When you crave a bit of colour as well as a good dose of vegetables but don’t want to get too full with heavy Winter food, this is a great recipe. Perfect for a midweek meal as it’s ready in around 20 minutes, you can really keep the goodness of the veg intact by not cooking anything for too long here.

Farinata
Vegan recipe of the year!! Farinata is like a vegan omelette or frittata. Originally from Genoa in Northern Italy, it’s another strand of the French socca, but is a lot thicker, cooked in the oven and benefits from having extra ingredients added to vary the flavour and texture – add in or take out whatever you fancy. It makes an excellent main dish along with salad or you could serve it as an appetiser in smaller slices at room temperature. Remember to prepare the batter in advance as it sits for at least 2 hours before you can start cooking….
