AVOCADO & BACON SALAD, HUGHS POLENTA AND OTHER NON POTATO DISHES!

Mealtimes over the past few weeks have been quite a challenge, particularly lunches as Marie, my wife, is avoiding potato's and bread.  I hadn't realised how much we rely on these day to day but we've managed to find some tasty alternatives and have been enjoying various salad, bean and polenta dishes. 
Here's just a few...

Avocado and bacon salad which literally takes 5 minutes to make

and is surprisingly filling.

Mixed leaves, spinach and sliced avocado topped with pan fried bacon and chorizo

and a free range poached egg

I have never made polenta before and was unsure what to do with it.  Having trawled all my cookery books, I eventually found this recipe on line from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.

Hugh's polenta fingers (olive oil, chilli, garlic & rosemary) with garlic & tomato sauce

and a fresh green salad.

Recommend you try this!

Sausages with lentils, cream,wilted spinach and roasted tomato's

Utterly delicious!

Swede, carrot and parsnip rosti topped with thick shredded ham and 

a poached free range egg or two! 

There's no shortage of eggs in our house, as you know, so they do turn up in many

of my dishes at the moment.

Fortunately the salad and beans counteract the eggs, if you know what I mean.
