Not bad for a veg dish

Vegetable cannelloni. Finding Cannelloni is hard work these days - why is that?

Serves 6, but you'll probably want something to go with it.

Cannelloni pasta
2 tins tomatoes,
1/3 bottle red wine,
4 peppers,
3 carrots (chopped),
1 sm broccoli
1 lrg onion
block cheddar
1 mozzarella,
1/2 tub mascepone
basil leaves
green pesto

Chop the peppers into quarters, deseed and drizzle with Olive Oil. Roast in the oven for 30 mins or so, until the edges are just starting to turn black.
Fry up the onions, add carrots after about 10 mins, and then the broccoli after another 5 mins. Fry together for another 3-5 mins, and then take off the heat.
Meanwhile, in another pan, cook up the tomatoes and wine with some lea & perrins and ketchup. Add herbs & seasoning to taste. Reduce down until a nice saucy consistency. Might need to thicken with cornflour - you will need a fair bit of sauce.

When the vegetables are ready, put in the food processor. Add mascepone, basil and about 5 teaspoons of pesto. Whizz together until a slightly lumpy paste.

Cover the bottom of your biggest Pyrex dish with olive oil, and add in a layer of the tomato sauce (use half of it). Fill as many cannelloni as will fit with the veg paste, and place in the dish. Cover the cannelloni with the remaining paste, and then the remaining tomato sauce.
Cover with a good layer of grated cheese, and slice the mozzarella on top.

Bake in a hot oven for 1/2 an hour - 40 mins.

Not So Traditional English Breakfast

Handful of White Beans
2 Rashers of Bacon
3 Slices of Black Pudding (thanks, Lou).
1 Sausage
3 Bay Leaves
1/2 pint (or so) of milk
1 Egg
1 Tomato (I didn't actually have this, but I think I should have).

(Per person)

Soak the beans overnight in the fridge.
Boil the beans hard for 10 mins, and then simmer for 1 hour.

Drain the beans, then cover them in milk. Add Bay and Bacon (chopped into thin strips)
Heat to boiling, then simmer. Don't let them dry out, but in 1/2 an hour or so the liquid wants to have reduced down. Add more milk as required.

Fry the sausage and Black Pudding slowly over a low heat.
Half the tomato and fry that too. (Shouldn't take as long as the sausages)

About 10 mins from the end, put a pan of water on to boil, and then poach the egg.

I had this for dinner to add to the un-traditionallity of it. The subtle flavour of the beans contrasted with the strong flavour of the black pudding nicely.
