Caper-and-egg-mayo-sandwichesCaper and egg mayonnaise

  • 6 hard boiled eggs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • Salt/pepper

Mash eggs and mayonnaise into a paste, then add capers and combine. Season with salt/pepper. Spread onto rounds of sour dough, or use to fill sandwiches. 

Cottage cheese and avocado

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 teaspoons fresh chives – chopped

Roast-red-pepper pestoRoasted red pepper pesto spread

  •   -  2 red capsicums (or small jar of grilled red peppers if you prefer not to roast the capsicums yourself to save time)
  •   -  2 cloves garlic – crushed
  •   -  3 tablespoons olive oil
  •   -  1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  •   -  ¼ cup almonds – chopped
  •   -  ¼ cup pinenuts
  •   -  2 cups fresh basil leaves
  •   -  ½ cup parmesan cheese - grated
  •   -  Sea salt – to taste

Roast whole capsicums in a hot oven for 10 – 15 minutes or until skin blackens and flesh is soft. Take out and put in a plastic bag for a couple of minutes – this will make it easier to now remove the skin. Alternatively purchase a small jar of roasted/grilled peppers. Put capsicum into a blender with parmesan, basil, nuts with vinegar and garlic. Pulse to combine roughly. Add olive oil and process to a chunky paste. Season to taste. Use to spread on sourdough rounds, or use as a sauce for pasta.
