Day 163 - roast dinner and pudding


For this term, Monday night is roast night! So I stupidly bought a roast lamb from Woolies. God it was horrid. The meat was inedible. Dinner was saved by the fabulous potato bake and Cols plum chutney,which has now run out...

The potato bake was the best recipe ever. It came from a cook book called the food of Italy. You need a V-slicer to do it properly.

You need, an onion, 4 potatoes, a bit of butter, 2 cloves garlic, half a cup grated mozarella and same parmesan (or a bit less)

1. Finely slice an onion and leave it to soak in water for an hour - this miraculously takes out the acidity and crispyness!
2. Line a springform tin with baking paper and heat oven to 180
3. Finely slice (takes seconds on the super dooper v-slicer) about 4 potatoes
4. melt a good tablespoon of butter and then add a couple of crushed garlic cloves and let it sit for a bit.
5. layer the potato, brush with butter/garlic, add a light layer of onion and sprinkle with cheese, and season, then keep layering! Drizzle the dish with the last of the butter, bake for an hour. Yum
(I am having leftovers with some green salad tomorrow!!)
