Winter Warmers......................

Winter warmer
Keeping it simple....................
Comfort food, being warm and a sense of home.
I can remember as a child being tucked into bed in winter with a hot water bottle.  It was that comforting feeling of  "I am home".

I have passed this tradition onto my children and they love nothing more than jumping into bed with their hot water bottles. 

So gather your family and cook up a delicious meal and enjoy your time together.

Here is one of my favourite recipes.......

Pan-fried veal with soft polenta and blue cheese.

4x 200g veal cutlets

2 gloves garlic, crushed

1/4 cup chopped oregano leaves

2 tbl spoons olive oil

sea slat and cracked pepper

11/2 cups chicken stock

11/2 cups milk

40g unsalted butter

1 cup polenta

150g blue cheese, sliced

Place the veal, garlic, oregano, oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl and toss to coat.  Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.  Add the veal and cook for 5-6 minutes each side.  Set aside and keep warm.

Place the stock, milk and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.  Bring to the boil and gradually add the polenta, whisking to combine.  cook for 1 minute, whisking continuously, until thickened.  Top the polenta with the veal and blue cheese to serve.

Enjoy!
