Veg Casserole - whats the secret ingredient to make it tasty????

[becksmummy]

thats it really, I have tried before but always a bit bland. DH is veggie so cant add meat to give it more flavour.

cinnamon

why not add a jar of mincemeat too, and a few glace cherries?

weirdo

you can get a veggie worcester sauce, but I don't really see the point

oh who is coming to eat my food in a few weeks? aha ha ha ha HA

I will NOT have aspartame in my house
you can think again

geeny have you ever had a morioccan tagine??

I have a real affection for them (not exactly authentic as I throw in what I have) But I use that Ras al Halout stuff, cinnamon and raisins

bay leaves. everything tastes tastier with a bay leaf, imo.

a reduction of red wine, molasses, thyme and dark soy sauce

in answer to the OP, all this smooching and cliquieness is hampering the culinary wisdom, imo

and if a fake, fish-eating veggie, an anchovy is an excellent base for so-called vegetarian food. i make a mean minestrone this way...

red wine
marmite
worcester sauce
tom puree
teaspoon sugar and pinch salt
nice stock
herbs
soy sauce
loads of softened onions
ditto garlic
teaspoon peanut butter
creamed coconut
make some herb dumplings
serve with grated cheese or yoghurt

ah another anti-hijacker
ah well, if I cannot clique around occasionally there is not much fun to be had answering threads on casseroles IMO

what does peanut butter do to it? I ahve never, ever thought of that

oh FFs let's cut the crap, there's nothing like a great hunk of animal tibia to impart flavour

end of

oooh franny how's the boat you must tell me all about it now here on this thread I demand it.

peanut butter adds a kind of mellow unctiousnous - good if you have over done the acidic tom and stuff.

Is a fucking dream in curries - stick it in your dhal darling!

cinnamon is good in some savoury dishes

penut butter in dahl?

heh
Bee have had wrists slapped twice now on this thread by venerabler posters; will come and tell you on your coffee thread

yes peanut butter in dhal - or goat curry - works well there too.

ooooh i'm liking the peanut butter thing...

has franny gone? you know she's been on the bacon butties since getting up the stick, don't you?

I believe curry goat is the correct term, BBBee

god I wish
I did think of bacon with slight yearning the other day

franny

it is lovely, frank. all pink and salty, with sliced tomato and a wee blob of mustard.
