Simply Eggcellent #10 – anything goes

1 December 2015 by Dominic Franks

fig and honey mince pie with chocolate shortcrust

… well here it is, the big month of December, or Christember as I like to call it.  All bets are off.  No excuses, you are officially allowed to be as merry as you jolly well like and for us food bloggers that means plenty of Christmas baking and plenty of eggs!  For this month’s Simply Eggcellent i’d love you to go completely wild and share all your recipes containing those glorious free-range eggs so that by the time we reach January we’ll have an incredible smorgasbord of delectable recipes.  From classic christmas cake to mince pies… from poached eggs with smoked salmon to fried egg on toast… or how about a whisky sour or a classic eggnog… and if you don’t happen to celebrate christmas, well the theme is open to everything – the list is limitless, as the title say, quite literally, Anything Goes!

Vegan roast vegetable gravy. The best gravy I’ve Vegan roast vegetable gravy. The best gravy I’ve ever made, easily on par with the roast chicken-wing gravy I made at Christmas. Served here with @quorn_uk ‘meatballs’ and two types of mash - regular potato and swede & carrot.

Cake! - is there such thing as a ‘healthy’ cak Cake! - is there such thing as a ‘healthy’ cake?

This fat-free orange and lemon cake is actually an adaptation of the infamous Clementine Cake by @nigellalawson . It’s one of my absolute favourite ‘go-to’ cakes.  If truth be told I usually make it at Christmas because its rich almond nuttiness and intense clementine fruitiness is perfect for the holiday season but looking back over the years I realise I haven’t actually made it for about 8 years! So now seems the perfect time to resurrect an old favourite.  It’s also a great cake to make if you have an abundance of citrus fruit left over from last year.  I always seem to have a few stragglers left in the bowl that really need eating.

vegetable stew with a creamy yoghurt sauce & chedd vegetable stew with a creamy yoghurt sauce & cheddar dumplings with @quorn_uk pieces and @fage_uk yoghurt

The challenge with making food or diet-related New Years resolutions is that it tends to be pretty damn cold this time of year and all we really want to eat is warming soups and stews which often tend to be quite naughty.  With this stew I’ve tried to cut down the fat but still make it unctuous and satisfying although the dumplings are a total cop-out but I’m thinking that this is a ‘one bowl meal’ and I’m not saving it with any other carbs so I’m letting myself off here!

Roast Brussels Sprouts Fajitas with homemade Oat-F Roast Brussels Sprouts Fajitas with homemade Oat-Flour Tortillas

Not more Brussels sprouts I hear you cry! But like puppies, Brussels are not just for Christmas.  They are a very versatile vegetables and can be used in so many recipes, plus they’re packed with the good stuff. They’re high in fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to your diet. They also come with added health benefits, including the potential to reduce the risk of cancer, decrease inflammation and improve blood sugar control.  If all this isn’t good enough for your wellbeing then ive added some tangy Mexican-inspired spices and some homemade tortilla’s to remind us all of the sunshine and holidays… remember them?
