Sweet Potato, Spinach & Mushroom Stew

I stumbled upon an exciting new blog this week – Greedy Gourmet. It’s got a good mix of styles, cooking at a high, but not out of reach level. This was the first out of a few of Michelle’s recipes I tried in this weeks menu – Sweet potato, spinach and mushroom stew.

The recipe claims to be West African influenced, I found it not too dissimilar from a Thai or Vietnamese curry. There wasn’t much too it but the results were very satisfying. As Jenny will claim I do often swing towards the hotter side of warm when I cook. I ended up making my own curry paste, in the end I found it slightly lacking in chilli.

I really love the photos on her site too, I was too hungry to play around with mine so this one doesn’t look quite as good:

Greedy Gourmet recipe of the week #2 – Goat’s Cheese, Sundried Tomato and Walnut Panino. The original recipe used a standard loaf but I thought I’d try out the new panino grill from my Grandma with some Ciabatta. I thought just Goat’s Cheese by itself would be too salty so I added in a whole bunch of spinach to try and balance it out a bit.

Since sundried tomatoes are dry, I soaked them in water for a while and used some of the infused liquid to moisten the paste.
