Melanzane, is the Italian word for brinjal (egg plant or aubergine, as some may refer to them). And the ever-so-popular version where slices of roasted brinjal are smothered in a rich Italian tomato sauce and baked with cheese on top, is known as Parmigiana di melanzane. This is an absolutely wonderful side dish or starter.
Malfatti are rustic, handmade Italian ricotta dumplings. The word translates to ‘poorly made’ so don’t be alarmed if the shapes don’t look absolutely perfect. The delicate dumplings on this rich tomato sauce is so mouth-watering, you will want a second serving of this vegetarian dish.
This is my version of an Italian minestrone with beans and lots of veggies – fabulous to make this weekend! The beans are soaked overnight and then precooked before adding the fresh veggies. This way the beans are soft and the veggies don’t overcook, but still have some texture and lots of colour.
This vegetarian or vegan dish is absolutely delicious! Enjoy it as a meal for six people or make as a side dish for 8-10 people – it’s great when feeding a crowd and perfect for the weekend! This dish can be served warm or at room temperature. Have you cooked bulgar wheat before? It packs a healthy punch.
’n Mieliesop is dikwels ’n dik en romerige wintersop, maar hierdie is ’n ligte, vars weergawe. Dis so geurig en kan as voorgereg of ligte maaltyd voorgesit word. Maak dit meer vullend met iets soos spek of skyfies chorizo as jy wil.
Hierdie Geroosterde wortelsop is ’n maklike en vinnige sop met baie geur vir ’n lekker winters-ete. Die natuurlike soet smaak van wortels is ideaal saam met die ander groente.
