Mixed coleslaw
Try chopping some paprika or peppers and sweetcorn into your coleslaw
It’s not flashy, but it didn’t turn out half bad
The Future
Pears
Mixed Salad with Cheese, Olive, Paprika and Basil
Lettuce, chives, tomato, grapes, green olives and basil
Shred the lettuce and the basil leaves and chop the chives and paprika
Mix together with the tomatoes, grapes and green olives
Cube some good quality cheese and add
Top with a dressing of your choice and sprinkle the basil flowers over
Dish up. I had ice tea, but then I always have ice tea.
Steak, eggplant and walnut salad
Soft lettuce and chives
Aubergine and walnuts
Radishes
Steak or another pan fry cut
Olive oil
Ketjap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce) or balsem vinegar
Mixed herbs, rosemary, thyme and parsley will do
Garlic, if you are a fan
Pan fry the steak
Slice the eggplant and fry in the same pan
When your meat is done, take it out and finish cooking the aubergine to take on the flavour left in the pan
Cut the aubergine smaller and slice the steak
Shred the lettuce, chop the chives and slice the radishes while the meat and eggplant are cooling
Mix everything together and add the walnuts
If you have juices left in the pan, add them to the salad together with olive oil, ketjap manis or balsemic vinegar and the herbs.
Mine was only a small salad for one, make as much as you need to feed your people.
