Mussels and Chips!

Author Damien Wilde
Posted On 21st November 2013

mussels

Mussels are in season and incredibly easy to cook so you shouldn’t be put off with complicated recipes or worrying about them fighting back.

They are incredibly healthy, brilliant on their own or in a risotto or paella.

I’ve found you an easy-peasy 15 minute recipe, one of my favourites from eating ‘Moules et Frite’ in France (mussels and chips!)

celeriac

Don’t let the pumpkins and squash steal the show, November is also a good month for root vegetables.

Celeriac could be considered to have a slightly off putting appearance perhaps, somewhere between a misshapen turnip crossed with a human brain but it truly is the unsung hero of the vegetable world.

For one thing, it is healthy and fairly easy to prepare, for 100 grams this vegetable packs only 45 calories.

It is as versatile as a potato but lower in starch, celeriac is beautiful boiled then mashed, skinned and roasted or added to soups, stews and casseroles.

portobello mushroom

It’s mushroom season!

The winter nights are drawing in and the mushrooms are popping up under trees and in hedgerows all along the UK.

Warning: there are approximately 15,000 types of wild fungi across the length and breadth of the UK, many are poisonous and will do serious harm if ingested. Do not eat a single mouthful of any type of mushroom you cannot 100% identify.

However, the ones bought from the supermarket are usually fine!

Take 4 large Portobello mushrooms for this recipe, it takes a few minutes to prep and is low in fat, approximately 180/200 calories a ‘shroom depending on how much cheese you use.
