Over the Christmas break, me and the Mr made some vegetarian Calzone for my parents, and they (and us) loved it!

It was easy enough to make and the taste was out of this world. Even if you aren't Vegetarian I honestly think you will love these versions of Calzone.

Ingredients:

For dough...

200g '00' Italian Flour

6g of dried yeast

140ml warm water

15ml extra virgin olive oil

For filings...

Tomato Puree

Peppers

Tomatoes

Lactose Free Cheese

Halloumi 

Vegetarian Pepperoni

Spinach

Mushrooms

Recipe:

1. Add dough ingredients to bread maker. Put on dough setting and leave for recommended time (1.5 hours for our bread maker).

2. When dough is ready, roll into four circle shapes. Dough needs to be rolled fairly thinly.

3. Add tomato puree across the entire dough.

4. Add ingredients required to half of the dough. (like the picture below)

5. Fold over the top of the dough (the side without the ingredients on) and press down the edges to seal the Calzone.

Option 1 Filings:

Tomato Puree

Tomatoes

Peppers

Vegetarian Pepperoni

Grated Lactose Free Cheese

Option 2 Filings:

Tomato

Pepper

Sliced Mushrooms

Spinach

Halloumi (Bake the Halloumi in a pre-heated oven for around 20 minutes prior to baking it into the Calzone)

Enjoy!

Let me know if you have any recipes for Calzone, we'd love to try them out!

Today's meatless Monday dish is one of my favourites - Pan Fried Gnocchi!

Ingredients:

Enough Gnocchi for amount you are making it for (see guidance on packet)

1 Clove of Garlic

Spinach

Sun dried Tomatoes

Feta Cheese

Recipe:

1. Boil Gnocchi as directed on packet. Drain and set aside.

2. Heat some oil in a frying pan

3. Finely chop the garlic and add to frying pan, and fry until golden

4. Add sun dried tomatoes and gently fry

5. Add Gnocchi to pan and fry until golden

6. Add the spinach and heat

7. Remove from heat and add cubed feta cheese

8. Mix everything together

9. Serve

This is one of my favourite meals, but Gnocchi is super filing so remember, you won't need as much as you think you will. Especially because Gnocchi needs to be eaten when hot, letting it go cold turns it into a congealed mess and its not so good!

Definitely one to be served very hot!

Enjoy! xoxox
