I tried this Broccoli recipe from the Tolkien food week

Also I forgot to photograph the finished product because I'm a goof. It was yummy though!

Tolkien Food Week Day 4 - Elven Realms / Vegetarian Dishes

The Mirkwood "Immortal Broccoli" Orzo Bake

Confession time, we've had a broccoli in our fridge for..... a while. With a best before date that has long since passed, I honestly don't know how it's still in tact. I've decided it's basically immortal 😂 I was going to throw it out last week but decided I could try and get it into a @tolkien-food-week dish.

I also have orzo in my cupboard so I googled "broccoli orzo recipe" and this was the first result. After 30 seconds of reading I decided it was worth trying due to simplicity. And it meets the "vegetarian dishes" prompt too.

Guys.... This is the best thing I've made in a while. The flavour is incredible. It's got garlic, cheese, red onions and pesto, and unlike Dwalin you will not be disappointed that it lacks meat.

Method for 2 portions below the cut:

Chop up 2 cloves of garlic, 1 small red onion and about 1.5 cups of broccoli. Add to an oven safe dish and cover generously with olive oil, plus salt, pepper and paprika. Mix well and bake uncovered for 10 minutes at 180c in a fan oven (200c if not).

✨Optional Extra✨

I also grated the broccoli stalk and added it to the dish to increase the veggie content. The stalk has the most nutrients!

Once baked, remove the dish from the oven. Boil kettle and dissolve a veggie stock cube in 350ml water. Add 150g orzo to the dish, 3 generous teaspoons of green pesto and all the stock. Cover with tin foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and take off the tin foil. Add cheddar cheese and return to the oven to bake for another 7-10 minutes or until cheese is golden.

Serve and enjoy! (and yes this is my son's spider man dish..... It was the first one I grabbed from the cupboard as I couldn't wait to try this, don't judge me)

So this is actually elven broccoli you bought, it doesn't grow old and decay. 🥦

I DEFINITELY want to try this one!

MAY I INTERRUPT YOUR FEED WITH THE RECIPE FOR THE BEST SOUP I’VE EVER TASTED IN MY LIFE 📢

It’s from The Unofficial Lord of the Rings Cookbook.

• We did not have parsnips so we used radishes instead, it doesn’t matter, they just absorb the flavor of the soup

• We used purple, yellow and orange carrots

• We did not have parsley root, juniper berries, red chile pepper, or pomegranate so we left those out.

My husband made it, not me, but both of us and our 5 year old said it’s one of the best meals he’s ever made. And he’s like, a really good cook.

Sneaking Middle Earth Coded food in for the movies during the weekend!!!

Sooooo as y'all know (if you've been following my lotr trilogy audiobook posts), I'm going to the 25th anniversary extended binge of the Lotr trilogy this weekend! Those movies are extremely long (duh.) Rather than eat sub-par movie theater meals I made some really good hearty food to take! I'll be packing vegetarian sandwiches on artisan bread too. Yes I will be having cake during Bilbo and Frodo's birthday party too🥳😆

First I made Lembas.

This is my second time making it and it's... special 🤣 again.

I made mine vegan with plant based butter and plant based whipping cream.

Then, I made Rohiran style root vegetables.

I used radishes in mine instead of beets. I also added a sprinkling of brown sugar to the top.

Honey Roasted Root Vegetables - Rhubarb & Lavender

These hardy honey roasted root vegetables are inspired by the northern climate of the Kingdom of Rohan from The Lord of the Rings.

Lastly I made Shire coded roasted potatoes.

I didn't boil mine before roasting because I like them a little crispy at the edges. I also added vegan butter to them as well. I baked these for about 38 minutes at 425F. My potatos are also red because I like those better.

I'm very sorry to inform my very limited following that unfortunately I will no longer be baking. I tried. But alas it is not my calling.

Blueberry pancakes

We’ll ease into the recipes for this year. I’m not asking you to cook up a horrific Klingon dish this early in the new year! Instead, why not try these blueberry pancakes - we all know they’re delicious, and so does Doctor Phlox (ENT: Unexpected). Unfortunately, T'Pol is not so keen, given that she had not yet got used to living with humans, let alone eating their food. Suspicious Vulcans aside, these pancakes are sure to please most visiting species who have dropped in for breakfast. 

I like thick, fluffy pancakes, so the batter I used is quite thick. If you prefer thinner pancakes, increase the amount of milk to get a thinner batter. I used fresh blueberries but you could certainly use frozen ones instead. 

