Menu wk 02

We had a very simple menu last week which included:

- Pasta with courgettes, mushrooms and Parmesan
- Lentil & rice casserole (cooked by Trave for my birthday)
- Mushroom and red pepper cheese pastries
- Carrot and pesto lasagne

As we had some puff pastry and egg left from the mushroom and pepper pastries, we made some little parcels with chopped dried apricots, honey and demarara sugar: this was an excellent way of using up the leftovers of the pastry. It was really nice. Simply roll some bits of chopped apricots and honey into the pastry, seal and brush with a little of the egg and sprinkle with demarara sugar. Place in the oven for 15 minutes or so.
