LENTIL SOUP ON GAMMON

 LENTIL SOUP ON GAMMON




It's a 10 from Nina!!!!


Tonight we had a lovely pot of lentil soup for tea.  Nina had requested 'flat soup' like they make at school, which we realised meant that she wanted it blended :) the school cook also let me know that they add a sweet potato to their lentil soup which we don't usually do, so added that in tonight.  


Anthony's recipe:

Lentils, carrots, neep, onion, sweet potato, and gammon.  'I didno work wi ony measures just pat in enough lentils dat I tocht wid dae.'  

Method:  'I put the gammon in a pot, put enough water to cover it, added in a chopped onion, got it boiling, added in the lentils and stirred for a start.  Peeled the carrots and neep, chopped into cubes and threw that in.  Let it simmer away for 2 hours, then added the sweet tattie cubes, and simmered for anidder half hour.  Took the meat oot, cut it up.  Put the soup in the blender to cream it up then served :)'

Ratings
Nina 10/10 - woohoo.

Alison 10/10 'It was fine to have blended soup for a change, we usually just eat with bits in it.'

  Hello!!! I'm Willa Mae.  I am 8 years old and live on a small island called Whalsay in Shetland. I am very interested in cooking, baking and generally being as healthy as possible!  I have a health condition called Craniopharyngioma which means that I need to have a lot of appointments at the hospital and with people who help to keep me well.   I have started this page to share some recipes that we are making at home.  I will be very honest and tell you my thoughts on the recipes that we try!  I plan to rate them on: - How easy to get the ingredients? - How much did I enjoy making it? - How much do I like the taste? - How likely am I to make it again?  I hope that some of you will try some of the things that we cook and bake on my blog :)  I may also throw in some other wellbeing activities that I do to keep healthy and happy :) I sometimes type up my blog myself, or sometimes I tell Mam and Dad what to write and they do the typing for me! ...

  ROAST MUTTON FOR TEA!  We never had our 'Sunday denner' yesterday as we were just back from having a sleepover for a wedding, and so just had heated up lentil soup for lunch, and quiche for tea.  We felt like we needed our Sunday fix so Mum and Dad made a 'Monday denner' instead.  Willa's ratings:  Easy to get the ingredients - Yes, we ate local today - we got the mutton from Granny Linda & Da Wilbert, and the eggs for the Yorkshire puddings from them too! We got the 'Bressay tatties' and all veg from Tetley and Anderson, apart from the broccoli, which we got from Tesco on Saturday, but overcooked it and it was looking a bit droopy.  We even used Shetland salt.   Me and Granny Linda & Da Wilbert's Hens  Easy to make - Yes, Mum put the lamb in the the oven and slow cooked it, and prepped all the tatties and veg - then she took me swimming so Dad took over and cooked it, and made the Yorkies.  My sister Nina says Dad makes the be...
