A smart veggie starter that will impress even the biggest foodie at your dinner table

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Main course, Starter, Supper

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 red-skinned apples
3 tbsp lemon juice
3 x Capricorn goat's cheese , halved horizontally
2 tbsp cranberry jelly
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp clear honey
25g pecan
2 chicory heads, separated into leaves
handful radish sprouts (available from larger supermarkets) or watercress

Steps:

  • Quarter, core, then thinly slice the apple into a bowl with the lemon juice and 1 tbsp water. Toss well, as this stops the apples going brown.
  • Heat grill to high, then line your grill rack with foil. Put the cheeses rind-side down on the foil, then set aside for a moment.
  • Drain 2 tbsp of the juice from the apple bowl into another small bowl and discard the rest. Add the cranberry sauce, oil and honey with some seasoning, and whisk to form a dressing. Grill the cheeses for 4 mins, then scatter the nuts on and around the cheeses and return to the grill to cook for a few mins more - but take care that the nuts don't burn.
  • Arrange the apple, chicory and radish sprouts or watercress on 6 plates, then carefully top with the hot melted cheese. Scatter over the nuts, spoon over the dressing and serve straight away.

PASTA WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS AND GOAT CHEESE



Pasta With Roasted Red Peppers and Goat Cheese image

Years ago, I stayed with an Italian friend in Bologna who worked long hours at his job. By the time he got home, he was hungry, so he'd start water boiling and cast about his tiny kitchen to see what he could use for dinner. Then, to my fascination, he'd whip up a delicious pasta sauce from almost nothing: a few anchovies and some walnuts, or a can of tuna and another of beans. Yesterday's bread became today's bread crumbs, browned in olive oil with garlic and tossed with spaghetti, olives, capers and jarred tomato purée. I try to keep a jar of roasted peppers handy at all times. They're useful for panini, pizzas and especially pastas like this one. Spanish piquillo peppers are particularly sweet, but bell peppers will do as well. If you have basil, it's delicious in this dish - but not required.

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 10m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup thinly sliced roasted sweet red peppers
Salt
freshly ground pepper
4 large basil leaves, cut in slivers chiffonade optional
3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
3/4 pound pasta, any shape

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet. Add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the sliced roasted peppers, and stir together for about a minute until well infused with the oil and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the basil (if using) and goat cheese. Remove from the heat.
  • When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the pasta. Cook until al dente - firm to the bite - following the recommendations on the package. Ladle about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water into the frying pan, and stir well so that the goat cheese begins to melt. Drain the pasta, and toss immediately with the pepper mixture in the pan. Serve.

SALAD OF FRENCH-STYLE GREEN BEANS AND GOAT'S CHEESE



Salad of French-Style Green Beans and Goat's Cheese image

French-style green beans (which is NOT the same as French green beans!) are great for salads: they are slightly sweeter than "normal" green beans, and because they are so flat they are easy to blanch quickly without losing any of the goodness. This recipe is great for picknicks -- bring the cheese separately and add to the salad just before serving. If you want to add some colour, add a finely cut tomato.

Provided by Is This Really Nece

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

250 g French style green beans, uncut
100 g black olives
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 lemon
salt
fresh cracked black pepper
50 g fresh goat's cheese

Steps:

  • Juice the lemon. Cut the beans diagonally into broad diamond shapes (any shape will do, but this just looks pretty). Blanch them in boiling water in circa 2 mins and immediately rinse in cold water. Cut the olives into chunks. Mix beans, olives, oil, and lemon juice, and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Crumble the cheese over the salad.
