Vegetable Hot-Pot with Cheese Triangles

Every few weeks my Local Farm Box arrives...

It's like Christmas when all the goodies arrive...or should I say Harvest Festival! I've even been given a free sack of potatoes with my last few orders... so I've been coming up with one hundred and one recipes with potatoes in them!

Today's recipe...Vegetable Hot-Pot with Cheese Triangles...from the Complete Vegetarian Cookbook (published by Ted Smart).

It is delicious! Onions, garlic, chili flakes, herbs...fry in olive oil...add potatoes, carrots and celery...fry...add flour...fry...add vegetable stock...then bake in the oven.

While the vegetables are baking...make cheese and herb scones. I used a local cheese with herbs. Add salt and pepper. Roll out. Cut into triangles. Brush with milk.

When the vegetables are soft...take out of oven...place scones on top...sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake until scones are cooked and cheese melted. I was so engrossed with my sewing that I left it in the oven a little too long...

I made a few alterations to the recipe...I used chili flakes instead of powder...used oregano instead of thyme...added extra cheese to the scone mix...and used chickpeas instead of kidney beans.

Guess what I have for tea tomorrow! Probably for the next night too!

And for dessert...I delved into a bowlful of sequins and beads...to use to embellish my pictures!





Until tomorrow,
