  • This week’s ingredient for #theweeklyingredientbyandra challenge is LEFTOVER COOKED RICE. Because food waste is something that truly concerns me and I believe that we could all put more effort into making better use of our leftover food. So today’s recipe (👆link in bio☝️) is an adaptation of the classic #kedgeree and it is inspired from the official #DowntonAbbey cookbook. I have used 2 types of rice (pilau and jasmine) and 2 types of fish (haddock and smoked cod), but any type of long grain rice would do. Smoked cod is also optional, but I particularly love a smoky kedgeree 😜 I’ll be featuring more leftover rice recipes in stories this week, so don’t forget to tag me @mintandrosemary and use the hashtag #theweeklyingredientbyandra if you’re trying this recipe or if you want to share an idea if how to use leftover cooked rice. #nofoodwaste #reducefoodwaste #cookingwithleftovers #mindfulcooking #cookbooks #foodhistory

  • AD/ Easy lunch/dinner inspiration featuring grilled Halloumi cheese, broccoli sprouts and a parsley pesto on the side. Two things you need to know about this recipe. First: parboil the broccoli sprouts, season with salt and coat with olive oil before grilling (you can thank me later). Second: the new space saving @GeorgeForemanUK Fit Grill is your new best friend. But don’t just take my word for it. Use the GEORGE15 discount code on their website and try it yourself: it’s small, takes little space on your kitchen counter and does a great job grilling your favourite veg (and cheese) #GeorgeForemanGrill #FitGrill
  • One might argue that the soldiers to boiled egg ratio in the above breakfast setup situation is inappropriate, but hear me out here - and take a closer look at that butter dish near the egg. Yeah, that’s not just any butter in there. That’s *anchovy-garlic-caper-parsley* butter. And if it sounds familiar - it’s because it is: I mixed the salsa verde leftover from Friday’s razor clam feast (drained away the oil) with salted butter and let it set in the fridge overnight. The only regret is that there’s wasn’t too much left of the salsa verde 🤷‍♀️ Anyway: *that* butter concoction... generously spread on hot, toasted sourdough ‘soldiers’... seriously yumm. Just try it! 👌 #sundaymornings #breakfastforone #boiledegg #sourdough #anchovybutter #nofoodwaste #clarencecourt #eggsandsoldiers
  • In today’s good news, I’ve got a new best friend in my local fishmonger - who earlier on has just brightened up my mood by allowing me to cherry pick a handful of clams from his beautiful #fishfriday display. Needless to say that I had stars in my eyes while walking back home, my imagination going wild and my mouth watering at the mere thought of an upcoming afternoon feast of razor clams and anchovies ...and parsley and garlic ...and capers and lemon juice and olive oil ...and everything that’s good in this world. The only thing missing from the above situation is a glass of well chilled Sauvignon Blanc which I am enjoying as we speak, as the weekend has now officially started. Happy Friday folks! Have a mouthwatering one! 😜 #razorclams #salsaverde #ilovemyfishmonger
  • How’s your #veganuary going on? If you’re still going strong, here’s some extra inspiration: jackfruit tacos 🌮 🌮🌮 Jackfruit has a sweet and sour taste as well as a distinct texture that makes it quite versatile. You can simply roast it and use it in tacos, burgers or even in vegan stews 👌 👩🏻‍🍳 Spice up your jackfruit tacos with green chillies, plenty of coriander and just a touch of sriracha. A squeeze of lime is always a good idea. Radishes & roasted pumpkin are welcome, but not mandatory. You can thank me later 😜 #tacosthursday #veganuary2020 #jackfruit #tacos
