Replacing goats cheese and aubergines
Hello Lindsey. As soon as the restrictions are lifted I'm having my lovely family (not seen in over a year) here for a few days and I'm planning ahead so I can spend maximum time with them but still treat them to lovely meals.
I have a question that affects 2 recipes from Delia's Summer Collection.
Roasted Vegetable Cous-cous Salad - what can I sub for the goat's cheese and I want to serve this as a side (rather than a main). Would you recommend fish or chicken.
Roasted Mediterranean Vegetable Lasagne (p 110) - my daughter-in-law is allergic to aubergines. What can I sub for this ingredient and as I will roast the vegetables for both recipes at the same time, can I sub a vegetable that will go with both?
Thank you.
Eileen
Hello Eileen,
Isn’t it wonderful to have some entertaining to look forward to!
I think it works well without the cheese but you could do either fish or chicken. I’d probably go for chicken. Perhaps marinated chicken thighs cooked on a griddle pan.
For the aubergine you could just increase the vegetables that you like. Courgette is probably the obvious one but any will work. Or you could add artichoke hearts – these are lovely drained and marinated in oil and herbs.
Kind regards
Lindsey
That's great. You make it sound so simple and so obvious. Thank you Eileen
