« on: March 11, 2009, 10:03:18 am »
This just came out in a newsletter so Im assuming its okay for me to post it here, its from the new vege cookbook, I havent tried it r tasted it myself tho but thought you might all like a sneak peek
Also in the book there is going to be some recipes for body scrubs and bathbombs!

Walnut Mushroom Flan

Ingredients
1 qty shortcrust pastry (see recipe 'Everyday Cooking with Every Family' cookbook)
1 sprig rosemary
Handful Italian parsley
140g toasted walnuts
200g Tasmanian feta (Australian)
Juice 1 lemon
Cracked black pepper to taste
460-500g brown or Portobello mushrooms sliced
40g butter
80g white wine

Method
Make pastry and blind bake in a flan tin with removable base. Cool.
Meanwhile place rosemary leaves and parsley into TM bowl and chop for 5-10 seconds on speed 7.
Set aside around 2 tablespoons of the chopped herbs.
Add walnuts, feta, juice and pepper into TM bowl and process for 5 seconds on speed 6.
Add more lemon juice if the mix is too solid.
Spread onto cooked flan base and set aside.
Place mushrooms, butter and wine into TM bowl and cook for 8 minutes at 100°C on Reverse + speed soft.
Allow mix to cool slightly before pouring onto walnut paste in flan. Do not use all liquid if there seems to be excess. Sprinkle with reserved chopped herbs.
Warm through in hot oven for 10 minutes before serving with fresh salad and crusty bread.

This just inspired me to order a copy for my Mum's birthday  :)
As my picture shows, I've suddenly become younger :-)  DD was of the opinion that her picture should be here, not mine!