Replicate your own (Makes 10-12 med-large pancakes)

Uttaberry crepes

When you’re in the middle of a diplomatic issue and two of your crew are missing presumed dead on an alien planet, it’s no surprise you need to take a break every now and then and help yourself to some crepes. Uttaberry crepes as made at Quark’s, to be precise (DS9: Armageddon Game). I’m not sure about Captain Sisko’s culinary choices because he orders this with a serving with chowder and I’m really not sure about crepes and chowder going together.

However, for now, we’ll ignore Sisko’s dubious meal and concentrate on the crepes. These crepes use tinned blueberries and I put some of the juice  into the crepes to colour them slightly purple (I figured this was appropriate for uttaberries - if you’ve encountered different coloured uttaberries, please let me know!). You can also drizzle some of the juice over the top of the cooked crepes, and I like a squeeze of lemon too. Notwithstanding Sisko’s gastronomic inventions, these crepes are well worth making. 

Replicate your own (Makes 10-12 crepes)

For the day after First Contact Day: Vulcan Mocha

Hooray, it’s First Contact Day! We are one year closer to inventing Warp drive and meeting those wacky neighbours of ours, the Vulcans, for the first time. I’m not sure how the Vulcans would have responded, but I am sure that for Zefram Cochrane, the party would have continued long into the night (Star Trek: First Contact). I am certain that many cocktails were imbibed and pierogis consumed. 

I’d like to think that when the Vulcans saw that Cochrane was a bit worse for wear the next morning, they provided him with appropriate sustenance to help him recover. At the top of the list would have been the Vulcan Mocha, with enough coffee to get the brain going but with enough sweetness to make it palatable first thing after a long night. If you don’t find it sweet enough with the chocolate, you can also add some sugar, as Harry Kim preferred (VOY: Non Sequitur).

Replicate your own (Makes 2 medium sized mochas)

Yamok Sauce

Yamok sauce, that beloved Cardassian condiment which goes with everything from asparagus to sand peas, and also useful to trade for self-sealing stembolts (DS9: Progress). I can understand its popularity and the need to have vast quantities of it around - although perhaps not as much as Jake and Nog ended up with. 

This is, of course, a variation on hollandaise sauce, which, like Yamok sauce, goes with everything and can be varied in almost infinite ways. If you’ve not made this type of sauce before, do not be afraid! While it involves constant whisking it is made in a few minutes, and if it does split, can be easily brought back together.

Replicate your own (Makes about a cup of sauce) (Based on this recipe - you can also make it in a blender if you prefer)

In the time since I made gingerbread men I have tried a few other recipes, they however did not go very well, and I therefore will be sadly announcing that justjayisfine0 Will be taking a break from trying to bake.

For the good of the people.

Me being horrified at my own cooking.

The people around me not knowing what they're looking at.

Does anyone know of any gingerbread recipes?

I would really like to make gingerbread for Christmas but I need to practice a bit first. Sadly I don't have any recipes. I'm going to look on YT and the usual websites but I was wondering if anyone knew of a gingerbread recipe which is really good?

[justjayisfine0-triesbaking]

I made gingerbread people, they were a bit thicc and soft rather than snappy like normal gingerbread but it was still really good. I was a bit of an idiot and forgot to take a single picture, So just trust me that they exist. Well they existed. We ate them all 🤣

https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/gingerbread-people&ved=2ahUKEwiQ4t_b0OmGAxVdWEEAHZToC-gQFnoECBUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2Wu4rzK-dIxJpR6YkkxsuI

This is what the recipes gingerbread people look like. Mine did not look like that.

Chocolate Chip Cookies!!

Make classic chocolate chip cookies with this easy recipe, perfect for everyday baking and occasions. Find more cake recipes at BBC Good Foo

I had to substitute some of the ingredients but they turned out amazing! - once cooled they're nice and hard on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside... Yum!

(edit: now that they have cooled, they have the consistency of a cake rather than a cookie... Anyone know why?)

I had some trouble with mixing the egg and vanilla extract into the sugar-butter mixture, my batter split. Very badly.

Does anyone know why?

I used a whisk (non electric) to "beat" the mixture like it said but I honestly have no idea what causes the mixture to split...

Also I didn't have a sieve for the flour, I didn't notice a difference but maybe I would if I tried the recipe with a sieve. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Anyways, thank goodness this hasn't put me off of baking. I wonder what I'll make next 🤔 ... Preferably something which uses up granulated sugar and plain flour because I have a lot of that left over 😂
