I've missed a few blogs recently mainly because of other exciting events taking over! One of which was having a stall at Morecambes kite festival with my good friends @Lancaster Soup Dragon .
The weekend was bloomin' brilliant on many levels! So many nice people and loads of sunshine and lots of compliments about the food...........happy happy happy!

Plus I collected some nice recipes from these lovely people ~ Like the Chocolate Orange Cake from Cathy @ VWLulabelle and top flavour tip from Gary @ Teacup Kitchen ~ Miso and Walnuts!!
As soon as I got home I made some! Just dipping the miso in sugar and eating that is pretty amazing, and being ravenous after a weekend of work, I ate the miso walnuts with Lulabelles chocolate orange cake and it was bloomin' fantastic! So I made these!

This week you get 4 recipes piled together, what a bargain!
~
Latkes with Broad Bean & Miso Walnut salad
topped with Sour Cream and a Herb & Sweet Chilli dressing.
For the Latkes:
300g grated potatoes
2 egg whites
pinch of salt ~ and a few more for soaking the potatoes in
2 tbsp corn flour
Some butter and olive oil for frying
First add some salt to the potatoes and soak in cold water for half an hour.
Then drain and squeeze out the excess water with your hands. Mix in the corn flour, salt and egg white and stir.
Heat up a frying pan with a dstsp each of oil and butter and spoon in the mixture to create roundish shapes, fry until crispy golden ~ makes about 8 depending on size.
For the Salad:
1/4 of an iceberg lettuce
300g broad beans (Yes fresh are best but I used tinned which I regret!)
50g chopped walnut
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp miso paste
Small tub of sour cream
Peel the skin of the bean and try not to think about the fact that you should be using fresh ones ~ or if you are ~ feel smug.
Slice the lettuce and arrange on a plate (or on the latkes) with the beans sprinkled on top.
For the walnuts:
Toast the walnuts in a non stick pan for a few minutes then put to one side. In the same pan mix the miso and sugar together over the heat until combined then mix the walnuts in, keep stirring until coated then tip onto a plate to cool.
For the herb & Sweet Chili Dressing:
120g Parsley & Coriander
1 clove garlic
juice of 1/2 a lemon
2 tsp caper
13 dsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 dsp chili jam ~
I used the chili jam made by my lovely, local friends at Beau. Or you can make your own ~ here's how Nigella does it.
Whizz everything in a blender or finely chop.
Add the chili jam at the end to your taste.
Then make a pile of ~ latkes ~ lettuce ~ beans ~ walnuts ~ sour cream ~ herb & chili dressing.
Like this:
Best eaten while the Latkes are still warm.
