Well I looked in the fridge and saw a few things that need to be used up... Also saw a few manky looking kumura in the bin as you sometimes do so a plan was made for a mix and match dinner... Kumara Croquettes... 4 med kumara.. 225g can crushed pineapple,drained.. 2 rashersbacon, chopped and par pre-fried.. parsley roughly chopped.. 2 eggs.. 1 tbsp cornflour.. 1tbsp pineapple juice..11/2 cups dried breadcrumbs.. 1 tsp ground cumin.. 1/2 tsp ground chilli.. tarragon,fine chopped.. 2 spring onions fine chopped (white and green).. 1tbsp water.. 1/4 cup oil Boil and mash kumara..let cool.. add fried bacon pieces, tarragon, parsley and mix well into kumara and then add one of the eggs. Mix in some pineapple. can add more later if mix dry..Beat 2nd egg, cornflour, water and a little pineapple juicetogether ... Shape kumara mixture into oblong shapes. You want a relatively dry mix to retain their shape... Mix bread crumbs with cumin and chilli and dip croquettes into egg mixture and then breadcrumb mixture... Put oil in baking dish and roll croquettes gently in oil, bake 200degc 20 mins or till golden rolling over as required... Oks, 4 nice chubby beetroot from the garden, peeled and drizzled in an olive oil and red wine vinegar mix.. salt, black pepper and into oven.. some of my garden tomatoes have blemishes so a few slices here and a few slices there and we have a nice tray of tomatoes , given the same treatment as the beetroot but with some processed basil sprinkled on top... 4 Big brown mushrooms with the stems trimmed and olive oil added with a sprinkling of peri peri and onion salt... I think we will have some nice leftovers for lunch tomorrow..

Not sure about your life in Spain - I know mine ... there are not many vegetarian tapas - except the "tortilla" which is sliced cooked potatoes, fried onions and eggs.
Apart from that I have trouble remembering anything else entirely vegan or vegetarian - but I am sure - you will tell me anytime soon.

Corned beef, mashed spuds and peas tonight.Cooked the corned beef in the slow cooker as usual, but did it in gingerale for the first time.i'll definitely be doing it again that way. Cheers

I was referring to the Masterchef challenge on Sunday night which specifically asked for vegetarian tapas as part of the challenge.Maybe you didn't get to watch it all...and the Spain of your 1960s is not the Spain of today ;)

Haha - I am so glad someone knows more about me than I do myself .... maybe tell me where I was in Spain in the 1960's ... now that would be fun ... and maybe what I ate as well ...!
Tonight I had a lovely goat roast with lots of herbs and several green limes and chillies. Ate it with fried courgettes and a mixed green leaves / tomato / cucumber salad.
