Bread making and more

We are going to hold a bread making - and general cooking with home ground grain - day at the chapel on Wednesday 18 March, 2009.

If you'd like to come but that day won't suit let us know - we can probably change the day to accommodate.

We're trying to fit it in March, in case anyone is thinking of using some of their economic stimulus payment to get a bit more food storage together - and might like to investigate wheat grinders.

Light Wheat Rolls

This is a fantastic recipe. I use more whole wheat & less bread flour but the choice is yours. I also have made them in the bread maker which makes them even easier to make.

Burghul, fetta and tomato salad with herbs

2 cups burghal
1 tablespoon ground cummin (I didn't have any so I substituted a mix of spices)
200g fetta
200g cherry tomatoes (I used ordinary tomatoes because I had them)
small bunch of basil leaves
1/4 cup chives - snipped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
juice of 1 lime (or the stuff in a bottle will work)

Combine burghal and cummin in a medium bowl - cover with boiling water - set aside for 15 min then drain if necessary.

Toss with remaining ingredients.
