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.

A very easy dessert.

Beat eggs and sugar together

Add Flour and

 
joanie, I was fascinated by the "plum duff" name and checked the recipe....

it appears to have disappeared?

But I love saying "plum duff" "plum duff" "plum duff"...so I'll just keep saying that...well, maybe I'll keep saying it. Actually I can't. My tongue stumbles after the second "plum duff".

Is there alcohol in this recipe that I can't see?

 
LOL!...I think that was from the 2nd post...look at the first post.........

I had such probs with the server blanking out yesterday, seems little better today but it made me double post a couple of times I saw....however a story about the name.....

The name "plum duff" may mean a Christmas Pud but my Dad, who was a wonderful cook and Oh so English had a some wonderful names he called things eg...
'Cornish pasties' he called "Teddie-Oggies."
His name was Ted and he loved making these, I believed they were called that 'for real' and had an argument with a cousin who had visited the UK family and thought she knew it all ...
"Na, na, na...they are called pasties'
Under her breath she was deff. saying silly little dumb blonde, what does she know anyway!!)

We were about 8 then....

Anyway he also always called anything sweet with plums in the recipe 'plum duff' which we accepted as his name for a recipe he wasn't sure about the reception for. We had a large prunus tree and each season got a bit tired of plums.

Well, years later and Dad firmly in mind we have plum season yet again and I saw these wonderful purple plums in the store and decided once again to turn a recipe I have for an apple cake/pie into a plum/pie cake. So 'Ouma Bokkie's Apple Pie' has again became "Plum Duff" and I must say it has gone down so well I keep being asked for the recipe if not the actual pud.
