This was a great meal:

I used left over Broad Bean Risotto and added an egg and some extra chees...sort of following a recipe but my tweek that was delicious was I rolled them not only in flour and egg but also in Walnut crumbs mixed into dried bread crumbs...VERY tasty

Open Filo Feta Pie from Delicious Magazine:

Use 10 sheets of filo well buttered. Overlap the pie dish with the pastry.

Filling:

Mix together 150g feta, 200g ricotta, 250g chopped baby spinach, pepper, 1 minced galric clove (I used 2), juice of 1/2 lemon, 2 TBL pinenuts.

The recipe calls for golden raisins, I did not have them so instead used 1TBL Craisins...very nice.

I sprinkled some parmesan on the filo first and then put in the filling.

Scrunch the pastry up onto the pie but dont cover, just make a ring around the edge.

Sprinkle 50g of feta over the top of the pie (not on the pastry)

Bake190* for 18 - 20 mins.

Oh Yummy!

Side: 250g cherry/grape tomatoes on the vine, 4 smooshed garlic cloves, 1/2 TBL evoo and 1/2TBL balsamic.

Place in a small roasting dish and toss with the oil and balsamic. This calls for a 200* oven for 15mins but I set it alongside the pie and it was all done together.

I also cooked some English Pork sausage as I had some that needed cooking.

Salad of greens and avocado completed the main.

Plum Duff Pudding:

3/4 cup castor sugar

1/4 cup milk

Oh Boy! I felt like I was standing on my head yesterday..that's vanilla ess. all fixed now!

sometimes the server acts up and we get booted all the time...I have said we MUST get another server but we live in a blind spot...although there are promises that things will be OK next month.....it can be Sooooo frustrating.

 
Thanks Joanie. Both your plum recipes sound great, along with the plum tartr Randi posted last week

I'd better hurry before they're out of season.

 
I will try these for sure. Plumes were on sale...$1.00/lb. at Pavillions!

When I got home I happened to have all the ingredients for Randi's tart so that is what's cooking now. But I'll definitely try these next.

(And now Marilyn has me repeating "Plum Duff" over and over and over.)
