Did you miss me?
First, some housekeeping. Point the first- the Girlfriend is now technically the Wife, but changing the terminology seems like a lot of effort. Just remember while reading that I put a ring on it. Point the second, we moved almost two weeks ago and we now have a working oven, which means baking and cupcakes and more cupcakes oh my.
Working oven means that I was able to deal with the glut of carrots we had in our veg box last week (oh yes, point the third- we're apparently firmly middle class now) by making a carrot and beetroot loaf which is a) healthy, and b) tastes like Christmas.
Carrot Loaf
You will need:
Lots of carrots (3 or 4)
A beetroot
A piece of bread (ideally stale)
Lentils (ideally left over from the night before)
At least two eggs
Spices: salt, pepper, cinnamon, cumin, mixed spice, oregano. It should smell like Christmas.
Grated cheese.
To make:
Grate the carrots and the beetroot. Make the bread into breadcrumbs. Mix together with the lentils and the spices. Add the eggs- you may need more. Stir until it all sticks together.
Grease a loaf tin. Put it all in the loaf tin and top with the grated cheese. Pop into an oven preheated to 180c. Cook for half an hour or until the carrot is soft.
I served with broccoli and chard, so we basically had a re-imagined salad for dinner, but it was hella yummy.
