you just found the right person.
as a small starter, i love
cherry tomatoes filled with macadamia puree:
you need a cup of macadamia nuts, garlic (not much, about half a clove, you don't want it to overpower everything), lemon juice, parsley and some water. throw the nuts, parsley, lemon juice and garlic in a blender or food processor and let it go until it's a puree. you can thin it down with some water to make it a bit more mushy. slice the tops of the cherry tomatoes and scoop out the inside with a small spoon, then stuff with the puree. this also tastes great on pieces of fresh pepper.
potatoes with feta and mint are a nice side dish. peel and dice some potatoes, cook them until they are done. meanwhile, heat oil in a pan and add a small onion, in slices. add the potaotes and fry for a few minutes, add salt & pepper. take it off the stove and add freshly chopped mint and crumbled feta, then sprinkle with lemon juice.
i often make a quiche with goat cheese, you need about
:
5 eggs
crème fraiche
chives
sun dried tomatoes
1 clove of pressed garlic
salt & pepper
puff pastry (storebought is just fine, get enough to fill a round quiche mold)
grated goat cheese
soft goat cheese
cherry tomatoes
preheat the oven on 185° celcius
beat the eggs with the cream, chives, sundried tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper
mix the soft cheese with the grated cheese and spread it over the unbaked puff pastry
fill the rest of the mold with the egg mix
slice the cherry tomatoes in half and put them on top, with the sliced half showing
this all tastes great with a rucola-avocado-almond salad
1 small cauliflower
1 ripe avocado
1 ball of mozarella cheese
rucola salad
almonds
vinegar, oil, salt and pepper
wash the cauliflower and break it into little pieces
dice the avocado and the mozarella
roast the almonds in a hot pan (no oil! just toss them around real quick)
wash the salad
mix everything and make a nice vinnaigrette to go with it.
these are just some ideas, but i've made all of these dishes for a lot of people and even non-vegetarians thought they were delicious
good luck!
