Fabulous food

Lately I've been trying to make most of our food, rather than buy it. That means I don't buy any pre-prepared food from supermarkets etc. Sometimes cooking is troublesome, but here are some of my efforts:


Healthy Croquettes
I don't like fried food so much, so these are a special treat. Inside is SUPER healthy - mashed pumpkin and kibi (millet). First I simmered the millet in vegetable stock then mashed it with the pumpkin. If you don't know what millet is, it is very small seeds that look like bird food! You can buy it at health food shops or some vegetable stores.

Chinese Dumplings

I used 'gyoza' wrappings from the supermarket but made my own filling. I minced a chicken breast fillet with nira, negi onions, carrot, garlic and a red chilli pepper. Very healthy! The ones in the half moon shape were lightly fried in a little olive oil, and the star shaped ones were boiled in chicken soup.

Scones

I often make scones rather than eating bread from a bakery. These ones are flavored with yuzu citron jam.
