African Peanut Stew from the Oh She Glows cookbook :D It's simmering on the stove right now. First time I've made it, super excited for it. :)

Left over soup for first dinner and now (second dinner) a big salad with arugula, spinach, orange slices, beats, olives, avocado, pistachios and a bit of balsamic vinaigrette.

Thanks. It was really good too! I was very happy how it turned out. :)

I love risotto as it is nice and creamy. What kind of a recipe did you use or did you just make it up ?

I'm planning on making some kind of dish with leeks, as I have bought a huge bunch. Prehaps a pie or some kind of a quiche. The shops are open today (Christmas rush) so I can go and pick up some extra ingredients.

I think it's a bitt too much mushrooms in the recepie. 2 pounds of mushroom is a LOT. :P So stired in as much as I wanted, used a lot to a soup I made yesterday and froze down a box too. :P

Once you have cooked the mushrooms, there really is not much left due to their high water content. I like to have a high ratio of vegetables to rice when I make risotto.:)

It was surprisingly much mushrooms left of the 2 ponds after cooking them! I thought first it wasn't going to be that much, but I got two cups of mushrooms for my soup, and some to freeze down. So no waste. :)

Mushrooms are so versatile. I also like mushroom soup and sauce. I always add them to veggie burgers and soya loaf.
 
Leek quiche.jpg

Leek tart made with brown rice, spelt flour and ground almond pastry. I made a leek stew which was gently
simmered in evo and a filling with a cashew and tofu sauce. The pastry was really light and crispy.

I'm going to have a slice for tomorrow's breakfast,as I really like to have something savoury first
thing in the morning.
 
Christmas dinner went amazingly well - asparagus soup and warm bread to start, then "beef" Wellington with roast potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and veg, and a chocolate tart with whipped cream and raspberries for pudding :D

I think I might try a wellington to bring to my families for Christmas.
