Store Cupboard Enchiladas

Today, I have mainly been enjoying Enchiladas.
As is becoming common, today was a what's in the cupboard? / what can I cook? recipe.
Some mushrooms that are past their best, some cheese that must be close to growing a covering film of mold and some tortillas which had a Best Before date in Jan 2020.

Perfect for an evening that turned grey and overcast.

They were Nom Nom, and more for tomorrow.😃

Basic Crusty White Bread

I do play around with the recipe, using a mix of a variety of flours - Wholemeal, White, 000 Pasta flour. I've even added in some grated cheese.

Cover the bowl with a cloth and leave for 10 minutes. Lightly oil your worktop and hands. Knead the dough for 10 seconds and return it to the bowl.

Luxury Surprise Store-cupboard Pudding

Post Christmas, the Panettone Breads , which are normally massively over-priced, are sold off at a stupidly low price. The crafty cook will buy a couple, and store them at the back of a cupboard, "pretending" to have forgotten about them. Luckily, they have a long shelf-life. This pudding was made from one such panettone - without any real recipe, but generally following the classic "Bread Pudding" format. First - Select your Panettone Probably worth removing from it's interior bag Cut into thick slices, spread with butter Form a layer in an oven-proof dish Personal choice, but I added some out-of-date matured mincemeat filling. Add another layer, and mix up some eggs in milk, with a little sugar and some vanilla Pour eggy-milk mixture over the panettone, and allow to soak. Cook in an over at (suitable temperature) for (a suitable time) Yes, it's as good as...

The "Debrief" Mojito.

Warning, Can result in stupefaction and a tendency to sleep during the day. Serve in a tall glass. 50ml rum 25ml gomme syrup Half a lime 4 mint sprigs Soda water Crushed ice Cut a lime into quarters and place two quarters into the glass. Add the gomme syrup and rum and muddle together, making sure you squeeze the juice out of the limes. Fill with crushed ice and top up with soda. Add the sprigs of mint and stir, lifting the lime, sugar and rum upwards In these lock-down times, Syrup + Soda can be replaced by lemonade. I won't complain.
