Mushrooms And Leeks

[Vagus]

Had them in the fridge so made a quick pasta sauce with the addition of some Elmlea and a bit of milk. Very tasty.

I buy lots of veg when we shop each week with no idea of how I'm going to use it. Off to the shops tomorrow although I have some tomatoes which need using, prob a pasta sauce of some description..any ideas?

Too late Chris, it's all gone but you would have been very welcome 😉

Oooh, now that sounds nice, thanks Chris, tomorrow sorted 👍😋

I was thinking of tomorrow, Vagus, when you'd be using those 🍅 🍅 🍅 🍅 🍅 🍅 up in the lovely spicey sauce that I've linked to above 🍽

Sounds quite interesting.

I find the packs of miniature portions of Boursin useful to jazz up a pasta sauce.

Packs of 6 little squares in a box.

That sounds good, Vagus.   I have chestnut mushrooms  (buy them every week) and about 6 leeks still standing from last year's sowing which need eating.  Thanks.

This reminded me to put mushrooms on my online shop. 😊

But not Elmlea...why not cream?

[Vagus]

Glad to be of help jordain, I wish more people would post meal ideas as I've found lots of inspiration here in the past.

Why Elmlea, Pasta? Simply because I had some in. I buy a strip of three pots of it when we go to Costco as it has a long shelf life and as we don't use much cream it works out better, for us. Last night I wouldn't have gone out at that time and bought cream just to splash in the sauce, whereas I had an opened thingy of Elmlea which did the job perfectly. For me, it's a good alternative to cream to add to cooking,I wouldn't use it in say a cake or trifle though.

Sorry Rosie, didn't mean to ignore you, that's a good tip which I'd not thought of 👍

I used to use it many years ago...I switched to double cream when I started using it in coffee, so it gets used fairly quickly. I also use it in omelettes or frittatas. 

I didn't really like the ingredients in elmlea too much.

We still have the Recipes sticky at the top of this Topic...maybe post yours up there...it will encourage the rest of us

The recipe section has never been much of a success really has it? I'm not sure I've ever used it, I prefer to just post here rather than type out a whole recipe (I don't actually use recipes very often, just make it up as I go along).
