Grandad's peas

Just warm fry

Mushroom tomato Salad

Mushrooms and semi sundried tomatoes  were marinated in lime juice, Braggs Aminos, olive oil and pepper. After a while the mushroom and tomato juices mixed and made a tasty dressing. But it looked a bit dull. So I added a garnish of tomato, drizzle of oil and a sprinlke of parsley sprouts. The fetta was for the visitor who "needed" normality so I added fetta!

Curry coconut Pumpkin Soup

I didn't have fresh coconut so I  soaked some dessicated coconut for a while then blended it and strained  through a nut milk bag ( I actually use an Enjo wash bag I had never used).
The coconut milk  went back into the blended with  butternut pumpkin. A spoon of coconut butter, ginger, red onion, salt, curry and tumeric pastes.
Blitzed  again. Strained through the bag again since my blender isn't a powerful blitzer.
The soup was then smooth and creamy.
I warmed it slightly in a bowl over a pot of simmering water.
Sprinkled with rawmesan. (With the stick blender I graound up a very small garlic clove with raw cashews and salt until powdery).
