Quiches and Tarts are so popular in my home at the moment.
I make the pastry from scratch and then the filling is made up of whatever vegetable we have laying around in the kitchen that has to be used up; and saved from the compost bin.
I am looking forward to my weekend. I've signed up to two different classes this weekend, both educational for personal development and interest. It won't feel like a weekend off, as the weekend will entail lots of screen time, reading and listening. I was thinking about taking Monday off as annual leave, but i have a one to one with my Line Manager that i cannot cancel. So it will be a long working week.
Anyway, what plans do you have for the weekend?
A good use of all the odds and ends of veggies!
ReplyDeleteI have started a freezer box of all the trimmings that would go in the compost to make vegetable stock...an idea from Jack Monroe...save enough then cook them up!!
Thank you gz.
DeleteMy freezer is small, so no saving trimmings for me they all go to the compost bin, if we don't eat it.
Besides my lentil soup, this is the third recipe I've seen today that is versatile enough you can add whatever is in the fridge or pantry. I should make quiches more often. (I just hate to make the crust.) Lovely colors!
ReplyDeleteYeah i w snever keen on making the crust, but easy with my magimix blender for the dough, then roll out by hand. Some part of it is easy. ps i think we are all being thrifty Debra with what veg we have to hand at home.
DeleteWow that sounds good and a little fancy - it looks really beautiful too. Not much pastry happening here - feels too much work!
ReplyDeleteAm seeing my family in Geelong on the weekend - has been quite a while since I have been down so that will be nice - hope to get to the beach. Good luck with your educational sessions - hopefully they will be worth the zoom drain!
Thank you Johanna. I was quite surprised at how pretty it turned out too - but that is in the eye of the beholder as others may look upon it and think - messy. Pleased to read that you are seeing family in Geelong. The weekend learning was excellent. i feel genuinely enlightened and something i can put into action too.
DeleteThat looks so pretty and delicious!
ReplyDelete~Have a lovely day!
Thank you Teresa.
DeleteSome cooking, clearing and reading as well as meditation. I hope you enjoy your classes.
ReplyDeleteThank you e.
DeleteAh that's sounds like my weekends usually. The mediation sounds good.
Your colourful quiche looks fab. I’d enjoy taking a slice of that to the allotment for lunch!
ReplyDeleteOoh, you’re going to need a random day off in the week if you’re working at the weekend too! Hope the course and LM chat prove useful
Thank you Belinda. It would be great allotment grub. Yeah, i am thinking of taking a little easy tomorrow afternoon after the LM. Its St David's Day so after lunch, i think most of my work colleagues will be chilling.
DeleteI hope you got a lot of enlightenment and ideas out of your busy weekend!!! You've made me realize that I definitely need more tarts in my life!
ReplyDeletei like to make frittata with whatever is in the fridge. this looks great! and i love broccoli and i love capsicum:-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry, yeah this could easily have been a crustless tart, aka frittata!
