I 30 Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, July 15th, 2004 DISH OF THE WEEK RATATOUILLE


with Renate Martin from a kitchen in St Tropez


ONE of the many highlights of a holiday in France is the delicious food, second only to the beautiful wines and brilliant sunshine. France is a country with many


facets and we enjoyed the oysters in Brittany the crab and fruits de mer in La Rochelle, and the lamb in Sis-


teron Provence is famous for its fresh


fruit and vegetables and the markets are a joy to behold with stalls full of sweet and juicy peaches, apricots and cherries and vegetables twice as big and twice as shiny as any I have ever seen. The Saturday market in St


Tropez is no exception, you can buy anything from an antique bedstead to sausages a mile long as well as delicious cheeses, fruit and vegeta­ bles.


. While staying with chums who


have a holiday home just outside this exclusive and chic town, our German friend Renate, who has lived in France nearly all her mar- ried'life, said she would make an authentic ratatouille for our supper. She searched the vegetable stalls like


- Sherlock Holmes searching for clues until she found just the right ingre­ dients for her special dish, not let­ ting the stall owner choose for her, but selecting her own. .


The secret of a true ratatouille,


she told Karen and I, is to cook all the vegetables separately in a large frying pan before combining them together. First she made a tomato- sauce from the huge fresh tomatoes, skinned and the seeds removed. The other secret is not to have too much liquid to dilute the taste. Ingredients (serves six)


9 9 tbsp olive oil • 2 red onions, chopped 9 2 cloves garlic, crushed, peeled


and chopped , ® 3 red peppers, deseeded and


roughly chopped ® 2 aubergines, roughly chopped


® 4 courgettes, roughly chopped • 1 kg fresh tomatoes, skinned and deseeded or 2 x 15oz tin

chopped tomatoes 9 bunch of oregano, chopped 9 bunch marjoram, chopped ® bunch of flat-leaf parsley,


chopped 9 sea salt 9 freshly ground black pepper. Method .


1. First of all chop the tomatoes


into small pieces and cook them in olive oil over a medium heat until soft. Add the chopped herbs and a little water. Season with salt and pepper and leave to infuse. 2. Heat three tablespoons of olive


oil in a large saucepan or frying pan, over a medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute for three min­ utes. Remove to a separate dish with a slotted spoon. 3. Saute the peppers in the


remaining oil, adding more if neces­ sary, for five minutes or so. When soft add to the onions and garlic. 4. Heat a further three table­


spoons of oil and saute the aubergines for five minutes until glossy and soft, transfer to the other vegetables. Saute the courgettes, although these will not need as much cooking. 5. Pour the tomato mixture over


the vegetables and return every-’ thing back to a large pan and sim-, mer gently for about an hour. When cooked stir in another six


tablespoons of olive oil and check the seasoning. Serve hot or at room temperature with crusty bread.

MOST vineyard pictures show vines with bare soil, neatly manicured, between the rows in an effort to let the vines take all the nutri­ ents and moisture that there is available. Not so with an organic


vineyard, where you would see a crop between the rows. This could be wheat or just grasses and flowers. This rich diversity


encourages wildlife and a natural ambience between the plants, insects and birdlife within the eco-sys- tem. In a vineyard like this,


you can be assured that the winemaker must be in har­ mony with the natural rhythms of the earth. Here the vine roots must


go deeper to gain their moisture and nutrients, often giving the grapes more flavour. After the har­ vest, the crop between the vines will be ploughed back into the soil, releasing extra nutrients for the following year. In addition, there will be little or no artificial fer­ tilisers or pesticides. One such vineyard, in


Chile’s Maipo Valley, belongs to Vina Carmen, a sister winery to Santa Rita. Vina Carmen was an


early pioneer of organic vitriculture in Chile. Here the vines are irrigated by the pure meltwater from the Andes. A new winemaking


team, led by Pilar Gonza­ lez, aided by Matias and Jose, offer us an insight into their world of organi­ cally-grown grapes in sin­ gle varietels. Gewurz- tramirier, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc for the whites and Carmenere, Carbernet Sauvignon and


Good home-cooked food in beautiful surroundings.

Merlot for the reds, mostly fermented with wild yeasts th a t are present on the grape skins themselves. I t was a t a recent


Chilean tasting that I came across a stunningly rich, big, chunky fruit wine from a single vineyard and was surprised to see that it was stocked by Booth's, for I had missed seeing this one on their shelves. Vina Carmen Nativa


Cabernet Sauvignon 2000 was the wine, from a vine­ yard in the Maipo Valley surrounded by eucalyptus trees, used as a windbreak. The wine has taken on some of the traits of the trees. There is a curious, but refreshing, hint of mint and eucalyptus, comple­ menting the throaty, deeply-coloured wine, which also has savoury flavours of rich blackcur­ rant and spices. A big wine in all ways,


except the price, £7.99 from Booth's. The importers I talked to say this is too cheap, but don’t tell Booth's that!

