Breakfast: Vegan almond meal banana muffins prepared by very good natured visiting friend. Beef and Bayley Hazen Pie from A Girl and Her Pig. For breakfast, you say? It was meant to be for dinner the previous night but this recipe was quite a bit more involved than I had bargained for. I left out the Bayley Hazen, used Cup4Cup flour, greased the pan with oil instead of butter, and skipped the milk and egg wash. I got the tutorial for preparing suet here and let me just say, that was a trial even for someone who usually finds rendering fat deeply satisfying. The smells and the leftover bits are far less appetizing than working with pork or chicken fat. Thank goodness I could shred the suet in the food processor for rendering. I grated it by hand when I was preparing the solidified rendered fat to make the dough.
I'll definitely make this recipe again with Stilton or Bayley Hazen and probably some other filling variations. If I make it while on LID I would up the salt by a few teaspoons. Maybe throw in some carrots. I might also try a different flour blend, the Cup4Cup was a little bitter. Most importantly, I will start the prep at least two days before I intend to serve it!
Lunch: Pie. There's still a lot. It's going to be in my life for a while.
Dinner: Brown rice. Eggplant and chickpeas with tomato.
