Love Cos lettuce this time of year. We’ve had a little bit of rain and a cool start to spring and the greens are very happy. With Cos and eggs in abundance, my thoughts for the Tuesday Night Vego Challenge this week turned to Caesar salad.
Since I’ve been making sourdough, over a year now, I haven’t bought bread but I also haven’t bought crispbread. Crisp, seedy biscuit topped with cottage cheese and salad used to be a really regular lunch for me. So I’ve been playing with a homemade sourdough based version, and it’s joined the list of things I like homemade best.
I found this gem iron in an op shop. It took me several months and quite a few goes to learn how to use it, but now it is one of my favourite kitchen tools.
The first of the new season apples have just arrived at our local Farmers Market, coming down from the Tablelands (within our 160 km range as the crow flies), and there are still some late season peaches too, so just for a few weeks the seasons overlap.
You can make these with or without nuts as well, depending on your school’s nut policy.
