It had to be done today! A green dish inspired by my Dad for a special day! A very Happy St Patrick’s Day to all that are celebrating. It has been really lovely to see the different recipes that have been cooked and presented on our blogs for today! Everyone is in the joyful spirit! I too had my very first proper taste of Guinness this weekend. I really liked it. To me it was like a mature smoky coffee taste which was really pleasant! I can’t wait to bake some goodies I have bookmarked that have Guinness in them!
Have a gorgeous day! Enjoy yourselves! Much love D x
INGREDIENTS
1 medium aubergine chopped into chunks
1 cup frozen garden peas
8-10 asparagus spears chopped
1 large courgette peeled and chopped
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 garlic clove crushed
Salt to taste
⅓ tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp coriander & cumin powder
Fresh lemon to taste
METHOD
• Heat up the oil in a medium non stick saucepan, throw in the aubergine and peas. Coat well with the oil and cover. Cook on a low heat for 5 minutes then add the asparagus. Cook for a further 6-8 minutes
• Season with salt and spices, put in the garlic, courgette and mix well. Once again cook on a low heat for 8 minutes or so, to allow absorbtion of the flavours
