
p.s. make sure the pasta has been boiled in slightly salted water it adds flavour

Get the frying pan heated up nicely whilst cutting a hole in the middle of a piece of bread. Make it about the size of... A fist or something (I recommend buttering the little bit of bread that has been cut out and eating it whilst you cook).
Put a fair amount of oil it the pan and chuck a piece of bread in it. After about 30 seconds flip it over and immediately put an egg in the hole. This will start to fry nicely... Mind you don't have the pan too hot though because then it won't cook the egg through before the crutial flip. Once the egg is almost cooked right through, make a speedy flip. Sometimes it goes a bit crazy at this point and you get a bit of egg white splatter... That's not a problem though, as long as the yolk is still intact.
Leave this for about 30 seconds and then whip the bad boy out and enjoy. I personally like a bit of tomato sauce and a glass of fresh orange juice to drink.
1 small agricultual dwelling 4 tones of butter 40,000 slices of toast 1 gallon of redcurrent jelly and a cement mixer
Take the agricultural dwelling and break into managable parts, slowly feed the bits into the cement mixer, adding the butter slowly. Once you have a thick creamy substance the consistancey of wet cement, pour onto your toast and serve with the red current jelly.
