Good Wine

We often buy whine for Friday nights… Lovely to take a glass of cold white wine on a hot summer night, when our baby has fallen asleep and calm has taken our home.

 

Last Friday we had a bottle of Pearly Bay Cape White. It’s from South Africa. Sugar 4 g / l, so it wasn’t too sweet!

 

Really good and affordable.

Bread rolls

My grandmother gave me a box full of old recipe cards. I find it inspirating to look at them and get ideas for suppers.

One of the cards was a recipe for bread rollls with minced meat.

• bread rolls
• minced meat
• tomato paste
• green olives
• onion
• garlic cloves
• cheese

Remove some bread from the roll halves.

Brown minced meat and add the breadcrumbs. Add tomato paste, green olives, onion and garlic. Season with salt, pepper and basil.

Fill the rolls with meat and put some cheese on top. Bake in oven, 200 celsius till the cheese is melted and has got pretty color.
