A quick update

Apologies for the lack of entries recently but here is a recipes that was made this evening.

Guacomole

Ingredients:
1x avocoda
1x dried chilli
2x garlic cloves
1x half lime
Salt
A sprinkling of finely chopped red pepper

Finely chop the chilli, garlic and put them in a bowl, squeeze over the lime and add the avocado. Mush up with a fork and add salt. Check for taste - there are those who will say add the lime later but you can correct the taste balance with salt. Add the pepper and serve.

"Real" guacamole should probably have fresh coriander leaves and tomatoes instead of pepper but this one was created out of necessity because we didn't have everything needed in the fridge.

Top tip...we made lamb shanks at the weekend and had loads of lovely juice left over...it went into a chilli tonight so all that lovely juice wasn't wasted.
When we made the lamb shanks we served up some vegetables but we set out to make some stock...the vegetables were an additional bonus...I know they're going to make a nice risotto soon.
