Seasonal recipes from your store cupboard
Have you got some puff pastry over from making that pie? would you like something ready in the freezer for that lunchtime snack/ picnic hamper/ unexpected visitor for drinks or simply a quick and easy bite for when you are busy gardening/decorating ….. or simply hungry!!! Raiding the fridge usually turns up some perfect fillings …
These make a great last minute canapé or just a nibble with a drink. I make a large batch and freeze them in a 12-portion roll. You can substitute the onion with fresh chives or spring onion for a colourful result.
Even on a cold winter’s day, a warm salad can be comforting. Slowly roasting grapes gives them an intense sweetness with a lovely sticky texture. You can use any grapes as long as they are seedless and its great for using up any that are past their best.
