As my Picnic Recipes post was so popular I thought I would create another post were I would share some of my favourite autumnal recipes. I have lined up 4 recipes that are really yummy and easy to make. Some of the recipes are not my own recipes, so I will link them, but as always I have made the recipe myself and tried them out.
Starting of with my Breakfast Recipe
Pear, Almond and Caramel Porridge/Oatmeal
Serves 2
1Pear diced
75g Almond flakes
1 cup Porridge Oats
1/2 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Almond Milk
1 Banana cut up
Caramel Sauce (bought or made)
Mix the water and almond milk in a pan (the best pans are non stick pans). Let it heat up for a few minutes and then add in your porridge oats and let it cook according to the instructions on the package. When the porridge is nearly ready add your banana and pear. Let the porridge finish cooking and add 65g of your almond flake to the porridge. To serve, pop your porridge on a plate/bowl, drizzle some caramel sauce and sprinkle some almond flacks on the top and Voila.
Next up we have a recipe that can be served for lunch, dinner or as a starter.
Roasted Vegetable Minestrone.
This is a recipe I found on The Pioneer Woman and it is so good and warming, you must give it a go.
Here is the link to the recipe.
Warning- This recipe does take longer to make. It took me about 1h30, so make sure you are not in a rush.
Pan Sealed Scallops with Pumpkin Risotto.
Again I found this recipe online. Really tasty and great if you are having friends round. Here is the link to the recipe.
Last but not least we have a sweet treat.
Apple Strudel
This is so good it has become a staple autumn desert for me and it's really easy to make as well.
For the filling you will need:
110g Sugar
1/2tbs Cinnamon
35g Butter
50g Raisins
2tbs Almond flacks
juice and zest of half a lemon
7g corn flour
5 apple of your choice
For the pastry you will need:
4 Sheets of filo pastry
80g Breadcrumbs
70g Sugar
1tbp Cinnamon
100g melted butter
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C /400 degrees F.
For filling
Place a pan on a medium high heat and add the butter. Once the butter has melted add your diced apples and let it cook for 7 to 10 minutes. Then stir in the sugar. After a minute add the raisins, almonds and cinnamon to the pan and mix. In a bowl add the lemon juice and zest and mix with corn flour. Once mixed add to the apple mixture and let it thicken. Leave on a low heat while you prepare the pastry.
For pastry
In a bowl combine the breadcrumbs, sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Then brush your filo melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon mixture. Lay another sheet over the top and repeat the same process. Once you have reached the forth sheet brush it with butter, but don't sprinkle any more of the cinnamon mixture. Flip all the sheets over, so that the first sheet is on top and brush it with butter. Place your filling alone the edge of the pastry leaving a 2 cm gap from the edge. Then carefully roll the pastry into a log. Press the ends to close. Place it on greaseproof paper and place it in the oven for 20 minutes.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
There you have it all 4 of my autumn recipes. I hope you give them a try.
