I'm no great cook, I'd admit it straight away, and I only really started cooking about one year ago, so there are still heaps to learn! Since I started cooking I've been documenting the food I cook - just like how I also document the food I eat in restaurants, the random stuff I see every day...with my crappy photos. I'm no professional photographer / foodie / cook / makeup artist / fashion or beauty blogger, so please don't judge!
(Phew!) Now that we've got things straight let's get started! Today I made dinner with random stuff that's sitting in the fridge...'British spring greens' (as it says on the packaging) and 15 meatballs.
Let's have a look at the 'spring greens' for those who are as clueless as I am:
Honestly I had no idea what 'spring greens' refers to - I suppose they're long cabbage, just a lot tougher! I tried to have it last night for (Chinese) hot pot but clearly it's not suitable. When cooked in water it's kind of bitter and hard, and I can't imagine how frying it would help. And then it suddenly occurred to me - I can just use it to make pseudo pesto! That way I won't have to chew it... LOL.
So this is what I did:
 |
| Cook the pasta first. I used herbs and garlic-flavoured linguine. Smells lovely when cooked. |
 |
| Dice an onion. |
 |
| Put the cabbage into the food processor until you get something like this. |
 |
| Fry the onion first, and after a while put in the meatballs. I do this because the meatballs will release oil and you won't have to put in too much of it! |
 |
| Add 'pesto' :) |
 |
| Brown the meatballs, then add the linguine |
 |
| Ta-da! My pseudo pesto pasta dish! |
I like to think that this is a healthy dish... :) and it helps clear the fridge!
