General kitchen advice

A local veg box shared between friends is a few quid a week, and the perfect way to slash your food miles while eating good food. So if you're self-catering at university why not try a doorstep delivery from one of the many veg box scheme providers?


Oven Tips : Switch your oven off a few minutes before your food is ready - it will stay hot enough to finish cooking the food.


Try Eating Raw Food : You need a balance of three basic food groups as most of your diet:
  • sweet fruits (apples, oranges, berries, melons, etc.)
  • green leaves (dark lettuce, kale, collards, spinach, etc.)
  • raw plant fats (avocados, olives & their oil, coconuts & their oil, nuts & seeds, durian)
    • Eat lots of sweet fruit, lots of green leaves, and some fat (as dressing, pâté, hummus, etc.). Add vegetables as desired, and sprouted grains and legumes occasionally. Try fruit for breakfast and snacks; greens, veggies and fat for lunch and dinner.


    Cooking safety

    If a deep fat frying pan catches fire turn off the heat if it's safe to do so - but never lean over the pan to the controls.
    If the deep fat fryer oil starts to smoke don't put the food in. Turn off the heat and leave it to cool.

Ingredients And Procedures

----------------------------------RISSOLES---------------------------------- 8 oz Green lentils

1 pt Hot water

2 oz Margarine

1 ea Onion, finely chopped

1 ea Carrot, finely chopped

1 ea Green bell pepper, diced

2 ea Garlic cloves, crushed

1/4 ts Cayenne

1/2 ts Coriander

1/2 ts Cumin

1/2 ts Curry powder

2 ts Tomato paste

Salt & pepper, to taste 1 tb Parsley, chopped

----------------------------------COATING---------------------------------- Vegetable oil 2 oz Wholewheat flour

2 oz Breadcrumbs

2 oz Oats

--------------------------------YOGURT SAUCE-------------------------------- 1/2 pt Plain soy yogurt

2 tb Parsley, chopped

1 tb Chives

1 ea Garlic clove, crushed

1/4 ts Cumin

Lemon juice, to taste Salt & pepper RISSOLES: Combine lentils & water, bring to a boil, reduce heat & simmer for 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender (I think it needs closer to an hour to get them really tender). Add more water if necessary. Heat the margarine, add the onion & cook for a couple of minutes. Add the carrot & pepper & cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the spices, tomato paste & salt & pepper. Mix together well & stir in the lentils. Add the parsley. Allow to cool till it is cool enough to handle. Divide the mixture into 12 portions & shape into patties. Coat them in flour, dip in some oil & coat in the breadcrumbs & oats (I omitted this step). Shallow fry in hot oil until the patties are golden brown on both sides. Drain well & serve with the sauce. SAUCE: Combine all ingredients together & chill. MARK'S NOTE: The vegetables do need to be finely diced, it may well be easier to use a food processor. Also, if using the oats, I'd recommend running them through the processor too so that they resemble oat flour.
