Just threw everything in the bowl and varoma, thawed out some leftover seeded mustard sauce and hey presto, a quick meal on a hot day.

Tonight is steamed spinach gnocchi with fresh tomato sauce.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Nigel Slater has a recipe in the Observer today for smoked haddock and spinach risotto so I'm going to give that a whirl.  I'll post it tomorrow ( if it's successful  ;) )

Uni these gnocchi are spinach and ricotta with an egg white and a tiny bit of flour. They steamed really well in the Varoma. Took about 10 minutes. I plan to post the recipe.

Beef schnitzel, not a fan, it came in a meat pack from a local butchers order I did in November.

Does anyone know how to make them nicer, a sauce maybe?

Thanks

Isn't it any thin piece of meat rolled around a stuffing - I do 1 which I refer to as involtini with chicken filled with sundried tomato, spinach and feta - have also wrapped in prosciutto, but I could be way off base  :)  :)
