Autumnal Fish Dish

This recipe was sent in by the lovely Maddy, a key member of the Ooffoo community.

Ingredients

1lb of Cod steaks
1 small onion
4oz mushrooms
Fish stock
4 oz crumbly white cheese
Packet of Breadcrumbs (or homemade if you prefer)
Dill

Method

Dice the mushrooms, onion and fish into bite size pieces (half inch squares). Add these all to a baking dish and sprinkle in some dill. Next cover it all with the stock until the water line is just above the pieces.

Put in the oven at approximately 180 degrees and cook for round about 15 mins.

Next grate the cheese finely (as it is crumbly cheese it will have a similar consistency to the breadcrumbs), once the cheese is all grated mix it together with the breadcrumbs in a bowl.

After the 15mins, take the fish from the oven and sprinkle the cheese/breadcrumb mixture evenly over everything. Put this back into the oven for another 10mins. By this time the cheese and breadcrumbs should have formed a lovely golden “crust”.

SERVING IDEAS

Serve as it is or with a side salad to garnish, additionally some potato wedges accompanied by a little creamy garlic sauce would compliment it well.

Enjoy!

Mushrooms Recipes

	Baked Autumn Omelette This baked omelette can be customised using so many different veggies, herbs and spices, and makes a fab lunch on its own, and a hearty dinner served as a side.
	Halloween Veggie Skeleton Platter I think the picture says it all! I came across this idea last year - thanks so much to Laura at *Feeding Frenzy* for the photo.
	Lentil Spag Bol Spaghetti Bolognese doesn't have to be reserved for meat-eaters. If you fancy a change, this veggie option is delicious. And it's a good way of using up spare veg box tomatoes and onions. See the variations for ideas of how to use up spare carrots, mushrooms or even runner beans in this dish.
	Three Mushroom Tart These mushroom tarts are packed with flavour. Ideal with a mixture of fresh and dried mushrooms, the key is to use whatever you’ve got available and to serve with lightly steamed, fresh seasonal veggies.
	Crunchy Mushroom Pilaff With many thanks to the Mushroom Bureau for Britain for this recipe and the accompanying photograph.
	Andrew William’s Spicy Vegetable Lasagna with Peppers Here is fellow food blogger Andrew Williams' recipe for Spicy Vegetable Lasagna with Peppers. Andrew says: "I think it’s safe to say that there’s more of an emphasis on Mexican that there is on Italian in this dish. Ideally you should use habanero chilies to make this dish. The fruitiness of habanero chilies works really well in this dish. If you can’t get them then don’t worry as any chilies will do."

Onion Recipes

	Denise Tolson's Smoked Haddock and Early Apples Apples come into season in the UK in August, and there are varieties in season all the way through till the end of March. Denise Tolson, VegBox Regular and our "Appointed Apple-Afficionado for August", recommends a savoury recipe using smoked haddock and early season apples.
	Denise Tolson's Bramley, Cox and Celeriac Dish This recipe was provided to us by Denise Tolson (of Jerusalem Artichoke fame!). She got it from her mum. We love it because it uses not one but TWO types of apple, and unlike our other celeriac and apple recipe, this one is really quite luxurious. Enjoy! Thanks to The Bramley Apple Information Service for the photo.
	Cream Of Asparagus Soup Cream of asparagus soup is a great way to use up any woody ends of asparagus spears or any late season asparagus that's a bit too tough to use in side dishes or salads. It works well with green or white asparagus, so use whatever you can get hold of.
	Melanzane Parmigiano Parmesan-baked aubergine. Simply delicious. If you're one of the many who's not convinced by the humble aubergine, I suggest you give this one a go.
	Home Made Beans On Toast Homemade beans on toast are packed with flavour and taste quite different to the canned variety. They're a wonderful treat for lunch or a light supper.
	Beetroot Soup (Borscht) This recipe is a great way of using end of season beetroot. It is simple and delicious - just beware its staining potential! The potatoes are optional and aren't usually included in the traditional Borscht recipe, but they help thicken the soup, which makes it less messy for kids to eat.

Bread Recipes

	Grilled Apple and Cheese Sandwich This snack is a firm favourite in our house, especially on the days when we’re in a hurry, the cupboards are a little bare, and there's no time to go shopping! All you need is bread, cheese and apples, after all!
	Rye Bread Rye bread is much darker than normal white bread or wholemeal. It makes a really delicious loaf and rarely lasts more than 2 days in our house. It's about the only thing I can get my toddler to eat, if he's teething!
	Herby Seed Bread Herbs and seeds can transform a simple loaf of bread. Baking your own is actually surprisingly easy, especially once you’ve practised a few times.
	Home-Made Bagels Home made bagels aren't strictly a vegetable recipe, but they make a great base for all sorts of wonderful toppings and making your own bagels is really easy - and seriously scrummy!
	Russian Black Bread This recipe was submitted by TFryer, a member of the Ooffoo community, as an entry to the Recipe Prize Draw. Chocolate and coffee in bread?! We're GOING to have to try this!
	Root Vegetable 'Crumble' with Cheesy Topping This is a delicious recipe for baby or Chantenay carrots and other roots veggies. The secret ingredient gives it a warming kick. Make the most of your turnips, swedes, parsnips and sweet potatoes. You can also use celeriac or kohlrabi.
