A beautiful late summer salad

BBQ flat bread, with piri-piri chicken and black bean rainbow salad

Barbequed flat bread is my new favourite addition to a BBQ supper. And the great thing is you can add stuff into the basic flat bread mix to make variations. This mix included some chilli flakes and dried oregano but the sky is the limit.

This black bean salad was a marvellous success. It was so beautiful, the photos do it no justice at all. The black of the beans made the colours of the coriander, sweetcorn, red and green pepers and tomatoes so much more vibrant.

Is this my last supper request?

French onion soup, aioli and swiss cheese on toast

Cheese, Bread, Onions, Red wine, Mayonnaise and Garlic - What can go wrong? 

Maybe followed by some evil chocolate pudding and ice cream and I think I have my last supper request should I ever need one!

This was whipped up out of random bits we needed to use up but it is well worth remembering the recipe as I would love to recreate it again.

Easy Supper - Turkey Caesar Pitta burger

Whipped these up super quick and cheaply and they were really tasty. Can't wait to

 make them again. I wasn't sure what the boys would make of caesar dressing but they really liked it.

Turkey burger

One pack turkey mince, mixed with one egg, some grated parmesan and about four mashed anchovy fillets and half a clove of garlic. Mix and form into 4 oval shaped patties. Griddle on a high heat, turning half way through until cooked through. Serve in a toasted white pitta, with some romaine lettuce leaves, some parmesan shavings and some caesar dressing.
