Filo pastry and runner bean samosas

As we have now harvested most of the runner beans I thought it might be interesting to make some samosas with them. Rather than mango chutney we use a teaspoon of sweet chili jam and dip them into yoghurt with mint sauce.

The filo pastry recipe was very good. I made the dough before the group came, as it needed an hour to rest before using. We all had a go making the pastry and then use it to make the samosas
   

     

As a salad will be make a couscous salad out of the 1st cookery book.
incorporating, the peppers, cucumber and onions out of the garden and the pesto we make from carrot toppings



      
We used this recipe for the pesto but added a large spoon ful of nutritional yeast.


As a desert we made some apple crumblies, a recipe I got from Monique in Nottingham. We had it with a dollop of yoghurt but it can be eaten on its own.
