Late Summer Lunch


LATE summer lunches need to be a flexible friend for Jonny Nicholson, Chef-Owner of The Sail Loft in sunny Southwold.


Hasn’t this summer been


a game of two halves, lovely and sunny one week, windy and showery the next, no idea what clothes to wear, let alone what food to cook. So you need to have something in your store cupboard and/ or the fridge that can quickly be knocked up for friends and family, whatever the weather. I’m thinking a recipe that is as nice, hot from the oven inside as the nights draw in for supper as it is cold eating lunch al fresco. Tarts, frittata, tortilla, a hearty wedge of something savoury and egg-based makes a lovely easy meal. They fill you up without weighing your afternoon down and go well with simple dressed green leaves and buttered new potatoes on the side. Quiche is


queen of them all, a real treat, particularly if still just warm from the oven. Supermarkets have a lot to answer for, the pappy, claggy, dry excuses they call quiche lorraine and the like would scar most kids for life away from ever trying a home-made one, but if you take time to bake your own and can convince the family to try it, you are all in for a treat. Here are a few of my favourite quiche fillings: Smoked haddock, curried


onions and basmati rice – the classic curried Indian kedgeree brunch in a pastry case. Courgette, pea and green


pesto – a herby mouthful, finished with mascarpone and more basil leaves. Spicy sausage, red chilli marmalade and roasted


peppers – a zingy choice if you like spicy and hot. Lamb meatball, charred


aubergine, mint and feta – bring a Mediterranean feel with a Middle Eastern edge. Smoked bacon, leek, wholegrain mustard and blue cheese – a variation on the traditional quiche lorraine flavours.


Butternut squash, fennel, chickpea and ricotta – a hearty late summer vegetable treat, lovely topped with red onion marmalade. Feel free to have fun with


this featured quiche recipe, mixing it up with whatever you fancy or have at hand, just add your own little spin on it. Alternatives which work well would be things like watercress or rocket instead


of the spinach, courgettes or fennel to replace the peppers, cheeses like feta, mascarpone or ricotta for the goats’ cheese. Just be mindful to how long substitutes take to cook in comparison, if they are chunky or firmer, then soften them on the hob or in the oven first. I like replacing the simple


onions with red onion marmalade, red chilli jam or a tasty chutney. Piccalilli might be a step too far, just depends how gastronautically experimental you’re feeling?! Enjoy… Jonny

HARL E ST ON Countrysiders - the junior arm of Young Farmers- have celebrated the end of their current year with countywide success. Over recent months, members, aged between 10 and 16 years old have enjoyed another successful and busy year. Membership has grown


with lots of new faces and at almost all meetings, 25 or more eager countrysiders attend. Some of the most enjoyed meetings this year have included craft


evenings, farm walks and CPR training with the East Anglian Air Ambulance. Harleston are a lovely, friendly, sociable bunch who are fiercely competitive as well. This year they have really excelled in competitions


including


William Edwards winning countrysider stockman of the year at the Royal Norfolk Show and then represented Norfolk YFC at eastern area with Tom Alexander in stockjudging. Ellamae Hinsley, Iris Keeble and Tom Alexander also


represented Norfolk in the Eastern Area and National YFC reading competition. The annual YFC rally, also held at the Royal Norfolk Showground, proved to be a very good day at the office as Harleston were named as the highest scoring club at the rally receiving the Rod Tuck trophy for the third year running.

the Club, please telephone, Club Leader, Helen Reeve on 07795327011 or hmreeve@msn.com
