January dish: Curly Kale and Potato Cakes
Ingredients:
500g baking potato, peeled, cut into large pieces
200g trimmed leeks finely chopped
75g curly kale, finely shredded
50g butter
2tsp caraway seeds
1tsp paprika
3tsp wholegrain mustard
2 medium free range egg yolks
2tbsp creme fraiche
100g vegetarian Applewood smoked cheddar, thinly sliced
Method
1. Bring the potatoes to boil in a medium-sized saucepan and then simmer slowly for 30 minutes until cooked. Drain and dry slightly in the pan before mashing or putting through a potato ricer.
2. Saute the leek and kale in half the butter until soft. Add the spices and cook for a further 2 minutes.
3. Mix together the potato, vegetables, mustard, egg yolk and creme fraiche in a large bowl, and then form into 4 large cakes (or 8 small ones).
4. Heat the remaining butter in a large non-stick frying pan and gently cook the potato cakes on both sides until dark golden and crispy.
5. Top the cakes with the cheese and place under a hot grill until melting.
6. Serve with a shredded white cabbage and carrot salad (or as a side dish with veggie sausages).

You don't need the extra step and pan to steam the asparagus--during the last 5-8 (up to 10 depending on thickness) put the asparagus in the roasting tray with the potatoes. Also, toast the walnuts in a pan on the stove; better control, less washing up. I'm trying this tomorrow.

If God would have wanted us to be vegetarians he wouldn't have made animals out of meat!

If you read the bible you will see that man/woman were created to be herb,plant,berries,nut ect. They didn't eat meat till much later in the bible and it was after sin happened. Prior to sin there was no death of anykind including animals.
