For those of you with a glut of Seville oranges or a bag full given to you by a friend or just some you purchased at the side of the road here are a few ideas for using them up:-

Marmalade (obviously)
Orange and Poppyseed Cake
Orange Meringue Pie
Orange Curd
Orange, Almond and Olive Oil Cake

Other suggestions welcome, regards Bryony

They all sound yummy, stop teasing and post the recipes.

You could just juice them to make a lovely drink.

The juice is lovely over pancakes too

I`m gonna try that pork one, sounds interesting.

Just go easy on the orange !

Mrs P prefers her pork in cider

thanks. will try them out when I get a chance.

Hi, just thought I would give the 'Recipe' thread ( which I started way back in Feb) an airing. I have been watching Rick Stein's Spain ( as I hope you all have) for the last 4 weeks and it has re-kindled in me many of the reasons why I love this country. One of tonights delicious recipes was for potatoes fried in oil and served with clams. It made me remember a posting ( I think in the 'Restaurants' thread ) by someone complaining about somewhere in Ayamonte that has something similar on their Menu and referred to it as 'swimming in oil' Regards Bryony

Hi Bryony,
Download Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools,on your Kindle,it's all about a couple moving to Spain and all the fun of starting a new life in the sun.
Has lots of Spanish recipe's all through it,along with cooking suggestions,good funny book,enjoy.

Ken.

Will do Ken, thanks for that. Bryony

Hi Bryony yes watched them all...

One of the many I want to try, with a little twist/adjustment on my part, is the salt cod in roast peppers. Apparently one can buy the roast peppers in a tin (like RS did).. but I forgot the name of it in Spanish.. do you/anyboby know. Of course I can do it myself - but laziness creeps in!

Thanks

Jon

Now is the season of figs - well it is here at any rate.

I was presented this morning with a shoe box full of the divine fruit (well, it ain't a fruit really - it is an 'inverted flower' - what the hell?)

A great way of eating figs is to remove the stem, make a cross with a sharp knife until about half-way down, stick a lump of goats cheese into the cut, wrap each fig with a slice of serrano folded in half lengthways and bake at 200 degrees for 5-10 minutes until the serrano is crisp and serve as a starter.

If you don't like the really strong goats cheese buy a slab of queso de cabra tierno - DIA do a magnificent one at 4 Euros 25.

Hi Jon, the peppers are called pimientos and sold ready to use (as you say) in a tin. you will find them in Mercadona with the other tinned/bottled veg. If you are feeling particularly lazy though, you can get them ready stuffed and frozen in Carrefour. Hope this helps, Bryony

That sounds fab. Another tasty way is to open them as you have mentioned, then grill them. Leave them to come to room temp and put a large spoonful of lemon posset on top. Mmmmmmmm