Hayley and Gemma cause quite a fright!


by Vivien Meath


ANYONE walking on Pen- dle Hill on Saturday could have had quite a shock. Friends Hayley Cusack and


Gemma Hall dressed as Pendle witches during a sponsored walk to raise funds for their forthcoming work placement in Africa. Hayley (22), of Mytton


View, Clitheroe, has just com­ pleted her second year at St Martin's College, Lancaster where she is training to become a primary school teacher. She leaves for five weeks in


Africa on July 27th. Her first two weeks will be spent in


Zimbabwe, followed by three weeks in Zambia. Before leaving England, she


is to spend two days training and meeting the team at All Nations Christian College, Hertfordshire. -Her placement has been


organised in conjunction with World Vision Student Chal­ lenge 2004, in association with Oasis Trust Global Action Teams, both Christian Aid and development organisa­ tions. The total cost of the trip is


£1,500, plus extra personal cost such as vaccinations. She has already managed to fund much of this through a part- time job and is currently,fund­ raising too.


MP in fight to protect our great regiment


A "RIDICULOUS” idea that the Queen’s Lancashire Regiment will be merged with another regiment has been quashed by MP for the Ribble Valley and Fuhvood, Mr Nigel Evans. The regiment, which is over 300 years old,


From Friday, 16th July, 2004


has gained more battle honours than any other infantry regiment. Mr Evans said: “The Queen’s Lancashire


Regiment has a reputation and history that is second to none. “I am totally apposed to any plans to


merge this great regiment and have today written to the Secretary of State for Defence, the Rt Hon Geoff Hoon MP, high­ lighting to him my concern over this possi­ ble measure and the strong opposition that the people of Lancashire have against such proposals. “This is as ridiculous as British Airways


merging with Virgin Trains, both of which are involved in Transport, but do two com­ pletely different jobs. “We must do all we can to protect this great British institution.”


Stylish farewell


VIORE than 170 pupils and staff irrived in style to the St Augustine’s EtC High School leavers ball - in iverything from top-of-the-range Fer- •aris and limousines to a pony and ;rap. The formal event, held at Mytton


Fold Hotel, Langho, drew a memo- •able end to the Year 11 pupil’s time it the school. Headteacher Mr Anthony McNa-


nara wished the leavers the best for ;he future, and then the head boy Ben Ellison led the pupils in a toast to ;hank all the staff for their support wer the years. Presentations were given to all the


:orm teachers, and also to the head joy, head girl Laura Makinson, ieputy head boy Zak Foley, and ieputy head girl Kimberley Shep­


herd. Mr Zen Ciezarek, assistant head­


teacher and head of Year 11, praised the pupils’ behaviour and the event’s success.

^*3 - { :.;©i ■ sST; In Africa, Hayley will be


carrying out community pro­ ject work. In Zimbabwe she will be based a t Shalom Campsite, an existing commu­ nity project area situated on the edge of the Matopos hills. Work may include:building new chalets to accommodate families, running sessions in local schools including drama and sportsand general mainte­ nance of the campsite. In Zambia, she will be based


in the "Nyamphande Area Development programme" in the east of the country. "I am still awaiting specific


details", says Hayley, "but I have been informed that the work will involve similar prac­ tical and relational activities


to the previous student chal­ lenges in this area, such as con­ struction of classrooms, learn­ ing about child sponsorship and visiting sponsor families and water carrying." Saturday's sponsored walk


during which the pair walked from Clitheroe to Padiham via Pendle Hill is just one of a variety of fund-raising efforts Hayley has been involved in. On Sunday, Hayley and


Gemma (22), of Padiham, are having a car boot sale at Gis- bum. Anyone wishing to sponsor


Hayley, can contact her via 01200 423082. Pictured is Hayley, right,

Beat bobby Angela proves she’s a real two-wheeled crime-buster!


THE phrase “on yer bike”, is often used when it concerns rural bobby PC Angela Gallager, as this is pre­ cisely what she does to rush to a scene of crime. And now with the help of a brand


new specially-designed bike, she will be able to get to her destination and tackle crime in no time. PC Gallager, who covers the


Simonstone and Read villages from Whaliey Police Station, is one of the country’s few, and the villages’ first, community beat manager who uses two wheels to get out and about and meet people. Previously, she used an old moun­

RURAL bobby PC Angela Gallagher prepares to get on her new bike at Whaliey Police Station (B070704/4c)


tain bike recruited from lost proper­ ty to patrol the villages, but that collapsed a few weeks ago. The 32-year-old, who has been


working in the Ribble Valley since March last year, said: “The new bike is absolutely great. “It has lots of gears, brake lights, a drinks container and even mark­


.1 ings on so people know it’s a police


bike. PC Gallagher, who previously


worked at Blackburn Police Station, has always enjoyed meeting the locals, but found it difficult to get around the rural borough on the old bike. “Riding the mountain bike was


hard work,” added PC Gallagher, who rides about four miles between the villages every day. “It had narrow tyres, was old and


it took me twice as long to get to Read and Simonstone from Whaliey every day. “With the new black-framed bike,


I have been able to respond to jobs a lot quicker. In fact, there have been times when I’ve pedalled to an emergency and been the first officer there! “It is good to look at and the best


thing is, children no longer take the micky out of me - they think ‘I ’m cool’.” (B070704/4b)
