Roasting your veggies for a curry is a game changer. They become all nutty and caramelised. Added to the fragrant curry paste and creamy coconut milk. Whammy.

Scottish Rumpledethumps
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 45 mins
Serves 6
England has bubble and squeak, Ireland owns colcannon and, in Scotland, this delicious fry-up of vegetables is called rumbledethumps. The dish is popular in the Scottish border regions and is perfect for using up leftover mashed potatoes and vegetables you have in the fridge.
The beauty of this dish is that you do not have to worry about the quantities. If you are using leftovers, then what you have will dictate the recipe. Everyone has their own version, so adjust the recipe to suit your tastes. We love to top with some cooked bacon and red onions for extra flavour.

Spiced apple and carrot squares
Total time: 30 mins
Makes 24 squares
Apples are one of the easiest snacks simply on their own but I also love to add them to lots of my baking creations. This spiced apple and carrot treat calls for a few spices that are really comforting and tasty. If you don’t have all three at home just use as many as you have and increase the total spice quantity to two teaspoons.
