Piedmontese Peppers with Polenta

Japanese Shiitake Omelette with grilled vine tomatoes and Guacamole

American style pancakes with mixed berry and crème fraîche

Also made some Quesadillas, very tasty but not that photogenic. Might make some Gazpacho this week.

Now these are called Tamarillos. I can never remember seeing one back in the UK, but here in NZ they are only second to the Kiwi fruit as a national icon. In fact New Zealand is the only country in the world to grow these for international export. Native to South America, and long forgotten, the Kiwi’s embraced and re-named it. You scoope out the fleshy inside, and can either eat it raw (with a pinch of sugar) or use in loads of sweet and savoury dishes. Would be interesting to see if you can track it down in the UK, probably not fresh but it is made into chutney.

DAMN STRAIGHT
