What are you Eating?
So, what are you eating today? For lunch? For dinner? Share your menu with us, spill the beans…
Is it something fancy or plain? Is it a great example of Fife Dietery or has it all gone a bit pear-shaped?
Here’s the space to share ideas, ‘fess up and ask for advice… ( you can go here to look back at the previous thread ‘What’s for Tea?’)
So…it’s officially Nettle Week on ‘What Are you Eating?’ – this is the first EVER Fife Diet cook-off experience. Here’s how it works…
1) cook something with nettles (choose from some of our great recipes here if you want)
2) take a picture and email it to us at mike@fifediet.co.uk
3) add in your recipe and some blurb about how it went.
4) sit back and compare notes with other Fife Dieters and how they got on.
Next week there’s a different food and so on and we’ll see how we get on…

Do you slice the Jerusalem Artichokes for the lasagna Catherine?
last night spanish tortilla, mashed root veg and a mashup of leftover tablespoon of bolognaise sauce with shredded garden greens.
I may steal that JA Lasagne Mrs B. Non-slimy food eh! Sounds good
we had jerusalem artichoke lasagne tonight by the way, caramelised onions, bit of chilli, boiled artichokes, stock; I made the pasta because I wanted to see if it worked in lasagne (it does) and a breadcrumb and feta topping. steamed cabbage on the side! nice. I thought it would be too slimy but it wasn’t.
Also the sauerkraut thing is not to be underestimated. After attending my first cultured cooking workshop (link!!) I’m a convert… it’s like a sort of cheese type addition to a meal, and can be mixed in with regular steamed veg in a hot dish for an exciting extra dimension to your cooking.
Cabbage is a great filler for all sorts of things; it carries flavours so well and is a lovely texture when shredded. We enjoy it in pies or pasties with all sorts of things – try blue cheese, smoked things, chilli/apple/beetroot with a vinegary tang, caramelised onion with any of the above… also delicious steamed and then flash-fried with sesame seeds and soy sauce. My top tip is to shred finely. Chunks of cabbage are just so uncouth.
Dave, have a look at the recipes section and search cabbage, lots of suggestions there. Rumbledethumps caught my eye!
I have a surprise lot of jerusalem artichoke, celery and parsnips and am pondering what to do? Jerusalem Artichoke Pizza – Celery Soup and roast parsnips the current thinking – any other ideas out there?
I’m trying the Beetroot & Carrot Curry (from the Spring booklet). My flat breads are bit ugly but it’s absolutely delicious (esp with a bit of yoghurt). Ive been on the Fife Diet for four months now and am loving it. My only problem? I’m overdosing on cabbage. Any suggestions?
Vegan spaghetti bolognaise and home made garlic bread – local: all the veg; British: pasta; probably been shipped all over the place: TVP mince.
