Alioli (All i oli)

Recipe by: Aureli

Be the first to review it!

This is a popular Catalan garlic sauce that goes very well with grilled meat and roasted pepper and aubergine (Escalivada). I have seen many spellings for this (i.e. alioli, aioli...) but the real name is "All i Oli" - from the Catalan for Garlic and Oil - and these 2 are the only ingredients although there are variations and some places add egg to ensure the consistency of the sauce, which with our without egg should look like mayonnaise.

Apple crème caramel

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Most traditional recipes for crème caramel are made with a sugar-based caramel and a rich creamy custard. The fruity version here uses apple juice both for the caramel and in the custard, thus reducing the fat and sugar content and making it dairy free. Served with blackberries, or another seasonal fruit, this is a delicious treat for family or friends.

Broccoli and red pepper quiche

This vegetable-packed quiche is cooked in a large, deeper-than-average tin and the pastry is rolled out thinly to give a generous amount of filling and small proportion of pastry in each slice. Serve warm, rather than piping hot or chilled, with a lightly dressed, crisp salad.

An original French recipe of my grandmother's, tweaked a bit to be lower in fat! It's best made with fresh fruit. If you want to make it the original way, not low-fat, just use regular milk and butter and 4 large eggs.
