Nutricali's Journal, 25 Jul 20

This looks amazing! What’s in it, Nutricali? xx 

I went a bit heavy on the peas (in honour of my Nan.) Thanks for suggesting it Gilly! It would’ve been way better with new potatoes 😋 but it was still amazing.  

Chlorella the filling is a mix of green lentils, onions, garlic, fresh herbs, plum tomatoes, peas and vegetable stock. I also used cumin seed, coriander seed, chilli powder, dried chilli, bay leaf and turmeric. I can send you a full recipe? I’d bet Gilly’s is even better 😊 

Hilly I’d certainly like to give it a go! I made sausage rolls the other day, they were brilliant but a little soft. I’d seen them called cottage rolls online, which gets confusing when talking about pies lol 

Yes, please, sounds great. Was it an online recipe? Maybe you can paste the link here. 🙏🏻Thank you! 💕💕💕 

Celery was what I was missing! Shame I’d run out, and carrots would’ve been good too. Next time I Would half the peas and double the lentils for a much more cottagey pie 😊 but here’s what I did: 1tsp cumin seeds, 1tsp coriander seeds, 1/4tsp chilli, pinch of turmeric and cumin, 1 bay leaf and 1 dried chilli all cooked in a little oil. Then I added 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1/2 cup each of red and white onion to soften before a bunch of chopped herbs from the garden, 1 tin of plum tomatoes, 1 cup of lentils cooked in vegetable stock and 1 cup of peas. Finally I took out the bay leaf and whole chilli (and finished by cheating with a little cornflour as I couldnt wait for it to reduce😅) then topped with 1 large mashed sweet potato 😋 

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thanks so much! Sounds laborious but well worth the effort. Definitely I will give this a try❤️💕❤️💕 

I think I’m making it sound more complex than it was with my bad wording 😂 it’s just the same start as a curry 😋  

Well, curry is laborious 😅😅😅 No, you explained it really well. 😊 Thanks 🙏🏻 

You’re welcome 🥰 I hope it turns out even better for you!
