French Onion Soup A Delicious Vegetarian Version....

French Onion soup has to be one of my all time favourite lunches. It has everything you need; sweet caramelized onions in a rich broth, crispy garlicky croutons and lots and lots of Gruyere cheese. Comforting, nourishing and flavoursome – it always scores 11 out 10 with me!

It’s the perfect meal for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Check out this great recipe for the vegetarian version I used.

The only changes I made to the recipe was using 1 cup of grated Gruyere cheese rather then the Swiss cheese she used. I also used a small baguette and cut 3 pieces for each bowl of soup. I lightly grilled them with a garlic butter mixture before placing in the soup and topping with the cheese.

Delicious!

Easy Salad Dressing...

Tonight I had a sudden craving for a rocket (Arugula) salad alongside my jacket potato. A very dear friend of mine first introduced me to rocket about 10 years ago and with it she made this very tasty dressing.

2 large handfuls of rocket leaves.
3 Tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
2 Tablespoons of Balsamic Vinegar.
1 Tablespoon (or a generous squeeze) of fresh lemon juice.
1-2 cloves of minced garlic (I tend to use 3-4 but I love things to be very garlicky)

It’s as quick and easy as that!
