I have a mission to create small portions so I can't overeat. The two dishes in the photo were for me and Dario. I made a massive one for Adriano and he ate it all without blinking. I thought there would be enough saltiness in the bacon so added only a wee bit extra salt to the egg mixture. Adriano thought it needed more but I didn't, so tread carefully with the seasoning. This really is nothing more than a fancy omelet wrapped in bacon, but it looks better like this in dishes rather than slopped on a plate. And the most important thing was that once I had finished mine, there was no more to eat. I guess this dish is gluten-free too. I had planned to serve it with a loaf of crusty bread but it got all eaten before dinner so I made some potatoes and a mixed salad. There are lots of vegetables in this dish so the salad is not strictly necessary but I get withdrawal symptoms if I don't eat some kind of salad in the evening. By the way, it was very quick to prepare and then cooked … [Read more...] about Mediterranean Pies – Low Fodmap

Jamie’s 30 Minute Beef Hash & Jacket Potatoes
Here we go again - the Jamie's 30-Minute Meals challenge. And this time I didn't leave anything out because there was no dessert, so I was pretty nervous we would be eating at midnight. There were four different dishes so it seemed a little overwhelming but I rolled up my sleeves, turned on the oven, got out all the ingredients and the food processor and started work. About 40 minutes later, I lifted my head and surprisingly it was all done. Not bad at all and a lot of food had been prepared. The family tucked in and were impressed. This is good homely style food which is perfect for the cold winter we are having. This is not a low Fodmap recipe. 4.3 from 3 reviews Jamie’s 30 Minute Beef Hash & Jacket Potatoes Print Author: Suzanne Perazzini Ingredients 4 baking potatoes Few sprigs of rosemary Sour cream (for the potatoes) 500g beef mince 2 sprigs of thyme 1 red onion 3 sticks of celery 2 carrots 4 cloves of garlic, minced 6 tablespoons … [Read more...] about Jamie’s 30 Minute Beef Hash & Jacket Potatoes
Bacon, Avocado & Potato Salad – this is a keeper
Potato salad is a classic but the dish has grown since we first met it. Making a great one is all about mixing the textures - the smooth with the crunch. The smooth comes in the form of avocados, the crunch is the celery. Toss in some cashews and bacon and you have a great flavour combination. This is not a low Fodmap recipe. Bacon, Avocado & Potato Salad Print Author: Suzanne Perazzini Ingredients Potatoes Avocados Bacon Onions - chopped Lemon juice ½ cup white wine ¼ cup of cider vinegar Salt & pepper Paprika ¼ tsp Mustard Powder Parsley Coriander celery - chopped Cashew nuts - chopped Method Cut up the potatoes and boil them.

Bacon, Feta and Hazelnut Salad – a quick and complete meal
Yesterday I saw a bit of a Jamie Oliver programme on TV and he was in France roughing it in the country following a hunt for wild boar. Anyway, one of the dishes he cooked looked simple and full of strong flavours so I tried it tonight. I love all-in-one salad-style meals which cover each of the food groups and I make them often. I must admit, I substituted a few ingredients out of preference and it still turned out just fine - more than just fine actually. So to the ingredients: Bacon, Feta and Hazelnut/Walnut Salad Mixed salad leaves Bacon chopped into squares - the thicker the better, not finely sliced Spring onions - sliced Ciabatta or a similar loaf of bread cut into crouton-type hunks. Fry in olive oil with the bacon until crisp. Roasted hazelnuts or walnuts chopped up roughly - Jamie used walnuts. Chives or coriander snipped up with scissors Feta cheese crumbled up - Jamie used a French blue cheese and I'm sure it would work well if I could stand the taste of … [Read more...] about Bacon, Feta and Hazelnut Salad – a quick and complete meal
