9 d. ago How to turn old bread into a classic Portuguese soup – recipe

A waste-saving, resourceful and powerfully flavoured broth featuring coriander, garlic and old breadToday’s punchy and bright-green garlic and coriander soup is an intriguing Portuguese way to use up stale bread. The recipe is adapted from the traditional açorda of Alentejo, where it’s thought of as the region’s signature dish. Açorda is said to have been born from necessity, a waste-saving and resourceful soup that’s transformed by olive oil, plentiful herbs and rich egg. I find this take on it particularly interesting because, instead of simmering the coriander, garlic and egg in hot broth, they are instead put in a bowl and the broth is poured over them. This enhances the powerful flavours of the garlic and coriander, and the whole lot is then ladled over stale bread. For a vegetarian version, just omit the fish. Continue reading...

1 week ago Elly Curshen’s quick weeknight recipes for using up leftover greens, bread and vegetables

Sunday roast overspill vegetables are superb on toast with cottage or cream cheese and chilli jam; leftover naans happily host boiled eggs, chutney and chilli oil; plus an ad lib olive salsa on toast with red onion and hummusThese are all about taking the spoils of the weekend, whether that’s leftovers from Sunday lunch, the bits you couldn’t finish from a takeaway or the last scraps from a party spread, and stretching them out to make joyous weekday lunches. I’m concentrating on ideas, rather than recipes as such, because using up the odds and ends from the fridge needs to be part of the flow of your cooking to avoid waste. Everything is quick, easy, involves minimal prep and, crucially, is endlessly open to adaptation. Continue reading...

2 w. ago How to make the perfect vegan caesar salad – recipe | Felicity Cloake's How to make the perfect

A respectful homage to the classic caesar, using plant-based ingredients to hit the same flavour notesIf I’ve learned anything from almost 40 days of plant-based eating, it’s that an homage doesn’t have to be indistinguishable from the original to hit the same spot; it simply needs to sing equivalent notes to much the same tune. Those notes, in this case, are a green salad, a thick, umami-spiked dressing and savoury croutons, all tossed in a pitch-perfect combination of flavours (milky lettuce, salty fish, rich fat) and textures (crisp leaves, creamy dressing, crunchy toasted bread). So, while the recipe below isn’t pretending to be an authentic classic caesar, consider it a very decent and, I hope, similarly pleasing cover version. Continue reading...
