Lexie was invited to help provide food at an event at her local village hall. The "pig racing" event involved small battery operated fluffy pigs racing across a table! And Lexie thought a pork recipe would go down well. It did and we made 100 meat and veggie "piggy" rolls! This recipe is for 6 extra large sausage rolls, use whichever type of sausage you like, meat or veggie.
To make 6 extra large sausage rolls What you need: 12 sausages 2 packs of ready rolled puff pastry 1 egg What you do: 1. Take the pastry out of the fridge and leave to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes. 2. Carefully layout the pastry sheets portrait style. 3. Use a knife to cut each pastry sheet into 3 equal rectangles (take a look at the photo above to see how). You should have 6 rectangle shapes. 4. Put 2 sausages on each rectangle shape (look at the middle photo above). 5. Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk it well. 6. Use a pastry brush to spread a little of the egg along the long edge of the pastry rectangle. 7. Roll the opposite long edge of the pastry rectangle over the sausages and tuck it in along the eggy edge. 8. Make sure the edge is stuck together, give it a pinch if it isn't. 9. Using a knife carefully cut 3 lines across the top of the sausage roll. 10. Brush the top of the sausage roll with egg. 11. Repeat this until you have made all 6 sausage rolls. 12. Put the oven on hot. 200 Fan. 13. Place the sausage rolls on lined baking sheets and cook in the over for 15 minutes. 14. Carefully remove from oven and brush with more egg. 15. Put them back in the oven for another 10 minutes. 16. They should be golden brown and shiny. 17. Allow to cool on racks. 18. Serve with homemade apple sauce, slaw and pickles.

What you need 1 cup of plain yoghurt 2 cups of frozen fruits (choose any you like) 1 cup of milk 2 tbsp of honey 3 tsp of oats What to do
What you need:
1 pint of milk 1 tbsp of White wine Vinegar Salt Pepper Any seasoning you like What to do: 1. Pour the milk in a pan. 2. Heat on the hob until it almost boils. Do not let it boil. 3. Stir a little with a wooden spoon to stop the milk sticking to the bottom of the pan. 4. Take the pan off the heat. 5. Wait for 2 minutes. 6. Add the white wine vinegar and stir. 7. The milk should separate and you will see the curds and the whey. 8. Pour the milk through a sieve into a bowl. The liquid in the bowl is called whey, you can save this and use it in other recipes like bread making and cakes instead of water or milk. 9. The cheese will be in your sieve, empty this into another bowl. 10. Add a pinch of salt, some pepper and chopped herbs. 11. Taste it and add more seasoning until it takes perfect. Enjoy with home-baked sourdough bread and ripe tomatoes and soft avocado = yum! My sister wanted to make this cheese.
You will need:
70g red lentils 1 white onion 1 clove of garlic Olive oil 1 tsp ground cumin a pinch of chilli flakes 100g frozen peas 2 handfuls of fresh spinach leaves 20g salted butter What to do: 1. Boil a litre of water in the kettle 2. Add the boiled water to the pan 3. Add the red lentils to the pan 4. Boil the lentils for 10 minutes 5. Turn down the heat to low and let the lentil simmer for another 15 minutes until they are soft 6. Chop 1 white onion 7. Crush or finely chop 1 clove of garlic 8. Next you need a large frying pan. Add 2 tbsp of oil to it 9. Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook gently on a medium heat 10. Chop the spinach leaves up 11. When the onion is see through, add the chopped garlic and 1 tsp cumin, and a pinch of chilli flakes 12. The lentils should be ready - they should be gloopy. Pour them into the pan with the onion and mix it all together. If it's too thick add a small drop of water - you can choose how thick you like it but I like it sludgey. Keep it on a low heat. 12. Add the frozen peas and mix 13. Add the spinach leaves and mix 14. Stir in the salted butter 15. Pour into two bowls and eat! I love this recipe served with pitta bread or wild garlic sourdough rolls. Thank you Jazz - this is my favourite lentil recipe in the whole entire world! For 5 people
