second chance!
a holiday is often hard to commit to due to work however the appetite and enthusiasm with which I return always make me think holidays should be compulsory not optional!
this weather all white and wintery has me craving for stews and spices, soups and root vegetables, all good I think after the rich indulgence of Christmas, New Year and a birthday!
I made, this week, delicious little fritters, crisp and hot with flecks of red chilli to off set the green of the main ingredient. The sauce that was drizzled over was perfect but certainly not something i would normally have put with this seasonal vegetable, soy, rice vinegar, sugar and lime. The smell and then the taste seemed to have the family forming an orderly queue without being called!
Oh yeah I forgot to mention the main ingredient, might be due to the fact I don’t like them, never have, but may be now I love them! Brussel sprouts, give them a second chance. check out Jamie Oliver’s brussel sprout fritters. They are good.
As a brussel hater (no zenophobia here), I can’t think of a worse main ingredient but they sound lush. I’m prepared to be a convert!!
